I have to use the mobile version because I lost the paper I wrote my password on. I think I know what it is but I'm too afraid to try it on my laptop. I'm afraid I'll get locked out of TFO. I have an icon on my phone sooo my phone has to live forever and ever.

Great strategy! I resort to it a lot. [emoji23]

Good mornooning, roommates!
I forgot I had to clean the house this morning and used the break in the rain to do some geocaching. [emoji85]

Daughter, who goes to a Catholic school, convinced me that we all must “sacrifice” something for the Lent. And no, she didn’t think a human would be a good idea. So, I’m sacrificing my second cup of coffee and am down to one again, at least until Easter.

Time to catch up on the housework now. [emoji33][emoji33]

Oh dear. :( We really need a volunteer to do some spring cleaning here! @johnandjade was amazing at this. @Tidgy’s Dad also did a great job. So did Bea @Moozillion, I think. Who’s gonna do it this year?
Kathy, she did such a fantastic job on her mud vehicle.

I see you were out snapping at 0700. Nice skyline.

Another night with a no show by the Coon family. Our temperatures have really dropped way below freezing the last few nights. Ive noticed more coon activity as it warms up, and less when it cools down. Right now, 0630, it’s 19F, so I’m thinking they are sll nestled beneath their duvets.

Happy birthday wishes to @Toddrickfl1! :D

Happy birthday Todd!

Good afternooning everyone.

This week has run away with me.

Travelling home on Monday means I lost a day and there has been much to sort out.

We are setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney for my mum and the government office has messed up.

An LPA is a legal document where trusted individuals can be appointed to take control of someone else’s affairs if they lose capacity to make decisions themselves. The LPA has to be setup before the person loses capacity and only kicks in if it’s lost. Mum is perfectly OK at the moment, but this means my sister and I can can take over if anything happens.

Anyhow, Mum got a letter returning hers because she had failed to respond to a letter she hadn’t received. Enclosed with it were two letters to other people we had never heard of. In the UK (and the rest of the European Union) we have very strict Data Protection laws and this clearly breaches those laws. So I have been on the phone reporting the data breaches and arguing that it isn’t our fault we didn’t respond to a letter we didn’t receive... and we are concerned that missing letter was sent to someone else. Government departments are never easy to deal with [emoji849]

On top of that I have school governor meetings to read up for and somehow the chores need to be fitted in... especially laundry as I am running out of underwear :D

No peace for the wicked!

Anyhow I am feeling MUCH better this week, pretty much back to normal at last. I hope everyone else is doing OK :) x
