A day in my life — part one

Another month has disappeared and it is time for "A day in my life" again. The day has just started, I've let my darling in and "tucked him in bed" (yes, he requires to be cuddled and talked to before getting his morning sleep), been down to the mailbox to fetch the daily papers and am now sitting in the library hoping it will be a slow and pleasant day. Up till now the year has been filled with appointments, electricians, plumbers and that kind of things. Yesterday we got the new radiators for our largest room (50 m²), which has been hard to keep warm with the old radiators. Now we're only waiting for a guy to come and install a ramp on one of our entrances.

So what do I hope to get done today?
A pie for a friend that is coming to see me.
Some mice work — I'm running a mice theme on a Swedish blog. Mainly pictures, but also text both in English and Swedish. The whole thing started before Christmas when a fellow blogger, Christina, got uninvited houseguests.
I need to catch up on mails and letters.
To read by the fire.

It will be interesting to see how much I managed of this — or if the day, as so often, takes off in its own direction and all I can do is to follow to the best of my ability.

But first tea!

Plans


It is a bad plan that admits of no modification.

If that is true all my plans are excellent — things seldom turns out as I meant them to. Yesterday I started the day full of good intentions; I should pay my bills, write some letters that I'd put off far too long, work on the Advent calendar and hopefully answers mails.
A friend called early in the day — she was about to order tea and wanted my opinion. Such an important subject as tea can't be dismissed too glibly.

After dinner (remember, I live in a rural area where dinner is an early affair) I ended up listening to the radio. There are so many interesting programs; unfortunately it is impossible to do any important writing or reading at the same time as you listen.

When the sandmand urged me to head upstairs to join him I hadn't done a fraction of all I had planned. This means I have no problem to fill my day today.
