Slept 11 hours last night. Nice, but the aftermath of this cold is getting to be a drag.  We've had strong winds and some rain overnight and the wind and rain are carrying on now between sunny spells.  OH's golf was cancelled because of the storms so he's watching golf on TV instead altho all the lightning seems to be over Italy and the Alps. Looks like @Busy-Lizzie's getting a good soaking. Â
I shall get on and do the write-up for the patchwork tutorial - patched, quilted and fully lined zipped pouch for pens/pencils/make-up/sewing paraphernalia.
No fireworks here except at NY or the Fête du Lac in the village in summer and, occasionally, Bastille Day and then it's just one night and one set, no random "bangers".
Saw the Oz train ride was on just by chance so have recorded it. We did the Ghan from Alice Springs to Adelaide - lots of nothing apart form an occasional bunch of cows under a tree full of cockatos or galahs.
I hope everyone gets some sunshine today and fair winds.
Morning love, it's quite sunny in Tamworth this morning although it has chucked down overnight it's very wet outside. Won't be doing much gardening today as I've got to help out my friend cooking his dinner and a bit houseworkÂ
Glad you're on the mend @Obelixx. I'm trying to fit a new pull switch on the girls' shower. It's not doing my sore neck any favours. As is the usual - all screws are overtightened.... I should put this on the Curmudgeon threadÂ
What up with your neck bab ? I suffer neck pain with was found to be osteoarthritisÂ
@punkdoc I'm so used to my many aches and pains that it's quite nice to have one in another place to take my mind off them. A day on a hill is less painful frankly. Well- it's still painful - just in a few different placesÂ
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Makes you hanker for the days when folk went to church on a Sunday morning to confess their sins and then tried to be nice to their fellow men and women for the rest of the week 'cos their god was watching them
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Big bother. I went up the drive (1km) to empty the bins in the village, post a letter and buy some bananas in the village shop but a tree has fallen across the drive and it's resting on the phone line. Not a huge tree, more of a long branch about 9" diam, but I couldn't lift it. I rang 2 local farmers, the log man and a French friend in the village. All out except one farmer who can't do it before tomorrow at the earliest. I have a hay delivery coming tomorrow morning and I have to get to the airport and the house sitter is coming to house sit on Tuesday. I rang an English friend, the one who runs the church sewing group and her husband will come this afternoon. Phew!Â
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Right - tea has been drunk, so I'm off to tackle the screws which don't want to be screwed again.Â
If you hear swearing - just ignore it....
