            yuk yuk yuk
 neice is coming later to collect stuff for her car boot (she is trying to save hard to study for a masters) and I remember a file thing for filing wood in the shed which exH left and I don't want sio I went to pick it up.
 Well my lovely recently cleaned shed smelled FOUL.
 I looked down at DS's bike and he has ridden through a dog turd and it has mashed into the tyre and dried on
 So I carried bike over drain and sluiced it with water. No joy (I don't have a hose though) - now bike is balanced over bowl of hot water in the hope it soaks off.
 If I left it he would ride down my path and no doubt it would drop off all over my path and end up in the house.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson Janice 1964-2016 Janice 1964-2016

 Just one lot of washing (towels) today on the line drying now, not much else to report. Might do the bathroom later on or at least wash the bathmat and shower curtain later on to put out tomorrow. Also will mop the bathroom floor first thing in the morning so it dried while I am at work and I can smile when I get in from work as it is done!
 At least this will make me smile as I wil forget about it when I am at work and come home to a job well done! God I am p****ed off at the moment, wish this moodiness would pass. 2 weeks of this now, feeling apart, low and so on. I am sick of hearing myself think this now. The flying has helped as usual to distract my mind. Better get on and do some then and stop dwelling on things so much.
 Well done Mudders on completing your assigment!
