    @Brie You are most welcome to keep posting on this thread. This is about my journey in my 60's.

    The cat does not go outside, so no funny presents.

    So today has been wonderful ,sunny and warm.(time to get out the summer clothes?)

    I did 2 loads of washing which I will remove from the line soon.

    I have cleaned the bathroom floor and also cleaned the vents on the cooker hood.

    Hope everyone else got a share of the sunshine.

    Thank you for letting me stay! Not that I'm very good at keeping out of places I find interesting.

    And as for the cat - there was no suggestion that s/he had gone outside. The bird/mouse/boa constrictor could have been on a suicide mission and breached your perimeter.
