    They're crazy, aren't they!  Those are horrendous examples, Hazelnutty!  In the end, I couldn't face doing it yesterday, I just did the 2nd scan I needed, so its all ready to do now.  I also delayed putting the dishwasher on till just now :) and like that, today is about tidying up loose ends - fetch and pay for the sprouter, bag the garden rubbish (neighbour's green bin has disappeared from my front yard, I may have to put it in the ordinary stuff :( though I *did* do a good job of cutting back the other neighbour's overhanging ivy outside my back door.  That felt good.  And if I can, I'll do the re-registering thing this afternoon.  I'd like to - and I think it may be too hot to be outside anyway.  Clearing the kitchen table of flowerpots would be good too - I could use it for craft stuff then.  Yeah, finishing things off, thats me!

    I collected the 3 tier, £5 sprouter from one of my regular charity shops today, all beautifully distanced, and it also gave me a proper walk.  Leapt into the shower and washed my hair immediately I got back, as visiting teh shop meant I ventured inside another building for the first time since 19th March.  Weird.  It was empty, all but, so not exactly dangerous.  What was more dangerous to me was that I didn't check I'd switched the boiler on, so I washed my hair and had (half a) shower in cold water :D

    The other day, someone down the line turned the hose on to water plants (serves me right for sleeping in late) - I had no pressure & cold water to rinse the conditioner out!!!

    That's what I assumed. I had no idea it involved kit! I thought a bit of paper towel on a plate was the way to go!

    I presume it is something like this. My mum bought one but never actually used it as far as I could tell. :D Have to say I'm not really much of a fan of sprouted lentils / mung beans etc! :neutral:
