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 crucial2023: the year I get to buy a car5 -

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!
Our local weather says it is sunny today (and glorious at that!) and then all kinds of rain until next Tuesday! I've no clue where my rainboots are so must have a dig around for those so I can venture out for a walk or two.

(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)New projection - 14 YEARS 7 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS (reduced by 17 mths)Psst...I may have started a diary!3
