Yes folks, the riveting adventure of my day is drawing to a close. I have finished the tidying. Just about. Well, as much as I'm likely to tackle this side of Christmastime....

Mr Penry has very kindly done some gardening today, planting the last of the bulbs and doing some repotting; taking my pelargoniums to a Better Place (the Hutch, where our bunnies live). The dogs have been helping.

It was a very profitable tidy-up; I found things I'd forgotten about (especially books) and things I never knew I had (such as a giant blanket - I have no idea whose it is or where it came from. Why has nobody reclaimed it?)

It was also sad, going through old photo albums and occasionally having a good cry...

Now I'm off to make tea (pasta :) and then do more on my manuscript... Happy Days!

Well, I'm covered in dust and I look as though I've just finished the night shift.... and I'm still nowhere near finished. Where does all this stuff come from???? Answer - I hoarded it long ago in the mistaken belief that I couldn't live without it. It's all my fault and I must deal with it!

Right, back to work..... see you soon (I hope)

Not an inspiring subject I know, but unfortunately I have to do some serious clearing and tidying today. Still, it's in keeping with the waning moon, and with a bit of luck I'll see some improvement in the next few hours.

Or not.... usually I get sidetracked and start reading a book before I can decide whether to keep it or not. Wish me luck! Be back later!
