Thanks everyone for their support and thoughts.
I've been absent again for two weeks.
Unfortunately my mum was hospitalised a few days after my last post and died a few days later from CV19.
We buried my father last week, which we had to stream as my brother is quarantined as he lived in the same house.
We will be burying my mum next Friday, which again we may to stream.If it's not adding up, compound it!4 -
On a more normal note, will have OP £18, or nearly 4 days interest by small weekly TT.
Apart from the above and shopping haven't been out much.
I did dust off an old keyboard in the garage, but haven't really done much, but hopefully that will change soon (sorry neighbours...).If it's not adding up, compound it!3 -
