Working my butt

The best thing about today is that my water butt got a refill.

The rain has been absolutely torrential at times, so I’ve been glad of having nowhere to go and instead knuckling down with some work. I felt like things were maybe getting away from me, but having trotted out a “to do” list, I can see that I’m far more on top of things than I had given myself credit for. It’s amazing how much more work can be achieved when you’re not stuck on a closed M6.

When there’s something nagging at you, getting it written down on a piece of paper (it’s what we used to write and draw on back in the day, kids) is a great way of diminishing its power. Frustratingly, there is one item on the list that for reasons which are entirely out of my control, I can do nothing about until next week, but even there I am afforded the opportunity to quote one of my favourite lyrics from Hamilton:-

“I’m not falling behind or running late
I’m not standing still 
I am lying in wait…”

As for the rest of this evening, I have some quality time with The Eldest, who in preparation for the arrival of the new Spider-Man film has requested to watch all of the old Spider-Man films. Yes, even Spider-Man 3 (Tobey Maguire’s last outing), which was every bit as terrible as I remember. So much dancing…

Andrew Garfield’s take is up next and he must have been so happy that the bar had been set so low!
