Last week’s To do’s, and a new list for this week ….
Last Week’s To Do’s
As I said last week was a bit bleh, and today I am not feeling real flash.. sore throat and icky, so I do hope I am not coming down with something…
I got a bit distracted with the lounge room last week because we got a new-to-us couch set from the Salvos. Had to take some things out to make space for the new, but I’m happy with the “new’ set…
We had quite a few nice sunny days last week, this week the rain has really set in. I also got the hearth swept up, there were lots of little bits of wood under the basket, so got all that into the fire.. of course it doesn’t take long for all the ash and wood to get back again, but at least it was clean and tidy for a bit!
The door was broken, some bits had come off, and DH fixed it last week – it’s burning so much better now, amazing! We were going through so much wood before, now it’s lasting much longer. I didn’t clean the glass of the door – it’s been so long, can’t remember what the best way is . I seem to recall some people saying to use cold ash? Any thoughts?
While I was doing all this in the lounge room, Loki was “lounging” in his little Teepee…
Now, on to what I was supposed to be doing last week!
In the Kitchen
Tidy pantry – nope, got distracted with the lounge room instead!!
Tidy freezer – did a bit

IN THE GARDEN
Plant veggies in pots ~ planted silverbeet and spinach

In the Home
Since we got the new to us couch set, the old one had to go out. It is now sitting in the kitchen/dining area, and I want it out! It’s not a big area, so we can’t get at the table at the moment.. the cats are loving having it there…
…but I am not! Thing is, we need to make space in the back room for it, so that’s why it’s still sitting there. So this week it needs to go!
Move Couch out!!
Tidy kitchen/dining area
IN THE GARDEN
Finish planting veggies in pots
Plant parsley in pots
Sort seeds
Find mini greenhouses and put in some seeds
And that’s it folks… enough to keep me busy I think?!
I’m linking up with Linda’s To Do Tuesday
What is on your To Do list this week?
Also linking with:
We had a wood and coal burning fireplace insert in our last house that we loved. It and the Ashley wood/coal stove came in quite handy when we had a huge snow storm and were without power for three days. It was nice to be able to cook on and in them!! I hope you are feeling better soon and have fun with your goals this week!! It does appear the kitty loves the extra sofa!
Hope you feel better soon….. and lovely to have your fire going properly…. it might self clean with the heat??? our does though it never looks properly clean…

Really hope the ‘icky feeling’ doesn’t develop any further! Take care of you.
Your list is a long one but you’ll get such a feeling of accomplishment when you tick things off.
You made great progress! A little in every area! Good luck this week.
Hope you start feeling better Joy. Loki is so cute! Love your new sofa setting, and that view you have is beautiful. Yes the cats always love their own sofa – lol! Good luck getting it sorted out this week. Your Chooky blocks are so cute.
Thank you for sharing with us at To Do Tuesday!
Lovely blocks, and your new sofa is looking great!
