    I have one @Lily Pilly and it goes into 2020 so you can carry on if necessary.  PM me your address.

    Funny about the "performance".  Our Rasta is a drama queen too.

    That could lead to major onfusion @Busy-Lizzie and a pain about the rain.   However, I'm considering going one step further than @Chicky and leaving all our garden furniture and cushions and rugs out to see if that brings on any rain.  We have clouds but no wet stuff in sight for ages.

    Would a notebook not do @Lily Pilly ?
    Glad woofy is ok.  :)
    Glad that Jiminy Cricket's ok too  @Hostafan1. I wondered if you had left it in that bum bag you had on on Monday...  :D
    Wee bit of rain here at lunchtime, but it cleared up in the afternoon so I got on with a few jobs. 
    Bit confusing @Busy-Lizzie with the same names. Reminded me of that Monty Python sketch where they were all called Bruce...

    @Lily Pilly. There should be lots of Academic Year diaries in the shops and online at the moment 😊

    @Fairygirl - I went Greek island hopping in 1978.  met up with anurse form Barts who was chasing some other nursing firends after a sell with her Greek doctor boyfriend fell apart - cultural differences not on display in London, clearly - and we found them on Santorini.  All wild in the way nurses on leave can be and had met a bunch of Ozzies chaps to play with so everyone was called either Bruce or Sheila.  Some very serious "Atlantis" archaeologists got them thrown out of a taverna for unruly behaviour.  Only being boisterous.

    We’ve been watching a large hedgehog and a smaller one huffing and puffing at each other on the terrace as they both wanted to go into the feeding station and there’s not a lot of room ... we put some extra food out on the terrace so they could both feed ... think we’re going to have to build an extension ... 😂

    Morning all. The rain has moved on and there's not a cloud in the sky.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 

    Glad it’s good for you @Hostafan1 😊 here it’s overcast and we’ve had a bit of drizzle. Geese flying overhead makes it seem quite autumnal 🍁 🍄 

    The car has been passed fit to make the journey to the southwest 🐬

    Morning all/afties Pat if you're there
    You can have my posh hoghouse/feeder @Dovefromabove. Not seen any sign of them at all this year :/
    Ungrateful b***ers   ;)
    Glad the car is fit and ready  :)
    Rain is keeping away for now here, but it's a chilly old  breeze up the kilt. Tomorrow is to be a bit hideous so I  hope I might get a few things done today if there's some dry spells.

    Morning. 
    I wrote a little message last night, mainly to say what a busy week in work it was but I didn’t send it - presumably proving the point that I was tired! 
    Woke early and dozed a bit but having some fresh air now. The light is gorgeous this morning - and making the garden look Autumn-like.
