    Evening all and thanks two the four of you (I think the cat is out the bag)

    3 washes complete today and most of it ironed.

    I'll be here, might follow the lists for a change, it'll depend on the weather and how many other things (like gardening) I have to do.

    Need to go cut an aloe leaf as DS1 has managed to get sunburnt on the golf course.
