We've finally located not one but two plasterers willing to give a quote on making the chimney breast flat enough to fix a fireplace to it. This has taken nearly a month as the job's 'too small'. We'd quite like the artex ceilings flattened or skimmed or whatever they call it, which would make it a bigger job but we're both too knackered to contemplate the upheaval or the input required from us. Just let us have a real fire, dear universe. Please. 5. That tweet (see entry before last) inspired someone to send me pictures of Rosemary West and Myra Hindley under a hashtag 'not all women'.

I won't go back to my timeline for god knows how long now - I do not want to see those faces staring right at me, linked to my name. I am grateful for: friends; photos; strategies to keep me just the right side of the line; art group tomorrow; om Sleep tight xxx 1:30 a.m. - 30.10.15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
