    I'm classing eating/using eggs as an OAT because I have so many. Today I remembered eggy bread! Joy!

    The less said about the other ten I cooked the better.

    I have to clean my disgusting house tonight, I have a broadband engineer coming at 8am.

    Lovely to read about all your OATs being tackled, although sorry about the tree. We have a dead elm outside our door which will have to come down at some point although everything has been very spendy recently and I need a bit of a rest 😬

    A friend came and did it windowsills - I was originally going to do it 5 years ago when the kitchen was fitted, wanted to make them out of the old stone roof tiles of the collapsed barn, but I never got round to it. Two years ago he said he'd do it, but then he never got round to it either 😂 so definitely an OAT! Lovely to have them done, there are five between kitchen/ dining room and bedroom and they just had bits of fabric draped over before. I love them 🥰 just have to sort through all the stuff and decide what to put back on!

    I had another OAT to report but now can't remember what it was! 🙈

    I've just had a major tidy up of stuff that's been hanging around in the garden since the building work started. Given there's a storm coming I don't want stuff blowing about. Also managed to shove some damp garden furniture in the shed all well spaced out. It won't dry much in there, but it won't get any wetter! The remaining stuff is heavier, but I might manhandle a few bits round to the open garage if I have time.

    I now have vast piles of stuff in the kitchen to sort through and clean up and put away neatly in either the plant room, workshop or shed!
