Evening all. 12 hour shift was fine. I headed out driving at 9.30.back at 12.30, out again at 2.30 and back in again at 6.30. Loading / unloading / admin stuff in between and on tills for an hour before finishing at 8.
Dove - that actually did make me laugh out loud. Been there - done that
Hello Forkers - don’t often post on here now - but I do look in regularly to see what you’re all up to.
Hope hubby stays safe Pat - worrying times for you. Enjoy the hols Chicky. Don’t work too hard Hosta. Hello to everyone else - no doubt speak to you all on various other threads.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Yesterday, muscles and joints worked overtime in the garden. Today, tongue worked overtime...visitors in morning and late afternoon for coffee and I was at a friend's early afternoon. Natter, natter, natter. Hosta, not too arduous for a twelve hour shift. It will be fine if the others follow a similar pattern. Busy,I think I'd rather clean a greenhouse than stand and iron.
Dove - I can just see it! One of the advantages of having to order such stuff online or buy it in person when doing a raid on specialist shops is that I don't get the wrong paste.
We have been for apéro at some of OH's new golfing friends at the other end of a neighbouring village. Interesting couple who have lived a long and varied life but with lots in common with us too in all sorts of funny ways. On the way we took a Borrowdale tea bread to our farmer neighbours as they have been laid low by a lurgy. Worrying for them.
It's been filthy weather all day and more expected tomorrow so I shall potter indoors again apart from walkies. OH is heading all the way up to near St Nazaire to play golf. Mad.
Cosmos is a cultured kitty - trying to climb into the TV screen to examine former corn silos that have become an art and museum gallery in Cape Town. Oh-oh. Now he's stood on the Sky box and re-set it. Good game.

They're full of good ideas, aren't they, Obelixx? I think mine has evil intent when she walks over the keyboard, making everything go small or disappear into the ether...
Well. Our "house from hell" has made the electrician scratch his head a bit. He should have finished today, but... the lights constantly tripped on the new circuit board he fitted, when any socket was switched on. After he bypassed the circuit breaker, he disconnected every neutral feed on the circuit board, but the lights were still working... tomorrow's job involves dismantling and testing every light in the house until he finds the one which has been wired with an earth instead of a neutral. At least we haven't been electrocuted in the 12 years we've been living here...
That sounds like a lovely couple of days, Joyce.
Hi Topbird!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Just seen the Cape Town building too Obxx - amazing. But those windows are a serious design fault
Been laid low with a lurgy since yesterday evening - feels like food poisoning. Teach me for eating in the works canteen. Feeling better than I was, but still a bit delicate, so probs another day in bed tomorrow.
Love the Shipmans mix-up 😂
Hi there Tbird - hope all is well with you and your garden 🌷🌸🌼🌻
It took so log to fix what Cosmos did to the Sky box that I missed the windows Chicky. Liri - Minstrel is the keyboard specialist and manages to hit combinations that do strange things....... I hope you leccy man finds the problem soon.
Joyce - sounds like you've had a thorough workout for the last 2 days. Hosta - hope you're not too tired after your long day.
I'm going to take my headache off to bed now. Sweet dreams all.

Sorry you have a lurgy, Chicky, hope it's gone tomorrow. Joyce, I sit on the sofa and watch TV when I iron. Hello Topbird, I miss you on here. Must go to bed, tractor servicing man is coming early.
