    Night night all.  I'll tell you my latest jackdaw story in the morning...   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Joyce, there’s a warning of a possible cyclone for the Darwin region this weekend. Hope your friend is ok.

    Morning all.
    Pat, my friend had some large trees cut down last week which is maybe just as well as the branches of one of them were touching the roof.

    I want to see pictures of Liri with a Tuba  ;)   What a great new project for you  :D 

     Hope mini Lily is doing better this morning - such a worry  :( . And that her Dad gets back soon too.

    Survived yesterday, early night last night, and raring to go this morning. Looking forward to the weekend - more seed sowing methinks.  Time to get my cosmos, cucumbers and toms on the go.  No heated GH here, so windowsills until next month I think 🤔.

    Looking forward to GW tonight - have last week’s to catch up on too.

    Morning Chicky  :). If you watch last week's you'll see Monty looking frawn, with his warmest woolly wristwarmers on. It'll make you feel really chilly.

    The new cyclone is named Marcus. It’s expected to arrive at Darwin lunch time tomorrow. 
    If I was there, I’d be heading down the track to Katherine.

    Bit grey and cloudy to the east and north but blue bits to the south and west.  Set to be fine and dry and 8 or 9C so I'm off outside all day.   Roof men have called to say they're coming this morning.    Good.

    Busy - has he looked in the car?  That's where they're supposed to be kept along with his insurance form.   Our Leclerc had hidden cat lit yesterday, all part of expanding the spring display of pots and garden sundries.   They're up to something in the big extension too but no idea what. 

    Chicky, glad you're feeling chipper.   Seed sowing for me on Tuesday.  Busy till then.

    Pat - I hope you don't get blown away by the cyclone and that your friends are safe up there.

    Liri - I love brass bands so I hope it all goes well and you get an instrument you like and can play.

    Off to get a second coffee and go get some weeds.

    Second coffe due here too Obxx. 
    @Chicky 'frawn' used regularly in our Mid Suffolk village in 50s/early 60s but only hear it used by old chaps at auctions on bitterly cold days nowadays. Soooo descriptive ... that hollow-cheeked drawn look of men who've been working out in frozen beetfields all day ... don't see them much now either thanks to mechanisation and tractor cabs.
