Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, very busy, very exhausting day today, but I've finally got light throughout the downstairs of the house and hopefully the right set of three light shades in my basket ready for tomorrow.

I've definitely got one, potentially two Freeglers coming for the lightshades tomorrow and I've definitely gotta remember to put the rubbish and recycling out tomorrow 'cos they are gonna be full and I've gotta refill my new dosette box too.

My phone and Visible are getting a touch of emergency juice to see them through the night but I'm gonna start to shut everything down and head off to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (13th December 2025) I'm grateful for...

...the electrician fixing my airlock light, replacing 2 lightbulbs and telling me what to look for with new lightshades.

He accidentally left his screwdriver here so I've emailed him to let him know, along with the potential new lightshades to see if they are the right ones and I'll willingly and gratefully pay him as soon as he sends me the invoice.

Today has been a good day.

...relax!

I've got a full set of working lights in the whole house now and the lightshades that I got were the wrong ones because the hole was way too big, but I've found some different ones that I've sent the URL to the electrician for before I buy them just to make sure.

I think I've earnt my third creamy hot choccie of the day now!

Today's (13th December 2025) lunch photo

My second meal of the day is a gorgeously me-friendly creamy drinking chocolate with vegan squirty cream that I hadn't sprayed when I took the photo otherwise it would have melted!

Here's today's lunch photo:

That's the...

...majority of my towels washed, dried, folded and put away and the last two are just finishing off in the machine then they will be done and dusted too.
