    I've done the list (living room - got a kitchen diner) and I've done the kitchen and bathroom too. Some days you can just get on and I've got shopping being delivered tomorrow and I find it hard to do stuff when I'm waiting for a delivery.

    One load of washing done and draped round indoors because we've got sunshine and blustery showers. Can't be bothered to run in and out fetching it in and putting it back out.

    Cleaned outside kitchen windows after a bird decorated them. Reckon it was a golden eagle by the size of the poo!
