    Thanks both.  Yes thanks, it was very relaxing!

    Glad your house and horses are safe, BL.

    I've never eaten Nutella...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    We don't either.  It's got palm oil and sugar in it so is a no-no in this house - along with Duchy of Cornwall organic Xmas puds.  What's organic about palm oil and sugar?  Has anyone told the orang-utans they displaced?

    joyce I saw the garlands on the news, nice!

    have had my first day out “ post flu.  Exhausted!

    liro your photos are superb

    Pat how is your little  houseguest tonight?

    liro/ Obelixx I use it for cakes, fillings etc. Could never eat a spoonful!

    Dove I love all the different cures for hiccups, a drink if really cold water does it for me.

    grandson really poorly in London, think I may be up most of the night on the iPad,  the hospitals are really over stretched. Daughter has had to take him to Middlesex  NHS 24 said they the only ones could recieve him. Bless,  he preferred the Moscow germs to London ones!

    hope you all get more sleep than I expect to!!!!

    Up early here thanks to a very persistent Cosmos and a date with that jacket.

    20mm of rain in the last 24 hours and a light ground frost this morning so clear skies today which will please OH who is scarpering to play golf and the masons who are coming to fix walls and roof joins and so on.

    Hope your grandson is doing better today LP and anyone else with lurgies.  Take it easy those recovering from flu.  

    How are you doing Pdoc?  Stream gone down yet?  Sorted out your deliveries?

    Staying cool Pat?

    I avoid palm oil as well as rapeseed oil. The rapeseed, seems to upset my digestive system ( I won't elaborate  as it is breakfast time). I flew over a large number of palm oil plantations in PNG and New Britain. They are displacing the birds of paradise with their monoculture. image

     It snowed here overnight, although at 2C it feels positively balmy. Someone is chipping ice off of the exterior gangways.

    Morning,

    Dove, baby wasn’t kept in thank goodness, chest infection, again

    -3 at the moment. (Need coffee.) Not quite like yours Fidget, no ice needing scraped here

    Obelixx how is Cosmos paw?

    We are off to a swanky hotel for 24 hours, a Christmas present to each other. Looking forward to it

    have a good day
