Pat E happy Australia day anyway, I am glad to share my B'Day with such a fine place even if I couldn't live there with the heat, snakes & spiders We are off to deepest, darkest welsh Wales tomorrow to visit friends who are doing up a big place there into holiday lets. Never been to this part before so if you don't hear from me next week send a search party! Hope all goes well for Moira @punkdoc.
Started off fine with the sun peering thru but OH frightened it off by commenting on it and we had an increasingly grey and soggy drive to Nantes to fetch Possum. Home now and it's trying again. Fingers crossed for some rays this pm. Possum is shattered after a 4:30 start to get trains to Zaventem in time and we need a wakening walkies this pm.
Pdoc - hugs for you and Moira. Hope it's all going well.
FG - I hope you have the celebratory bunting ready to go out once you are home and free this evening.
Pat - Happy Australia Day! AB - whereabouts are you planning to get lost so we can send out search parties?
GG - no Tesco round here in rural France.....
Plans for the weekend anyone?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

We had cake at work, and I got presents, including a lovely 'coffee table' book of mountain landscape photos. The kind of thing I would never have bought for myself, so I'll be perusing at my endless leisure over the next few days. As the late, great Donald O'Connor said in Singin' in the Rain when talkies meant he was out of a job as resident musician ' at last, now I can start suffering and write that symphony'
Managed to scan back quickly , and hope all went well for Moira, and doc is coping fine. He has his propagator to help deflect him from the anxiety of the day, so perhaps it won't be too bad. Hope Pat has had a reasonable day of celebrating, and hasn't been found in a drunken heap after too much beer Weird day here weather wise. Warmer overnight than it's been through the day for weeks and weeks. Gey windy and leaden skies at times though. The men are doing the scaffold tomorrow, and of course, it's to be peeing down. Forecast looks reasonable enough for Monday's roughcasting...for now....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My Chilterns seed catalogue arrived yesterday. It's a good read... can I whittle down the list of "must haves" to a reasonable number, though... it's gone dull, windy and damp, so garden dreaming is the order of the day.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hi all. Hospital has just phoned, Moira is out of theatre. They will let me know later whether she can come home tonight or not. Thank you all for your kind wishes, I am sure Moira will be chuffed. Congratulations Fairy. I have been looking through the Chilterns catalogue too, always provides hours of fun, especially when i have to whittle down my initial 40 to 50 choices, to a realistic 20.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Fingers crossed that Moira can come home today @punkdoc ... if they want to keep her in remember, doctor knows best and she’s in good hands. Give her our very best wishes and we’ll keep you company ((hugs)).

Congratulations, @Fairygirl! Real life begins now.
Very best wishes to @punkdoc and Moira.
