So much for doing a weekly round up! Whoops.

HOME: life got busy and my decluttering/#orjenising stalled.

HEALTH my sleep patterns are still FUBAR'd but otherwise good.

LIFE ADMIN: looking at European alternatives to Gmail and Dropbox - eyeing up Proton.

DIGITAL DECLUTTER: have kept email at mail at 11,000 but not managed to reduce it; staying on top of transferring To Keep items from tablet to dropbox, my phone images storage is a mess.

GARDENING/ALLOTMENTING: nope - too cold and/or wet and lacked motivation.

COOKING/EATING: a few too many coffee shop lunches but resisting the lure of takeaways.

READING/LISTENING: not the last few weeks.

WATCHING: Still not caught up on Stranger Things and have only managed one episode of Heated Rivalry. Keeping up with returning shows and trying to avoid picking up new ones! Did bing Marple and Miss Marple in Wales.

CREATING/LEARNING: dealing with sewing in ends on Halloween blanket then need to block it and the granny square blanket. Hecicardi 75% finished but need to frog a bit and redo. While in Wales did 24 granny squares for small project bags and 13 for large bag. Just need to decide if I want more to make bags larger. Have plenty of wool - then must stitch together, line and finish.

CATS: all good.

VOLUNTEERING: still have one outstanding task.

SOCIALISING: nope - not even phone calls. Proper hermitting other than crochet club and class.

WORK: a bit meh for the last few weeks and have unfortunately scheduled 3 consecutive weeks of weekend working.

Plan for this coming week - work long office days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, TOIL Wednesday, off Friday and Sunday, working Saturday.

Over the last few days, I had fangirls come to visit! [profile] wyndwalker stayed with me, and [personal profile] goddess47 popped over every day to encourage us to stay out of trouble or possibly to create trouble. I get those two confused.

Much popcorn was eaten and much figure skating was watched (along with other Olympic sports. Double Luge anyone?

We had some great fandom conversations over cake and coffee. These are the kind of conversations my family members couldn't care less about, but are bread and butter to me.

We held each other up over the shock of [personal profile] spikedluv's passing, along with other fandom peeps lost through the years.

We wrote, read fanfic, ate a lot and when asked what quirky thing I'd watched lately...(I'm always watching stuff off the beaten path) I could recommend Jules.
