    Good morning everyone, I can see you all today and have energy to post
    my experience at the eye specialist was not what we expected. However it should be fixed in time for going away 2 weeks on Thursday. Nothing is going to stop me!
    treatment is demanding but seems to be gradually working
    i have been able to read back by expanding iPad.
    so as I understand,    Fairy has built a new house, Chicky has been in beach huts with her sisters, Pat has discovered new information about gum trees, I once saw one explode in a fire!
    have people been buying new shoes, Wonky?
    Doc has a special birthday and celebrating in class, he deserves a bit of pampering. I think Fairy Joyce and I could easily meet them with balloons cake etc, embarrassing ?!!

    Lots of lovely talk about owls, not heard any hear yet but we lost so many trees perhaps they are lost
    and so many others conversations I have enjoyed but recallI  gets muddled so forgive, 
    getting blurry so will pop off,
    have a good day

    Turning into a bit of a saga LP.  I hope it all clears up satisfactorily and soon.

    Morning all/afties Pat if you're around
    Glad the beach hut chat was entertaining chicky - or was it the photos.... :D
    Lovely to see you LP - hope you can see us better as time goes on. Very wearing, and frustrating, for you. Take it easy if you can.
    Very envious of your lovely owls AuntyR, although we do have them around. They just don't tend to come near the houses - plenty of woodland for them close by. 
    Damp and mild here, and more rain to come later, but the wind has gone thankfully.  
    Forgot that I took some pix of the green roof so here's one. The cerastium and wild rocket is in the 'window box' behind, and will spread over it too

    Of course, the big fat pigeon was tromping all over it within five mintues, so I had to put a bit of chicken wire over it to preotect the little sempervivums until they get established. This wild bird wrangling is hard work.... ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Hi all.
    Lovely to see you @Lily Pilly.
    Brilliant Hog house @Fairygirl.
    Not feeling very chatty, but wishing all a lovely day.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Morning everyone, our little visitor has appeared outside our bedroom window this afternoon. So cute! If this keeps up, we’ll have to give her a name.

    Chicky, Liri and Fairy. I meant to comment on your photos. Love them all.
    lilyp, I hope your eyes keep improving. 
    Weve had drizzle all day. Couldn’t call it rain, but we’re grateful for any.

    Morning all. 
    The nurse was right , my arm was so painful last night I even took some paracetamol. Most unlike me. Still aching this morning but Hubby has offered to help move chippings today so I've got to make the most of it.
