Cheers Dove .....my toe is fat and blue ....will lose the nail soon .....but all is well
Liri ....interesting about your Kindle...I was going to say , not to worry if you had lost it as all your eBooks would be in the cloud at Amazon ......however a lot of people have a lot of other stuff , personal , bootleg books ...present company excepted of course .....your eBooks you paid for are not owned by you .....all down to DRM (Digital Rights Management )......this is why we only get a few seconds of the songs on DID podcasts. There is a way to back up all your kindle files to your PC as well.....when you get it back!
Re the thank you token for the good egg who found your Kindle.....I always find that some home made items work well.....muffins, cake etc.....I always have a few sweet chili sauces or chutneys to give as small gifts
Glad you survived the rough stuff Liri, and how nice that there are still some kind souls in the world who aren't looking for rewards, but are content to just do a good deed.
Dacha - fat blue toe - I had one of those many years ago Glad your MIL is ok.
I wonder if LP is already away ....sending love anyway, and a little fairy dust...
In fact - fairy dust for anyone who needs it
'nearly an armful' doc. Good to 'see you' smile
Good progress Obelixx. You'll be glad when it's done though! The stones will make lovely edging. I managed to find enough in and around this garden for all my border edging along the boundary. That's what I've been mortaring in recently.
Better get back to work. Can't sit about all day like you lot.....I'm running for cover now....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Another man is coming for an estimate for after flood decorating and someone is coming to inspect the septic tank, which is now obligatory every 4 years or so in France.
Did anyone see "The Apprentice"? One team was trying to sell robots for the over 60s to remind them to take their medicaments and to keep them company when they are lonely etc. Alan Sugar wasn't impressed. Nor were the shops they tried to sell them to. Is that what the young think of us?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Haven't watched since part way thru the first series. Dreadful people - AS and contestants - and stupid challenges. I do, however, like AS's ex sidekick who has since retired but gone on to other things.
Much banging and clattering and sawing going on today. They are constructing the timber shell which will be insulated and then clad with timber boards. Dogs confined to barracks with a pig's ear to keep them busy.
OH fossicking in the potager laying weed membrane and I'm on watering pots and clearing stuff out of the dry shade bed to make space for stuff that will, I hope, like the dry shade better. Japanese maples and some hostas to rescue. Hebes and bulbs to go in.
Busy - hope the new stuff does the job OK. I wonder how I'm supposed to guess when our 4 years are up and when the fosse septique needs emptying........
Dacha - be careful. Once you get to 27 toes take flipping ages to mend. Bashed my second left last October and the new nail has only just got to the proper length.
Lovely to get your Kindle back Liri and yes, definitely deserves a reward of some sort. Like the chutney idea and the charity donation or maybe a book token for him?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Bought new phones and 2 surge protectors.

Yes, we saw it ... not sure if any of that lot are capable of thought BL ......never seen such a bunch of inadequate self obsessed no-hopers.
I wouldn't employ any of them to clean windows, let alone anything else.

Well, not since the last series? and the one before that? and the one before that?.......
To be fair, I can't imagine why anyone would want to work with Alan Sugar. Loathsome little man.

Of course, the calibre of contestants is dictated by AS's need to appear superior in comparison

A robot to keep me company? No thanks, I'd rather talk to myself, the birds and
(
) the plants.

Well, the weathermen were right. It's now chucking it down and blowing a gale, again.
I've been in the hot tunnel keeping out of it and have stopped to make Hubby a cuppa as he returns home from the shop.
