How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Good morning, all; I am getting a bit of a late start today. I must start getting some work done, if only so I have decent monthly invoices to submit in a week or so.

I had a horrible, vivid dream last night that I relapsed and started drinking. It was one of those times when you wake up and are vastly relieved that it was all just a dream.

My happy event for today is my badly needed haircut and eyebrow wax. I had to reschedule twice because of (a) potential jury duty and (b) the prolonged government shutdown. I'm looking forward to getting tidied up and to catching up with my hairdresser.

One more decent weather day here until a storm blows in tonight. I'm envious of those of you who are in warmer climates. ☀️

I've never really cared for Aldi, but the two closest ones to us are quite good for food and drink. The large one near my daughter is, however, disappointing when it comes to everyday items. I prefer Lidl.

The snow has gone and has been replaced by rain. I'm not sure which is worse.

I do too..I prefer Lidl much more.. but unfortunately there's no Lidl anywhere near my town... if I want to shop there I have to make a special trip to the next county.... where there's a really big one , and so I only ever shop at Lidl when I have other things to to do in the next county...

As I'm sure you are aware, we've got both Lidl and Aldi in the Borehamwood Shopping Park (or whatever it's called now, I still call it the Boulevard)

Separating those two German brands we have an M&S food outlet, and just down from those three is a B&M store. We've also got a Chinese food shop, a Pets At Home shop and a Poundland, as well as a Boots. We've lost our Argos and WH Smith shops though as well as the Debenhams we used to have.

So if you ever come over to BH then spend an hour or so wandering around the shops, and then you can sit down in the Costa for a nice coffee.

Today I'll attend to some business work, then will inventory my frozen cookie dough to see what needs making this week. At Saturday's party the gang nearly wiped out all the sugar cookies I'd made. I'll have to roll and cut out more of those because our preschool GS will likely spend a day here during the TG break, and he'll want to decorate cookies, for sure.

I know those shops..aside from the Chinese food shop which I don't remember being there ..that must have arrived after I retired. Debenhams was just closing down when I retired....

I try not to go to Borehamwood..my X still works at the studios and he lives on the ''high'' street.. so I don't want to bump into him...😖
 
Hubby & oldest son are off to get Hubby's car's engine rebuilt.
lots of things needed fixed before they got the car loaded & spare parts for it.

Nine hour drive drop off car & start back.
Probably see them some time Wednesday?

With no but the dog to bother me,,, I should be 'buzzing' around getting house clean or baking done.

Last load of washing is in the dryer,,,, now need to put away the dry clothes.
And dog is looking wishful for another long walk.

I'm looking at the couch,,,,,back needs rest..............nap???

Hope all is well with everyone.
