I didn't do much. Changed the sofa covers from grey ones to white.

Then randomly looked up 'Origins of surnames', only to find one of my Cornish 5 x great grandfathers, Richard Messer (born 1775) has an Ashkenazic Jewish name meaning 'cutler' or 'knife'! :-S

...but there are 'Messers' in Cornwall in 1589, so I think they may have settled in :-D

Defrosting the freezer, it was that bad but still needed a couple of hours, sheets all round it, needed to put the trays outside, anyway it is nearly ready for me to put stuff back in now but a cuppa first.
What are you all up to today?
