    Morning all

    Continuing getting rid of stuff today:

    2 items on the doorstep for freecyclers to collect
    Taking stuff to the dump for recycling
    Bras ready to go to the bra bank at school

    Woody is not himself this morning. Hoping he has just eaten something wild or been fighting. Neighbour opposite had to have her mog put to sleep on Saturday due to sudden kidney failure, they are hoping he has not got at something toxic like antifreeze.

    Mudders hugs for you and stripes

    Hope everybody who is feeling ill gets better soon.

    Filthy day here, so will concentrate on indoor stuff and hope to get out later on to avoid cabin fever! Everything seems to take longer than planned, but I need to get on, so objectives for the day are to get the clothes sorted out and out away, and the curtain poles and curtains up.

    Back soon for a break I expect :o
