    Morning. Rather missing in action owing to trying to do more acting than reading - which also involved rather a lot of non flying deadlines which didn't qualify for reporting. And an all weekend headache which appears to have followed me into Monday morning - oh dear - it's muddled up my thought processes all weekend, so that doesn't bode well for work, or posting!

    If anyone is around and wants to join me in some very gentle fluttering, I am currently pottering around trying to do some dailies - and decluttering poached egg on toast which for some reason was suddenly the only thing I fancied for breakfast this morning!

    Pigpen I share your frustrations re finding someone to sort your guttering - my porch is falling to pieces and like you, everyone I ring to quote either sounds interested but never arrives, arrives but never quotes, or arrives and quotes a completely outrageous price - by which I mean that I do not think £1,000 for a door, before they quote for a frame, is very MSE!

    Off to declutter headache medications.

    Morning All

    Well I did the parade yesterday in my black sandals thinking my feet wouldn't be as hot and they would be okay as they are my work sandals. After I'd been walking about 10 mins I remembered that I'd stopped wearing them for work as they'd lost their cushioning and weren't very comfortable to wear for too long. By the time I got back, my feet were on fire and the balls of my feet have 2 big blisters on them - 1 of which has burst and is very sore. So I'm struggling to walk on them so could do with sitting down jobs today.

    Going to get some breakfast now and then may attempt to do some decluttering in my bedroom while I'm sitting on the bed.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    I love the frogs, I want frogs, I need to read what to do to get frogs.

    Lots of us up early, been down since 5:30 (awake since 4:55). It's ovulation day, never my favourite day of the month I must say.

    WM and DW emptied
    some emails replied to and deleted.

    Need to submit my meter readings and then I'll do another couple of emails before checking DH has woken up for work.

    Currently decluttering fruity porridge - then it's off to hang the washing out......
