Sounds really positive and great your new work pattern is working. Now the mornings are lighter will the alarm actually do anything?

Thanks DIA, Lucielle, Jwil and TG

TG - the alarm clock is intended to wake you up naturally without a harsh alarm. It won't be as necessary in the summer as winter - but I'm hoping that I will be more used to getting up earlier by starting with it now. I can only see if it works. I'll still set my alarm as a back up.

I went to art group tonight and got coloured chalks and charcoal all over my face and neck. Made others laugh. Someone rescued me with a wipe!! I've managed to book on for the next two weeks.

I'm thrilled to bits with my new electronic garage door. It - together with the raised beds and the tarmac from before Xmas - and last year's gutter, soffits, fascias and roof work etc makes my house look brand new and so much smarter. Really happy. At £1.4K it was reasonable given I paid £1.2K in around 2018 for a similar garage door at the previous house and there's been rampant inflation since then. 

The joiners are ignoring me - so I either need to find someone else - or learn joinery (and buy some kit)!! Or a minimum of a mitre saw and special block thing... I doubt if the skirting boards would be that hard to do - I just would have to get the wood delivered as it would be too long for my car. I'd then need to skooch round on the floor somehow... I might buy a rolling garden seat thing - I was given a semi broken one last year but the seat was breaking when I was given it - so I think I'd prefer to get a new one. Could be a lot cheaper than the £1.8K I had planned to spend. That did include some supplies though... 

Due to see DD on Sunday to play mini golf. Not played that for over 10 years so should be fun.

Lovely photos 😊🌞

The description of you getting covered in chalk and charcoal made me smile. It’s what they call ‘immersive art’ don’t they …? 🤔😉

Great news about the garage door 👏 That to me sounds like a real quality of life thing as it was a constant worry that you couldn’t secure it after going in there. As for the joiners - sending them a Paddington Hard Stare …!

Thanks KK 

Over the weekend I plan to take some stuff to the reuse shop to free up garage space. When I was at that shop last week they had a table top that matches my others with trestles which I am tempted to get if it is still there for use in the garage or utility. I want to get castors on some furniture I am keeping then may put those in the garage too. At £30 it would be cheaper than my original counter plan. I'd have to get a neighbour to help me move it. I would use the trestles for other things and put 4 cube units on castors under the top so it is easy to move.

Done some Italian today.

Great that the garage door is a success, and a good price!  I think the front of your house is really important, when you come home it makes for a welcoming sight every day.
