I had 3 days of that at the weekend. I even cut down on gransnet posting.
Back to normal today!

I have just spent three hours strimming and mowing the lawn after our holiday. It was pretty damp so much harder work than usual. OH is now doing the other half of it. Then deadheading and picking masses of veg so that we can make chutney tomorrow when the rain comes again.
The work never stops here!

Am hanging head in shame

No need KateK.
We have a huge amount of work here in spring, summer and autumn, but in winter rural France is completely dead, so we have lots of sofa days (apart from log hauling!).

It's raining on and off again, and like the weather I am feeling a bit yuck today. Have had a scratchy throat for a couple of days, and no energy, and feeling achey. So why is it that I am feeling guilty about being on the sofa with a book and my Ipad? Yesterday I made two cakes and meant to slice and freeze them, but when I came down late this morning, they were still there waiting. Have now put them in the freezer, but did sample a slice of the Date, Walnut and Banana one. The second load of washing is churning, after DH stripped and remade the bed. It took him ages, but I left him to it today. I could do with a cup of tea, but himself is dozing on the other sofa, he'll wake up when the machine starts to spin, I hope. Told you! Tea here in a mo.

<opensoneeye> did someone speak.......zzzzzzzz

Well, made it through the day but was a bit like a rabbit in the headlights over lunch. Don't think anyone noticed though. (I hope) Now back on sofa......

It's great to hear that so many of us have sofa days. I have no choice most days these days so it can get quite tedious when I would rather be doing something else but confined to quarters. Still, some good tele has come back on, even rubbish afternoon tele, like Who'se Doing The Dishes? is good at the moment. Plus the quizzes, then there's jigsaws to do and wait for postman to bring my ebay goodies.

So all enjoy your sofa days, rest up before the rush of the winter festival approaches. Recharge your batteries, we deserve it, we have worked hard for years and years.

I've had three days of slobbery, although I have unpacked my suitcase which usually takes weeks. Does anyone else find they pick at food a lot on days like this, though..put on weight and then feel more slobbery than before? I ate nothing but Cornflakes yesterday with copious amounts of milk and sugar ; oh and some ginger biscuits that the S.O. had left at my house [they go so well with a cup of tea, don't they!].

sunshine today, hoora.

Made a decision to do the dead heading today, last time before winter probably.

The garden is still so full of colour and foliage it has been my joy. My neighbours finally chopped down their leylandi one side and blow me their laurel on the other side. (I hate laurel) and it has made such a difference for us.

Happy gardening to those who love to garden, soon be the frosts

feel like that today, took dog out at 7 this morning, had breakfast fell asleep on settee for an hour, need to go to shop but cant get motivated and its raining.

Please may I join the Sofa Club? Feeling extremely guilty as I shirked my exercise class this morning. My excuse? I travelled by train to London (4 hour journey) for the weekend, to visit two of my grandchildren. It was great fun as usual but tiring, and I seem to take a day or two over it.

...to take a day or two to GET over it!

I managed to hoover today and clean the George Forman grill after DH had steak last night. (Not a job for a vegetarian) Once saw one of these advertised as a George Formby grill! That's what we call them now. Back on sofa to gain some energy for tonight's panto rehearsal.

Don't want to worry anybody but some of this sounds a lot like depression. How lucky you are Indinana to have your daughter, grand baby (and dog) popping in. My daughter and our 2 grand daughters were living in Australia until a couple of weeks ago and I longed for the day when they could just come round so I now relish the mess and tiredness when they now do.

You are all so normal !!!
Has it not been said since time began...
Life has its ups and downs!!!!
If you don't have down days ??? How on earth will you enjoy your up monuments/days??

Those that are hard pressed to daily fill obligations for weeks on end ! Often end up crashing out with illness , that makes them rest !
My normal has always been erratic !! I work hard for three days, but by Friday its sloth, ww/ends are very mixed , depending on weather , and family !!!
At present I am at my daughters in USA enjoying sunny and hot days !! This weather I love! Also helping my family is a joy ! Back UK in Oct:

patd if you took a dog out at seven o'clock in the morning, you've done quite enough for one day! Respect!

I was determined to make a jobs list, and do it today, but DS managed to make me cross in an email (cocked up a holiday booking) and I went back to bed. Might as well make it a down week now.

I love these kind of days. Just go with the flow I say if you want to sit and read do it (smile)
