Mess of the day


This is the card table at the end of my bed. As you can see, a big tidy up is long overdue. At the bottom of the pile are ancestry folders, each containing hours and hours of research, yet to be sorted out.  On top are numerous address books which I intend to put together in one new one, updating people who have moved, divorced or died. In the middle are diaries. Goodness knows why I bother to keep a diary as I never reread them. I have two huge containers full of old diaries, going back years.

I have 2,740 mails in my Inbox this morning. This is one problem I will never overcome. If I owe you a reply, please forgive me...

It's pouring rain and windy outside. This morning I drove Emma to our favourite patisserie for coffee and cake. Probably should have stayed indoors, as it was dangerous to be on the roads, with fallen trees and branches. Mind you, it's dangerous to be in the house, too, as we have a huge gum tree overhanging the roof, and I live in dread that it will come crashing down one day.

Muffy has just climbed onto my lap and is purring away. Gives me an excuse to sit at the keyboard a bit longer, and do some jigsaw puzzles instead of starting on the mess. Any delaying tactic is a good one...
