So, today

 

So then - did we leap into action today - given the rain outside and the related inability to service the bike or work on the daf - did we instead leap into action and finish the bathroom?

Did we paint the wall in the study?

No, we did not. I had a headache this morning, and we only actually got going some time after 1. Possibly 2. But we've had really nice day; scrambled eggs and bagels for breakfast; a nice long shower; yesterday's curry for lunch; I've sorted out the bike getting the bits needed to make it not only MOT worthy, but in a better condition than it's been for ages - and organised a day to get it down to Burwin to see if they can figure out why it'll only do 50mph. And maybe get that efficiency up a bit, because it's down around 25-30mpg which is way-low for an MZ.

Kathryn used that opportunity of me ringing to head to the post office, and then we settled down reading websites and doing little of import for a while before embarking on a mammoth larder clearout. Rubbish and tools out; mould off the wall (but it really needs a coat of mould resistant paint), and then cleaned and tidied and labelled and reorganised. It's actually a usable space now (although I can't wait to clean it, rip out the old shelves and reorganise that).

Finally we cooked an awesome dinner.

Kathryn made gorgeous shortbread biscuits yesterday, which I may have to eat some more of, when I'm less full. The good thing about not being on holiday all the time is I suspect I'd weigh about 3 times more than I do if I was.

And now, potentially, trivial pursuit.

As an aside, the burn on my hand is peeling...
