Hello all! Thank you for the good wishes
it turned out I couldn't log on to her interwebulator after
all - the security level kind of bamboozled me, and I wasn't in the mood
to faff about with it. I had enough space to google after effects of
extraction, yuck, and that was all I needed. The tv was a win, though
that went well. And we had a lovely long walk on the first day, her
town is even greener than mine, it was great. Since I got back, I've been tidying and cleaning and clearing like there's no tomorrow - the fencer is finally arriving on Tuesday! Of course, the Met Office tells me that's the worst day of teh week for my town, so, maybe not ... we'll see.Now, I need to get my act together, whether or not the fencer manages to get here. But I have to catch up on here first, thats crucial

Thanks madvix - he said he'd send me a confirming email today, as I had to send him an email after the weekend. We'll see. Nothing yet, but its very early!Email from U3A - a zoom meeting - on Wednesday morning! The minute life opens up at all, there's so much to juggle! But I've no idea what to do today ... well, I do - tidying everything, inside and in the garden, that the fencer might need to approach. Onwards and upwards2023: the year I get to buy a car3

Welcome back KC & good news about the fencer!

(24 OCT 2016)(With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)Original End Date - Sept 2041 *** New projection - Jun 2040 (reduced by 1 years & 3 month)3
