14C, sun on hills, rain in valley. Maybe we all need to move to Scotland...
Off to see a friend in the town in a few minutes, to help her sort out her knitting. Don't know how I've become the local knitting guru... I think I've been lured by the promise of coffee and her hubby's yummy home-made biscuits.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I keep recordings of gardening progs and documentaries for days like this Busy when I just need to flop and breathe. I also have my lovely new Geoff H DVDs for the sewing room so I can now go and sew in peace with the door closed against helpful young felines.
Set to get warmer over the weekend with stormy bits again on Sunday - not too severe I hope as there's a 3-day equestrian event (compressed into 1 day) on Sunday in Moutiers and it'll be better with unspooked horses. I shall go to the vide greniers on Saturday and either the dressage or show jumping part on Sunday.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Hey everyone. I'll join the weather grumbles - I notice that our rain is supposed to clear later today so may manage some evening gardening. The rest of the week is basically fine on the times I am in work, and rain on days off - typical!
Garden Centre lunch has been down-graded to indoor picnic today. My Dad wants me to sort through his "best crockery" cupboard so might be inheriting some bits and bobs!
Im not grumbling about the weather! It 19d here, I HAVE done my washing, got it out cut the grass and the edges. My youngest son has a complex bi-polar disorder, spent years wanting to end it, depression caused by not getting a diagnosis or much in the way of help, says it drives him nuts when people moan about the weather, I have pretty much joined his way of thinking, if you are alive and reasonably healthy much to be glad about, weather is as weather does, its only like a box of chocolates if someone throws away the sheet that tells you whats in the box LOL. So, I think I AM going to be watering later.
I noticed that the pink Prunus in the Village is flowering today. ?
Hubby can't stop coughing! I'm Feeling a bit down - just worried, I guess. The pharmacist told me to take him to a doctor instead of trying to buy cough medicine. I was rather irritated with him ( my usual really good pharmacist has retired) especially when I rang Hubby at home and said I would try to get him an appointment - he refused point blank to go to a Dr. I've gone to the opposition chemist shop and bought dry cough medicine and it has helped a bit.
A helpful woman in the second shop told me to keep an eye on him in case he gets pain in his back or chest - could turn to pneumonia. Great! Just what I needed to think about.

We have rain skirting around us and just missing! Frustrating - http://www.meteo60.fr/radars-precipitations-pluie-france.php

Obs, quite seriously, it feels like Autumn here.
So I've heard. Time to start wishing for decent last half of August or maybe an Indian summer? Planning your winter break?

It's a coffee creme and Turkish delight day here today but I'm hoping for nuts and praline tomorrow
