    Looks like a big pink glass dome.

    I missed great aunt Sylvia on Monday night, Fidget, we were travelling from Italy to France, but I heard about the programme.

    Went to a meeting this morning about the quiz next week in aid of the people in Indonesia affected by the tsunami.

    I've been shovelling manure from the summer paddock heap to the end of the flower garden, aching back and shoulders, need a shower.

    Must find some cheap bedding violets from somewhere, SM doesn't seem to have had its usual sale and I was away on the delivery days for the online firm that I use. Main GC is expensive, hope the little one has them cheaper.

    Evening all. 
    Callum has been a very naughty boy. This is the first time I've had internet all day. grrr.
    I've been "tidying" in the garage all day. It's been pouring pretty much all day and gale force winds. 
    The tree surgeons have just dropped off a load of chippings: trees down on power lines. More gale force winds forecast all night and tomorrow. Joy.

    I liked the dress, and very refreshing to have no veil. I think if I had borrowed a Tiara like that, I wouldn't have a veil either.
    Couldn't be bothered to shop, so Curry out of freezer with jacket Potatoes. (No rice in house)

    No rice!  I have basmati, Jasmine, Carmargue, red, wholegrain, pudding, risotto and paella rices and basmati mxed with seaweed flakes for fish dinners and rice noodles too.

    It has gone very quiet here now with the lightest of breezes and clear skies.

    I am quietly being driven round the bend by itchy bites all over my rib cage.  Same thing last October.  No idea what the culprit is but it's painful and maddening.

    Horrible day here, wet and windy, with same due tomorrow.
    Very heavy arm after flu jab, no idea why that should happen.
    Home alone this weekend, OH away with some friends, would be ok. if I could be outside.

    Interesting film on the Scottish news tonight of waterfalls being blown upwards by the strength of the wind.  The state of the R and be T is terrible after further landslides.
    The wind here has now calmed down but the rain poured down all afternoon.

    I always react to jabs.  In my teens I had to have cholera and yellow fever before going off to visit my dad in Zambia and that put my left arm out of action for a few days.  OH maybe gets a little swelling at worst.  A Canadian friend in Belgium who was a GP in a former life advised me to take a full, soluble paracetamol before a jab and to give baby paracetamol to Possum before all her toddler and childhood jabs.   Works a treat.

    Hope you've got some good films/books/recorded TV to keep you distracted Pdoc or maybe some seeds to sow for winter stratification?

    Evening all, busy day hunting down Darjeeling tea bags, world shortage due to civil unrest..was going to have to fork out £6.50 for fifty tea bags at the posh beverage shop but good old m and s saved the day at £1.80... Got four boxes for now.
    Other good news is that step son Womble passed his driving test 😊
    Have a lovely evening all and start safe and warm in this weather!

    Evening all. Internet and cable been off and we must have had a power cut whilst I was in work as oven wouldn’t work until I set the time again. ⚡️
    That rainbow @Dovefromabove! 🌈💓
    I too had my Flu jab @Punkdoc and my arm is murder! 💉
    @fidgetbones - I saw the programme - superb! 
    Hope all the Forkers ok tonight.
