Productive day. Washed a blanket. Scanned a pile of letters etc that had accumulated after having come through the post. Visited friend from uni, brave for me as I don’t drive by myself much these days. Packed to go to London tomorrow. & booked a pub to stay at en route to school reunion next week.

Fussy kitchen fridge 0 : me 1
*whispers*
Yesterday I put a 2p piece under the front right of it and think I’ve fixed its leak.
The piece of kitchen roll on the floor there is bone dry! as opposed to sopping wet.

Put away late mum’s necklace & MiL’s ring. I’d worn both to son’s wedding so I’d felt they were there too. Found a purse I’d put £12 in back in September, & a tin with £18.50 in for window cleaners, but they retired a while back. Now have £30 to spend at Xmas Fayre 😊

Man with pick up full of logs has just drawn up. He’s currently unloading them, then we have to move and store them.
Yay! for this winter’s delivery, but boo 😏 to us having to move and store them.
