Son no. 2's move to Brampton is done, with a couple of extra furniture items collected this morning and unpacking in the afternoon. All ready for an induction to his new job tomorrow morning.

The drive back to Yorkshire over the A66 was "interesting" in heavy rain and strong gusts of wind making the XLWB van wobble quite a lot.

SWMBO decorated the now-emptier house with Christmas stuff whilst I was away - something I wasn't sure she'd be doing as she has a seriously ill parent on the palliative care pathway.

Anti-bacterial in that it won't harbour germs

Morning.
Grey out but dry.
I have been resting , taking it easy these past 4 days. I think I must have some sort of a bug which has made me woozy and not with it. I'm feeling a bit more with it today and plan to go to Bath to do some Christmas shopping. I wonder if I will survive?

I am talking 1950 1960 council house and poor as church mice,i kid you not for extra warmth on the bed,old overcoats were chucked on.

I grew up in a Victorian terraced house, only heating was a gas fire in the living/dining room and an open fire in the front room we didn't use the front room in the week but after work on Friday my Dad would move the telly into the front room once us kids were in bed and in winter the fire would be laid to be lit Saturday lunchtime.
My bedroom was the little 'stuck out the back' room and I was no stranger to ice on the inside of the window and whilst we weren't exactly 'poor as church mice' but neither were we well off. Most of my clothes were 'hand me downs' from an older cousin and Mum and Nan were experts in unpicking old jumpers to be knitted afresh, worn sheets would be carefully cut and turned 'sides to middle' sewed together on my Mums old treadle Singer sewing machine and I didn't own a pair of socks that hadn't been darned (some multiple times)
