Polishing my halo and looking for my flippers

Today has been one to be proud of, so far. There has been a fair imitation of domesticity going on and laundry, dishwashers and cat trays have all been dealt with. There has been much moving of boxes in the workroom and even some movement of stuff between boxes, in an attempt at organisation. I …
