    Obelixx! I'm waiting for rain too! We have had some cold and windy weather of late but nothing that waters the garden for a while! I'm sure it will rain when I'm back at work! image promising to pace myself, we have taken on a couple of extra gardeners so hopefully the division of labour will be a bit better! Hope you get some rain soon! Preferably at nights followed by lovely sunny gardening days! image

    Its actually glorious here today, I'm sat at the picnic bench, in the sunshine, on the patio in purple dressing gown...sorry neighbours, with a coffee supervising cat wrestling! Not so bad!

    Morning all. 

    Happy Birthday Fairy! Did I miss what the coloured towels are for?? 

    Cloudy but warm and dry out - the calm before the storm?

    Aunty Rach, thanks for the weather report. Can you do it again tomorrow please? I can’t get anything here about UK weather.

    Chicky, best wishes for your anniversary. Our 45th anniversary will be on 20th (Friday).  We are going to Canberra for a couple of days and meeting up with the kids and having a special meal. image

    Interesting buildings Chicky.

    Hello everyone,

    I am back from the big city exhausted! I hope I have been able to help a bit.  I found it hard to leave as still so many things to resolve. Especially trying to find a new house as a b...h of a neighbour has complained about the dogs  (Freehold was changed two months ago to state no dogs by which time they were en route from Moscow) Agents very sympathetic but she will have to move. My little gd is struggling but so brave, it's so hard to see them in pain, baby growing like a mushroom and adorably cuddly. OH gave me lovely welcome home, fridge full,  laundry basket empty, dogs walked off their feet!

    Will try and read back properly but meantime

    WW I am so glad you have rested for  a week and feel better

    Chicky lovely to  know youngest is happy, Happy chicklets make happy chickens

    Obelixx no hose required here!

    Fairy hope the towels turn out nice, can you do dresses? I need help

    Lg the L I am going outside too but not for the same pleasures as you. We need to batten down the hatches. first thing is to move the cars as they are under trees!

    Have a good afternoon wherever you are

    Clouding over here now but still dry and bright.

    Congrats Chicky and OH.  You too Pat in case we don't "see" you on the 20th.  You can get UK forecasts here - https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast or here http://www.bbc.com/weather/2635167  Just save the link your prefer in your favourites and check it at will.  Here you can see the rain radar for France - http://www.meteo60.fr/radars-precipitations-pluie-france.php Busy is south of Limoges and I am between La Rochelle and Nantes and not one of those wet clouds has passed over here!   Fingers crossed they will in due course.
