Lots To Do

Even though it's Sunday, that doesn't prevent me from getting through a big long list of things that need doing.

Firstly I've got to clean the kitchen because whilst I'm clinging on to the mere hope that I can get away with doing a full house clean for the moment, and saving it until just before I go away, the use the kitchen has been getting of late has left it somewhat dirty, I might even go so far as saying filthy. And indeed, to demonstrate just how dirty it is, it takes me about an hour to do a proper job.

I then head out into the garden, and though some may say prematurely, I give the grass a mowing. There is some logic behind the early trimming however, and that is that the mower acts quite well as a dead leaf vacuum and the lawn has gathered more than it's fair share over the autumn and winter, thanks to the mighty big tree that we have at the back of the property. I also gather up all the dead leaves that have festooned the flower beds and do some more trimming back of plants which have long since bloomed and withered up in the frosty weather.

Further to my plans of going away, I also manage to extract the suitcase from the shed and became bitterly disappointed upon realising that it wasn't of the magnitude I'd envisaged during my shopping trip for all things warm - fear not though because it does expand nicely, and I'm pretty sure that if I launch myself onto it from a great height I will be able to compress it sufficiently so in order to do the zip up. I've had plenty of practice with this sort of thing, especially on the "jean size too small" phenomena.

I also get a chance to do a bit of baking, this time it's banana loaf - and although it is no where near the standard of one of my friends version of said loaf, for a low fat version its just about edible and will probably curb my cravings for all things cake like for a while.
