    Morning. Very pink Autumnal Sky here too. 13 degrees in bathroom so have put heating on before I jump in the shower - can’t face that otherwise! 
    Thanks for my congrats folks x

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Have you come down from your high yet @AuntyRach;)
    Morning all/afties Pat if you're around.
    A wee frost again here this morning, and a bit of sun, but I think more wild stuff coming tonight, so I'll get a few things done outside again. 13 too, but in my bedroom - the window's open in there though  :)
    Hope the knee is ok today @Obellix. Mine have been a bit iffy recently.
    Didn't the young girl [ D.A.Smith] do well at the athletics? 
    Lovely jubbly. 
    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.   Bonzo is on fine form this morning thanks but still a bit whiny.  He's a happy, joyous dog tho so cuddles will fix him.

    My knee is grinding along @Fairygirl, literally, and I'm losing mucle tone in my thighs which is not good.  Hoping for some positive help today so I can get back to normal activity levels.

    It's 9:15 here and the sun is not yet up over the hedge across the road tho there is band of golden light below a higher layer of cloud.

    Great news from the athletics @Fairygirl ... I’ve been glued to them since we got back from our holiday. 

    Hope you can get the knee sorted @Obelixx ... glad Bonzo is gently getting back to normal. 😊

  • Good morning, Missed you all yesterday - B&B & had to go to the launderette as washing machine still not fixed - apparently the repair man is 'very busy' I did explain I have a tearoom, a B&B and a child and am in desperate need! Actually starting to wonder if it would just be easier to get a new one.  :/

    Thanks for the extra big hug the other day Hosta.   :)

    I'll say congratulations to Aunty Rach - sounds a great effort and obviously well done - although I actually missed what it is you've passed - Well done anyway.   :open_mouth:

    Hope everyone else's creaky knees and hips are bearable, including Bonzo's. 

    Must go, delivery man on his way in and yet another load of laundry to get sorted - and a birthday party of 38 to prepare for tomorrow evening and cupcakes to bake for a birthday on Saturday - just another day at the office.  :#

    Good day to all.

    My knee has ben X-rayed, prodded, flexed and stretched and then had a needle stuck in to extract excess fluid.  60ml!  Ouch.  I have 3 consecutive appointments in December and January for infiltrations to smooth over the remaining cartilage - won't cure the problem but will stop it getting worse.  Then I can have physio to put the muscles back in my thighs.   Says I should be good for years.

    Very exercised about B****t as he has a daughter who's just gone to London to study international law and marketing and was made to sign all sorts of forms to make sure she's allowed back in after she goes home for the Xmas hols.   

    He also took X-rays of my lovely neck vertebrae because I have a cage there holding 3 of them apart to keep my nerves safe because arthritic vertebrae can't have prosthetic discs.  Apparently the French approach is different from the Belgian but I told him my chap there was considered leading edge and it was working fine.

    Home via the SM we use in La Roche and which is undergoing a major reorganisation because it's that time of year when the French stock their cellars with wine.  Huge area now devoted to wines - all French so, as we still have not grasped the multi-farious complexities of detail needed to know terroirs, weather conditions thru the year, which socks he wore when tramping the grapes, we won't be stocking up a year's supply at once or laying any down for the future.

    I could cope with all the baking @Dordogne Damsel but not having to ice and decorate.  Hope you get your machine fixed soon.

    Unfortunately not @Dovefromabove - 5 screws in each foot and the cage in the neck.  The rest is increasingly creaky with arthritic bits and not being able to walk the dogs is doing horrors to my muscle tone.   Just have to keep trucking along and stay busy.
