    Morning everyone. 
    We’ve got some late afternoon light which looks nice on the hills this afternoon.

    Morning all/afties Pat if you're around  :)
    Overcast here. I feel exhausted all the time, but I think the arm pain is wearing me down a bit. I'm now being told I may not need the op. Not sure what to think. Waiting for the appt. with the specialist.
    Hope your day goes well Hosta. I remember days of that length only too well. Wouldn't want to do it now.
    Mrs Hog has been in the garden again. Quite relieved as the r*ddy fox  has been in a few times and I was worried it had scared her off. I'm making little holes through the  bottom of the fence to make life easier for her. This hog family maintenance is hard work.... ;)
    How are all the chicklets chicky? I can't see lots othe 'icons' on phones, but I can see them on here.
    Couldn't do the temps Obelixx has. It's only just double figures overnight here, and has been for a several days, which is more normal for us. Highs of about 19, so much better for me when I'm outdoors. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    You all sound happy this Sunday morning (except I’m not sure how happy Hosta is about his long shift).
    Hope you enjoy your new phone Dove. 
    Fairy, I hope you get thevshoulder sorted soon. It really drags you down when you’ve got constant discomfort, doesn’t it?  I’ll be worrying about that fox catching the hedgehog now that you’ve told us. 
    I think my icons are all ok. I’ll have a look now.🎉🌋⛺️🎡🎭
    Heaps of them.
    Hubby made Cornish Pasties again this afternoon, so we’ve already eaten dinner at 5 pm.😛
    We are rather hoping that Regina isn’t visiting her mother tonight. Easy evening for us if she’s not. 
    Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

    Greetings all.  Been having a lazy morning reading in bed and chatting with Possum and playing with assorted cats and dogs.  OH is playing golf but I shall stay firmly in the shade apart from occasional sorties to hang up washing and check treasures.  I don't mind it being this hot as long as I have something not too taxing to do in shade.   Thick walls, open windows, half closed shutters and a light breeze make it OK.

    Would not cope well with FG's usual high.  That's spring temp for me.   Know what you mean about the wind Pat.  Very wearing, as is constant discomfort so if it's offered, take the fix FG.  It'll be too late later.   Glad you've had some rain Glenys.  How's OH and his ribs?

    Very blue sky and a little breeze here.
     I haven't seen a hedgehog in the garden at all this year. We know the fox is still about.

    Only this week of nice weather and that will be cooler then rain for the unforeseeable!  
    Typical Devon/Cornwall holiday weather.   I feel sorry for people who wait all year for this holiday then it rains.  The indoor attractions are so expensive here.
