- washed up

Hex, is George a cat? (Apologises profusely to LO just in case he's your DS!). But - if he is a cat George sounds like a ginger one (my favourite, but don't tell my black and white one!!).Lamewolf, you are very quiet. Is everything OK?
I need to press on - I ought to remove the nose-art from the back door and patio door, so.....
HHC starting at 13:00:eek:

I'm being a bit slow today, mostly just managing to regain the ground I won yesterday after DH's night time and morning routines :rotfl: Have completed a couple of articles and got some work done too though, so I suppose it's a helpful indicator of how I'm going to cope with the housework when I go back to work. The bedroom's still a no-go zone, but the lounge and kitchen are looking pretty sparkling so overall I'm chuffed0

Oooh, HHC now? I'm in!0

Thanks for putting my mind at rest, LameWolf. It sounds like you're going to be busy for the next few weeks with all your canine visitors.
My book has just been delivered and the dog theme continues: "HTML Dog", all about building web pages. It has a lovely portrait of a young boxer on the front, which I think you'd like even if the subject matter is not for you! It's something for me to get stuck into and exercise my brain creatively. The HTML Dog website is very good, but I needed the book next to the computer while I do the work, rather than flicking between webpages!
there I go, procrastinating again. Must get on with the work...0 -
Lamewolf - snap with my George. Joyce Grenfell inspired.
HHC at 13.45, want to do the top halls next'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Thanks for joining me Amyloofoo; how did you get on?:o
I Dys0ned the hall, lounge and kitchen, (just what I could get to without moving furniture);) emptied the Dys0n and all the room bins into the kitchen bin ready for the black bag to be tied up (bin day tomorrow, a day late due to the BH), and cleaned the nose art off the inside and outside of the back door and the patio door and adjoining full-length window. Also refilled the Breakfast Tea and Earl Grey jars, which were both empty, and did a scout round for anything else to go in the recycling sack.
Not bad going, for me!:D
ETA: Ionafan the book sounds very interesting; I'm married to a computer techie, but he doesn't do web stuff, he's an Oracle DBA.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
