    It is light here but very half-hearted about it - grey and wet for my first day free to go out and get mucky.  Plenty of indoors activities to get on with but frustrating. 

    No alarm clock here @Chicky, just a purr from a hungry puss after OH snuck out very quietly to go and play golf.   How long now till you're free?

    I hope you've had some pleasing amounts of rain @Pat E and kept your leccy too.

    Still here folks. The storm has passed I think. As far as I know we’ve had about 10 mm. Pretty good for us.

    Morning all/afties Pat. Has the rain made any difference?
    Plenty here, although it's eased off a bit for now and brightened up.
    I think chicky said this was her final week @Hostafan1, but maybe I've got that wrong :)

    Hi all

    The sky is a funny colour today [ blue ], have not seen that for a while. Need to summon up some enthusiasm and get outside.

    Do I recall that @chicky has some TOIL owing to her?  and maybe some A/L?

    Morning all.
    Blue sky, I'll plant some violas in pots this morning.
    Going to the church sewing club this afternoon with F from the village. My fingers are too sausagey to do fine hand work, they are making an altar cloth which involves dainty patchwork by hand, so I'm just going for the tea and chat.

    Finally got the plumber on the phone, he said he'd asked the carpenter to ring me if he couldn't come yesterday. He didn't. Plumber said he'd send me a message with the carpenter's number when he got home, but he didn't. I sent him an email too so he'd have my address. Need the carpenter to mend the bathroom floorboards before the plumber can put the loo back.

    Has anyone read this?

    As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...

    "In my great and unmatched wisdom" ?????

     I don't know if it's the funniest thing I've ever read, or the scariest.
