    Well, mousie is still being unco-operative, so ....... as a start to flying around the living room I have changed the cloth on the living room and brought down the PC from upstairs .......... 'cause I really want some flying support whilst I'm trying to get stuff done.

    I have finished for today. Instead of a bin bag I filled a greenbox with paper for recycling. The plants didn't get watered but they are now too far away, behind the curtains, for me to reach.

    toots, I hope you don't send that snow down here. :D


    Lady-L Thank you for your lovely post. You made me smile. And everything you say makes so much sense. Hugs and prayers.
