Hey Darcy, we probably need some good news stories.
Anything you can tell us about silver linings and blessings?

@HenryX Silver linings today include:
- The carpet quote man returning to pick up a sample that was left here so I could colour match when the window furnishings person came to quote - this saved me a trip to a regional centre which at present is difficult due to my husband's health.
- getting in the washing just before the rain started
- finding a new strategy to help me keep our home decluttered

All those things sound really positive.
I'm interested in the new house decluttering strategy, I could use one of those.

Hey @HenryX, did you know that @Determined enjoys taking a run on his motorbike too?
We've got one gathering dust in our carport, would love to have it running again. I'm the pillion passenger, Hubby's the one who has the license.

Hi Smc, thank you for your note and reference to determined. I'll have to apply the sentiment described in determined's forum name to my plans for riding on Sunday. I've been planning to get out on the motorbike for a week or two and have to give myself a little push now.
Best Wishes
HenryX
