Tuesday 15th October

 After a relaxing day yesterday I wound up my oxygen to max and tackled a job that's been winding me up for weeks...

The kitchen windowsill was in desperate need of a clean. Now just look at the shine! If cleanliness really was next to godliness I'd be very close to heaven. 

I bought those brown Betty teapots in my first term at university, nearly 50 years ago. That makes them almost vintage teapots!

I've discovered that cillit bang power degrease spray does a good job on windows as well. I think they've dried without streaking. 

I stop and admire the improvement every time I go into the kitchen. 

This is the little pile of notebooks (and also my kindle) that I continually carry around from the settee in the sitting room to my tiny worktable in the dining room.

From top to bottom;

Pencil/pen case, kindle, current Commonplace Book, books was notebook and daybook where all sorts of notes, lists, phonecalls etc get jotted down.

Although the stack does vary according to what I'm planning to do!
