    The kittens have declutter 2 sausage rolls.. *giggle*

    The recycling has been collected
    OH emptied and reloaded the DW
    I emptied and reloaded the TD and picked up the windfall manky apples from next doors tree and chucked them in my compost bin.

    I Must go sort the garden toys at some point and I need to have a major rejig in the shed.. and I need to rejoin freecycle (under my assumed identity :p) So that I can rehome the HUUUUUUUUUUGE paddling pool, and industrial steam cleaner which I don't know whether it works or not and probably a bunch of other useless stuff I may find in there..

    I then need a quote for new kitchen windows, measure up and quote for carpet/lino for the hallway as it is FREEEEEEZING and blows a gale through the boards inthe winter and also chase the cheque for the fire damage.. again!

    Hmm.. may do a bit of that now..

    For Valli,




    She paused and sighed

    those feelings came

    sweeping over, like a sudden rush of air.

    Turning to go back inside, her heart swelled

    as it does when in love or loved.

    Caught by the moment she turned and saw

    the scene, a snapshot of perfect

    as her washing danced in the breeze

    Valli smiled,

    her pegs matched.
