Glad you're getting a trip out, @Pat E, even if the purpose is a bit mundane. Has your rain stopped? Â
@Busy-Lizzie - that sounds horrid. Hugs from me too! Hope the doc can provide some relief.
We saw that beautiful moon too last night, @Dovefromabove. It helpfully illuminated the wet country roads as we drove home from Limerick, where we'd been listening to an orchestral concert our daughter was playing in. It's less wet today, but colder, especially as the plumbers (at least 5 burly Irishmen! - more keep turning up...) have left the front door open to drain the old central heating out through a hose. At least the snow has stopped...Â
We can't complain about our weather here, in comparison with our friends in the Calder Valley, flooded again yesterday when the river burst its banks. Â
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Next door has suffered ... the gable end facing the road has lost several strips of cladding ... well, not lost exactly, as they're still attached at one end, so some 20ft lengths of PVC strips are waving around in the breeze ... I'm worried about their windows if they stay attached and my car if they break loose and blow around. The house is empty since the elderly gent died and his daughters are getting around to selling it .... I've left messages on their answerphones but one is in Scotland and the other is probably at work ...Â
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Been to the doc. Wound is infected, you were right @Dovefromabove, hurt like stink when he tried to clean it. Need to get antibiotics but the pharmacy is shut for lunch so will have to go back to the village later.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
