Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Jab done 
We got a call from James earlier whose in the Cotswolds saying that all the "smart" stuff in their house has stopped working. They had solar installed last week and he was worried that they had no electric and the freezers weren't working so Alan raced over there and all is good with the electrics. It must be a network issue. A modern problem.

Thank you Helen. This one's not too bad, apart from the waiting - it's OH's ENT on Wednesday that's loaded with consternation.
His team's nice and very thorough, but they seem to be actively looking for problems before we've had a chance to sit down. I'll be glad when it's Thursday.
Take care and enjoy the chicken

Afternoon Gill. I think that many (most?) products these days are designed by engineers then trimmed down by accountants to last fractionally longer than any warranty given. Take the accountants away and it's fairly easy to make things that can last for much longer but, with competition being so fierce, those companies often go bust.
My clothes drying antics are very similar to yours. No tumble dryer here either. I rarely use the washing line outside because the pigeons are expert bombers. I've mentioned gravy boats before (washing up play time). I don't think I've mentioned the electric boat I made from the upper body of an old Morphy Richards iron which looked boat shaped. It needed a bit of extra displacement to float with the battery and motor weight as well as the steel hull but was more entertaining than a rubber duck in the bath 
. I'll post a photo of it if I can find batteries for my camera. The Mac's camera is awkward to use and no smartphone here. xxx
Afternoon Ray 
I'll scribble this hurriedly as we're now sitting in the Doc's waiting room.
I think you're so right about the accountants and warranties callyfudging - every time we buy an appliance there's always the question of would we like to pay for future repairs etc. I've never taken any of the offers up as I'm an untrusting bod. Hey ho.
Anyway, hopefully we'll get a photo of your 'iron' destroyer
