Hi all

Hearing that Rounds 89 year old Pops is sunning himself and having a fine old time put a smile on my face.  Good for him.

Dithered about whether to go into the paid stuff but decided to WFH again, people keep telling me that this cold virus is hard to shift.  Just what I want to hear. 

Have run the cordless vac around, DH is making soup then we will go for his daily walk even though it's foul out there.  DS is driving to Southwell races so I will try to avoid thinking about strong winds and the fact that the horse box he drives is tall but short so a bit unstable in bad weather.

I may do more paid stuff this afternoon or I might rest up.  My book and the sofa is tempting me and no one at work would be bothered.

Hugs ASB, life is very unfair sometimes x

Cleaned out the big cupboard and scrubbed the walls. Would love to paint but l-andlord wouldn't be happy if I use the lovely pastel green from my garage rather than boring white again. I will buy a piece of lino for the bottom of it to cheer up the bare unpainted floorboards though

Trying to keep going on the cleaning routines, cleaned the en-suite yesterday. Since I gave it a good going over a few weeks back I can manage this in about 20-30 minutes now, including the floor. I swapped out the filters in the Gtech, OMG I've no idea how it was picking anything up at all. Absolutely caked. Clean ones are in and it was much more effective. Now I've got the grim job of trying to clean up the old ones as I don't think you can get spares anymore.

Got the duster out this afternoon and discovered when I was dusting a windowsill that there's water getting in and making the paintwork damp.  Call to installers, they will arrange for somebody to come and have a look. Also managed to get hold of the builder to come and look at problem in the kitchen where water is getting in above the window. I've hung out of an upstairs window and can see what's causing it, how they will solve it is another matter. Hopefully he'll come tomorrow as promised.

Went and helped our neighbour with a setup change they needed to do on their solar inverter. They have the same setup as ours so it was quite straightforward.

Sunday we defrosted the freezer, still got to clean the fridge.

I've decided to line the bottom of the oven with foil to stop it getting so dirty, but it's moving around with the air from the fan. Can anybody suggest something I could anchor it down with?

@Slinky use a proper oven liner. Foil is very flammable and we do not need a burning down of ones abode!
