Today we spent the day clearing up. So many things around the house that need sorting and tidying away. I started with a great big pile of ironing that was just looking at me and begging to be done. i actually like ironing, I like the smoothing ut of creases and making everything look good. The bedding is a trial, but is worth it for the luxury on the bed. Trouble is it comes out of the drier looking so creased but thats the cotton.
VT did all the outside things, recycling, and it is bins day tomorrow so he had to get those round to the front. Must admit I do hate wheelie bins, they are a real blot on the lamdscape these days. Then i sorted out a big pile of magazines for recycling, at least they are one step nearer the front door!
VT did a bit of mending on my hering aid last night. The fixative that the audiologist used only lasted three days, and that wasn't with heavy use either. It's not like they get moved a lot, they get put in first thing in the morning, and stay there till bedtime. So, he went on the internet to see if you could use superglue on them, and you can. So he sat down with the superglue, and fixed it. He is terrific at fixing things, loves fiddling with stuff.He would have made a good audiologist actually, pity he didn't get more of an education, he should have gone to grammar school. I wonder what he would have been if he had. We were the secondary modern generation, factory fodder, and shop work, and maybe the apprentices. Certainly not universities, or colleges. How things have changed.
Seems that the school holidays are on now. We wondered why there were kids around Sainsburys yesterday. VT was talking to the lady in our local shop this morning, and she said one mum was in talking about her children, and she had worked out that they were only in school for seven days in April!!! These teachers are having a good time these days!!
Tonight we are having:
Sausages in a mushroom gravy
Mashed potatoes
Cabbage and leed steamed and sauteed.
