    Piq my belly dancing outfit comprises of vest t-shirt and short leggings today due to blinking overheating again today. Sadly the only belly dancing I managed was in my head, body just will not cooperate. I'm definitely behaving like a "shreddies knitting Granny" at the moment. Maybe I should volunteer to make the fisherman sweaters instead.

    No dishwasher in my house, just me, a bowl, sponge, liquid and water, as I'm sure you all gathered from last week's grump.

    Good luck with work tomorrow NL and I can assure you I am recoiling at the horror for you. Housekeeper's response to BD made me giggle, so thanks for that
