Today we went to the community workshop, And I built a simple free standing bookshelf. Sue sorted and placed craft and woodwork books on it, It is the Maker of Things Library. In the afternoon I took Mum to her appointment, And sent some emails. Did caretaking, And took the bins back in at work. Started loading Acrow props into the trailer, We'll move them into storage on Sunday. Tried to join in with MakersHour, But not enough spoons left after hosting. Tired now, So off to bed. #NosDa #NightAll

Today I laundered the bedding, And also did the bins. Then I met Sue at work, And did the bins there too. Remade the bed, And made plans for the weekend. DPD delivered a motor, So I repaired the Henry for the Church. Loaded the 'Maker Of Things' library books into the car, They will go to the Community Workshop tomorrow. Did caretaking, And yet more bins. Rested a bit in the evening, And watched another episode of Vera. Busy day tomorrow, So off to bed. #NosDa #NightAll

Today we took Mum shopping, She didn't buy much but we did. Then I drove into Manchester, And attended a long work meeting. Eventually got home, And found Sue had been baking. 😋 Fell asleep on the sofa, But woke to do caretaking. Chatted with Mum for a bit, But very tired. Did laundry, And watched a bit of TV. Heading off to bed now, Before I fall asleep again. #NosDa #NightAll

Today we got up early, And took Scout out with the trailer. Drove down to Machynlleth, And unloaded crates into a storage unit. Had fish and chips for lunch, Then drove back home. Went straight to work, And did caretaking. Parked up Scout and the trailer, And put Midge back on the drive. Popped in to see Mum, Just to make sure she is ok. Rested for the evening, watching videos and TV. Now time for bed, A long day tomorrow. #NosDa #NightAll

Today we had eggs for breakfast, As is tradition. Then I parked Midge outside, And moved Scout and the trailer down the drive. Packed more books, And left a few for charity shops. We moved 29 crates down the stairs, And loaded 633kg onto the trailer. It has all been tarped, And strapped down. Scout got a fluids check, And all tyres inflated. Then I fixed a puncture, That was on Mum's wheelchair. Rested for the afternoon, And watched TV. Time for bed, It will be a long busy day in the morning. #NosDa #NightAll

Today I met Sue at work, And cleaned the church. Then the car boot chap arrived, And bought a load of Dad's old stock. We took E-waste to the WEEE Charity, before popping into Machine Mart again. Then it was over to Ikea, And we had lunch there. Took Scout out for a wash, And to fill the tank with fuel. Hitched up the trailer, we'll load it on Sunday. Watched a bit of TV, And a couple of videos. Repair Cafe in the morning, So off to bed now. #NosDa #NightAll

Today we took Mum shopping, Then I sorted out the packed Tote crates. I weighed them to make trailer loading better, But some of them are really heavy! We did some more E-waste sorting in the basement, And also created a load of non ferrous scrap metal. The moors fire smoke was really bad again, And I masked up to walk to work. Tried to fix a puncture on Mum's wheelchair, But it seems spray glue isn't as good as rubber cement. Watched a bit of TV tonight, There were some good dresses on Sewing Bee. Tired now, I guess it is bedtime. #NosDa #NightAll

Today I made a call to book storage in Wales, And eventually had to settle for a small expensive box. It will have to do for now, And we'll swap to a shipping container eventually. Also had a lovely offer of help, Isn't the Fediverse lovely! Packed three more tote crates, And brought ten more into the house. Ordered a tarpaulin for the trailer, Should have ordered two! Went to Miniatures Club, Despite the smoky air. We made tiny Fimo food, That was fun. Back home now, And time for bed. #NosDa #NightAll

Today we had eggs for breakfast, As is tradition. Then we decided to run away, And went to Bygone Times. We had coffee and cake, Before looking around. I began to feel a bit ill, I think maybe dairy contamination. We had a cup of tea, And a rest. Then we went off to check out a Velo Cafe, And had a cold drink there. Came home via a scenic route, Back to smoke pollution. All windows closed, To keep the smell out. Checked on Mum, She was exercising. Compared prices for storage options, We'll need to book that soon. Watched a bit of TV, But tired now. #NosDa #NightAll

Today.... I did very little. Unplugged the car, chatted with Mum, did the laundry, watched a few videos and a bit of TV. Then we had dinner with Mum. It has been one of those days. Oh, Sue's mouse isn't scrolling, so we opened it up to clean. Now it scrolls one way only. I will have another look at it tomorrow. #NosDa #NightAll

Today I did the bins, And phoned EE to cancel a contract. Then I met Sue at work, And did the bins there too. The church Henry vacuum died, So I took it home to try and fix it. It needs a new motor, Sue has asked if we have a go ahead. Did a load of emails, All relating to our house sale. Then did caretaking work, And spent a little time with Mum. Trying to catch up with videos, And planning to get back to Leicester tomorrow. Very tired now, So off to bed. #NosDa #NightAll
