    Those look very tempting FG.  One of these days I shall have a go at piping.  Impressive stuff there.

    Post prandial decaf has been consumed and then I'm going to pot, probably in more ways than one.   

    I was in mid post when a French leccy man came.  After a mere 5 months we now have a meter that tells EDF that we've got PV panels and will reocrd any minor excess in consumption for them to pay us back.   It's fluo green!  Horrid.

    Flumpy what a beauty. Thanks everyone for your supportive comments and hugs. I’ve been hugged to bits today.

    Bed time at last, so signing off.  Catch up tomorrow.

    Too right Hosta.  2 cats and 2 dogs here and the only smell is my chicken stock pan.

    My OH is starting to take hisunder gardener role a bit seriously.  Caught him googing what to do with walnut shells.   Not good for composting, not good for muncher machines innards, no se agianst snails and we don't need them for scrubbing pans so he's asked if it's OK just to bin them.  Yes.

    Pat - ha, ha but actually it's sealed an dnot our property so no, can't do that.  Good job it's in a quiet corner by the front door out of the annex.  Might box that whole corner of pipes and leccy in once everyone's finished messing.

    Hi all.
    Just made the 16.02 train.
    Enjoyed being back at headquarters [ sorry about the bragging ], although I preferred my previous visit, as I was a fan of the then PM, although I know most of you despised him.
    About 25 of us for a buffet lunch: Police, Army, Medics and Porton Down staff. Matt Hancock the Health Secretary was there and the boss popped in for a few minutes to thank us.
    Had one conversation which amused me, with a doctor from Salisbury, who spent 10 minutes telling me what a fantastic job he had done. I  listened attentively, then introduced myself, saying I was surprised that I didn't remember him from any of the briefings I gave.

    Afternoon all.
    Nicely done @punkdoc 😉
    As a cat owner myself I think it should never smell if you do the necessary basics. Mind you, mine have their own bathroom! 
    Loving Autumnwatch - I adore the colours.
    Cake is baking... Fairy’s look superb! 
    Hope you all doing ok.

  • Good for you @punkdoc . I always found the real top people were the most self effacing and gave all the credit to their team of staff.
