Blog for Monday 27th October 2025

My day began at a quarter to four this morning because that is when I just woke up - ready for a new day to live the height, width and length of it.

I had slept well, not waking up once, plus I was in bed at just after eight o'clock, so I was well rested.

Once I had dressed and had breakfast - yes, can you believe that? I am, following Mich's example of making an effort to eat breakfast even though I am happy to go without. This morning, I made toast covered with mashed avo', mixed leaves and a boiled egg - and it was delicious. A good kick-start to the day of protein!

Next, I spent time catching up with emails - something I had neglected badly. I paid utility bills - ugh! Then I finished off catching up on my Two-Year Bible Study - well, on the days I had missed while doing the study on the Book of Daniel.

I also did a brief Bible study on a Bible character that I needed some info' on - as on Wednesday at our Bible Study Group we will re-hash Tony's sermon, and I wanted the facts, verses et cetera on the one guy who was part of the cause of splitting the kingdom after king Solomon. Done.

I sat outside for a while with Felix. He is rather cute as he is following me around and joins me wherever I am. While I was busy in the study on my laptop, he sat on the desk alongside me and then retired to the armchair in there.

His eyes half-open to check on what is happening in the garden outside.

At midday while I chomped on some Kiwi fruit, I watched some TV and then read my book. I got a fair amount of knitting (the baby shawl I am busy making) done while watching TV so did not feel too guilty!

I added more liquid to the homemade soup that I created the other day as it needed it. That was my supper tonight with some toast. I absolutely love soup - well homemade soup as I know what veggies are in it and the goodness they hold.

Tomorrow, I think I will set aside as a day of art for me. I have neglected my art for too long and need to get back into doing that for me as I do so enjoy it.

This morning, I also started to get back into my routines - Quiet Time, uploading my blog, exercises and then doing my history online learning! At the moment I am learning about the abolishment of slavery in the USA.

This evening, I had a Zoom SRE meeting which concerned this last school term and the beginning of next year already!

After the meeting I took myself off to bed and was soon sound asleep.

What lesson did I learn today? It is important to have good routines for each day.

What am I grateful for today? The attention of one feline - Felix!

My saying for today is ...
