Unfortunately, Hubby suffers from lots of serious phobias, gets anxiety attacks which can last several weeks, he was already getting very stressed at the idea of having work done, makes him physically ill, (a result of his Mother walking out when he was 7, going off with another man, (unfortunately, no councelling in the 60s) he was in total meltdown by yesterday, took a sleeping tablet and was up at 1.30, Luna was whining, she wanted to go out, but didnt like the wind/rain and flapping tarp. They normally have a dog flap, she could sense tension, and was upset herself.
Sorry to hear about OH's BIL, BL. Was it unexpected?
Glad things are getting sorted out, NannyB.
And I don't know when I last posted on here but just in case I thought it instead of writing it - woohoo to DD re CdeG, it sounds like a fantastic success and I'm so pleased for you.
In full-on 'last week of primary school' madness here. I think we had an autograph book to take around friends and teachers when I left primary school, other than that I don't remember a thing. Now: hoodie, yearbook, camping, picnic, sports day (OK, that would have happened anyway), play, leavers' assembly, activity day... oh and an autograph book! It's all very nice, but a bit OTT. I think her teacher thinks I'm very hard-hearted.
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
LG for leaving primary school I got a dictionary (still have it signed by the headteacher), we performed a play for the rest of the school that we made ourselves, and we had a barn dance (with fish and chips). That was in the mid 90s!
Evening all - didn't have time this morning and you've all been very chatty!
It looked like that here this morning too Pat. Single figures till the mist cleared and it got a bit sunny and 16 degrees by lunchtime, then a bit more sun and up to eighteen degrees later. Perfect for me to potter outside after work.
She'll be fine chicky - and I'm sure you will be too. Really hard, but exciting at the same time
Sorry about your bad news BL. Hope your hubby is ok.
I've heard that thing about kiwi fruit too, but I don't know much about it. I used to use the alphabet method of getting to sleep. You pick a subject and then go through the alphabet finding an item on that subject with each letter. If it was plants, you could do Acer, Bergenia, Ceanothus and so on. You can make it harder by confining it to a type of plant - shrubs or perennials only, and I sometimes made it three plants per letter. I found it worked quite well.
There are lots of houses being built like that up here Hosta. I passed loads of them last weekend. They suit our environment, especially further north. When we holidayed a couple of years ago, there was a beautiful house in the same lane as the cottage we stayed in. All the houses were the usual stone built traditional styles, but this was as you describe. Very Scandinavian. It looked fantastic.
Not mentioning the tennis.....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hello ... We're back ... Spent most of the day at Cromer ( yes, in Norfolk). a walk along the front ( nice and smooth for my foot) an ice cream and a coffee, then a walk back and half an hour laying on the pebbles watching the clouds ( couldn't walk over the pebbles to the sand) then a drink on the pier and eventually to Galton Blakiston's fish & chip restaurant for very fine plaice and chips. A very good day indeed.
I'm absolutely shattered.
I tecorded the tennis ... Shall I watch it
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Evening,

Ha ha Clari - didn't see your post before I wrote mine, but it illustrates my point rather well!
LG for leaving primary school I got a dictionary (still have it signed by the headteacher), we performed a play for the rest of the school that we made ourselves, and we had a barn dance (with fish and chips). That was in the mid 90s!
I think on leaving day at primary school, we just said " good-bye"
None of that ponsy stuff.
