A burst of productivity

dolorosa_12Somehow I've managed to get all the chores and tasks I wanted done by lunchtime on Saturday, leaving the rest of the weekend free, free, free. I spent the morning at the market, then weeded the garden, cleaned all the gutters on the roof, cleaned the bathroom, and mopped the floors after Matthias had vacuumed. I then wrote a quick blog post on my reviews blog, which looked at the two books by journalists who exposed Harvey Weinstein's decades of abusive behaviour towards women — Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow, and She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. You can read the review here. Obviously this one has a content warning for discussion of sexual abuse. As always with my reviews posted elsewhere, I'm happy to discuss their content either on the original review post, or over here on Dreamwidth.
I've spent the afternoon doing a very long, slow yoga session, the kind where you hold poses for a long time, with an emphasis on flexibility. The rest of the evening will be spent cooking, and then eating, a three-course meal (which in all honesty is an excuse to drink some of the nice wine that we've had in our house for ages). It's windy and miserable outside, and set to get colder, but I have filled the house with flowers, candles, light, warmth, and, hopefully, delicious cooking, making a cozy nest to guard against the last gasps of winter.
Tomorrownotasapleasure and her husband will be visiting in the afternoon, mainly to collect some garden chairs which we no longer need, and Matthias and I may possibly head into town for a book fair, but that will depend on whether we can bear the thought of leaving the house. In other words, things should be fairly calm and quiet.
What have you all been up to?
