Mellow Fruitfulness

It is done!

Congratulations! I've put light bulbs in the bathroom lights and sorted a bag of running stuff I won't ever use again for the CS. Also taken the robot hoover into the sitting room where it has eaten lots of dog hair, washed the big hoover filters (not sure they will dry!) and moved logs from the hall to the sitting room and then from the porch to the hall. Need to retrieve a wheelbarrow to do logstore to porch for the next lot, but the hall log basket is nearly full so I'm finally catching up with myself. Also shoved some soup in the SC and remembered to take frozen fruit out of the freezer. Although it still appears to be full.

I would love a robot hoover @greenbee but I'm not sure it would cope with a constantly shedding German Shepherd? I get through cordless hoovers pretty quickly (but my Hetty copes well).

The robot copes well with constantly shedding labrador and cats @Rhyddid2026. It has a very small bin, so needs emptying regularly, but the point is you can run it regularly (as long as your floors are clear of obstacles and there are no escape routes). I need to get into the habit of setting it off in the sitting room in the morning (I leave the doors open at night for the heat from the stove to circulate).

Well done on your posting achievements Rhy!  And to Mr KK as well!

I don't want to get my hopes up too much.... But I have a provisional date to get the storage unit (mostly) emptied 😯
And it's before Christmas 😯
It's actually a November date 🥳
I'll have to go down and sort a couple of things before then, bring back things I know he wants to keep, take things in my house that can be sold, and take some strong boxes as some are broken, but that can be done in a few hours, half a day max.
This is very exciting! I could be free of it by the new year!

We have had the workmen here again so I have been in the other living room in my reading nook with my dog and doing a lot more reading that I have this year so far. I finished a book today and I have to take my dog to the vet for a routine appointment. There is a free book library box near the vet so I will pick one and leave the book I read there. I have to give her flea treatment when I get back home and write out a card.

I go to group meditation classes, but I thought I would try meditation again on my own at home so I just did a short YouTube video. I also booked another class online for the next couple of weeks.

I am actually spending my Friday night looking at grout. Grout.

I win the OATs 😂

While you're there can you look at fabric for headboards, and paint colours for my hall please?

The trellis is all up and looks fabulous. I need to replant a honeysuckle and work out how much more turf to take up to make a bed round it - there's a strip taken up between it and the paving, but I think it needs to be deeper and include the honeysuckles that are still in the ground. There's lots of nice-looking soil that's been moved to the back, so I need to sort out that and the turf - the turf can go in a pile to rot down, and the soil can be mixed with compost to mulch new beds/the veg plot.

I've ordered lots of bulbs, so need to mend the bulb planter before they arrive. I have 45 already, so should probably get a move on.

However, the priority for this weekend has to be moving stuff back into the bedroom so I can get into the other rooms and clear the landing by Tuesday.

I've had a lovely afternoon after school making Christmas crackers with 5 and 8 year old grandchildren
