I just amazed myself!

You all know how much I loathe and detest paper work - well, when I got back from swimming in the rain this morning I came into the study, put the heater on, and decided to actually do some sorting out.  I'd received a brochure in the mail offering 25% discount for house and contents insurance with the same company that insures the car.  So I decided to look into it and have actually saved myself $394!!!!!!!!!!!!  Amazing.

I also managed to burn some CDs of my reading workbooks for a teacher friend, something I've had no luck with for ages.  One particular book, Part A, for some incomprehensible reason, would corrupt itself and not allow itself to be printed.  I tried to trick it by copying an old one and burning this onto a separate CD.  I'll post both CDs to her and see if it works.

Winifred, I'm glad you had success with pelargoniums and geraniums in sunny Spain - mine are being eaten!

Michael, I have indeed received your mails, for which I thank you and apologise for not having acknowledged them sooner.

That black hose in the background of the photo is my vacuum cleaner, waiting to be used...I can't do everything today, so it will just have to wait.
