So, today during my No Spend November, I completed my usual chores, which included washing up from the night before (too damn lazy to do on the eve I eat, plus surely bending down to stack the dishwasher would result in indigestion?), fed my chickens and dogs, put a load of washing on, made the beds and hoovered (I know I should say vacuumed, but I am a child who was raised in the 70's).
Next, I entered the Study to collect the six bags I had ready to take to the Charity shop. I love Charity shops - they are run by such lovely, kind people who love a wholesome chat. They also usually have at least one piece of treasure but today I didn't dare look in case I got tempted and wanted to buy something. I handed over my goodies, which took three trips back and forth to the car, and off I went empty handed and with that warm, fuzzy feeling.
After lunch at home, I drove to meet a friend for a lakeside walk with my puppy, Lola. It was such a beautiful, Autumn day and the leaves were yellow and orange hues with the sunlight dappling through them, My friend and I did a lap of the lake and then she had to go. I did another lap with Lola, who loved sniffing all the dogs she met and doing the funny play pose all dogs seem to do. Dog owners are so friendly and it's probably as important for the dog's humans to socialise as it is for them.
I came home to more chores and am about to tackle my massive ironing pile, which should keep me out of trouble. I save up all the things I want to watch to make it more pleasurable and time speeds by.
