The job hunting is under way in earnest and I have applied for a number. That said, I am enjoying being at home and pottering about. It is nice to spend some extended time with the dog and cats.
I have painted the front door, started to make the back yard look at least half decent, thrown away junk and started to sort out the house.
It is only once you start on these things that you realise quite how much there is to do. If I sat and thought about it, I would probably run for the hills, and if I plan to do something I will find no end of reasons to avoid doing it. I go for spontaneity. I will be sitting drinking a cup of coffee, spot something that needs doing and get up and do it. If I tackle things little by little, then the tasks ahead do not seem so daunting.
I have a plan for freeing up space for storage. Once that is done, I can clear all the "stuff" that my soap business has generated from downstairs. It will be lovely to be able to walk around the house without having to step over or around, or indeed trip over, boxes. This is a small house, and the amount of clutter that I do not currently have shelves for makes it seem even smaller. There is much left to do, but at least I have made a start.
After the recent hot weather, we have had heavy rain and cooler temperatures and I hope that summer is not over. We waited so long for it to start that we deserve it to last. The nights are closing in, and the football season has started which is fairly depressing because both these things point to the approach of winter.
