    I would also be grumpy if theing with fangs were anywhere near me. Mind you I think the midgies in scotland have fangs :(.

    Hi CBC! Hi earthgirl!

    Woo hoo, 5 weeks :j

    Actually, since I've now done half the sessions for this week :D its 4.5 weeks :cool:

    All party attendees much appreciated :)

    And you know what, I'll use the time to the very best of my ability - no fanged bunnies slain yet, but after speaking to a rellie whose problems dwarf mine, I scooted off into the garden and pulled some weeds at the far end. Lots of weeds at the far end, actually :D When I get this place straightened up, and get my health back, I can have a really nice life here, and I intend to do exactly that, in spite of the jobs along the way being a bit boring (like filing!).

    Tomorrow is a free day, and I'll concentrate on getting at least one bag of rubbish out of the garden, plus a cat blog - the Guildhall in London has just had a !!!! Whittington bequest, so there we are :p

    Now for a canter around the boards ...

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: hysterical :D

    I've been pootling about on email and blogs till now :o updating, and not even looked at my to-do list till I came to write this post :o

    Okay, so at least I've now put the washing machine on ... and decided I'm not going to do the banking till Thursday afternoon.

    So today, the options are:
    - defang the dust bunnies.
    - prune around the blackcurrant bush, pick whatever I can reach :o
    - cook some rhubarb? That would be nice.
    - write the censored post about the London cat :rotfl:
    - go through the printout I made at the end of last week and make notes.

    Something else too would be wonderful, but I think this might be my lot!

    Hi SF :wave: Still haven't done anything to it, to be honest - but I have tamed many, many dust-bunnies-with-fangs :j, washing machine has done its thing and so has the line drying, and I've been through the printout too.

    The defanging was a bit more energetic than I thought :o so I had to rest for quite a while. But pulling some rhubarb stalks will be enough exercise for the evening :D that'll be fine. Just stewing really, eating some and hopefully freezing some, either Tilly or MWC used it in a savoury recipe. I'd like to do that :)

    Yes it would :rotfl: though I ended up not doing anything, I needed to just sit :o
    Thank you MWC, much appreciated!

    It's raining now, for the first time in ages, and my garden really needs it. 2 hours client work today, with a few phone calls thrown in here and there. I really want to do that cat blog ... health comes first, though.

    Client work done, though I've not tidied up afterwards yet.

    No phone calls from the list done :o

    No cat blog written :o

    Lots of lovely rain this morning, so what I might do is a bit of pulling-out-of-weeds. And possibly rhubarb as well :)

    One hour's work tomorrow, then week five is over :j I've nothing on Friday. Except writing.
