That sounds like a good trip, GWRS! Hope the garden and allotment have been behaving themselves while you were away.
Dacha, the two young Russian teachers who stayed with us a few years ago were astonished to be taken to a wedding here (of my niece), and find that although there was NO BOOZE they had a remarkably good time.
Obelixx, I don't envy you the redecoration of that room... but having a downstairs bedroom is clearly a good way to "future proof" your home. When we can't manage stairs (or hopefully a short while before!) we'll have to move. No downstairs loo and nowhere to put one, 27 stairs in the house, 50 steps to get to the front door. OH would be lost without a view, though, so I think we might need to start looking soonish.
I have the opposite problem with jeans, being a sort of upside-down-pear shape. If they fit over the hips they won't do up round the waist... ...so hipster jeans are good for me, if I can stop them falling down. (Is anyone a standard size, I wonder?)
I wonder if it'll dry up enough to cut the grass. Anyway, it definitely feels like the right sort of day to try out the new incinerator.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I find it hard to imagine what they'd look like. Did you know, for example, that all women have exactly the same length arms? I bet you'll find really tall women all wear slip on shoes - they couldn't possibly reach to tie up their laces.
Lovely still day here, too - if I had a new incinerator I'd definitely be trying it out today
Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
Being of a curvier persuasion, I find that an adult version of the old schoolboy favourite the elastic 'S' belt absolutely invaluable to wear with jeans I have several ... you can buy them on Ebay.
Just had a phone call to book my MRI scan ... I had the choice of 5.15 this afternoon or 2.15 tomorrow ... I chose tomorrow (we've got F&C at Cromer programmed in for this afternoon ).
Flippin 'eck ... he said it wouldn't be too long but that's amazing!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Haven't seen those on sale for donkey's years Dove, hence putting elastic in my jeans. Philippa, I think, advised me to try Etam for shapely jeans but they're all too low on the hips for me. I've only recently started wearing them again after finding none to come even close to fitting me between the ages of 16 and 50 odd.
Pdoc - check out the pigeon protectors in the photo on these lettuces - cheap, easy and effective as long as frosts aren't a problem.
Definitely need a view and plenty of light Liri. Hosta's hubby says I should neuter those walls with grey first.

2 dead: one on lane outside, and one just along the road. i fear one of them must be Spikey.
Fingers crossed I'm wrong and he'll turn up for supper at 7.30 tonight. I'm not holding my breath.
On " former nightmare tenants" front. Guess what came here this morning? A summons !!
So they've STILL not changed their address. Letting agent is livid and Postie is fixing a Royal Mail " gone away" sticker to it and sending it back. He says that's normally enough to stop anything else coming. Fingers crossed again.
Good news re scan Dove. Have I ever said before " I LOVE the NHS"?

I regularly have to alter the sleeve length of things as the sleeve covers my hands!!

Fascinating to hear all you ladies discussing your shapes.
I have been trying to think what mine is, answer ball shaped.

Depends how much I have had for dinner, Dove.
Like the look of those cloches Obelixx.
