JEDI July: Day 10 - The one with Miss Potter

I'm going to try and get this done now, as Andy and Beth are coming over this evening for a film night and I don't think my body clock will thank me for yet another late finish. Since the start of May I have been keeping a record of when I wake up and also when I go to bed, and at the moment it doesn't make for pretty reading if you consider yourself a morning person - something which I can sadly no longer claim to be.

Today has been perhaps the quietest of any JEDI day thus far. I got up around 10ish and spent the morning watching telly and surfing the internet. Lydia and I were going to sit outside but the sunny morning soon gave way to cloudier conditions and rain looked likely, so we elected to remain indoors. A rather nasty surprise was finding out that Tesco had taken the first £70 car insurance installment out of my bank account when I had been under the impression that this wouldn't happen until next month. This somewhat put a plug on my plans to splash out on a lightweight cricket bat for the girls to use at the family picnic.

Mum arrived home baring chips for lunch which were very much enjoyed. I then relaxed for a few hours (as if it were necessary in this leisurely lifestyle) before driving down to Hythe to visit Nanny. Arthur was there doing the crossword when I arrived so Nanny and I dug some tasty food out of the ever stocked-up cupboard and chatted in the lounge for about an hour, discussing last week's wedding and the Saints takeover amongst other things. Arthur then joined us and the two began to reminisce about their childhoods and what life was like in the local area back in the 1930s. This went on for around three quarters of an hour and, though in the most part interesting, by 6.30 it was definitely time for me to make a move.

I now look forward to this evening's films, with Andy and Beth already overdue. I think we are watching Miss Potter and Jimmy Neutron?

I can't believe we are in double figures already - 10 down, 21 to go. It's been an interesting project thus far and I have really enjoyed reading everyone else's blogs, as well as authoring my own. Long may it continue.

There goes the door bell! See you tomorrow chaps!
