    Evening.

    That’s really good @chicky. I was going to type that I wonder if Christmas will be cancelled but I thought that is too pessimistic. Then I thought, I actually wouldn’t mind. What a miserable one I am! 😂

    I hope you are all doing ok. 
    I did a pre-rain tidy of the garden earlier - all the trappings of the recent sunny days, like chairs and tools, put away but hopefully not for long. 


    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    @Fairygirl my OH struggles with Paracetamol let alone codeine so no jokes here.  I'm sure the Doc will confirm that lots of people react differently  to these things.
    Typical after waiting weeks for my Chalky finish spray paint to finally topcoat the garden bench the rain is on it's way. We eventually tracked down the paint we wanted to a site that looks as if it supplies graffiti artists. I asked the GC's on zoom if that meant I have to wear my cap back to front  and start saying yo & iniit. They just laughed uncontrollably -can't think why  :D

    That made me laugh Allotment Boy. Can’t imagine why! 😂😂😂

    Hello everyone. Still no rain here either, but the prediction for the days from Wednesday on are rain, hail, storms and snow. Ha! I’ll believe that when I see it. I suspect the weather channel just says that every now and then to keep us watching. 😉

    I like your cross stitch very much Chicky. Lovely colours. Doesn’t it feel good to finish. I should start getting back into mine, but there are so many other things I should be getting into. Like - practicing on the Ukelele. I keep walking past it, say maybe later, then sit down with either do a jigsaw or play with a colouring book. 😒 my finger tips will be so soft that it’ll be agony to do more than a few minutes. 

    Best wishes to all with sore bits or worried about family. I find that one Panadol cap is enough for me if I can’t put up with a persistent ache or pain. I don’t do it very often. Mostly I can put up with it. I have a bad left ear as a result of swimming in tropical water holes in the 60s. There is a grommet in place, but sometimes it gives me trouble. 😡

    We’re off to town this morning for Hubby to have his toe nails attacked by a Podiatrist. They have been very strange since the chemotherapy. We don’t have nail clippers designed for elephant toes nails.

    Morning, folks, I see we did in fact get the welcome rain, I looked on the weather map last night, it looked promising, but we live in a village outside Eastbourne, and often it completely misses us because the South Downs are a few minutes walk away.  I havent been out yet, and checked the water butts.  My Hubby cant take any painkillers, if he gets a headache, he will put up with it several days, because even 1 paracetamol with upset his gut big time.  I am on another forum and people were talking about going to for excersise, the NHS guidelines say you can go out once a day for excersise.  We have 2 dogs, Hubby is at home, so they have had some 2 and 3 hour walks.

    Morning all

    @Fairygirl cosdine makes me funny too. I am prescribed it and the box says take 1 or 2. When I first was first prescribed them I took 2. I was slumpt the settee not knowing what day it is, i was so fuzzy and tired. I didn't like it. I am ok on 1 so just take 1 and it does it job. I mentioned it to the dr and he said it can be a side effect.

    We woke up yesterday and it had rained over night. All the gardens and trees looked so refreshed and green. It is a lit cloudy out there today but nothing that I think will bring rain. I think rain is forecast tonight.

    Well done with the cross stitch @chicky it is lovely.

     I am at work today. Dreading it. I hope today is much quieter out and about than yesterday. No social distancing between people and it was very busy. I was told that on Sunday our beaches were busy. I had a push notification this morning on my phone with a headline about visitors coming to the Yorkshire Coast. I will be reading it later on.

    Have a good day all 😁

    Morning ll. 
    It's raining, and I'm happy. 
    Oddly, there's a moorhen in and out of our little pond. 
    We have resident coots down on the lake, but never seen moorhens, certainly NOT in the titchy wee pond by the house.

    Morning all/afties Pat. My toenails are quite hideous,especially the one which was stood on, and damaged. I often lose some of the little ones when I'm walking. I suppose that's one advantage of being confined to barracks for a while.
    Made me dizzy too @PurpleRose. I was given them when I tore my shoulder two years ago, and I stopped taking them right away.  I had to take oldest daughter to A&E one Christmas a few years ago when she reacted badly too. Must be in the genes! 
    I think a lot of people are ignoring the distancing. I saw that a police officer had abuse from groups of people out having barbecues in Yorkshire over the weekend, in some of the beauty spots. There are some sections of society that simply don't give a s**t about anyone else. 
    @Allotment Boy - you missed out 'bro'  :D
    Raining here, so that'll keep some of them indoors for a while. It'll help settle the water levels in the new pond. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    looks like we’ve had nothing more than a light drizzle ... enough to lay the dust ... we could do with a bit more please ... (but not too much) 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Is that the ones who had no tax/ insurance either @Hostafan1? I don't know why they don't just crush the cars right away. 
    I think there's more rain coming your way later @Dovefromabove, if the forecast's to be believed. Mind you, it's wrong about here - not for the first time  :D
