Life is a tad disrupted at the moment.
I was rather ill for a couple of weeks and the least said about that the better! Thank you to those who contacted me, though.
My lovely landlord has decided that the time had come to do various adaptations to my house to enable me to live there as long as possible, so it has been decided to create ramped access at both the front and back doors, ramped access to my garden, modifications to some of the doors and to replace the bathroom with a wet room. And today work has started on the wet room.
And my landlord thinks that there will be a considerable trip hazard while the wet room is being created, and as for the time being there won't be a loo, it has been decided that I have to go to a holiday "cottage". So I am staying at this lovely property about eight miles from home and am treating the time as a holiday.
