    Morning folks/afties Pat - not read back so I hope you're keeping cosy there  'down under'. The pasties sound good. Always handy to have stuff in the freezer - I do it all the time  :)
    Think the rain has gone off now, so I might manage to get more than twenty minutes outside to do something other than a bit of deadheading and refilling bird feeders. The rain has mostly been quite nice stuff though - more like solid mist. Temps are no great shakes, so I hope the toms will eventually ripen...at some point before December would be good  :D
    The little birds have been very entertaining.The cage has been like Glasgow airport on Fair weekend. At one point there was great, blue and coal tits, sparrows, dunnocks and the robin all trying to get in at the same time,and having to form an orderly [or disorderly ] queue. Lovely though  :)
    I'll have a wee look round now and see what's what before I get myself organised. Have a good day everyone, whatever you're planning  :)

    Morning all. I survived the night with all my Flu symptoms! Just received delivery from SM, although not sure what I can fancy to eat... pasties would be nice! 
    Back to bed now though with tea and choccy biccys I think - that’s as much as I can ‘prepare’. 

    Missing a NGS trip today ☹️

    I think tea and choccy bix are adequate consolation for missing a trip, AuntyR - and obvously, they're the perfect remedy for any ailment... ;)

    It’s raining 😺 & 🐺 in the Northwest and it’s here for two days 😕

    Warm with occasional sun here. My kids still think it's "freezing" though. Strange creatures.

    This is where I've been weeding this afternoon...

    Hi Flumpy. No, I was volunteering today. Here's a view from a bit further away...



    And a bit further...

    Ooooh LG don’t tease - where are you ????  Used to take the chicklets to a dinosaur park near Norwich, but that would be a long way for you to travel 🦖🦕🤪

    Crystal Palace, @chicky - you know I'm a sahf Londoner! 10 mins on the bus, versus 4 hours to Norwich. Here's some info, if you've not heard of them: https://cpdinosaurs.org/what-are-crystal-palace-dinosaurs/
