Granddaughter's first day at school, the drop-off didn't seem to go too badly apparently

I have licked a stamp and stuck it to an envelope. Once I have recovered some more energy from that I will walk to the postbox.

You can't manage to get to the post office much if you still need to lick a stamp.

I bought a load of first and second class stamps in bulk years ago, since they don't show the price. So still working through them :-)

I am beginning to realise that I do not function terribly well on two and a half hours' sleep.

On the upsides, we're celebrating Madam Poppy's 10th birthday here chez Casa Reynard. I love my beautiful tortie girl to bits.

Returning the bags and tent we borrowed for the holiday.

Now we have an idea of what we want we can start saving...

Sitting here with a and trying so hard not to throw it at the TV...

Watching coverage from Westminster, and the only thing that springs to mind is a piece of political invective originally directed at Neville Chamberlain a year or so after Munich:

You had the choice between dishonour and war. You chose dishonour and you will have war.

P.S. I don't participate in the N&CA board although I do read the threads. If anyone here wants to use the quote, I can whip(!) the relevant book off the shelf and give a more complete reference.

I'd worked that out before I posted, I didn't think you had a 'My 1st Printing Kit' and were knocking your own up.

Am mounting photos for my scrapbook / archive.

File is definitely overfull now. I need to think of alternative storage options.

I'm avoiding watching it - I'm off back to the sun (just got home unfortunately).

Someone has been filling my garage up with (useful) stuff ! My son's fixed a couple of mates cars and helped shift some junk, so was 'paid' to help. He's spent that on a new jet washer (I have an old one but it doesn't 'snow foam' !), a metal tool cabinet and tools, chock blocks, jack blocks and a car 'slider'. I've got to find 'room' for all this in the bike garage now !

It's weirdly compelling in its own way.

Better that than the various soaps on offer...
