    Morning all!



    Hubby got a new lease of life once he passed the age at which his father died.  We don't always inherit the bad things from our parents... nor necessarily the good ones...   :/

    You and I didn't choose our parents very wisely.....
    Also guilty of the same... oversight!
    An interesting idea, Artemis, but I think parents should have the right to choose their children!  ;)

     What an interesting science-fiction chat!       

     With the power of choosing your parents and/or your children, the world should end up free, not just of unpleasant conditions but fatheads too!  Such a win-win!   ;)


    Hmmm ... if some of us make such a hash of choosing our partners        (first time round at least) heaven knows what a mess we’d make of choosing our parents 😨
    Dove, you have never failed to understand IRONY before, so I'm rather bemused by this, so earnest, a comment of yours.  :/
    Unless I'm missing something...... :|

    Hi all
    Been keeping a low profile for a while, usual health issues.
    However good news today, NDN has put his house up for sale.

    That is good news @punkdoc.  Glad you've popped in as I was about to ask where you are and if you're OK.

    We've been out and done the weekly raid.  Leclerc has loads of duck - by-product of foie gras - so we could have had a whole, but empty duck, for 4€25 the kilo or a whole liver (didn't even look at the price) or duck gizzards or confit duck legs or magrets for silly money too but we didn't.

    All home, unpacked and lunched and suppsoed to be out planting trees on a mild, sunny afternoon.  It's actually cold, nasty south-east wind and lots of rain so we're hibernating.

    I have rooms to paint too @Chicky but will wait for lighter days so I don't miss bits.  OH is chief leaf sweeper and bagger here.   Our first year's harvest should be ready now.

    Hope you get your walk @Fairygirl as your weather does not look clever tomorow.

    Hope you get some relief soon @Pat E.

    TGIF and have fun for all those with weekend plans, or not.

    That's great news @punkdoc I hope it sells fast and to someone nice.

    I've done very little today, apart from the supermarket.

    We're getting beavers! The National Trust are going to put a pair of beavers in a nearby valley (Valewood on Blackdown which Chicky knows) next Spring. I never thought I would see them round here as most other introductions have been much farther away from "civilisation". No doubt there will be some whingeing from ill informed locals but it will certainly bring in a lot of wildlife friendly tourists.
