6th February 2026
It’s been a funny old week, we have got in a rut that we can’t get out of. Having a puppy around has meant that everything has had to take second place. One of us had to remain vigilant at all time to avoid disasters. Our daily aim is to tire her out so that we can have a moment of peace. Classical music is played to soothe her, it helps us at the same time.
I had a crappy job of cleaning and polishing some brass handles for the two matching dressers that are near to completion. I tried toothpaste, wire wool and polishing compound and scouring powder, I got them the best I could, but what a drag.
I booked my National Express coach, which was a very reasonable £22 return, compared to the autumn fare, now the rundown starts.
There was a thaw starting, there are obvious signs hanging from the gutters.
