    Just to warn folks, there is a Troll on the site, beware. I have reported to the Mods.

     Lyn - is it that Hilary one in another guise? ( gnome woman ) I reported her yesterday and she was bumped off. I felt she could be a 'returnee'  causing bother.

    doc - Joyce's idea is good if you felt you couldn't trust anyone else. 1 or 2 at a time, and a day at a time  image

  • I think there's a few emerging from the woodwork at the moment Fairy. 

    Ive been to the dentist and all is good. I've bought new underpinnings, body lotion and nice smelly stuff from Body shop, an oxtail and pork chops from my favourite butcher on the market and some Suffolk Gold and Lincolnshire Poacher from the cheese stall and now I'm behaving a coffee and waiting for OH to find me. 

    Hope you're all having a good day. 

    Pdoc ... Get someone in to do the liftingimage.  If I didn't have a younger OH who's at home half the week that's what I'd have to do. As long as I don't keep him out of the studio for too long ....

    New underpinnings, Dove...I'm not tittering....honest....image

    Glad all is well with the gnashers. Hope all is good with yours too GWRS   image

    The rain has almost stoppped here - hurrah. It's watered all my little plants in nicely though. Hope the weather stays fine for you on your cottage trip, Liri. Time we had a decent little spell.

    Rosbif for dinner. Not my favourite, but youngest likes it. Hardly seen the older one - apart from late last night when she came home from her Hallowe'en party. She was some kind of psycho surgeon with a bloodied lab coat and scrubs under it ....image

    Get away with your ear-worms you two!!

    Lovely sunny and warm 24C day out today.  Gernika (Basque spelling) is very missable.  Nothing left of the old place and lots of low-rise apartment blocks in neat rows now.  Dare say they are light and clean and comfy and more spacious than the original houses but lacking soul.  The tree thing dates from one planted in 14th C and under which locals would meet and discuss matters.  Later on monarchs came there to sign agreements recognising certain Basque liberties and the tree became a symbol of their independence.  Each new tree is an acorn successor of the original.  The 1860 tree survived the German bombing and was saved from Franco's soldiers too but died of a fungal infection in 1986.  The next one died of drainage problems in 2015 so the replacement is still small and only 16yrs old.  They keep spares, just in case, and give other descendants to like-minded towns around the world.

    On from there to the coast and coffee in the sun by the yacht basin and fishing harbour at Bermeo.  All cliffs so no beach so we headed on to Burkia for lunch by the bay.  Half of Spain seemed to be there with several generations drinking, eating and playing.  Lovely.  However, another almost veg free meal tho better than that first night!   Possum wants to do a tapas crawl for dinner tomorrow so I'm seriously considering nipping across to the Indian over the road t see if I can get a vegetable balti or three tonight.  Atlantic cooking hereabouts it seems - protein, carbs and fats.

    Chicky - exciting countdown.  Loved Uluru and Adelaide when we were there.  Didn't see Melbourne or Cairns but hope to fix that one day.

    FG - hope you're not too wet up there or too windy for your next crossing Liri!  Busy -2 already?  Yikes!

    Keep warm everyone.
