Thank you for my medal Mrs SD. I need to try all my jumpers on now stored in a drawer. rarely worn,I'm not a jumper or coat girl.I confess to having a drawer of things that are too small that I just can't part with. I promise to go through it and be ruthless. Some of it dates back to the hippy 1970's.
You were very lucky that you noticed the fire smouldering,It could have been very dramatic.
It's actually turned out to be a nice day here, a giddy 16 degrees.
I had to jib at the balsam bashing as I took a nettle to the face. I am stung even through clothes and gloves.Another couple of sessions will do it I think. The nettles and balsam are way taller than me.
Muddy, some positive ish health news for your family. xxx
Daisy, lovely,lovely new things and beautiful flowers.x
Gers, nice to find a fellow fan. He does tell a good tale.
The saga of the giant plant runs. The guy's gardener has dropped it off at my Mother's. When Mr V returns we will have to go up there and man handle it into the house.
DD1 and OH are flying down on Wednesday so they can visit it before they go off up North for a couple of weddings. I don't know where they will sleep Wednesday as our spare room is stuffed with all DD1's stuff! Have a photo of the comedic giant plant. Photo doesn’t do it justice!

@Mrs_Salad_Dodger definitely not Covid, just a really annoying cold virus type thing. Shouldn't have gone back to work today though as I didn't sleep very well and now am just knackered. As a result I picked a very easy area to declutter today - one of the cupboards in the library that just has puzzles in. Also pulled out one puzzle to make next as I have a weird feeling it was too easy and so will probably go after making that one.One more thing in (already feel shocked by the amount coming in at the moment
), but this was a PE bag for DS that he will need next year and I picked it up for free on Buy Nothing (I guess it is an average of 1 thing in and 22 out though!). Just need to sort the rest of his uniform
12 - random puzzle pieces recycled (from my parents… not my clutter)
3 - puzzles (Buy Nothing)New total = 13,263July In: 12, July Out: 263For those who missed out on my baking the other day, there is now an almond, blueberry and lemon loaf cake in the TLC carriage.

Cwitches and hugs to whoever needs them.
Lots of hurkle-durkle done the past while.
I've some decluttering done and a bin bag out this week to the bin. Two old dressing gowns gone why I kept them I don't know. Lots of rubbish bits and pieces out too.
Back to physical labour work next week thankfully as I am missing the interaction with everyone. I will be taking it easy.“HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM. (Death)” - Sir Terry Pratchett15 -

Another Alfie Moore fan here, saw him at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield. Enjoyed his silly humour and love his radio series13

The only thing I have decluttered today was at work and it was my sanity!!!!
I hope to retrieve it tomorrow when I am back in the office.14 -
I stayed up listening to the election results until after 4. I got up at noon - so tired - Mrs SD - I don't know how you do late nights!
I have had a day indoors - not even got dressed - felt so fragile.
Mr F's wider rollator and high seat chair were delivered today - now we have to wait for occupational therapy to come and set it to the correct height.
Off to bed early.
C is back - he started work on Monday.
