Tomorrow I have a helper to help me do stuff and drive me around. What to do? #decisionsdecisions
* Buy a new bath spout
* Buy a birthday present for middle child
* Visit the good vegan cheese shop
* Measure the defunct roller door
* Work on the garden
* Fill the urn and cooler with water so I don't have to risk the steps so often
* Rig up a tarp over the deck entry
* Sort out a kitchen light
* Take washing to the laundromat
* Move tubs that impede the roller door
* Take cat to vet check up

Enjoying my first soak in my new tub. From my ankles to my fingers I am one big ache after all the moving. Hot water is bliss.

Unfortunately the spout has been awkwardly placed near the upper arm so that refilling the tub while using it gives a burst of water to the chest. Replacing it with one that swivels is now on my list. Fairly low in priority but an easy fix, at least.

This information is new to me.

Carbon pollution is making food less nutritious and risking health of billions

Surging concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere have produced potent changes in the way plants grow, draining the nutrients from food.

Packing Frenzy leaves no room for sensible eating! Today I ate sausages and lamingtons, both chosen because I needed to clear out the small freezer in order to defrost it. Tomorrow is looking like bacon and dumplings. #movinghouse

I always know when it's about to rain because Mojo headbutts me , indicating that she would like to hide under the blanket with me now. If I am not under a blanket I need to drape one over me to enable this. In a pinch, any moderately opaque fabric to hand can serve this function. #catsOfMastodon #cats

Every time I sit down she sits on me.

I guess:
(a) It's getting colder
(b) I'm moving stuff out of their god-ordained* places and
(c) I've spent a lot of time away from home recently
But I still have so much to pack!

* The relevant goddess being Bast, of course

Today I signed a mortgage and a contract to instal solar. No guts, no glory - right?
