Well done all for excellent OATing 👏

For flips sake @KajiKita, can't believe they're still carrying on with this nonsense!

Massive high-five @greenbee that's an excellent achievement and by nagging you mean researching, arranging, paying, coordinating, supervising, project managing 🥂 Please keep me updated with any tips or quirks as I'll be trying to work out how the heck mine works and how to get best benefit once we move!

PIP - I've just watched a YT video on setting weather compensation. But I think I'm going to get my neighbour to help with a few bits (he told me what to set weather compensation to). The floors and radiators feel 'not cold'. What I'm not sure about is how the Heatmiser zones work with the heat pump controls… I also need to work out whether I need to open all the lockshield valves as well as the TRVs. And it isn't the best time of year to try to work out what the heating is doing…

I have a free day today so I am going to carry on with my book group book, start my other book my friend just returned to me and I need to start reading the information leaflets for my course at the weekend.

I've booked a hair cut for tomorrow, been on the list for a while (I lopped the ends off myself last time) and it'll be nice to have it done before we go away 😊

Nervous energy and work procrastination meant I took a small bag of stuff to the clothing donation bin, and a few items to the recycling centre. Was it the best use of my time? no. Did it mean I got something done at least, yes!

I've just potted up some tomatoes and cucumbers.

Well done @Rhyddid2026 - sometimes doing SOMETHING is far better than trying work out the 'perfect thing' (which often results in doing nothing, I find...)

Couple of OATs for me today

• Finally arranged a phone call with the solicitor dealing with our neighbour's dispute with another neighbour
• Bought a new printer
• Cleaned a patch of mould off the bathroom ceiling

Fixed the spool from the strimmer within three days of it coming off.

I need to book a pedicure and the hygienist today.

Wasn't going to go to art group but am glad I did as I managed a nice painting of a hedgehog (teacher says it needs more colour and she's right of course) and another of flowers that may be alliums or blown dandelions - lots of colour in that!!! I need to keep plugging away at the artwork as I get lazy and only do something when there's a class or a group session like today. I felt today that I had turned a corner where I was managing to draw something that turned out much as I envisioned rather than imagining something that on paper is just a mess. I feel like I'm achieving things when I am either being very free with colours and form or when I do something in pen and wash. All of which makes me want to rush out and buy new nicer better art supplies rather than use up the piles of stuff I've already bought.
