@steephill ... I find that the thing with having a younger OH is that his eyesight is better than mine so he sees the dust before it accumulated enough for me to see it ... this can work to my advantage 😉 Hope your OH isn’t feeling too frustrated. My shoulders are hampering me at the moment and stopping me from doing stuff in the garden ... at least I can cook and knit I suppose ... and I have managed to clean the bathroom 💡 perhaps that’s why my arms are objecting ...?!

Oh steephill - I forgot to ask after your OH. Honestly - what a total drag. I take it her swim is completely sidelined? As you're almost house trained, I won't offer to come down and help out with the chores. It's a wee bit far.... Can you do the washing machine? Open door, put clothes in, add powder [or whatever your choice is] fab conditioner to appropriate slot [if used] close door. Switch on. Make tea/coffee and wait... doc - what is that twut's problem? Glad you're keepin' the heid. Mr Nott was on the breakfast news t'other day. I didn't hear all of it unfortunately.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi everyone not been logging on for last few days, nothing exciting, just wanted to make the most of the fine weather. Set up the monster water butt just in time, it's half full already after overnight rain. I had a big bash on Allotments on Weds strimmed and mowed grass, strimmed and rotavated green manure into beds,so I sympathise with you @Dovefromabove my shoulders & neck are suffering too! (Nothing to do with 30 years of motorcycle riding of course). Volunteer day at Capel Manor yesterday not so physical but still tiring, though enjoyable. Sorry to hear of injuries & ailments from others. Andre Previn had one of those young looking faces so I had no idea he was that age.
Hi all sorry to hear about the people with their aches and pains. IF any of you have any spare rain I badly need it we still have not had any real rain and the bit we had does not reach our dams. my garden is looking sick and dead, i just keep my pots alive. Have been feeling rather homesick at the moment not sure what will happen here after the election lots of talk about the land story and also odd talk about taking over private properties. I enjoying the trip that chicky did and the photos are lovely.
Same with Cornwall, all the rain is what keeps it green. I remember, quite a few years ago visiting my aunt in north Essex, and the further I drove up country, the yellower it became, I was pleased to get back to see the green road verges and fields.

Perhaps the more ad hoc arrangement will be even better, islander
V successful shopping trip. Got presents for niece and nephew, the seed potatoes I wanted, and also remembered a few things like buttons for Trill's trousers, leather polish, a headphone splitter etc that I've been meaning to pick up for ages. Purse is considerably lighter but I don't often go shopping (generally hate it) so I hope I can be excused.
Sounds like you and OH are in for a fun few weeks, steephill. Hope you're not too stiff, Liri.

First load of OH's washing already in. I've always done my own since my teens so can be trusted not to put red socks in with whites on a boil wash. Most of the time at least. Have now swapped sides on the sofa to give her the arm rest needed to support her stooky.
Hello everyone. Hugs to Mrs S and hope she heals soon. Maybe start wearing wrist protectors of some sort to break her habit and not her bones?
It's turned out sunny here after a grey start. Been to do the weekly shop this am and more painting this pm except that I'd been feeling nauseous all morning, was finally sick and have just woken up from a 2 hour nap so am feeling groggy. Maybe better to go and do some sorting instead of going up and down ladders.
Our shop included some onion stes, Princesse Amandine potatoes and 5 oca roots. That'll keep OH busy and out of the way while he clears the beds in the veggie garden. I have to plant everything tho as he has black thumbs.
Hope you get some rain Pat and Glenys. Hope everyone else gets some sunshine. We had menacing black clouds coming over as we drove to dance class last night but nothing came of them.
