Progress Report

1. A nice cup of tea

it's a good start to any list

2. Plant some bulbs

daffodils, tulips, anemone, iris, allium

3. Indulge in some retail therapy

dark blue winter aster for the dining room table

4. Watch MasterM play rugby

there is nothing like seeing your son score a drop goal

I suppose Mrs Wilkinson feels like this all the time

5. Take Poppy for a walk somewhere without exclusion notices

quiet woodland paths

6. Cook Roast Chicken

and we had cauliflower cheese, my favourite

7. Be nice to MrM - at least once.

I am sure I was

especially when he discovered

that his delight at the victory

of England over Australia

was dented slightly

by

the

failure

of

the

person

who

set

the

video-recorder.

Not me, this time, fortunately.
