time for the new question on 52Q, what am i grateful for right now?

last year we had problems with birds nesting in our loft, until we got someone into fill the holes. this year the birds keep trying and on discovering they cant get in, all decide to poo on my car in protest. so today i washed said car. it could have been a mess, as one of our buckets had had turps in but Other Half couldnt remember which bucket. well, its now been 3 hours and all paint appears to still be on my car.

i made another dolly dress. i didnt manage to make the pleats even so its a bit squiffy:
