1. Charge Keith's mobility scooter, and then advertise it for sale.
2. Advertise the ramps, and both wheelchairs.
3. Put half used bag of cement in plastic to go to Tip next time (taken damp in and unusable).
4. Put on my Big Girls' Pants and venture into the attic. All bar one of the suitcases need to go to the Charity shop. That's just the start . . . it needs much less up there!
5. Take the rocking chair outside and stain the new rockers that Keith had our carpenter put on for him. Keith advised me on how to put the clamps on its turned bits when I had to glue it recently (loose joints) and also how to make the stain by putting wire wool in a tub of white spirit.
6. Get the Penny chair out of the stables, rub down and Briwax.
7. Glue all the loose joints on two Windsor chairs.
8. Give yourself a date with clearing the undergrowth on the bank, daily.
9. Back to those cobbles again too . . .
10. Inform friends etc about landline going and give mobile number.
11. List some of Keith Militaria books to help cash flow.
12. Find paint used so I can touch up the kitchen walls.
13. Consider doing a Car Boot Sale on Sunday. There are several sundry boxes of Pre-Covid stock which need clearing.
14. Plant anything which has been sitting around for weeks waiting to go in the ground when I have decided where . . .
15. Wipe and then Briwax kitchen table.
16. Get Danny or Jon to move the spare tv up into the attic and use the front bedroom as my sewing room again.
17. Harden heart and go through sewing bits in the stack of drawers - so much stuff I will never use. I need to give someone else the chance.
18. Get our friend with a shop in Hay to value and sell some militaria for us (already agreed, just need to get him out here).
19. Tidy up in Library - I may be gone some time.
20. Sit outside in sunshine with a good book. Currently reading Thicways and Athirt - A Countryman's Diary by Norman Goodland. I remember him well - he was a good Hampshire countryman from just outside of mum's home town of Romsey. The book is very comforting and he had a way with prose.
Right, that's enough to be going on with . . .
