Today I struggled to wake up, So very tired. Had breakfast, And gave Mum a big hug. Took Scout out, Towing the trailer. Went to fill up with diesel, Almost £100! Drove over to Machynlleth, And unloaded the trailer. Had lunch and headed back home. Parked up on the drive, And went into work. Did caretaking, And came home. Tidied up all the ratchet straps, And disconnected the trailer. Researched changing the coupling damper, I shall give it a go tomorrow. Checked on Mum, Then had a gas leak check. Caught up with some videos, And checked out some estate agent details. Very tired now, Best go to bed. #NosDa#NightAll

Today we went to the community workshop, And I helped teach how to use a coping saw. Then we went to vacuum water out of a flooded basement, Hopefully for the last time. Then loaded more workshop stuff into the trailer, And sheeted and strapped it down. Emails with our estate agent, Another option on selling our house. Did caretaking, And sorted some rubbish from the recycling. Joined in MakersHour, It was a good one. Very tired now, So off to bed. #NosDa#NightAll

Today we had eggs for breakfast, As is tradition. Then we decided to run away, But to make running away useful. We loaded some furniture into Midge, To take it to our Wales storage unit. We stopped off at Oswestry services, So Midge could have a charge. We unloaded our stuff into storage, Then went off for lunch. We tried the Drffryn Cafe Restaurant near Foel, It was lovely! We gave Midge another charge at Oswestry, And finally got home. Midge is on an overnight slow charge, And I checked on Mum. Spent the evening catching up on videos, And chilling out. There is stuff I want to do tomorrow, So off to bed I guess. #NosDa#NightAll

Today we loaded all the tools, And went to Boothstown repair cafe. Did a few repairs, And it was a lot of fun. Did a run down to Chapel-en-le-Frith, To pick up a trailer mover. SatNav chose a convoluted cross country route to get there. We returned via the easy A6 route. Quickly finished loading the trailer, And got it all sheeted and strapped. Had dinner with Mum, Chicken curry and rice. Watched an episode of Vera, And surfed estate agent sites. Time for bed now, Long day ahead. #NosDa#NightAll

Today we had eggs for breakfast, As is tradition. Then finished off loading Scout, And set off down to Machynlleth. The promised rain didn't happen, So we unloaded in the dry. We had lunch and tea, Before setting off home again. Back to park Scout and the trailer, And to put Midge at the end of the drive. Got some new house details to examine, One that looks very promising. I have emailed the agent, And requested a viewing. Watched a couple of videos, And an episode of Vera. Now tired, So off to bed. #NosDa#NightAll

Today I checked on the cars, Scout's battery is still on charge. Took Sue to the bank, To pay in a cheque. Then went to B&Q, Recycling some fluorescent tubes. Had a talk with Mum, Not sure I am any the wiser. She did phone Taiwan though, And had a chat with her kid sister. Went to do caretaking, And had a call from my manager. "Can you spare 5 minutes for a chat?" he says, 20 minutes later he still hasn't drawn breath! I have checked my dark suit, And made sure I have a black tie. Getting ready to head south tomorrow, For MiL's funeral. Best get to bed, Off line until Thursday evening. #NosDa#NightAll

But very tired now, So off to bed, #NosDa#NightAll

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.

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
