    I'll take a photo when I do get them all out of assorted fridges and tupperwares and baskets and then you'll see @Biglad

    My seeds no longer fit into their allotted tupperware fridge box...   :o

    My seeds are in a large drawer and are still there and intact after moving house.

    Went to the local tip this morning to find you need a card to enter, but they let us in.

    Started unpacking the dining room today.

    Hope you’re sleeping well @Busy-Lizzie ... you’re going to need lots of energy. It does sound as if you’re well on your way to making it into a lovely home 😊 

    night night all ... sleep tight 😴

    Morning everyone. I haven’t read back yet, but have just turned the weather channel on and can hardly believe what she said - snow flakes on the high country this afternoon. 😳. I’m still flopping in shorts and the air con set to 24.  Crazy weather!

    Been to town to take our empty bottles to Woolworths recycling place - it hadn’t  been emptied, so a wasted trip. 😡 
    Anyway, at least I’ve had a chance to thread a few pages on the Forkers site and
    discovered the chat about books to read. DD, my current favourite is L.E. Modesit Jnr 
     books. The series I’m on at the moment is the “Imager” ones. I love all his books though.

    Oh yes, how could I forget. Torquil Macleod books about the Swedish detective series. These are my absolute favourites.

  • Good morning @Pat E thank you for the recommendations, I enjoy the Scandinavian dramas from time to time on Netflix so Torquil MacLeod certainly sounds interesting. They're reporting on the news this morning that book reading is on the increase, one good thing to come out of the lockdown scenarios. 

    Shame your trip was a waste of time. 🙄

    Still raining here, more time for reading if nothing else. 🙂

    Have a good day all.

    Morning all.

    I have been sleeping well since we moved, thank you, @Dovefromabove. Busy and tired, lost a couple of pounds in weight too. Wasn't sleeping well before the move. But last night was less good as wrist is painful.

    Going to the big SM this morning half an hour away to pick up the new Internet box (which probably won't work yet) and buy food for the weekend.

    I've told daughter that they will have to help unpack and make their own beds. I can't do that at the moment, anyway, as I've strained my left wrist, very painful, took painkillers in the night. I can cook and I like cooking. We have a wood burning stove that I forgot isn't just for providing heat - you can cook on it too, but no temperature adjustment.
