In the category of things I don't understand (and, for that matter, the category of things which it may be better not to think too much about) - I discovered Sophie's recorder on the floor next to the loo when I was cleaning in there this morning.

Bobby has spent the whole day at the new house working on the floor, and I have spent the whole day here cleaning and tidying. This place had got really icky over the last while, since all our energy has been going into working at the other house, and the messiness was depressing me. I feel much better about life now that we are living in a clean house again. Well, I say living in a clean house, but I should really say living in a cleaner house. This place will never come properly clean, it is just too old and (literally) mouldy. The window frames, for example, are just frightening - they are actually rotting in some places. But, not too much longer and we will be out of here, thank goodness!

And, on an unrelated note because I don't have an email address for Angela - Angela, how have you been? I have missed hearing about your life! (My current email address is momonthemove@gmail.com, by the way.)
