Stuff I hoped we'd get done this weekend, but we didn't

[ailbhe]

1. Cut grass
2. Clean cooker
3. Vacuum stairs
4. Vacuum three rooms and landing upstairs
5. Throw away dead houseplants (we've killed another spider-plant, this time through overwatering)
6. Vacuum two armchairs and the sofa
7. Tidy spare bedroom until it's almost fit to use as such
8. List stack of misc geek goods on Freecycle
9. Bring box of books to charity shop or otherwise get rid of them
10. Bake chocolate cake
11. Plan meals for the next two weeks and compile shopping list
12. Wipe down icky banister, doorhandles, other grimy icky bits people rub hands all over
13. Find Linnea's Little Red Book
14. Print Linnea's birthday invitations
15. Get blasted bunkbed parts out of the bloody master bedroom, dammit
16. Add paperback biographies to book catalogue
17. Add downstairs poetry and drama to book catalogue
18. Get dangerous DIY kit out of understairs cupboard
19. Sort "Linnea's" art equipment, not for my benefit, oh no, altruistic parenty stuff only, yessir
20. Buy stamps of various flavours for the address book pocket, which currently has no UK internal stamps, only post to US or Europe.

On the other hand, we all went swimming in the pool with waves, and then on to lunch. It was lovely. We bought Curse of the Were Rabbit too, and will watch it after dinner.

And Rob may have solved the bread-baking problem. We'll let you know, if so.

1. What grass?
2. Wiped a bit of much of it a couple of days ago. It'll keep.
3,4,6: did downstairs and the stairs
5. The orchid somebody gave us as a wedding present is still in flower - it has been continuously. Good gift, that was.
7. I tidied something up, but you can't tell now. I did get the motorsport vids put away.
8,9. Yeh, I really ought to do that. Or visit the tip. Again.
10. Cholesterol!
etc
We really MUST take Jack swimming. And we bought CotWR, but haven't got around to watching it yet. We're up-to-date with House and ER at least though.

Re 2: s/much of/muck off/

Spiderplants hate overwatering. All the other plants survived while I was away, but the little spiderplant on top of the telly is a few soggy brown leaves and a mushy pile. I think Rob was afraid he'd forget to water them enough.

We *do* kill spiderplants more than we kill any other kind of plants, though. It's most peculiar.
