Squeaky clean, thanks! And clothes in the wash.

(And lmao at your second comment )

I got momentarily excited earlier when I looked in the mirror...

I thought the colour was coming back into my hair...

Then I washed it in the shower and it was white again.

Must of been all the smoke and ash from the bonfire...

You don’t have to be hitting a delete key... if you have a section highlighted and then type, whoosh, it’s gone and replaced by the new typing. Easy to do if you aren’t looking at the screen while typing.

Ah! Thanks, B! I appreciate having an answer. There is a bar that pops up on the text of work with options I don't understand... it drives me crazy... and I wonder if it didn't highlight the missing work... the work was missing mid sentence. With my shoulder problems I have to do a lot of going back and fixing errors, so maybe it happened when I was fixing one and I didn't notice the text disappear. Wonky shoulder, wonky eyes, wonky focus.

Bedtime for me.

Actually, it's way past bedtime. 

Night, all!

[Bucket1]

Sleep well Marty

Before I go, I thought some of you might like to see a photo that I took two days ago (thanks to Trusty Nikon) of the back of the new old house, showing the cottage in the garden, and taken from the upper (larger) garden...

That's a lovely property you've got there Marty. What will you do with the cottage? Store some herd?

I love your cottage! It's way bigger than I thought. The side garden is looking good too.

It’s not often I can take a break from work, cook a nice steak on the BBQ and eat it for lunch

WFH has benefits

Hey, Caz.     Glad you guys are doing well. I have plenty of chores to keep me busy, but when I have some down time, I find myself reading and writing more, instead of watching reruns on Netflix.   

Hey Page.  Yeah i got sick of the Tv pretty quick. Books are much more fun.

I might trade a little noise for that quiet around here. What I wouldn't give for the sound of my son thumping up and down the stairs, or his PS game system booming with gunfire and explosions that I can hear in my bedroom. God, I even miss the sound of his hour long showers.   

Take care and be safe, Caz.  

Hi Gary

I suppose it's a catch twenty-two situation. I love spending time with Ali and Mark, but I also like to be alone and have quiet to work and read. Now, of course, that choice is taken from me. I expect if I was alone I would be thinking it was too quiet and I wanted company every once and while.

Thanks, Gary!

The cottage may look bigger in that photo than it really is. A matter of perspective, I think, as I was stood much closer to it than the house behind, making it look almost as tall as the house itself. In reality it's probably only about 2/3 the height of the main house.

Not totally made my mind up yet, clo.

I'm thinking I may convert the upper story into some sort of living accommodation. Perhaps a holiday rental, or just somewhere for friends or family to stay when too many visit at once.

The lower story may eventually become a workshop/storage area.

(And is it wrong that I initially read the last word of you replay as "herb"...? )

Hi, young Albert!

Hope all's well with you.

Just grabbing a bite to eat, then back out to the garden.
