    Can hear the dawn chorus to accompany breakfast .......first time this year 🥳. Yay, yay and double yay 😀😀😀

    Got to get Chicklet to her interview on time - Guildford traffic is notorious in the morning.  Yes LG, this would be for when she graduates 🤞🏻  Thanks all for your positive vibes, I’m sure they will help her shine ☀️☀️☀️

    Good morning, busy I truly can’t remember when I slept right through a night.  I am much worse for moving to the country 13 years ago
    hope Chicky enjoys(?) her interview 
    Pat we have started watching deep water,  what a story, so possible!
    punk so glad Moira doing so well, don’t let her do too much though
    Right best get done to the dogs🤞

    It’s dust Lilyp.

    I suspect that's more dust than rain LP.  Not good.  How's Talla?

    Glad that Moira is doing well Pdoc and that Brian Cox lived up to expectations.

    Digits crossed Chicky.

    Traffic problems myself this morning.  Out at 8:45 to take Rasta to be shorn and had to scrape a thick layer of frost of the windscreen then got to Moutiers to find it's being dug up for fibre optic cabling so lots of fun trying to work my way round to the doggy shearers in the middle and back out again.

    Just having a dose of caffeine before tackling that green room.   Looks like a lovely sunny day to come and yeah, we have iris reticulata in the acer pot and in the bed under the magnolia and snowdrops finally peeping thru in their bed.  Never had mini irises come back in Belgium so very pleased.

    Morning all/afties,evening Pat. Can you see anything yet or are you still fogged in by the dust? We're always moaning about weather here, but at least we don't really get anything like that. Hideous :(
    Glad Moira is back to normal, doc. That's great news for you both. She'll be bossing you about soon enough - and rightly so  ;)
    Sorry your dog is so unwell LP. I'd missed all that. Fingers crossed for improvemnets soon. 
    I'd rather have the frost than the murk we have today Obelixx. Last two days were lovely here. Back to dreich and damp. I love those little Irises too, but they don't last well. Didn't do any this year, but I might get some in autumn. Lovely when they come through. Snowdrops are budding up and looking ready here now. One or two almost ready to open.
    Fingers crossed for chicklet. I won't cross toes in case I fall over...
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Good morning all :smile: Hurrah!  I took some painkillers and slept so much better ... I’ve been having a lot of arm and shoulder pain and realised that it’s probably due to the porridge breakfasts I’ve been having every day to help my cholesterol levels doing what Benecol did and reduces the effectiveness of my levothyroxine for my hypothyroid condition. 🙄 it’s a bu$$er. It’s already been established by the medics that I’m very sensitive to fluctuations in the levels🙄  So I’ve stopped the porridge breakfasts and soon the thyroxine levels should build up again and the pain should fade away again. When I’m back to normal I’ll try having oats in the evening instead and see how that goes.  Having hereditary high cholesterol and being hypothyroid is a difficult combination 😠

    Yes Fairy, it’s horrible out there. No rain. Very serious fires in northern NSW. This wind is very widespread - all over the State and others as well.
