todayiamadaisyParrot fight! It's bright early these mornings, and the birds are up and chirping long before my alarm goes off. And so it is with the rosellas having their parrot argument across the road. I lay awake for a couple of minutes, but I know I won't get back to sleep, not with the sun bursting in and the rosellas chattering out.
So I'm up, and at the piano. Warm up, then scales and exercises for B minor week, and pick at a couple of pieces. I'm still making smoothies for breakfast, today using up the last of the coconut water. I don't think I'll be getting more. Percy appears. I make toast while he has some salmon; I eat my toast while he sits on my knee and washes his face, breathing fishy breath on me.
Work: pay last week's invoices, prepare pays for tomorrow for casual staff, put together a welcome-and-here's-some-forms-to-fill-in package for the new office girl who will collect it tomorrow and start next week, prepare the mail because the old office girl finished last week and I have to do it myself. A visit from my mother's partner, wanting to know where he could buy a footstool because the furniture shop down the road from my office only had one and he didn't like it.
Home again. The green waste collection is on Wednesday, so I mow the lawn. Water the garden, pick some spinach. Make Delia's eggs florentine for dinner, remember that I like eggs and I like spinach, but I would prefer only half the huge amount of white sauce in it. Find a pencil and note this on the recipe. Do the ironing, play on the internet, read a few chapters of We Have Always Lived in the Castle before bed.
So that was my day. How was yours?
