Finished emptying the loft.

Saturday 13 June.

 

I was feeling quite good after breakfast, I had had not a bad night's sleep. My ear was beginning to get better and was only got painful occasionally then I took a couple of pain-killers. Feeling a bit energetic I decided to go up into the loft and finish off there. There was only a few odds and ends scattered about that I had to pick up then I got the vacuum cleaner up. I hoovered up all the little bits of plastic bags and rat droppings. Once I finished it was looking quite tidy. When I was vacuuming I came across a little dead mouse and the remains of a large rat. To prevent any further rodents nesting up there I put a packet of rat killer down in the middle. Moira went out and bought another couple of packets of warfarin and I put these at either side. So the whole of the attic should be covered. I took the ladder down and replaced the trap door, that should be all the work finished up there now.

 

I spent the rest of the day reading, doing the 'Telegraph' prize crossword and listening to ClassicFM on the radio. Moira had finished emptying boxes and bags and was now putting away things she had washed and wanted to keep. She washed a lot of the bedding, sheets and duvet covers, and when they were dry I help her to fold them up neatly. We haven't decided yet how much we are going to send back and how much we need to leave here now we have decided to keep the house. Stutterford's the removals company should be contacting us next week and when we find out what they charge then we will see how much to send to Scotland.

 

For dinner Moira made avocado with tomato and mayonnaise as a starter which was very nice but when it came to the main course, pork chop potatoes and veg I didn't feel so good and couldn't eat any. I just had an apple that was all I could manage. There wasn't anything to watch on the TV, no sport tonight. I put on the Freeview recorder and watched a few programmes from that. There was an old 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads', the north country detective 'Inspector George Gently', and we finished off with an episode of 'Mash' that we didn't remember having seen before.

 

It was 10 pm when we got to bed. I had trouble getting to sleep again. At first there was somebody playing loud music somewhere but fortunately it only lasted for about 15 minutes. After that I lay for about 2 hours then I must have got to sleep but wakened a few times to visit the loo.
