    I'm in again; thanks, FCC.

    Doing my best with the Purple List; we're hoping to do some in the garden at the weekend, as I'm not safe to try and do it without Mr LW here.

    Not a very auspicious start though, I had to lie down after Mr LW left for work, and I fell asleep - til 11 o'clock!:eek:

    Mr LW has also booked us a holiday, so I have until June to get well enough to travel to Belgium.:o

    I think the next job is to try and eat a little lunch, then see what I can do regarding dusting the lounge.

    OK, so that is done. Purple candle is flickering away and scenting the room. Wind is howling and whisteling outside and after getting a face full of fire ashes I don't fancy going out again.

    Having a chill and crochet first then books later on.

    Thanks to everyone at FCC for the lists.

    Monday's list is done. I have purple pants on. My HHG consisted of running after the plastic recycling and weighting down the cover for the bikes. It is blowing a gale.

    Hugs and spoons for all.
