Nar. That was a stray dog poop. Sorry. My fault entirely.

Tools roolz

The neighbours cat leaves me a hard black pile on my grass every morning. Three pieces. Luckily in this weather it’s dried to a crisp by the time I do dog poop picking up and easy to scoop … #cats

Larger logs #guest

Drop. Flush. Wipe. Flush. Wipe again.

Coffee croissants and cinnamon or eggs and bacon ?

I engaged in lengthy conversation. Asking for advice on how to prevent a recurrence etc. also watching from the window in fascination. I had introduced the topic of Excessive Logs right at the start.

Oddly enough he confirmed the timescales. Was able to guess when the Guests stayed :)

Now I’ve sorted the plumbing I just need a gardener , window cleaner and indoor cleaner.

We discussed a form of words to use with Guests who cause Issues in the bathroom.

Yes. My thoughts too. Someone had even used the slot to hold a piece of kitchen roll at the weekend #genius

Absolutely what I thought. Though when he pulled up his t shirt over his mouth and nose it was telling. He told me to stay indoors and closed the door firmly in case I followed him out.

Plenty of sugar they’ll be fine #applecrumble ?

What a fascinating morning watching the plumber at work ridding out the drains. That should get rid of the pong in the bathroom …

Pillows are very personal aren’t they. We all like something a bit different.

A tag on a pillow describing it as synthetic and firm and anti allergy.

Pillow number on the tag

It’s a synthetic one I grabbed in a John Lewis. Impulse buy because it felt good. I love feather and down but don’t like to think of the ducks/ geese so don’t buy them any more. This one you sink into and it springs back slowly. It’s lovely. £30. Luckily I only needed one …

I don’t have bed bugs …

I also hoovered the bed but ???

I put all my clothes in the freezer then steamed them this morning.

What though ?

Some are getting through. There’s been cars and one or two loggers at seven am. Who knows ?

I counted sixteen this morning. It’s just really bad this year.

Baggy ?

It’s definitely raining. I stepped outside to pour my coffeee dregs on the hydrangea and confirmed it. #nowdozing
I’ve serviced the vacuum cleaner and hoovered - I’ve done my bit.

I’ve “serviced” the vacuum cleaner. I didn’t sleep much.
It’s the only way forwards.

Raging here. Proper raging storm. Or so I tell myself. <heads away from outdoor work and in direction of soft bedding and pillows >

I dont y know but it feels appropriate right now along with le yawn. Followed by the fading sounds of me and TT padding softly upstairs.

I have become the ‘IT Hub’ for three of my elderly neighbours. So much essential stuff now has to be done on-line. There seems to be an assumption that all elderly people have family or someone like me to step in. I am sure that isn’t the case

Re-reading the scribbles I left in the copy of 4 Quartets I used as a student >40 years ago.
Time present and time past/ Are both perhaps present in time future

I can't take up kayaking for reasons, but boy do I want to very badly now.
