Lunch time. Bit late but I've just finished all the machine sewing on the jacket. Hand sewing left for TV after dinner. Been watching Casablanca this morning. I almost know the script now but it's still a great film.
LP - shame about your fruit cage succumbing to the snow. We're currently thinking of building one with rusty builders' metal thingies on the grounds that at least the structure will withstand strong winds. Glad you're both feeling better.
Joyce - I trust your daughter is staying put. There will be other weekends. I was very proud of that obelisk but it died too soon. No idea what we'll make on this coming class. I'll find out when it happens on the 18th of March.
Dove - well done. We did that yesterday and found half price free range guinea fowl and a chuck which are now in the freezer and a slab of proper belly pork with skin to slow roast this Sunday while we're out at a show of Argentine tango. Like the cello and piano concert last Saturday, it is timed so the audience, and no doubt, the artists, can get home for dinner at a reasonable hour. We already have fish and prawns in the freezer and there are Savoy cabbages, beetroot and Swiss chard in the garden.
Pdoc, unless you're sleepy too, I suggest the sofa with a warm duvet and a good book or catalogue or music if there's nothing you fancy on TV.
Hosta - hope hubby warms up!
Why, after all the time I, and no doubt others, have spent teaching the spellcheck proper English does it still want to knock the "ue" off catalogue?

Mine seems to scatter apostophes around willy nilly ... at one time I doubted myself and thought it was me making grammatical mistakes but I've been really careful and fairly I'm sure it's not me ........
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Been to docs and had the jab. Discussed the lovely toes. I can have infiltrations to ease the affected joints but first I'd need surgery to remove the screws - 2 short, one medium and one long in each foot. No thanks. Keep taking the curcuma. Keep dancing. Keep walking.
No time for walkies till sewing all done. Trousers next I think before I tackle another lined jacket..

The thing about the English language , from a Paddy's perspective, is that most English people get hung up about those who speak the language and those who study it!
Not here. I just like it spelt correctly and spoken properly and not full of dreadful brainless US expressions eg gob-smacked. How ugly is that and what's wrong with amazed, surprised, shocked, flabbergasted?

Been to a History talk today about a place called The Lawns Lincoln , a 18th century Asylum Hospital , the first in the Country to remove mechanical restraints , certainly different
Now listening to Friday night is music ? night on radio 2 plus a gin cocktails ?
We enjoyed our visit to Lavenham. The reason we went was because I was giving OH part of his Christmas presents, lunch at The Swan. The dining room is gorgeous, like a Kent Hall house, full of beams. Lovely lunch. Meant I didn't have to cook this evening.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

LP - I remember your pic of that very sturdy looking fruit cage.
Daughter was thinking of coming up tomorrow but I told her what it was like at your place. Don't need her getting stuck anywhere.
Biting cold wind and dark grey sky here.

Frustrating.

Dovefromabove , wondering what “ thunder & lighting was “?
