Not done one of these for a few weeks as I've been pretty busy!

I had a brutally busy week at work. To make things worse, I needed to travel for a conference on Sunday, so I got only half a weekend. Sigh.

Got up Monday and started work at 8am... forgetting it was a Bank Holiday... work from home, so not a problem. Got a jump start on the week so I could skive on other days and only work about 25hrs anyway.

Went for a few bike rides out into the countryside on my ebike for some fresh air and exercise.

Finished the decorating in the hall, just waiting to fit the new skirting and architrave as joiner is away until next week and it's a complicated job around radiators and stairs... I can do simple square/rectangular rooms, but this has about 15 corners and other angles to deal with, and he's doing some oak trim around the new oak staircase to finish, as well as doing the newel post caps that were on order.

Moved my home office desk/computer into my bedroom for a while, so I can clear out the last two bedrooms ready to decorate next month. Gotta open up some walls in one to fit acoustic insulation and add some extra sockets.

Watched a few movies and some TV shows... It's been a very quiet week, hardly left the house. Today is a Sunday, about to go out for another ride as the sun came out and she's cooking up a chicken and dumpling casserole for lunch.

Aside from that, some cleaning and washing to do... a typical lazy Sunday.
