It’s seems a while since I joined in with the ‘Day In The Life…’ bloggers but I actually remembered this month (even if my camera decided not to play along – still can’t get it to upload, inc all our honeymoon pics – woe!).

0546 – For some strange reason I feel wide awake but have no clue what time it is (the perils of not getting round to getting a battery for my watch) so haul myself out to the living room to locate my phone and then curse myself for being up so early. Crawl back to bed.

0800 – Lie in bed chatting with Him Indoors trying to work out a plan for the day and both agree it’s too cold/wet for tackling the garden invader/weed of doom. (Our new place is being overtaken with the highly poisonous/dangerous Hogweed – click on link for tales of scars that last for years and possible blindness!!)

0830 – Get up, shower and grab some tea and toast before gathering together all we need for taking out to the ’shire.

0900 – HI remembers he has a couple of job applications he wants me to look over so do that and then have a fit as I manage to snap a knitting needle when packing my knitting into my bag.

1050 – Cannot believe where the time has gone but only just arriving at the house and as we have agreed to go to the in-laws for lunch at 12pm decide just to drop our stuff off and head up the road via all the charity shops on the way. Saw a couple of tables and a rocking chair that were tempting but got freaked out by a rather weird shop assistant badgering us so left it. We did however bag a tea towel with ‘Authentic Canadian Beaver’ on it and a print of Glasgow Cross.

1230 – Enjoy many a cup of tea but no lunch at the in-laws as they are all running round doing other things – including washing the uber annoying dog.

1330 – Escape back out into the rain to buy planters to sow some peas and lettuce and also grab a bacon roll to keep us going.

1400 – HI gets stuck in with the wallpaper stripping while I do what seems like 50 sink loads of dishes, scrub the kitchen and plant the seeds.

1825 – Hungry and tired we both decide to call it a day and I get on the train home while HI stays out to go round a mate’s.

1930 – Having had a baked potato, a large mug of tea and a lightening quick tidy of the flat I take a well-deserved flop on the couch and do a spot of knitting to The Darjeeling Limited DVD.

2145- Surprise arrival of HI as I expected him to stay out until the last train home. Grab the duvet and snuggle up on the couch while flicking between ‘US Party Bangers’ and ‘Ultimate U2 Top 40′ and discussing what we’ll do with our day off on Sunday.
