    Very successful day out yesterday, but I am really struggling to wind up the elastic this morning.
    However I need to -
    Empty my bag
    Find the new bus timetables
    Bring the recycling box and bag back in and recycle the old ones
    Put the two birthday cards I got with my birthday and address books - better idea - write the cards then put address book away
