I love hearing birdsong in the spring, Kitty! We're hearing a little more. WTG on the garden work, housework, and baking. That cake sounds delicious!
Good luck with paperwork for your mom, L Ann. It never seems to end.

I cleaned the microwave and got that set of papers off to the bank, including drafting a short letter explaining the situation and a quick trip to the postal place. On the letter, I included the contact info for the trustee. :roll:

I decided not to jog; the time was jut too borderline tight. I'm currently at a coffee shop with dh. We'll leave here in about 15 minutes to go to the dinner party. I'll do some grading.

Later:

Kittykatt - I can't wait to join you in the garden. At the moment it's mud, snow and ice. (Really need to watch my step)
But, I did hear a little bird singing this morning :)

A coffee shop date sounds nice, helia.
That's a long list of accomplishments, LAnn
How were the radio shows, Dogged.?

Did a half hour walk with pup - mostly sniffing - so she is tired:)
2 X15 min. DC in kitchen on my high (unused shelves) I managed to get rid of 4 mugs while I cleaned out 4 shelves. Everything is a win.
Had lunch, took a mini nap.

Thanks, kitkat. WTG on getting your exercise done, and the dog's as well!

Good advice, L.Ann.

I haven't heard of either of those radio shows, helia. They sound fun! I try to be up in time for The House, which follows issues regarding our House Of Parliament, then there's a more general interest show, followed by Because News, my favourite comedy show about news, then Under The Influence, a show about the advertising industry, and at last Quirks And Quarks, our science show. Oh, and then White Coat, Black Art, which is about medical issues. After that, I'm usually ready to pry myself off of the radio, LOL.

How lovely to be seeing spring flowers, Kittykatt.

The shows were great, kitkat.

Daffodils, L.Ann! You give me hope.

Saturday
Cleaned up after dog.
Put away dry dishes
Worked on decluttering shelving unit beside bed
Worked on tidying desk
Cut down boxes for recycling
Filed receipts
Worked on budget sheet to track weekly spending
Started dusting shelving unit beside bed; ended up decluttering it
Spiffed self
Started sweeping.
For some reason, got sidetracked having another go at trying to get the oven drawer back in place. Succeeded at taking it entirely out, inspected the sides, but still can’t figure out how to get it back in.
Cooked a piece of fish for Germane, as we have run out of homemade dog food and she won’t touch her dog food now.

WTG, Paigealle. That sounds like a good day.

My list doesn't look like much, but it seems to have taken everything out of me. I did a detailed wash of the kitchen floor, now that I have taken the stove drawer all the way out I can wash the floor that it was covering.
