Ruth has gone back to uni - the boxed up tv has gone from by my dining room window! The X Box has gone from the tv table! I can see surfaces, and the towel-load in the laundry basket has drastically shrunk. All the lost mugs have reappeared!

The cat and dog are bereft!

However, her car's still here because some b*st*rd forced the door on friday night, bent it at the top, and popped the window, leaving glass everywhere. I am now trying to source a door from the scrap dealers.

No luck so far, although a friend of hers, across the road, has an older version of the car and I am waiting for my son in law to check if it will fit.

I am gradually sifting through my stuff again, and starting to accumulate another stall's worth for the boot fair, although it will take some time, I fear. I hope I get it done soon enough before the "season" ends.
