but life is a bit busy at present. Storms are forecast from this evening so Priscilla and I will be housebound for a few days. But I am having the perfect antidote in that I have heard from the Company accountant that at last the company can be 'wound up' which means that the seven years worth of accounts and books I have been storing in a cupboard can at last be disposed of. The law says that seven years accounts have to be kept - after which everything can be destroyed because of course the company no longer exists. In a way how lucky that this should coincide with a spell when I was going to be deprived of exercises. Because all the bending and stretching I am doing as I am exercising different muscles. Tonight I actually feel rather good although I am tired.
And what treasures I have unearthed - remember it is almost five years since I moved in here and put everything away in cupboards. In the first instance friend W asked me if I had kept the file of words from when I played with ukuleles and we went round various nursing homes and played for the elderly to sing along (the group is still exists but arthritis in my fingers makes playing too difficult). I couldn't find it anywhere but it was the first thing I came across this afternoon. Then I found my craft bag - I used to indulge in various crafts - knitting, crochet, quilting, beading all impossible now with my hand tremor which means I can't even thread a needle. Ispent an hour sorting it all out and have now sent a text to friend S saying will she please take it and anything she doesn't want can she put on the table at her next craft meeting for anyone to take. There must be more than twenty pairs of knitting needles so hopefully folk will notice a size they haven't got.
I have been worrying about all these accounts papers for a while, Mainly because it is a big job and not one I would wish my son to have to do after I am gone - at least I know what everything is.**
So what else is News. I hear on the News at Six that Prince Andrew has at last done the 'sensible thing' - this must be a great relief for the Queen in her special year because it was a bit of a blot hanging over things for a lady of ninety five.
And Russia has pulled some of its troops back from the brink - well at least that is a start.
And Jokovich has explained why he is willing to forego playing anywhere this year because he feels he is entitled to do as he wishes with his own body.
Oh goodness me, I only have to miss listening to the News for one day for me to get behind with it all. The world has moved on without me - and I don't suppose it will make a scrap of difference.
See you tomorrow. Cling on tight in the forthcoming storm.
** The accountant has an industrial shredder and all the material will go through that (what a boring job for somebody)
