    Glad to have started an ice cream distraction.  Will fight you for the mint choc chip Pdoc.  And you for the honeycomb Dove.  I am making good progress in my mission to try all the flavours that are on offer 😋.  We are in NSW @Pat E - mostly Coogee and Sydney, but went out to the Blue Mountains yesterday - stunning under a blue sky, and appearing to regenerate after the fires (the vegetation that is, the wildlife will take a long time to recover).  





    Off to Whitsundays tomorrow for a few days.  Loving spending lots of time with littlest chicklet.

    Glad I am missing the Feb weather at home - sounds like it has been grim/scary for lots 😯

    You should get plenty of rain in Qld Chicky. None here. Still I really can’t complain about blue skies.😁. I’m glad you’re enjoying  your visit. 

    I’m having a lazy day today. Maybe get the Ukelele out and practice some chords and rhythms.

    We're doomed! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51683428 We visited there, our local Health Centre, this afternoon. Haslemere was infection central in the BBC programme "Contagion" on flu transmission last year which was repeated the other week in light of the coronavirus outbreak. Life imitating art.

  • Good morning all  :) ☕️ 
    Leap Year Day !!! 
    Grey and drizzling here in Norfolk. Not windy @Busy-Lizzie ... have a good trip. 

    To return to ice cream ... some of you will know that I’m also a member of a foodie forum ... we were discussing things we haven’t seen lately ... I have been given the task of keeping my eye open for Tutti fruitti 🍦 😋  ... I last  ‘saw’ 😉  some on Cromer prom at least 20 years ago .... has anyone here any more recent ‘sightings’?

    None on Coogee Beach @Dovefromabove .....and they have many flavours to choose from 😋😋😋

    Keep washing your hands @steephill - that’ll sort it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Oh dear!  Nice here, sunny and Roland is going Moor walking.  Probably rain later by looks of forecast.

    Tutti frutti is another ice cream no-no for me @Dovefromabove.

    Very noisy, windy start to the day with hail and sleet but calmer now.   Staying clean and rested today as we're off out dancing tonight.   

    As @chicky says, just have to keep washing your hands properly @Steephill and remember that "coughs and sneezes spread diseases".  

    Hope your ferry journey has gone well @Liriodendron.   Here's some befores and faters of my recently completed annex to cheer you on.   We had builders in to insulate walls and ceiling and finish them plus a tiler and then I did the rest - painting walls and old unit plus fitting worktops to recycled units from the old kitchen.
     
    No more OH parking lawnmowers and golf clubs and trolleys in there!

    Thanks.  It's unheated so is mostly used in summer but it's good to have it done at last.
