After a busy week at work, I didn't have much energy to do anything much this evening, but did manage to  wash up and squeeze the rest of the white dinner service set into the dresser. Tomorrows jobs: I need to fill up some holes and cracks in floor boards where they don't meet the external wall by the window in my bedroom – I removed the mould last weekend that was in this area and hoping that filling all the gaps will solve the problem. I also need to OB1 my bathroom window seals and if that doesn't work I will need to get the double glazing replaced, as mopping up condensation every day on these windows –  and yes, I have an extractor fan and open the windows.

58mph+ winds forecast for Friday and Saturday. Temperatures dropping over the weekend. Sunday looks the best day to go out. Monday temperatures drop to 3 degrees and sleet showers forecast for the week.
