Anyway, I felt better later and did a bit of a catch up on the most important tasks. I even ventured out to the garage (subject of current major decluttering project) and found two coils of hose pipe left over from G's field work which have now been stored more neatly in a black plastic dustbin, thus freeing up space on the shelves for the more important tools and odds and ends that I do want to keep.
Finally, I'm off to see the offspring and grand-offspring this weekend, so probably won't be posting much until I'm back, though I will try to look in and read LJ while I'm away.
