    Morning all

    Tidied around
    Cleared landing
    Replied to emails

    Just going to do an exercise dvd - really don't feel like it but know I'll be glad afterwards and then a shower (never got mine this morning as I needed to drop DH at the station and my morning schedule does not have time for any deviations)

    I love this Japanese puzzle if anybody feels like testing their logic.
