My New Trike Is Nearly Here

 Checking my courier link as the first rays of predawn light drown out the stars,  I am overwhelmed to see that my new- to- me trike has arrived at the local depot.  Still 60k away,  but as close as she's getting with that service.

Putin invades Ukraine, kills thousands of civilians, evades justice.  Jenkins helps defend Ukraine and is gaoled.  Is this right?  Who made these rules? Who polices politicians?

its more than just floor sanding

   Right now I  having a coffee, its dawn, my chest & nasal passages are dust effected, I feel ecstatic. Not cartwheels in the mode ecstatic, just really chuffed & happy with myself.    Happy to have begun the job & stoked to see the finished product.it is a job thats been put off. There have been many real & imagined obstacles; years ago it was an unsupportive griping partner who would have spoiled the work, having a bustling household wherebye quarantining the main floorspace would have been impractical & a poor result guaranteed. But nowadays I only need concern myself with my young adult son, two sensible cats (they will avoid the floor) & a highly strung dog who will walk over a wet floor to make sure his bed is still there.  So, anyway with the risks managed by time, I'm chosen to begin & in this case, that is definitely that most difficult step. Clearing the floor space & preparing the house for a solid dusting & h...
