Friday morning

I have a morning routine - even when we are on holidays!

I usually get up and on my way past my computer I turn it on. I then head into the kitchen and pour myself a glass of orange juice (none in the house today) and then open curtains, let out the dog (if Ivan hasn't already done it). By the time I have done these couple of things, my computer has hummed to life and I open my emails. The days that no-one has emailed me are always a little sadder. I normally write to Michelle and answer other emails when they appear.

Then it is time to log onto Vesta. I used to just go straight in, but now I always check my blogs that I am following and have a lovely chortle at the posts that have come in. It is always such a joy to share news and thoughts from around the world.

If I have managed to get a photo I try and post it and write a little.

Of course some days I am just too slack or too busy and I don't get round to Vesta, but I must admit that I love reading everyone's.

What a great way to start the day.

Now today I also have loads of washing to do, tidying up from our day out yesterday, shopping - a serious shortage of basic essentials (chocolate and toothpaste being high on the list) and some cleaning.

Oh yes, I also have an essay to write. It is due on April 30th and I am back next week, so should get my A into G.

We do have beautiful sunshine today, so if it dries out, also need to mow the lawn, hmmm - that is what 15 year old son's can do?

That is my day, had better get to the shower and get going - no orange juice for me this morning, so day is ruined! Had better get out to the shops for sure.
