Weekend catchup

mtbcOur weekends typically involve a Saturday of errands, today's were car-based: returns and purchases at IKEA, deposits and withdrawals at the container we still rent (plus first carrying stuff down to the car), also stops at Asda, Matthew's, Primark, Boots. We came away from Asda with plenty of must-sell-today discount fish and meat, R. cooked us some for our evening meal. The stop at Matthew's was because we wanted some Southeast Asian rice, they have the more Eastern products; our local Foodasia has plenty of other rice but is rather more South Asian. Basically, our neighborhood is much more South Asian, the East Asian stuff is over on the other side of the city. Among all this, we were lucky with the soccer: we passed near a stadium but not when everybody was entering or leaving.
Our Sunday can be varied: we may go out somewhere more pleasant, like the beach (cold though they are here) or the park, where L. our dog can run around. I may have something else going on that day, like seeing family in Dundee. Tomorrow, I hope is like last weekend: I will stay home and catch up on all manner of non-work things. Though, some Sundays when I'm home, I am just tired and don't do much. I plan to at least get to open and file pending mail, file this year's FBAR with FinCEN, etc. That doesn't sound like much but, beyond work and necessary chores, it seems that it's difficult for me to have the energy to do much else. R. is very understanding of how we both have difficulty making time to get done all we feel we should or want. Like that stuff in the container, we need to do a proper sorting: we won't soon plausibly afford to live anywhere we can store it all.
