    Thanks DIA, unfortunately a lot of wires were not fitted to start with, some were connected to the wrong thing. It's an uphill struggle, but one I think is worth it.

    Bedroom has been rearranged, looking at different bed frames as the silly middle legs on it have broken. We can buy some 2x4 wood as a fix, but the bed is too chunky for the room. 

    TomBo sorted some things out for charity. 

    Got my new glasses, went for a nice drive afterwards to blow the cobwebs out my car. TomBo approves of the new look.

    Having roast pork, roast spuds and veg for tea, melon for pudding and yoghut for supper.

    TomBo has his jab in the morning.

    Spent £27 in A1DI, but that included a full-size incinerator.

    Nearly spat my drink out! The aisle of wonder strikes again!

    They got all their gardening things in, so if you need anything pop along Atrixa!

    The incinerator is the size of the old black dustbins, a lot of places are selling very small ones. We are going to double it up as a fire pit. If only I could find a nice bistro set, got a few months before it becomes more urgent.

    Had to SW, not had outside private space since moving up here and I missed sitting outside in the evenings ☺️

    I've been in the garden today, very bright but not that warm. My strawberries are planted.

    I do need to do some tidying and organising outside. I'm thinking a tool shed / store would come in handy as I've pots, tools, stakes all over the place.

    Having pork stew tonight, yoghurt for pudding.

    DIA you'll be gardening yourself soon!

    It's a lovely blue sky today, slightly warmer than it has been but still a bit fresh.

    TomBo isn't feeling very well today and went back to bed this morning, he's got a bit more colour since getting up. 
    My pain levels are through the roof and I'm just picking the easy stuff to clear. Soon be time to switch everything off.

    Moved a vase to the hall as it matches the new colour, I will pick up some fake flowers for it. I'm considering lily's as I can't have real ones at home. It's also tempting to get a stand to raise the vase up, but I can think about that after I sort the flowers out.

    I've moved a bit of money to savings. Focusing on the communal repairs and car pots for the rest of this month.

    Having fish fingers and waffles for tea, yoghurt for pudding.
