May has come around very fast... a little too fast for my liking, but then again they do say time flies when you're having fun, which 2013 certainly has been so far.

Day 15 and 16 of #wpad... The symbol of procrastination. Not that I procrastinate ever. Finished work at 4.30pm, did a decent bit of yoga til 5.30, cleaned the flat til just after 6, made dinner with John (stir fry with Sweet Mandarin Chilli Sauce SO SCRUMMY) then finished writing this by 7pm.

I've made my peace with the To Do list. I accept that it's never-ending. That I'll never truly complete it. Maybe I'll get close... but then a new request, idea or task will always appear. That there's plenty of inconsequential useless things on there that for some reason need to be done. It's ok because on any given work day there's always one big important task that I really want to do...

The prompt for Day 6 of Picture A Day is 'Social Media Picture'. Not sure if it's interesting to anyone but me... but here are the pics I've picked to be my avatars online (and a few other images)...
Day 5 of Michelle's Picture A Day Challenge at Write So Fluid... What's in my mug?
