    Good morning Chicky 😊 
    big Sorolla fans here ... afraid he was underrated here for a long while. Glad you enjoyed it 😊 i love train travel ... but then I don’t have to do it very often ... have a good day 😊

    Morning folks. Back home and flopping on sofa. I won’t  hear anything about the tests unless the Dr says they found something. Hubby home from his chemo. Yes Chicky, Hubby just past half way mark, so here’s hoping it turns out ok when he finishes. I must admit he looks different without hair though. Luckily his head has a nice shape. 😃 Good that you had a good visit to London on Sunday.

    Dove watch out for those dreams, they might come true.😏

    Morning all/afties Pat. Hope hubby is ok. He's getting through the treatments now, isn't he?  You can always get him a nice beanie hat for the winter! :)
    Do you read or work on the train, chicky? I like a train, but never go on them now. 
    Any time you're up in Scotland, I'll take you up a hill. I'll pick a nice easy one for you though  ;)
    Cloudy here, but dry for the moment. I might get a few things done outside, and take fairylet for a drive later. Her test tomorrow.  :#
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    😆 @Nanny Beach 😉 

    Have a look here

    its not just that (like all Impressionists) he understood how to paint light ... look at the painting of the women on the beach and see how, by using lots of curved lines, he gives the impression of a gusty wind ... brilliant 👍

    It’s the cookies that pay for the website ... same as the adverts pay for a newspaper or magazine. 😊

    I know Dove, and spread your email address far and wide.

    I don’t seem to get emails from anyone I’ve not given my address to ... except in instances where other people’s contact lists have been hacked ... and then they usually go straight into my Junk box without me doing anything. 😊

    Hello @Pat E , glad your OH is now halfway through his treatment, the end's in sight. I I've just had all the cardio and lung function tests as well which fortunately didn't show up anything untoward - just old age as the cardio consultant jokingly said! I'm still a bit breathless, especially on stairs and walking uphill and have been advised to keep as active as possible. I do feel better after losing nearly a stone in weight over the last 3 months. When you think about it, lugging extra weight around must make it harder for your body to function properly. I'm going to keep going and hope to lose another stone. Hope your tests come back okay.
