Morning Guy and fellow ORCs. Sorry to hear Isabella is poorly. Hope sheβs better very soon and youβre able to catch up on some sleep. Very calm outside after yesterdayβs bluster. The wind was so loud in the chimneys! Working today but walking first. Happy Friday!!

My IKEA wardrobe doesnβt have doors either. Itβs useful being able to see everything easily. The only thing Iβd recommend are shoulder dust covers for any infrequently worn velvet items.

Such a waste of tax payer money. Is it some of it a ploy to cause voters to become even less likely to vote in elections by having so many?

Morning Mushen. A pottering day is always a good day. I shall be working but as itβs from home, Iβm not complaining. Shame the weatherβs taken a step backwards and just as the magnoliaβs coming in to bloom. Hope your pottering day goes well.

Morning CiF and ORCs. The sun is shining in Sussex so OH and I are going to wander around the junk shops of Lewes and have a pub lunch to celebrate my birthday. The magnolia is beginning to bloom in earnest now β π€ for no frost later this week. Happy hump day everyone.

Imagine having an understanding cupboard, though! It would keep itself organised and make sure the item you were looking for was at the front and easily reached. Would be so useful!
