Easter Weekend

This Easter we stayed put in London, as we'd only just returned from a trip to Yorkshire the previous weekend. I've had a lot on my mind this last week and been very distracted, so I was looking forward to the Easter weekend. I've been back to my normal days and hours at work this week, which has been good.

I was working on Maundy Thursday and took the bus in to work, as I just wasn't feeling like cycling in.  Sometimes, I just need a break from it. Getting into work was a bit of a nightmare, as I had a long wait for a bus. I was instantly regreting taking the bus, but not enough to go home and get on my bike. I eventually got to work with just a minute to spare.

Work was busy as usual. We're getting a lot more donations at the moment, so I spent most of the day working my way through them and pricing clothing. I felt physically and mentally drained when I left work and looked forward to a Good Friday at home with no plans.  

Good Friday was a chilled day at home. OH was cycling at the local velodrome all day. I could have gone with him, but I had a few things that I needed to do, including completing LB's student finance application, after finally getting the information that I needed from work. I was happy to get that done at least. Both OH and I have now completed it, so she should get an offer at some point in the near future.

On the dog walk on Friday night, I picked up a couple of pots on the route, that someone had left outside their house with a note saying 'Please take'. This big pot will come in useful for a fruit bush, tree or shrub at some point, although it does need holes drilling into it.

The woven basket, I thought was pretty and was in great condition, just a few leaves and a bit of soil in the bottom. I may put one of the plants in the living room into it. Great freebies. 

Saturday, I was back at work. Central London was very busy with people visiting the capital over the Easter weekend. The shop was steady but not super busy. I got quite a bit of work done today, but I wasn't really in the zone, like I usually am. OH came into town to pick me up from work, as I'd bought a few bulky items and needed to get them home.  I was really tired on leaving work and OH parked up and we stayed in town for a drink and pie and mash at a pub near the shop. It was nice to eat out together, to get a lift home and for us not to have to cook supper for a change.

The rest of the Easter weekend was spent just chilling at home. With travel chaos everywhere, I was glad that we didn't need to go anywhere. On Easter Monday, I attended my usual class at the gym in the morning, which was good. I was very happy to hear that my instructor had finally successfully managed to get her mother over to the UK from the Ukraine, which must have been a massive weight off her shoulders.

OH came along with me to the gym and walked the dog in a nearby park until I was finished and then we both headed off together to do the weekly shop, which made a change. Whilst I did the shopping, he filled the car with petrol and put it through the car wash, as it was filthy, and then went to buy a few things he needed from B&Q. A pretty boring but chilled weekend at home. Nothing exciting happening here.

I hope you guys had a lovely Easter weekend.
