I had last week off work as well. I was intending to carry on clearing out the house and tidying up the garden. The weather was perfect for working in the garden, if a little on the cold side.
Alas. My knee and therefore my hip continued to be very unhappy following the boat trip a week before. I bought a new knee brace which has worked well. It's a double brace so wraps around both over and under the kneecap. That helped, but I didn't think it wise to annoy my knee even further by weeding and digging and planting. However, it is a lot happier now. The weather is also holding firm - for now. I have plans for my little vegetable garden and for the beds along the back fence.
I have until Thursday of next week, when the photographer is coming to start the advertising of the house.
The handyman came on Friday to assess a couple of little jobs. He's coming back at the beginning of next week to do them.
I ordered some curtains for the little bedroom and have now hung them up (which more or less hides one of the little jobs that needs doing).
I have continued turning out cupboards and wardrobes.
I have done all the usual, day-to-day things.
And this week I head back to work.
But I've got to stop watching Selling Houses. It's very dispiriting when I look at the finished houses and then look round at mine and see all the things that need doing and which I possibly might do if I were planning to stay. Or not. Probably not 😂
The outside spiders were busy while I was away. I had de-webbed many of the windows before I went away. They need doing again. Not quite as badly but even so. I don't mind spiders. They are useful creatures. But I wish they weren't quite as untidy.
The cats have been enjoying the late autumn sunshine

Right. It's almost 9:00. I am not dressed yet. There is a lot to do today. I had better get wriggling
