1) I phoned Exodus to ask about cancelling the trip to Nepal, but there's no difficulty as it's early and I should get all of the money back. Call me stupid, ridiculous or whatever but since that plane crashed heading to Pokhara a few days ago I've known I can't go. It's one thing being aware that their flights have a poor safety record, it's quite another seeing the result on the news.

2) The carpet shop said they had the price comparison figures if I'd like to pop up. So I did, and paid them, and then carried on for a short walk in the brilliant sunshine.

3) A friend messaged to ask how I was, so rather than messaging back I phoned her and we had a good chat.

4) Was going to paper the last hall wall but had forgotten some filling was needed, so did that.

5) I cleaned my walking boots... and noticed that they're deteriorating in several places now. The uppers are looking very tired too.

6) I got the sewing machine out and altered a rucksack to suit me better - I do like Lowe Alpine sacks.

7) Because I'd missed yoga on Wednesday I used my credit on one of the class videos, but gave the more strenuous poses a miss.

8) ...and I think that's enough, tomorrow will be a more restful day... although I do need to do the shopping!
