tús maith leath na hoibre – a good start is half the battle

Today I spoke to one person.  At about half three a man came in a vintage car.  I was actually really busy but the prospect of contact with another human being drew me out into the wind. He was leaving back a grass strimmer, he told me so and then just got on with it and so did I.

I’m preparing for the papermaking workshop tomorrow.  I have no idea if anyone is booked on it but I’m ready even if nobody turns up;  I’ve made a mould and deckle out of a frame I found using a rusty saw, a red biro, a staple gun and some material for making hats.  I’ve brushed off 100 couching cloths, rinsed the boiled reeds, and collected all the containers I could find, moved the tables and cut down some long grass to boil tomorrow.

Did I mention I also applied for an opportunity in Geneva, made a loaf of soda bread, stewed apples and did a load of washing.  I’ve just finished sweeping and mopping and it’s just turning 6pm.  Might take a wee run out on the bike cos there’s a few hours before it gets dark. 

Yesterday I did absolutely nothing because I was contorted with anxiety.
