I'm trying to troubleshoot as much as I can before getting on the horn to someone, as any error on my part is likely to be expensive. But all the lights here are running on the dim side - even the ones that plug into sockets rather than fixtures. The kitchen strip light takes an age to start.
As I have three circuits for lights and one for sockets, the issue is global. With the lights, it's like I've swapped out the bulbs and replaced them all with ones of lower wattage.
The lightbulb in the sitting room failing is coincidental, I think.

I have been doing more down-sizing. If I start this year, I might complete the task in 
five years, or more!
I now have an empty drawer in the filing cabinet. (Even allowing for the fat, but will soon be thin, files). I also have a pile of paper and card to reuse, so only one side has printing.
Another quiz question for peeps to answer. Why, later in January, will I be sat in the Band Stand in the local park when I not planning to be play a musical instrument?
For clarity, I will not be alone.

It's a good place to have a social outside, as there's a roof over your head, but the sides are open to the elements.

In other news, some Helen Bores, and Rim Proses are in flower in tubs in the back garden. A friend gave me the original Proses ooh.. about 
a quarter of a century ago. They needed lifting and dividing last autumn, and I temporarily put them in pots. They seem to like that, perhaps they are more sheltered.
The Hellebores can be very attractive. But they often cross-pollimate and you end up with wishy washy colours. This year I will be digging up the drab ones, to be replaced with brighter colours.

Okay, correct, but I will be doing something in particular, rather than just socialise. It is something that you would normally do indoors.

Absolutely not! My singing repetoire begins and ends with "Magic Moments" by Perry Como.

Knitting or sewing?

Well done! Yes it is a "Craft" group, mainly knittying or crochet.
No tuition is involved, but hopefully we will gather socially. If it could be in the original location, there would be tea and cake on offer. The organiser is not sure about the social distancing requirements, so decided to choose an outdoor location for people to meet. I spose that if we then want to wander off for tea and cakes, we can do so, but at our own "risk" in established shop(s) geared up for distancing.
I think that organisers of these sort of activities are understandably confused about what peeps can or cannot do, and they want to be very cautious.
