I'm up, made my bed, supped my brew and eaten toast.
NN has had a trailer load of logs delivered / dropped in their front garden - hence the hydraulic noises etc. This also explains the recent DIY noises from next door. I thought they were coming through once or twice 🙄 A wood burner hmmm. Does this mean that the party wall/ chimney breast will be warmed too? Every little helps 😉
To Do Today

Morning all. My list keeps getting added to, with the added pressure of the fact that I'm possibly going away next week - though I won't know for sure until Sunday. I shall be leaving Rosie and DH to look after each other, so everything needs to be clean, tidy and organised before I go. I shall write a list of Flying instructions for DH, but tbh I don't have a lot of confidence in his ability to follow them all the time...
Today I must do as an absolute minimum (in no particular order)
- WMx1 and TD
- frogx1
- finish off 3 cakes (fill and ice, not eat!)
- carpet spot cleaning
- meal plan
- a bit of gardening
- put up the last string of outside lights and a few indoor decorations
- order some Christmas presents
- and of course Rosie's walk.
That is all doable as long as it doesn't rain.

Hi all, morning Round x
So today is a precious day of annual leave with nothing much planned. DH woke at 5am very wheezy and coughing which has been going on for too long and although probably linked to his other health issues I think is worthy of a call to the doctors. Got up and made us both a hot drink and that was it for me, although strangely I now feel like I could snooze again. DH is still in bed.
I have been coaxed into doing a presentation at work to be given to a whole roomful of strangers. Why do I get myself into these things? So I have had an hour or so working on my presentation while it's all whirling around in my head. I have the dentist on Tuesday and this presentation on Wednesday, nothing like giving my anxiety something to do eh?
I did think about cycling today but we are on the edge of a yellow weather warning for fog so that's probably not a good idea. Might go for a walk instead, possibly not on the moors or anywhere where I am likely to get myself lost!!!10 -
I'm dressed and three quarters of my bedroom floor + skirting boards is / are hoovered. It looks soooo much better, but the hoover smells hot so I've switched it off and opened the bedroom window to let in some fresh air.
There was a pile of books on the bedroom floor so I've brought that down to sort through.
The pile of books that I retrieved from RoD yesterday resulted in 1 to cs, 7 to keep. But I sent 100% of the LR floor books to cs so I'm in credit, or is it debit, regarding reducing books by 50%.
Coffee now ☕. Join me?
