Today I began by bringing the new folding gas heater through into the warm part of my house. I’d read the instruction book and decided I could probably do this. ( set it up.)

Huh!!

It looked like I should fix the hose onto the heater and the  other thing. “Straightforward” I thought.

But the hose was so tight that I couldn’t get it on either end. Not sure if it needs more strength or there’s a knack I don’t have.

So giving up on that I decided that I could at least screw the frame together.  There were different kinds of screws and things, but the instructions merely say ” screw it together.” After half an hour I put it back in the box and left it for another day.

Next job was to empty the recycling, etc cupboard so I could lay away my new food supplies which would soon arrive.

It was very satisfying tidying things away. I found several things I’d forgotten about.

And it got better.

After thinking about it for a week or two I finally ordered a back rest cushion to make sitting, writing in bed more comfortable.

An hour later when I noticed it would be delivered overland and might not arrive until the end of March I cancelled it.

Then I had an idea.

I made a big fat comfortable supportive pillow using all the clothes I was going to throw out to stuff it. It was easy to sew up the sides of one of the scarves I bought to paint. And it works! It’s  actually quite comfortable….I thought it might have been a bit lumpy.

It’s so much warmer today. 

I found time to change the background in one of the portraits.  Plan is to completely finish them both tomorrow. 

Very satisfactory day. I love being organised.
