Hi all. Love to @WonkyWomble No news from hospital, so hopefully operation will go ahead tomorrow, have to get Moira in by 7.00. Grey and bitterly cold here, so a little bit of plant porn is called for.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Sunny here but cold. Have to work out a week of vegan meals and then a shopping list. Possum wants to me to get vegan hazelnut milk yogurt with coconut - yeah, not happening in rural France.
Fingers crossed for Moira Pdoc. Enjoy your porn. Man up Hosta - you need the money for HRT.
Enjoy Dove - one of the advantages, I suppose, of long straight hair is that it just gets long between cuts. Greetings to WW.
Pat - your heat sounds like ours in summer. Fine by me as long as I can retreat into the cool of the house for the peaks.
Chicky - hope all the exams have gone well for Chicklets. Possum has a final oral exam this pm and then home tomorrow for 10 days.
Hope all goes well with the kitchen BL. Oak sideboard sounds like a good find. 20+ years ago I found an entire oak bedroom set for about £200 - big wardrobe, dressing table, bed head and foot with side tables........... and colleagues of OH sold us their solid oak dining room set - table, chairs, sideboard and vitrine - for a similar sum because they were worried about grandkids and table corners at eye height. Amazing.
Have a good day all, whatever you're doing.

Two tons (or possibly tonnes... who knows...) of gravel have been barrowed and spread, to make a path in the park to an "outside classroom" (actually, just a clearing in the trees) for the local primary schools to use. 7 volunteers this morning made short work of it, but my shovelling muscles don't know what's hit them!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Good luck with the kitchen BL. Ours didn't need many extra holes for leccy but it seemed a long, hard haul camping in the dining room with a microwave and a gas hob for the duration - long haul while we dismantled the old kitchen, deep cleaned and then painted the walls and then days of installation. Worth it tho. Well done with teh curtains. I'm just wondering weather Roman blinds might be better for our living room but they have to be dead accurate don't they?
Pdoc - sounds like a good distraction project but maybe get a friendly neighbour to help? or a boy scout?
We have done the shop for a week of vegan food. Managed to find almond, oat and hazelnut milks but no fancy yogurts, as I expected. Found pasta made with chcik pea flour cos the normal stuff "may contain traces of egg". OH has also bought himself some smelly cheese, just in case he gets a snack attack.

Back from the city with considerably less hair, meat and veg from the market and some birthday cards for the next batch of family birthdays. Still chilly out there brrrrr!
BL we could never convince Ma that it was possible to move ghe cooker point so that it was sited somewhere safer than between the door to the conservatory and thd door to the walk in pantry. Not a square inch of worktop within arms reach
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Evening all. A bit of a driech old drive around this morning, but no frost. A very interesting time looms for Boscastle as the main road is closed " for 16 weeks" major risk of landslips so a big job which means everyone has to use a very narrow single track , steep road. I think I had 8 cars behind me when I'd finished.

Do it while Moira is having her operation, punkdoc, to take your mind off it.
That oak furniture sounds a really good deal, Obelixx.
Kitchen looks totally bombstruck! Electrician is gouging out holes in the wall, new cooker socket, new double socket.
I have finished the dining room curtains.
but they have to be dead accurate don't they?
