Ouch - I suddenly find myself minus half a tooth and half a filling. Great - the Isle of Wight is utterly without available NHS dentists so my little emergency could well take me "abroad" on a little excursion... either that or cost me an arm and a leg going private. How very irritating.
Smudgelet seems not to be coughing quite so much tonight - touch wood. Let's hope a lazy day has done him good. Tiddles has had a good day too, as has my Dad who has completed another set of beautiful drawings.
Meanwhile most of the day has been dedicated to my wardrobe. Amazing - it's the first set of instructions that have actually been straightforward to follow - so miracles do happen! I've done all but the most difficult bit. I'm leaving the doors until tomorrow- by 5pm I thought it was about time I got washed and dressed and ready for the day. Am I the only person who works best if they don't change out of their pyjamas? But it all went together without a hitch and was eventually manoevred into position in the bedroom, having weaved it back and forth through the doorway and multi-cornered hall single handed (don't tell my Dad!), with a little help from Tiddles. I wondered at one point why it had suddenly become heavier, but evicting Charlie from the drawers helped considerably. Shame I hadn't really planned in advance properly... .. ... Well, it only took another half hour to take the whole fitting back through the hall and into the lounge again to turn it round!!! But it does look good now it's finally facing the right way!
Charlie was already in disgrace. The jigsaw box was a cosy place to have a sleep this morning. Shame it was balanced so precariously on top of the organ - a slight shift of weight and the whole lot went catapulting over the length of the end part of the lounge, together with the contents of my open sewing case which was balanced alongside it. Needless to say, Charlie did not hang around for long to see the results of his mishap! Tiddles reckons he's gathered up all 3000 pieces. I suppose I'm going to have to make the puzzle up to find out if there's any he's missed.
Bet I ache tomorrow.
