Well, I'm back here on the sofa for another 2 weeks... decluttering has come to a halt, but I'm trying to keep a lid on the mess... did manage to get Manitas to move the allegedly pot grown Christmas tree into the garden where it may get colder but it will at least be watered more often than the dining room... it may survive - it may not. I found out it was double potted so the water in the tray wasn't actually getting to the root ball or soil in any quantity... poor tree.

May have a bash at vacuuming up the needles it left behind later, but a walk up the road to the doctors and the purchase of some organic comestibles has wiped me out again.

Have been busy sewing for other people again, maybe in the next week or so I can sew for myself for a while, and declutter the shelves behind me where all my projects are "resting".... and providing warm, soft spots for the cats who don't appear to mind sitting on 3" quilt pins.
