Normality with added 'oddness'

I'm not even sure that 'oddness' is a word but it sums up today perfectly as periods of complete normality were interspersed with moments of 'oddness'.  Yesterday we replaced the tv in the dining room (and those are words I never thought I would hear myself say) with a slightly larger one which is much better as I can see the questions when watching Ash's beloved 'Pointless' but which didn't quite fit underneath the shelf.  I didn't say anything but Ash pointed it out saying he could sort it and, this morning, sort it he did.  The shelf has been raised and the tv now fits perfectly.  Some of you may wonder why I mention this as it seems so trivial but others will realise that it was a major undertaking even if, as we know, he would once have done that job without even thinking about it.  So that was a good start to the day.  Then this afternoon I went over to see a friend.  I was away for approximately 30 mins and came home to find Ash had gone out for a walk with the dog and locked me out of the house.  Luckily I had somewhere to sit so I waited patiently for him to get home and let me back in (a moment of 'oddness').  We were back on track with gardening where we cleared yet another neglected area of wilderness working together and feeling like a team again but then, later, when I sat down to type this post he came in to ask me if I was watching the news.  He switched the tv on and we sat down together.  Five minutes later I found myself sitting on my own when he moved to the other end of the house to sit at his computer, I waited to see if he came back and, when he didn't, turned the tv off and returned to what I was doing when interrupted  (another moment of oddness).  So a day of not quite knowing what was going to happen next but definitely knowing not to relax and think that life is routine.  At least I'm not bored.
