Less Not More.

 5 days into a new year already and not a great deal to show for it.


 I did complete this new jigsaw in about a week after Christmas. A rectangular shape is quite unusual.
 My eyes are okay. I am still putting drops in 3 times a day. I am finding the constant changing of reading glasses and dark glasses a trial - not used to it. My previous glasses which I put on in the morning and took off at night did everything for me. I didn't appreciate how convenient they were. Maybe when I go back to my optician we can work out something more convenient for me.


 The Billington plums are ready and the tree is loaded. The Grandsons helped pick some by climbing the tree.
 R has pickled 2 large jars ( In vodka )
 
 My friend Jan gave me this beautiful wool. She got it on her recent travels in Europe.100% merino and so so soft.
 I've started knitting it but will need to find  similar to have enough for a  simple scarf I have started knitting.

I have decided to try and do less....of some things. Record keeping. I didn't buy a diary to write up each night for this year.(I have previously done that for years and years )
 I have plenty of other lists and records. Books Read. Plants planted.  Sewing projects work notes.
 And of course the occasional blog post.

Jigsaws seem to have been a theme since Christmas. A great way to while away the downtime. Yours is a stunning photo. Yum. Those plums look good. What will you do with the rest? Keeping life simple is a great idea and I do hope you can sort out your glasses. I know I just put mine on in the morning and take them off when I go to bed.
