6 hours sleep last night clearly wasn’t enough – the builders were finishing the fascia boards above my bedroom window as I woke and I’ve not really caught up since!

Still it wasn’t an unpleasant day (except for the headache) – weather fine, got outside to tidy up, started taming the leylandii at the front of the house – this will be speeded up now my parents have finshed with and returned my chainsaw (much fun dropping big trees near cars and houses, what could possibly go wrong………. gulp). The cat now has some food in the house (lucky cat) and I’ve finally broken my way into the box area hiding the stopcock for the house, which seems to be seized…… Well hopefully on Monday they’ll have the tools to sort that so they can turn off the water.

Hopefully.

I was planning to run the Accrington 10k tomorrow, but I’m not 100% and could do with catching up with the local bell ringers having not seen them for a little while due to work and running commitments. I’m hoping with a decent sleep I’ll be awake enough to call a quarter peal tomorrow too – not even rung an 8-bell QP since the summer, let alone called one, so it’ll be a test to see if my memory is recovering. Either way, it’ll be a ‘K.I.S.S’ composition to squeeze in some damage limitation there.
