I usually read my New Statesman on a Saturday but somehow I find myself watching Jonathan Creek on the television. Oh well… I will see how it goes.

I was looking for clothes in plain black and ended up with quite a long black dress but I have been thinking that I don’t really feel happy in a dress without leggings or jeggings or something. I have now bought something more like me and today I sent the long dress back because it was exactly as received including the label. It’s a very long time, like many many years since I wore clothing without jeans or leggings or jeggings.

My friend gave me a bunch of lavender from her garden. It smells absolutely lovely and seems to go on and on!

It’s been quite a day! I seem to have been busy non stop. What a day!

I ordered a roast dinner which was a really nice meal and I enjoyed every mouthful. It’s been a nice day and I had a call from my son even though I didn’t have much to say for myself. It is lovely to hear his voice.

Humanist marriages are to be made legal in England and Wales. They already are in Scotland and the North of Ireland. Excellent News!!

I am not really with it this morning – I have done a few things but not really properly awake. Maybe after lunch.

For a person who doesn’t really watch any sport there’s quite a bit on at the moment. I didn’t grow up with any competitive spirit. A belief l should do my best, without the wish to win over other people.

I was so tired. Turned off the alarm. Went to the loo and back to bed. I knew I have a visitor coming and daren’t nod off. Struggled to my feet. I’m now downstairs facing my breakfast. Television on. Trying to wake up…

So I couldn’t get to sleep last night, gave up and came downstairs. I had a few naps, watched things l had recorded on the television but although I rested and dozed off a few times I have not much sleep to talk about really.
