Morning all
Apologies for the prolonged absence, life’s been doing what life can do to you and has been leaving me no room for manoeuvre or much sleep!
Anyway as I sit here over 100 miles from home waiting for the estate agents to come and value my mums house I realise that this might be the last run I have to do here for a while so why not risk saying Hi now?

Sorry if I’m behind on peoples news and ask daft questions.
I’ve thought of you all and how you’re doing many times, especially if there’s been a tasty morsel or an interesting food article.

Hopefully I’ll be back to contributing proper styley soon!

I was wondering how you are.

Trucking along juggling as many things as humanly possible without exploding
But think heading in the right direction now

Hope your UK trip went ok

Thank you. Much better than the previous one but I could still murder my MIL

Welcome back. You have been missed!
Don't worry about catching up. Just go with the flow

Color me stupid, but why is SandwichShortOfAPicnic at her Mother's? I lost something.

I don’t think we know the particulars, but it sounds like she’s readying her mum’s house for sale.

I'm sure she will chime in with further details, but from what I know her mum has been having memory issues for quite some time (she posted about that awhile back) and is now in a care facility.

Well damn it all!
Our hotel room bathroom door lock keeps locking all by its self!
AND I had to go, NOW!
Called to the front desk and the nice young gal said "...that happens alot, for no reason that they can figure out, I have a tool to unlock it for you, I'll be right up."
So her tool: a screw driver

I thought about after like the 10 millionth time I found the lock engaged as I went in ...

*phew*
That oughta do it!
