Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Wet.

It has rained all day with the occasional spell of lighter rain.
Although I've just walked down to the shop for some milk by the sound of the rain drumming on the roof of my study I will need to drive to disco aerobics tonight. 
Choir last night was good. Reluctant as I am to go out in the evening once I'm there I enjoy the singing and the people are really nice too.
I had some fun when we began learning a new song. For once the bass section had a catchy tune and rhythm (though for the life of me I can't recall it now). The sopranos had just one note and the altos and tenors each had two notes for the whole song. When the suggestion was made for an extra person or two to join the bass section of three I jumped at the chance. A whole tune instead of two notes? Two of the guys were singing low bass and one an octave higher so I joined in with the higher version. The very last line of the song was a bit too high for me so I'll try and drop down an octave for that one next time we sing it.    

Today my spring cleaning efforts moved to the bathroom. Peter keeps it clean (I do the second toilet aka the blue loo) so I thought all I had to do was turf out the cupboards and give them a wipe down then do the mirrors. I couldn't detect any mustiness in the spare towels but they are being aired anyway. 
What I wasn't expecting was having to scrub the lino. Not Peter's fault as he can't get down on his knees and just mops the floor. But textured non-slip lino collects dirt in the little dips and really needs scrubbing. Safety is more important than ease of cleaning so I shall be scrubbing the floor every now and again.
I did my cleaning around our three hour Welsh class, a bit before, some in the break and the rest after. In class we're doing a lot of chatting (in Welsh) in break-out rooms so I guess we are making progress.
