Cellar Note
Authored
"You'll have to tread new ground to soon secure your Easter treat. There might be a ghost, a body, or a mouse lurking you don't want to meet."
I was tricked into our cellar for the first time today. It's damp and gross and I'm pretty sure it's haunted but I followed R's clues down there to find my chocolate Easter bunny. This year I planned a hunt for R too. So. Much. Fun. Having more than a 1 bed flat to search really took it to a new level.
What else happened this week?
- Planning my day in excruciating detail continues to be helpful, in work and at the weekend. Often the plan isn't followed as things crop up but it's good to reference. I can make more effective priority calls and maintain focus through the constant undercurrent of stress and biscuit eating.
- My foot is injured and it's difficult to walk far. It must have happened whilst running, I think I remember a concerning twinge, but... I went for a walk with another real human being, slept, and trekked to B&Q for a click and collect purchase before noticing?
- That's right I met another human! For a walk and lunch out on a bench. Aren't other humans great? I have now exhausted my list of local contacts (2) and we're unable to drive to see other friends or family soooooo... roll on 17th May!
- I think I may have been verbally assaulted on my way to collect an asparagus fern, a new addition to the family. Someone shouted quite suddenly "tangerine!" I can only think, in hindsight, that my gingery beard must have been looking particularly magnificent in the sun. They were old enough to not be a prat so my initial reaction was to assume Tourette's syndrome and ignore? I should've asked. It was bewildering.
- Our house is full of flour now, I did a big order to experiment with my bread making.
- We also broke into our annual (more or less) delivery of loo roll from who gives a crap. This year I opted to pay £2 more for the premium bamboo version. It's nice. On the one hand when we can have guests again I want their bottoms to be cared for, on the other hand I'm embarrassed that the loo roll says premium on it. I'm now a person that pays a premium for loo roll and displays that fact.
Happy Easter 🤗 ☀️
