After a slow start and three zoom meetings later I feel a bit unmotivated today. My gardening gloves are wet and the mulch is sodden after last nights rain. Two barrow loads felt like a huge effort.

The fire for the hot tub did not want to light, it took me three goes to get it roaring. And I feel uninspired by the dreary contents of the fridge and vegetable box, nothing in the garden yet.

Making a cup of tea in my favourite cup, which needed and extra good cleanse after being packed away for two years, has helped. Stir dry usually works out when I can’t think of anything else.
