Week 2
Monday
Hello everyone! How was your weekend?
I’m still on holidays - 
and the same as last week still applies - I don’t have enough time to post all these days in individually - but it will all go back to normal when I get home.
This week’s Weekly Special is PROCRASTINATION WEEK. This is a time that you make a list of all the things you have been putting off, and starting to tick them off one by one. Painting that fence? Planting bulbs? What about decluttering that cupboard or drawer? What about baking a cake for an elderly relative or neighbour? Visiting your Granny?
You will need to set your own tasks this week, since I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea what would be on your list.
Today’s focus room is the garden.
So go on and get yourself out in the sunshine and fresh air and spend ½ hour working away.
