Okay, Level 2 here we go!

This month has continuing homeschool and lockdown and, probably, cold and wet weather – so it’s basically an extension of January, which was already 397462 days long.

Excellent.

Like last month I have my Book Challenge and Alphabet Movie Challenge ongoing, so the first mini targets for Level 2 are going to be to read books for prompts 3 & 4, and watch films C & D.

(Prompt 3 is ‘A Book With Royalty In The Title’ and Prompt 4 is ‘A Book That Was Recommended To You’ – these are my choices!)

I think this month is going to have a house-based aim – I want to sort out the kitchen. Properly.

A good deep clean, and actually go through the cupboards/drawers and sort them out. Throw away things lurking at the back of the cupboards months out of date, clear out stuff I never use or is falling apart, that sort of thing.

I use the kitchen every day (obviously) and it needs a bit of TLC.

It also needs some heating but that’s a whole other kettle of fish, that I can’t fix with a bottle of disinfectant and a cloth. (The previous house owner had a new kitchen installed, designed to have underfloor heating… but then didn’t actually put the underfloor heating in. So it is an external extension with three outside walls, a flat roof, a slate-tile-on-concrete floor and NO SOURCE OF HEATING. Which is lovely and cool in summer, and breath-mistingly chilly in winter. And that was before the snow made the roof leak. Sigh.)

Hopefully, by giving myself a month and breaking the Big Job down into lots of Little Jobs that I can do each day, I can get the kitchen a bit more organised and feeling fresher.

And if Jet could stop coming in from soggy walks and shaking muddy water all over the door and cupboards before I have a chance to throw a towel on her every day, that would help massively.

(Yeah, that’s not going to happen. It’s a good job she is cute.)
