    oh my

    I have

    damp in the bottom part of the kitchen aka the utility

    in the top part of my kitchen I have

    a

    dishwasher:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    I also have a cupboard which is narrow - 1 can/jar deep - no more out of date stuff hiding in the back...

    I have a kitchen door
    and a sink

    and workmen with whom I am very very impressed as they are making excellent progress

    and a puking DS

    who puked in the sink - so clearing that (without joining in) was challenging...

    and I have sterilising fluid as he was so close to the toothbrushes

    tis a bug - excellent timing - NOT

    I suspect that the dishwasher was the primary reason for the kitchen refurb :)

    Hmmm, I think I like this design.



    Hiya, all - sorry I've been otherwise engaged for a while.



    Have had my first date, have someone else to meet tomorrow evening, a few other possibilities in the coming weeks and a load of gigs coming up.


    So every other job needs to be;

    'Run through the setlist again'


    Hope everybody's well!

    I am indeed!

    99% of it all due to the music, too. And that all started when KH1 finally got caught by the CSA.

    Karma's a bi.tch sometimes :cool: :D

    Katiecat big hugs.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Wash bedding
    Clear hotspot
    Clear floor
    Hoover
    Make big batch lovely lentil soup
    Yoga
    Study approx 2 hours
