Sitting (and working) in the sun at Great Haywood

It's possible that Sheila might be needed as an emergency babysitter over at Lincoln tomorrow (no alarums, just a sudden change of plan for Graeme, who's had to go away suddenly), so to make the logistics simpler, we've stayed at Great Haywood today, enjoying the warm, sunny weather. That way, Elanor can pop over here, collect Sheila and take her over there.

We took advantage of the situation to do some serious spring cleaning. Sheila ran a washload whilst the engine was running for battery charging purposes, and hung it out on the whirligig to dry. After lunch, we swept and then washed the whole floor, and I polished the shelves and panelling with Pledge.

After a break to recover, we cleared everything out of the well deck, and Sheila washed it whilst I took a load of recycling to the bins.

We're now just waiting to hear from Cathy if she needs Sheila over there.

It means we're not sure what we'll be doing tomorrow. If Sheila goes off, I may put in an extra night here, and then gently single hand towards Penkridge on Monday. If Sheila's still here, we'll do that tomorrow instead.
