Sorting out the TARDIS
We’ve cleared it out, but today was a final sort out and tidy. Here is a pano to kind of give you an idea of how big this is: Yes, that is a pool table and two couches, along with a cupboard behind that door on the right.

My father has Alzheimer’s

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Not PUBG, (although I did get an Arcade Solo win earlier) but games night. Jack came over and we played the Discworld Ankh-Morpork game. I won being Vimes. First we went into town for a wander round the farmers market. But 👦🏼 was more interested in climbing the Dundee Dragon when we stopped for lunch…
