My first attempt to record my day must have been too long, because the text became irregular. Here goes again. Day starts between 7 and 7.30 am, with a trip down the garden with food and water.

Thank you for the link, Gareth.

They have improved in a week Lisa, and what a lovely play area. All the best with them.

Your washing machine drum looks good, Gareth. Will make enquiries during the week, see if our local repair man is scrapping any.

Thanks for the information, Orfy. We already have four compost areas, and they are slowly approaching our house!
