    Hi folks Had a good day today enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at a local hotel and spent the rest of the day cuddling Jonah. Will be looking after him tomorrow while Secondborn goes into work. 

    Sorry you're feeling rough P'doc I hope you pick up soon. 

    Hosta any pointers on splitting Cannas.  I'll hopefully be doing mine on Thursday as a dry day is promised. 

    I love my conservatory. Virtually live in their in the summer.

    Hello all!  You've had a chatty day...

    The flood siren has just gone off in my town.  Bit of a grotty day for weather - heavy snow followed by heavy rain... hopefully this time the flood defences will have been good enough.  It's actually stopped raining now, which might be just in time.

    We had a lovely day yesterday visiting our family - lunch in the local pub (with the hottest horseradish sauce I've had for a long time) was lovely, our DIL's simnel cake was delicious, and our grandson was on his best behaviour.   :)

    Just about to go and do battle with our new home phone.  It has a 67-page instruction manual... mobile phones seem to come with no instructions at all.  Not sure which I prefer; if there are no instructions I just work out what I need (in the end, after a year or two...) - but with this Dect phone I think I'll feel a failure if I don't do everything the manual tells me...   :/
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Hello all ... I've spent the evening unravelling a jacket I knitted some years ago but didn't like and have never worn ... now I'm snuggled under the duvet with Book at Bedtime. Night night folks ... see you in the morning ...

    Forgot to mention, I heard a cuckoo yesterday. Has anyone else heard one yet?
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    No sensible cuckoo would be heard anywhere near the snow we have got.
    Lovely to hear BL, a real harbinger of better things to come.

    How can I help? 
    Re conservatory, when it's nice enough to sit in there, I'd rather be outside. The rest of the time, it's too cold. 
    Morning all.
    12 hour shift beckons. I wonder how much rain we'll get today. Soooo bored with it.

    Am I the only person who doesn't get all this faux outrage that our passports are going to be printed abroad? 
    The company which makes passports in UK makes passports for over 40 other countries. Is anyone advocating that those countries take back their business from the UK so they can have one of their own home grown companies print them?

    As you say Hosta ... it's contrived shock/horror. If only people would get as outraged about the real obscenities of the modern world  :'(
