Today I got up tired,
And went to meet Sue at work.
Cleaned the church,
Then found the paint codes for the car.
Did a little filing,
And some admin.
Then went back to bed in the afternoon,
And got a solid 90 minuted sleep.
Did caretaking,
And cleaned the Meeting House.
Met with the drains chap,
He's doing some repairs at the work carpark.
Watched a few videos,
But many not loading on FreeTube.
Also @Cupoftea.social has stopped working!
Amser gwely,
#NosDa.

#NightAll

Today I set up a new Mastodon Account,
As a back up to my usual @Maker_of_Things.
Then we cleaned the church and hall,
Then an early lunch.
Took Mum to her hospital appointment,
Where they poked electric needles in her arm.
Bought timber joists,
For the Community Workshop.
Did a bit of miniature making,
Still working on the tiny toolbox stack.
Did caretaking,
And also some emails.
Checked on parents,
They are so frustrating.
Caught up with YouTube,
Tired now.

#GoodMorningWorlds.
I've set up on a new instance as a backup this morning. Really hoping @Strangeobject.space comes back online.
Off to work in a moment, then a hospital appointment for Mum.

#HarrietAndDaisy #Miniatures

Daisy: "I hope you can get it sorted out."

Harriet: "Yeah, gonna be a pain if I've lost everything."

Daisy: "We're gonna need an IT department."

Harriet: Ha, yeah, but that will still be me!"
