Yesterday afternoon I wrote a blog post and Julia called me through to have a cup of tea. I saved the text and went off with good intentions. Later I returned to the computer, finished the shopping order, wrote more of my piece on cheese in WW2 and then went to have my evening meal, which I confusingly call “tea”. That turned into watching TV and chatting and suddenly it was past midnight. I had had a pleasant and relaxing day, but I had forgotten to add photos and publish.

Intentions – 10/10.

Results – 0/10.

Verdict – could do better.

It’s not the first time I’ve heard those words.

I’m now going to admit something and apologise – I’m behind with my reading of posts and I may be unable to catch up. Sorry to everyone I normally visit, but it could be some time yet.

Yesterday’s post was a reference to 79 posts in 80 days. This is now 80 in 81, but I am seriously hoping to make it 81/81 with another post today. However, that was also yesterday’s plan, so we will have to see what happens.

Laziness expands to fill the available space, as we so often see. Speaking as a poet, “sloth” may have fitted better there, but it always strikes me as a bit of a slander on a harmless creature that never wanted to be known for its speed and industry anyway.

But back to the plan, it’s definitely a day for hard work and catching up, though just saying it makes me feel tired. I will add more spring photos as an antidote.

Sorry to all you sloths out there – the title just came to me and it was too good to waste.
