Ringing in the ears

The telephone's gone into meltdown today, so we've diverted all calls to the other line and are using a rather crackly radio phone as our only link with the outside world.

Just finished breakfast (only 6 today) while L is on the phone to her Sis in South Africa to wish her happy birthday. I have the lounge bar to clear and then a quick stocktake after which I'm off to Glasgow to get the remaining stuff removed from our Glasgow flat.
