    Sounds good to me, some great talent there.

    I love him @punkdoc - there are many guitarists out there that could learn a thing or two about his skill, and thatĀ  'less is more'Ā  ;)
    He seems to have accepted his tortuous period, but it's hard to watch him struggle with playing. I still get very emotional when I hear him play Need Your Love so Bad.Ā

    Have no fear @Fairygirl I haven’t run out of chatter 😵

    Had a great catch up with my friend, the hours just flew past ā±

    Just been to a step class at the gym - out of puff now šŸ˜…. Ā Sitting down for a cuppa, then an afternoon in front of the computer sorting my last bits of work admin. Ā Then Garden Club AGM tonight ... always a bit grim, but as a newbie on the committee attendance is probably obligatory 😳. Ā It always amazes me the things people find to moan and nit pick about 🄓

    @Fairygirl Ā I saw him once, walking through Norwich near the castle with two ā€˜minders’ ... son was with me and pointed him out or I’m afraid I wouldn’t have recognised him. He didn’t look at all well at that time ... it was probably over twenty years ago now. He is of course one of son’s guitar heroes. šŸŽøĀ

    @Chicky - you'll have to grin and bear it.  Our garden club's GM is held on a Sunday in January and starts with coffee at 9:30.   It's tthe day after our monthly dance evening and the sun will barely have risen so that's still coffee in bed o'clock for me and I live 30 minutes away.  They expect members to come from all over the Vendée so longer journey times.   The only compensation is a catered lunch afterwards.   There is a lovely French poster that occasionally pops up on FB - Belgian friends on all sorts of different dance and social club committees - "Don't criticise a volunteer unless you can replace them".

    That was a gorgeous pigeon's nest.

    OH took me out to lunch in a dining pub in a village. Food is lovely, we've been there before. He said it was because he couldn't take me to the after theatre dinner that he'd planned last week because he fell over. His shoulder is still sore but the rest of him is much better.

    I've just been for a walk and found a new footpath, 2nd one I've discovered this week. I'm having to walk on my own, OH's hip isn't up to it. It's one of the things we enjoyed doing together.

    My back has been aching today, hard to bend over. I have arthritis in the lower spine, according to X Rays, but it hasn't caused much bother yet. Doc ordered the X rays last year when I had the 2nd bout of sciatica.

    Afternoon all - hope all are well and doing ok.

    The pigeon story... quite lovely.Ā 

    Just come in after round one of C*mas shopping šŸ˜. That’s all I’ll say about that on this thread in case people don’t want to think about that at the moment (or at all!).

    Going for a stodge dinner tonight - corned beef pie. I sometimes have the corned beef pie from the work canteen, but this week it was just the corned beef/potato bit with NO pastry top!! Very disappointing so had a jacket spud in protest.Ā

    Home now, and not alone.Ā 
    Methinks they'd have preferred him to stay in longer, but I'm Nursey No1 now.

  • Bet he’s glad to be home
    @Hostafan1. Tell him if he doesn’t do as Nursey says I’ll be down there with my very stern face 😠

    Have you got your wee uniform on @Hostafan1?Ā  ;)
    Methinks being in 'one's own bed' may help a tiny bit. Love to you both xx
    Not done very much today - a few small things outside, but it's a bit chilly, especially without gloves. 2 degrees just now, so I expect the frost isn't far away again.Ā 

    Take it easy @Busy-Lizzie. Is hubby still having some physio?
