    It's gross, isn't it!  I feel quite bad admitting it, but I understand how it came about, I think, between geography and personal conditions.  The plan can't change geography, but it will change the conditions - less clutter in there, and more regular cleaning.

    Aww, thank you!  Yep, I do have a tendency to overdo and need rest, don't I, oops.  And I'm on such a domestic binge nowadays - though, once again, its really improving my standard of living in the house.  There are still rooms I haven't touched, but this is going well.

     Looking forward to photos of your feline visitor!
    Absolutely!  I've only seen a few, and met him just the once, but he's really lovely.

    You have been making huge progress lately and the joy it’s giving you really comes across in your posts - our living environment has such an effect on our state of mind (or should I say, it certainly does on mine!).

    Thank you 🌈 that's so kind!  And yes, living environment has a huge effect on me - clean, warm, comfortable, that level of environment is wonderful to be able to have.

    Morning Cheery 🌞 thanks for that!  I'm sort of glad that you have issues with mould too, sorry 🤣 and vinegar's a good tip for leather and textiles, I like it.  

    I confess, I'm quite tired this morning; I'd like to get rid of that mould on the underside of the shelves, plus prepare for the big shopping delivery this afternoon, and that's it, really.  Illness still rife in the family, so nothing doing there, and I need my physical energy for these jobs, so no going out to meet people either.  So until the delivery arrives, it might be mooching about doing genealogy, editing what I've already written.

    I won't, I promise!  I did clean the shelves - in the back garden, just soap for now, I'll give a light coating of bleach another day.  Had to bang one of them with a hammer, it was really set in there :( a *lot* of mould spore floated free, I think - so another coat of bleach in the cupboard itself as well :(  But I'm very, very pleased to have done it  B)

    Shopping arrived, and frozen, chilled and tinned are all cleaned, and sat on the surfaces drying.  Only one pack of feta!  I ordered 8!  If I die of malnutrition, you'll know why 🤣🤣🤣  Stopped just before 4pm, a long break now or maybe nothing else at all, it's still holiday season 😀
