Stopped hurting now.(The 15 mile bike ride with #1 daughter on Saturday afternoon didn't help. However, I went to a Health and Healing fair on Sunday afternoon, and treated myself to some Indian massage).
I have started to liberate some random clutter from underneath the stairs, and I am planning to get the table under the gazebo cleared of the defunct sundae dishes, gardening equipment, windbreaks from last year's camping, dust sheets, etc. The stairs and landing are nearly papered, and I dare say the first paint will be going in the hall tomorrow. I have sent for details on 2 properties in Northumberland, and am starting to feel like I am getting some degree of control on what is going to happen over the Summer months. There will be still plenty to do after all the decorating is done, but they are smaller jobs, and much of it is more clearing out and organising.
...and I lost a pound and a half last week, so I am about back where I was before I went to Iceland and ate a lot of bread!
