High achiever

I have:

 cleaned the juicer

emptied the dishwasher

cleaned the coffee machine

thawed out the bird bath

changed the sheets

put on a wash

made some toast

emptied the wastepaper basket

folded the laundry

defrosted some mince pies

made some bread

emptied the compost bin

swept the floor

emptied the recycling bin

emailed a bloggy friend

washed my hair

selected some beachcombing photos

written this post.

Marvellous what you can achieve

when you have a tax return to do.

Alternatively

you can put on your Dolly Parton wig

and Paddington Bear's boots

and stride purposefully into the weekend.

Meh

Drifting through January in a wispy sort of way.

Somewhat like this cloud.

Waiting for a shaft of light to illuminate

 a big (or even a medium-sized) idea.

Trying not to get too greyed out.

(This picture is in unedited glorious Technicolor.)

Trucking on like these purposeful

shingle shifters.

Their work is never done.

The tides rearrange the banks with untiring dedication.

I'm getting some new glasses.

Maybe that will help to refocus things.

How is January looking from where you are standing?

Glad

How felicitous to have been born Gladys

and then to have married a Gladwish.
