Who's going to tackle Friday with me?

Howdy.  I missed yesterday's thread because I napped all morning, had some minor work emergencies, and had to do the scout craft in the evening.  I am glad to have a few nagging things behind me this week.

 

Today I have to get some work out so I can enjoy my weekend.  The kids have a couple of activities this evening, but the school provides transport to one of them (bowling) and my hired driver will take them to the second (horse riding).  After that, probably dinner out.

 

I am so excited to say that my old Aunt Flo has returned after a long absence.  Actually no I am not excited.  :/  I think that is why I keep wanting to sleep so much.

 

Oh, just remembered, the maids are supposed to come today.  Not sure - they cancel half of the time.  Makes it hard to plan.

Jean, hope you can get a nap.

Selfie and Scout, feel better!

 

Cool and drizzly here, so a good day for desk work and nice, warm cups of herb tea. I am trying to make this sound appealing, but I have to get to some things I have put off, so ðŸ™.

 

My treat for today will be rearranging some pictures on one wall and trying out some new matting colors. This is the kind of thing I love doing.

 

My local supermarket has had good looking whole snapper. And they will scale and clean it. (Scales fly about everywhere, Ime.) I have been reading a great Mark Bittman book on fish and will double check how to cook whole fish.

I ordered Selkie's book on How Not to Die. It's supposed to arrive today, looking forward to reading it.
