or possibly this!
Waht do you reckon?

Even more easily led – and what’s more I don’t believe a word of it!
Though come to think of it I have sometimes stayed awake reading.
I learned something last week!
Well I’m not even going to bother mentioning how long it was since I last blogged as it’s getting boring!
Something I learned last week is that …[fanfare]…
housework takes time!
Yes folks -that’s my piece of profound thought for the month!
It’s interesting – I began to realise that while I sometime struggle to keep my flat as clean and tidy as I would like ( It’s not a pigsty honestly – just not as good as I would like often!), underneath I’ve been getting angry with myself for the vacuuming or washing up not having been done or whatever, without actually having given myself time to do it in! Often I’m getting frustrated for not having done x when I spent the time doing y, but if I had done y, I would have been frustrated for not having done x!
So one of the things I’ve been trying to do is be more accepting and realistic of what I can do and the time it takes and to stop believing deep down that I should have completed 7 different tasks in the time it takes to do one of them!
Hmm – maybe that’s something I should consciously adopt as an attitude for Lent – or do you think it’s too self-centred?
The immediate result of this realisation was that I “made time” to take my car to the car wash – something that was badly needed and that I was getting annoyed with myself for not doing, but hadn’t actually allocated time for! Road safely in Greater Manchester must have improved at night, now that the light from my headlights can actually be seen rather than being blacked out with grime!
