In a Land Rover you can get quite close to a number of animals as they don't see it as a threat. It is only if they see the movement of humans that they get spooked. That Cheetah had not long since eaten and was very sleepy, so we were able to get very close [ 40 feet ], for quite a long time.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Chocolate carrots and buttered agapanthus - you lot are quite strange
I like that about clouds - nice term Have you only just worked out that we're strange? Not me of course, I use chocolate on my agapanthus, not on my carrots..... It's actually a sunrise Obelixx. Just looked at the date - exactly two years ago at 9am beside Loch Lomond. Whay are people so stupid about fog? At least the accident was avoided.

Hi, read back but forgotten it all now, sorry it must be an age thing 27 was meant to be perfect I thought
i did love all the photos, really lovely, punk it is one of my biggest regrets we never got to do a safari and now my osteopath says it’s not for my back We sent our son and his wife instead and the photos they took are in an album. I treasure them. So special
Sky here last night was amazing. We have very little city light pollution so see masses.the jet streams were super. Wee gd calls them dragons breath
how was the cake obs? Sounded really nice reading to dogs was lovely this morning and the room was cosy for once!

My playmate, Noémie, and I won our Scrabble, mostly because she was really good at picking good letters. It was quite a jolly event and they liked the chocolate carrot cake but didn't quite finish it. It is very luscious, based on a recipe in an Oz Woman's Weekly recipe book.
I have loads of carrot cake recipes and loads of chocolate cake recipes. This one is a gem.
On our way out, a chap we met at the summer BBQ came over and asked our names again and then got chatting and discovered they went to the same grammar school in Worcester and he was in the same house as OH and played rugby with OH's older brother. There then followed much discussion of rugby and cricket I have never met anyone other than BIL who can do a 30 minute post-mortem on an over of cricket played 50 or 60 years ago - till now. Other than that he's a jolly chap.
Now to get on with more patch homework.
LP - some things stick and others don't even register. Not sure it's about being 27.
FG - If you don't know which way the camera's facing sunset can be indistinguishable from sunrise. Round here sunrise and sunset can both be glorious or damp squibs. Tonight's sunset is a very watery looking affair with pale yellow light and lots of grey streaks. No fire in it at all.
Pdoc - superb cheetah pics.

Evening - hope all are well. Lovely snaps on here today. Been doing some Crimbo shopping today 😝 The cashier in the one shop was very please with my purchases (thanks for the approval!) and took a particular shine to some gin glasses I bought for Bro/Sis-in-law. I expect she will be going home with all the favourite items she saw today 😂 Must be an expensive business being a shop-a-holic cashier in a department store!

How did you get so close to the cheetah, @punkdoc? Fab photo. And your sky one is gorgeous, @Fairygirl - definitely one to print for the wall.
Enjoy the nursery, @Hostafan! Hope you've got gloves...

Fabulous photos from Fairy and punkdoc.
I did all my French Christmas cards yesterday. I will do the English ones in Norfolk next week.
Collected my friend from hospital, they let her out at lunchtime.
Not raining and it's mild. I ought to go out and prune something.
