There’s a hint in Scotland’s daily covid numbers that we might be over the worst, for this wave anyway. Fingers crossed. Hoping it’s not just a Monday reporting glitch.

I'm feeling stressed - the water pipes are clunking in my kitchen ceiling again! Fortunately, the new ceiling has not yet been skimmed*** so I can take the plasterboards down to get at the pipes and fix them to the joists properly.
*** I kept putting it off despite my landlady's attempts to get it done for me. I didn't want potentially Covid-plague-ridden plasterers coming in during lockdown. I also realised that there is another problem which is that the floor above the ceiling is not strong enough. When I walk across the bathroom floor I can feel (and hear) the floor flexing. No point in getting the ceiling below skimmed until that is sorted out because the plaster would soon crack.

But... you (presumably!) are usually clothed?Think yourself lucky.....it's 13C here.Suits me though as I am more comfortable when it's a bit cooler.

I’ve just finished catching up on Vigil. Break while I have supper, then watching Silent Witness at 9.Has everyone gone to bed early tonight? The telly can't be that good.
The wind is picking up outside, there is heavy rain forecast for the early hours of the morning and most of the day.

I can't go to bed early otherwise I will be awake at 2pm . True that there is nothing worth watching on tv tonight so it will be youtube and possibly Prime until bed time.
Planning on going for a ride tomorrow depending on the weather.

I'm enjoying it though I think some of the parts on the boat are dull.
