Hope everyone had a nice evening. I took your advice Joyce, I've planned nothing but Pottering all weekend!
Thank you all for well wishes for Hubby's family at such times we have to rely on no news is good news for now and hope for the best.
Feeling much more myself this morning, stiff neck but I am not planning to strain myself!
Obelixx, I hope you had a lovely dinner with Possum, you dinners always sound delicious! looking forward to having the time this weekend at look at the picture threads, that castle looks incredible!
Hosta, Dove and OH have stopped off on the way back for another little visit, think they are back Sunday. Sounds like your holiday will be just perfect, sun and friends! Hope you have a lovely time x
Fairy, I hope the weather is good and you get up Corbett, stop for pictures please!
Lovely to see you Lirio, I've got some painting if you fancy! Indoors...nothing too bad!
Drinking first coffee, not rushing to do anything, its the weekend! hope everyone has a lovely day!
I had a rare sleepless night mainly due to worrying about my daughter her OH and our GD who are in Disney resort in Orlando for another week......Disney and all the other parks have just announced that they are shutting up shop for the next few days ......very rare .....looks like Irma will now run straight up the Floridian peninsula .So sad to see all the destruction and suffering this hurricane has left in its wake already , thoughts and prayers to all
On a brighter note .....Fairy , yes that Himalayas one was amazing , the Rockies 1st episode was also spectacular
Another 8 hours sleep. I could happily get used to it.
Wonky, I do remember Dove saying she was stopping off on the way home. tsk @ self.
Chucking it down here again.
Am I the only person who hopes Irma hits Trumps Floriday resort? I OBVIOUSLY don't want anyone hurt, but if Mr "Climate change is a chinese conspiracy", sees his own property destroyed, maybe he'll see sense. Or he'll just call it "fake news"
Moi aussi Hosta. He needs a right wind up his trump to make him see sense, although I doubt it would change anything
Of course - hoping no one else suffers, especially your family and friends, Dacha and chicky, although I think there's no doubt there will be catastrophic damage to properties and businesses. We just don't care for that orange megalomaniac...
Sun here now too BL. Sorry Hostie - but we needed it as well. It's only for today though.
You really must watch that prog. I'm going to download the Rockies one Dacha. I remember flying over them en route to my relations in Canada. My little wings wouldn't manage it now though...
chciky - murder would be done if I had to spend any time with that wumman. She's a right royal pain in the doodahs, isn't she? I saw her on a prog she did (in Ireland) with Diarmuid, where they visited gardens of 'ordinary' folk, commented on them, and then picked the best one. It was a lovely programme - apart from her...
Enjoy your coffee and cake
Corbett has passed me by now Wonks. It'll still be there another day though. As the saying goes - the trick is to make sure I am too
Pottering's good - it's what I intend doing too. There are plenty of jobs to see to, including more pond stuff, but I will try and sit down and just 'look' as well...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hosta if you factor into that , ~20% of people in Miami/ Dade live below the poverty line , so those poor people don't even know what insurance is let alone afford it .......that would mean the 34% total you mention is of those who can possibly afford it which would make it look like ~27% of the overall total, bonkers
Helen Dillon on GW . I try not to be too impatient with the whole 'gardening TV for people who don't really want to garden' thing. But why was I watching her tell Monty what a wonderful garden he has? There was very little actual information in that whole section, apart from a vague theory on why his meconopsis aren't thriving. (To which I know the answer, btw. "Well they don't. Wrong plant wrong place"). It was just a load of mutual gushing
Meh
Sorry chaps, been a horrible week. Hope all the rellies in the path of Irma are OK. With that and Bangladesh (both problems) and the Yemen, the news is all a bit grim so I feel petty being so caught up in my own little troubles just now . Ho hum - maybe next week will bring some better news. Or at least better weather.
Wonky - hope it's a restful weekend. Hosta, well done for getting some decent kip. Punkdoc hope you're finding some direction with your newly found half brother. Clari - are you feeling better?
Everyone else - have a restful and productive weekend

Good to see you Wonky - glad you're feeling a bit better this morning
Watched GW last nght, and decided that more than 5minutes in the company of Helen Dillon would drive me over the edge
. But loved seeing Bressingham
Off to the shops today with littlest Chicklet - bits and pieces for Uni before she goes next weekend. Coffee and cake might feature too ☕️?
Love the chateaux Obxx - enjoy your time with Possum

I've just read that only 34% of people in Miami have flood insurance!!
They live in an area prone to hurricanes and storm surges for flips sake!!
What's wrong with these people?

Can't afford it, probably Hosta.
