    Clari - houses are like gardens - always something that needs doing or planning to be done!   Just dn't make a list.  You'll frighten yourself.   My list is in my head so OH doesn't panic.

     Ob, amen to that .......we had a dreadful smell for a couple of weeks and I was complaining to MIL about the five cats ......and she in turn would come back with 'they are cleaner than humans you know' image

    Finally we got one of our brave local handymen to go under the house and he discovered that the soil pipe to the septic tank had burst......well it is the house that Jack/Ivan built .......sorry MIL/catsimage

    Morning all. 

    Clari, My ex wife, and both my daughters had ME and all 3 were different in some way. My younger daugher , probably, still has it, after many years, to some degree but just lives with it.

    More rain overnight so the garden is sodden.

    Test results back from RD&E Hospital. "Normal" so no further forward.image

    Morning everyone!

    OH and I have decided we like lists, otherwise if we leave a job for a few weeks (as happened with the renovation of the garden bench), when we get back to it we forget what needs doing next, and which bit of wood goes where...  image  It's silly, because we could easily finish it in a couple of days, but those couple of days need to be guaranteed dry... can't really get away with applying dark green Hammerite indoors, especially not when accompanied by a curious (and currently white) cat.

    I'll second Pat's comments about your latest jigsaw picture, Fairy.  Love the one you posted here this morning, too.  Have you published any of your photos?  They're certainly good enough.  image

    Your day sounds perfect, Obelixx.  If only you could order some proper overnight rain...

    Our son visited the (legendary) cheese stall in our market on Saturday, because his pregnant wife has a craving for the stuff (better cheese than coal, I guess).  He left it behind in the fridge when he rushed away to catch his train last night.  I think we might have to consume it - four different sorts, I think - and replace with fresh next time we visit...  image image image

    Usually "normal" would be good, but I see what you mean, Hosta.

    Hope you make some progress with the eye, LilyP.

    Yvie, if you look in, hope today is wonderful!

    Dove, careful with the knee...

    What a right, royal pain in the danglers about your results. image

    Thanks Liri. I've never though of submitting any, to be honest, although I've sent some to the BBC Scottish News site online where they post a page of people's pix. Never had any on it though. I wouldn't have thought  mine would be good enough to publish anywhere. Some of the ones on the walking site are astonishing, but there are a few professionals on that. It's a real joy looking at their photos. I've just been sorting yesterday's. I'll get around to posting some later if I can. I thought of you yesterday when they were diverting to Oban because of the accident atGlencoe. It was a bit of a shambles, as the police weren't at the right place at the right time...image

    Four types of cheese....image

    LP- hope all goes well. The waiting is often the worst bit. 

    Do you think it's dry for Dove's 'flitting' ? image 

    Anyone seen doc? Not seen Topbird on here recently either...

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

     It would help if I could stop changing my mind long enough to actually get things established. I've done a full lap of where I want the vegetable patch going for starts!

    Clari I carried a picture around in my head of how I wanted my bathroom done. I visualised it for so long that by the time it came to doing it I was fed up looking at it! I did it completely differently. image
