It is a scorching hot day here and, at 5:25pm, as quiet as the grave out there. I don't know if there's something going on - someone mentioned something about a football tournament but...

I was up at 7:30 this morning (very unusual for me) with a list of things to do as long as my arm and, believe it or not, I've done most of them. I have finally cleared the nasty sticky carpet tape from my upstairs landing. I have finally put up the blind in my bedroom from which I have hung all my earrings (realising I've lost one or two along the way). I've finally sorted out the various hard drives attached to my laptop and shredded a load of unwanted files and I've finally bought some plants for the stone trough in my back garden. In between all this I've done three loads of washing (now drying on the line), delivered a birthday card to my brother, cleared a few more stinging nettles from the back garden and started transferring my mum's old talking book tapes to her hard drive so that she can listen to them again without fear of the tape breaking.

All in all a good day - now I need a rest!
