Me too, it's brilliant!  I love you people And beanie, it's just horses for courses, never fear.  You have a lot of "official" input, so to speak, at the fb ... and maybe you're just really good at rotating your stocks - that's partly what's let me down, I've stored things in inaccessble places, as well as the fatigue smacking me       

I slept *so* badly last night, which is why I wasn't on here to take part in the chat - all that vacuuming I did has stressed my shoulder/back of the neck muscles and given me a headache.  Sleep was impossible, but I'm more or less awake now.

One thing I did last night was write out my to-do Feb list that ties in to the big 2022 list.  Some are little, some are huge or recurring. 

Here's the direct finance stuff, 4 items:
- French accounts (almost done)
- Sainsbo letter (not going to let them off the hook)
- money shuffle for the regular savers
- money to my niece-in-law's appeal for the hospital where she gave birth

And the indirect finance stuff, 12 items:
- check the old flash drives, they went through the washing machine   
- talk to bro re his birthday, it has a zero on the end and I need to check the specifics
- check the "wand" of LED growlights I bought
- plant some seeds!
- research pruning witchhazel, it's starting to block a *lot* of light from my garden.
- weeding, as ever.
- get ready to rush ahead with the double glazing, if they can fit me in.
- make Yorkshire puds!
- research coconut recipes (did that yesterday) and then make something!
- put the chimney sheep up - not this weekend unfortunately, the way my neck feels.
- cleaning pertinent woodwork before the double glazing man gets here   
- put the dehydrator through the dishwasher (not the leccy bit, obvs!)

And the other stuff, 5 items:
- regular walks
- text the problematic cousin before she has an op.
- email other, nice cousin, who sent friendly chat over Christmas, when I can.
- email London friend.
- research for U3A space group: UK spaceports and the UK-Australia space bridge, which sounds much more ambitious than it actually is.

Interested to hear how your lights work, KC, I pressume they are full spectrum ones?

Can't answer that off the top of my head, Chiglepig, and can't currently move, I'm digesting  but I'll let you know.

ooh, what a good line: I can't currently move, I'm digesting. Love it!

And it was luckier than I knew to write that!  At 2.30, I was going through my emails, suddenly realised I had a zoom meeting to attend, on travel within England in the 17th century.  I hadn't really been thinking anything of it, but the woman who gave it was utterly fantastic, loads of original research, she was brilliant.  I still snuck off to get a cup of tea, mind you    very happy.

Ooh, that does sound interesting KC! Where do you find these things?

It was actually part of my U3A talks!  It's this woman Sussex History Talks & Walks – Janet Pennington her talks are listed at the bottom left of that page.  The one I listened to was "Travel in the Past: the pleasures and problems of the journey".  Adjustable horseshoes for emergencies, mail delivery carts pulled by three dogs, all sorts of interesting things.

At the FB nothing ever lasts long enough to go out of date!!
Some of the donations we get are half used, massively out of date........
You have no idea

Wow, fascinating, thanks Karma!
