Yawns ... right, I have 3 hours of paid work, and other than that the focus *has* to be on packing to go away. Washing machine is on for the last time, and now I'm going to shut up about all this, and actually *do* some stuff2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Morning! Right, I did a bit more than I thought yesterday, happy bunny about that - setting up bloggy stuff, its live, but I'm going to use a new theme before I start promoting it. Got to get the second one going now, and choose a pic to replace the generic one that's there.
I wrote my to-do list last night, and realised that lots of the stuff wouldn't take long, so here's the current state of play:
[STRIKE]- holiday documents to kindle[/STRIKE]
done!
[STRIKE]- a very last washing machine load [/STRIKE]
not only done but drying on the line :j
[STRIKE]- pay French managing agent[/STRIKE]
done - online these days, so instant :j
[STRIKE]- pay HMRC - due at the end of the month[/STRIKE]
also done
[STRIKE]- book blood tests for routine thingy.[/STRIKE]
done
[STRIKE]- argh, still haven't written the follow up to complaint reply, I obviously hate it.
drafted - just letting it sit for a little bit before I go back and print it.[/STRIKE]
printed, got the stamp ready, just got the envelope to go
- PACK
partly done
- find a nicer duvet than the scrappy one I've got on my bed right now.
[STRIKE]- harvest rhubarb, cook briefly, and freeze[/STRIKE]
picked - only 250g in the end, it doesn't want to come out of the groundso it now soaking in one third of the amount of sugar, as before :j
- harvest some more blackcurrants (and get the ants off them before I wash and freeze them!).
only this one to go :j2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Wishing you a wonderful holiday, Karmacat
I wish my Mum were still here and I could share some relaxing and fun times with her in such a delightful part of the world. Make the most of every opportunity to make happy memories.
Wishing you sunny days without the searing heat so that you return home energised and raring to go with your many plans:beer:.0 -
