Spent yesterday sorting out the crap upstairs and making it presentable for visitors. G cleaned out the garage and tidied up the front lawn. Took my car in for the big clean and it came back looking like new, only the brakes have now gone so I have to take it on Monday to be fixed. Driving back from the car wash I could press the brake pedal down to the floor and still couldn't stop quickly, and then the brakes stuck on and it was very difficult to get the thing moving!
Also went, yesterday, over to some friends for a 'Fish n Chips' lunch. Apparently it's some kind of Good Friday tradition (not sure if it is just them, or Canadians generally!) but it was very nice and good company.
By the end of yesterday my stomach was tightening with Braxton Hicks contractions due to having done too much, so by the evening I flopped onto the couch and stayed there until 10.15pm when I could stay awake no longer and headed up to bed where I had 10 hours of glorious uninterrupted sleep.
Today am popping off to that hell hole known as IKEA to get some cushions for D's new 'couch' in his room (single bed in disguise), the supermarket, and then back to clear out my study... roll on Monday when all this dreadful tidying and cleaning will be over.
