    Afternoon all,
    Nice to hear that Chicky had such a nice time yesterday.
    Hope she'll manage to dodge the showers this afternoon though.
    The weather office has just given out a code yellow alert for most of the country, including the Utrecht region. The expect showers and thunderstorms with lots of rain and hailstones with a diameter of up to 2 cm. Add to that gusts of wind of up to 60 km and you can get really wet.
    I'm off to put some of the more vulnerable plants in a safe place, because it's getting rather dark outside.

    Have a good day, whatever you're doing!

    Evening everyone. Hubby eventually got home after 4pm safe and sound. Then a friend followed him up the driveway and stayed for dinner. He has only now left, so it won’t be long before I hit the sack. 😴

    We've had a good day. Met friends in church this morning, invited for drinks tomorrow. Then we went out for lunch, Fox and Goose in Fressingfield, delicious, super meal, more of a gourmet restaurant than a pub. Then we went to Southwold, by the sea. Had been warm and sunny but weather changed in Southwold, down from 23° to 16°, thunder then rain. Back at the cottage now and warm and sunny again.

    Flumpy, the new cottage is in a village but is surrounded by countryside. Wonky, if it all goes though, fingers crossed, then there will be photos of the garden eventually. Looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow.

    Glad you had a lovely day BL.  :) but we always say the temperature drops by 10 degrees when you're East of the A12  ;)

    Evening all. 
    I'm just in after another 12 hour shift. Lots of nice , happy customers.
    I pulled up outside the filling station at lunchtime after I'd finished my deliveries and gestured to a car waiting to pull out. As he was pulling out, the car behind me shot out, crossed the road and pulled in the exit of the filling station and pulled up to the pump. He kept looking over at me as if I was going to say something, which I didn't. 
    He thought he was being clever, I know he was being unspeakable ill mannered.
    A cuppa and a shower then I think I'm off to bed. 
    Oh, I politely declined the offer of a driving shift tomorrow afternoon.
    Devon.

    We had a drive to Ramsbottom only to find it was the 1940's weekend, I felt like I'd gone back in time as they where all dressed in uniforms and the ladies hair looked great, we had a lovely walk around Nuttall park, it was windy but warm then finished the day off at the Duckworth arms and had a lovely meal and sat outside in the country garden, I managed to cut our lawn and tidied unwanted leaves, we are now relaxing with our feet up with hot chocalate drinks mmmmmm 😍
