BroadAmbition Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 I slept for nine hours solid. My legs no longer ache more than the rest of me. This morning the w/c is blocked. Joy of joys. I’ve got to de-store both van and B.A. sort out the throne, apply varnish. Onwards and upwards Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
