    This morning I have decluttered 2 mugs of tea whilst designing my castle (very simple - consists of A4 card walls with cut-outs for the battlements and a slightly taller, narrower pair of walls with drawbridge for the main entrance, short lengths of pipe insulation for the towers, all fixed together with sticky hook and loop pads, and a separate cardboard cube for the keep!) and am ready to print off the walls and try building it. It's for adults to look at as part of a display, not for children to play with, so doesn't need to be mega-strong.

    Please, Ionafan, the castle sounds so fabulous - may we have a photo?

    My back is hurting like merry pop (it woke me up during the night grr), and the Ibuprofen doesn't kick in until the second dose of the day so I'm not getting a lot of flying done here. Having eaten frogs by using up all the flour making pastry for the freezer and finished the ironing, I'm going to ignore the fluff and general grot. I just can't handle the thought of hauling the Dy$on up and down the stairs.
    Better is good enough.
