Today I decided to tackle the area under the stairs which has become a dumping ground of magazines and knitting projects. I threw away many of the magazines and took the knitting upstairs to my 'sewing room' which is now too stuffed to turn around in!
Anyway my clearing out and sorting had two results. I found Jim's address book which I feared I had lost and I made a complete junkyard of the living room.
The address book I had used to wind some wool on that I was unravelling. This is a method I use to get rid of the crinkles in previously knitted wool which I want to reuse. I obviously picked up the nearest book to hand to wind it on.
Steve Pearce the new President of Rotary sent me the latest Newsletter which included an article on the development of the British Legion Site in Cowbridge. The old building was demolished several years ago and I have been waiting with interest to see what replaces it as I go past the site everyday when I walk Jasper. Recently work has started to build a block of eight flats. I spent some time on the Council site looking at the plans and printing them out. I was interested to find out how they are going to deal with the flooding problem on the site.
I have started to feed the birds again only this time I am not using the hanging bird feeders just putting a little food in a dish on the floor of the bird table. That way very little gets spilt on the ground and I am keeping an eye on the situation.
This post is number 100, although the actual number of postings is 102 because I started the day before Day 1 and sharp-eyed readers will have spotted I did two labelled Day 4! However I shall be carrying on a while longer doing daily posts until I am sure that our lives are getting back to something that resembles normality. After that who knows!

Sir Mark Sedwill, the UK’s most senior civil servant, has announced he will stand down in September, prompting anger from former colleagues who say he has been unfairly smeared by Boris Johnson’s aides over the government’s coronavirus failings and for supposedly blocking changes in Whitehall.
After weeks of tense negotiations over his job, Sedwill said in a letter to the prime minister that he would quit as cabinet secretary and head of the civil service. His other role as national security adviser will be taken by Johnson’s chief Brexit adviser, David Frost.
His departure will be seen as a victory for Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s most senior aide, who has had a tense relationship with Sedwill, and Michael Gove, the cabinet minister who is pushing through a restructuring of government departments.
Unnamed Downing Street sources told newspapers in March that Sedwill had failed to get a grip on the coronavirus crisis. Another source was quoted as saying that he had fallen out with Johnson and his aides over the response to Covid-19. In April, Cabinet Office insiders told the Guardian the claims were “shit-stirring” and “absolute crap”.
As cabinet secretary, Sedwill was supposed to coordinate the work of permanent secretaries as they grappled with the lockdown, supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE), food supplies, prison releases and coronavirus tests.

Tresco Abbey Garden is home to a collection of ships figureheads and other artefacts that come from shipwrecks that took place on and around the Isles of Scilly. First collected by Augustus Smith, the then Lord Proprietor of the Isles of Scilly, the figureheads soon formed a collection which Augustus named Valhalla.
Jim and I had 4 or 5 holidays in the Isles of Scilly - a lovely place especially the sub-tropical gardens on Tresco.
