I'm in of sorts, thanks Natty - and thank you Dusty for least week's lists.
I've demolished half of a very awkward frog this afternoon: it was very hard to do. All in all, not an easy day.
The house is still tidy and quite clean, but I have plenty of paperwork, emails and phonecalls to do tomorrow, and if it's still dry I'll do an hour in the garden. I missed most of the sunshine today0 -
