I wouldn't bet on that - local forecast for the next week matches what we've had recently with today being a blip - a bloody cold blip.

Yep I'm crap at giving directions to drivers nowadays, too many years of riding bikes/trikes with the option of using bike routes.Perhaps I need to spend less time on the bike. For work this moring a visit to a new warehouse was required - having worked out where it was I reaised that I knew a shortcut, so into the car and off I set. Got to the junction where my sneaky shortcut began only to remember it was a cut through only accessible on bike/foot...

Morning.
Grey here outside .
We've won the Eurominions!
. I'm expecting the TV crews to arrive soon . Just trying to decide what and how to spend the money . Ooh! What bikes could I get ? 
. Probably the bank manager will roll out the red carpet for when we go down to deposit the cheque.
£2.30 .

Morning all from a grey & cloudy Suffolk.
Washing is on and the first coffee of the day has been downed. Still got the ironing & housework to do. Oh the excitement of a weekend off work.

Dry at 7am when baby cat decided it was breakfast (the two white ragdolls are the cheeky ones). Left home at 10am to pop to shop, peeing down.

In one of those random moments, I decided to take the stairs instead of the lift. 97 steps. I should have taken another 3 towards the 6th floor and made it a straight 100 up and 100 down. It's a lot slower than taking the lift.

Popped out to look at a laptop before MrsF buys it, but we didn't realise it's click and collect only. Went to the shop next door to get a food shop instead.

This is a big task that I cannot put off any longer - "down sizing". 
It could take a very long time, so I am allowing .......oooh...... about ten years before I move house again. What was your strategy if you have done this?
There are a lot of things in this house, that I "inherited" from numerous elderly relatives. I say inherited, but it was because no one knew what to do with them, did not want to throw them away, so I ended up with them.
It is best to start with some of the larger items? For instance like "fireguards" or things you put in front of the fire when it is not lit (with hand embroidered decorative fronts) two thereof. Large hand embroidered pictures, three. A piano stool, again with embroidered seat. I know I should offer them to the relevant family members before disposing of them/donating them to a Charity Shop.
Then there are three typewriters. One belonged to my Father so it has sentimental value, one is a complicated electronic version, with the teensiest screen that you can imagine. That was my Mother's. I will delete anything on there, and it can be recycled. The third one is a good electric trypewriter, which I think I will keep. There is one old laptop computer with cracked frame which can be recycled.
That is just for starters. If I remove the larger items that I do not want to keep, that will get the process started.
I will gradually have to edit the hundreds of books, concentrating on the ones I know I will not read again. How long does this virus remain on paper?
