2022 - What I did today

Finally got round to replacing the 5m curtain rail in the lounge that I broke when fly swatting a moth ago. Unpacked the Swish box and there were bits missing. Getting much action from the supplier on a Friday afternoon wasn't too successful. P was hoping it was just a replacement rail that would hook on existing wall brackets but no they've changed the wall brackets since the last one went up in 1985 so he wasn't too pleased, then he saw plaster cracks that, of course, had to be dealt with. We got the rail up thinking it was like for like but this one is 4" longer so the batten with the brackets on is too short, we will take it down again today and cut it to fit. I put the curtains in the wash and hung them out, half an hour later it rained so stopped eating dinner to scurry getting them in. Then what to do with them? We've had a hallway draped with drying curtains all night, it's a bit of an obstacle course. THEN I look at the nice dry curtains this morning and they have some holes in them probably from the agitation the washing machine and th fact that the material probably 38 years old (I don't redecorate often, if ever). Look at it this way I have nice clean curtains decorating my hallway.
