um Apr 2020 11:38am, 9 Apr 2020 2,062 posts	Quote Pin um In this lockdown / isolation period, are there jobs that you still haven't got round to doing? Yes, the lawn is cut, the hedge is trimmed, the home office is tidied. But, eg for me, - cleaning the oven is still not done - repainting the water stained home office ceiling - even though we replaced the leaky shower above it 3 years ago - washing, or god forbid, polishing the cars (seems the neighbours favourite activity)

We told her that it was 20 years old and held together by that dirt. But the police cannot read the number plate she replied. Yes, that's how they know we are local, was our retort

The rest...I honestly can't remember when they were done. Washing the stone, white-painted window sills on the front of the house. Actually, now I've said that, I think that'll be my 'worthwhile job' for tomorrow. Maybe.
