Travelling On

Can the plug not go through the window, it will cut down on the cold air coming in.

Your fencer might use rechargeable battery drills. The workmen we have used recently have them as it saves on trailing wires getting in their way.

It's logical, isn't it!  But with the layout of the doors/windows/plugs, that's the plug that's most isolated.  I'll be upstairs, with two doors between me and the open back door, I'll have my convector on, not the central heating, I'll be cosy, thank you

Also logical - but this is the guy who did the picket fence at the front a few months ago, and this is the system he used.  I wish he *did* use rechargeable - it's certainly not the main bit of his work, it would be worth doing.  I might ask if he has one ... his wife is shielding, he knows what I'm on about.  Thank you

Astonishingly, my to-do list is nearly done though the wet washing is still in the machine and the books still haven't been picked up - can't do anything about the latter, of course!  Panicking a bit this morning, as I'd left it till today to sellotape the address label on.  The address bit didn't print, and I spent an *hour* working on it.  So I wrote it all out - couldn't do the bar code, of course, but there's a numerical code underneath that, and I wrote that.  

As well as those two tasks, I phoned my friend in Margate, phoned my sister, sent the regular money to the cheque account, took my cards down (there's a few addresses I need to copy), put the books that webuybooks didn't want into the charity shop bag.

So now, get the sheet out of the washing machine, tidy up downstairs as much as I can, take those addresses from the cards and put the ones I want to scan onto the desk, and lastly set up the payments for the principality regular saver for the next few months.  And listen to the scruffy fair haired one at 8pm.

Hope all goes well.

Thanks beanie the bitty admin things aren't done, but they'll be quick.  I was pretty distracted by waiting for the collection from webuybooks - it arrived at just after 6, and got a bit confused, because my printer hadn't worked, and I'd written out all the info by hand.  To be honest, I wish I hadn't bothered, I wish I'd just kept the books stacked in my office.  I feel like I got way too close to the guy doing the collecting, and I had the classic thing on my street that the wind blows into my house as soon as I open the door, if it's blowing at all.  I'm not happy, but I'm fairly sure I'm being paranoid   such is life.  Can't concentrate now either, mind you, because I'm waiting for the scruffy fair haired one.  

Pulling myself back from that, I tidied up the diy stuff on the patio at the back, as the fencer will be storing stuff there tomorrow.

Right, got to get myself together, and pull myself out of my funk.  
- fencers are delivering the posts for all the work, to be started tomorrow.
- phoned sister re walks, which didn't help.
- been tidying, clearing the kitchen surfaces
- delaying calling partner down in the city by the sea, I don't have the phone energy to initiate that.
- stupid piece of tidying: the sack of flour has been abandoned on the spare bed for approx one (1) million years.  It's still useable, I'm pretty sure, but I need to get it into the bottles that are currently taking up the kitchen table, all nicely dishwashered.

Flour into bottles sounds erm... tricky!

I know, that's why it keeps on not getting done    I'm not really at the top of my game today, so I'm playing with keyrings instead - my excuse is that I had to change the front door lock a few months ago, so a general update of where and what of the keys, is in order.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
