Peepo!

I've had to move the rocking chair in front of the bookshelf to stop Syd stealing - and eating - photo albums. The problem is that it's not big enough to form a protective barrier for the filing tray I keep of spare paper and used but re-usable padded envelopes.

So this morning I decided to tidy my filing trays and be ruthless: if I've not needed something for the last five years I'm not going to need it now. (Actually Sod's Law says I will.) I find I have more notebooks than - I don't know. Who's someone who would need a lot of notebooks? A reporter maybe? And as I use roughly one padded envelope a year my stock will outlast me. And as for used paper I've cut up as scraps for notes . . .

One of the half-used notebooks dates back 56 years: my A-level physics notes.


I used to understand that!

Wales play the All Blacks this afternoon. My phone just showed me Wales 14:10 All Blacks. I got very excited . . . until I realised that was the time of kick-off. I am expecting us to be thrashed. But I have a family birthday tea party afterwards to help me recover.

Meanwhile while out this morning we played peepo.
