Hello Hosta. Well done and thank you for getting through it all, highs and lows. On the upside, you haven't missed the good weather - it's looking pretty decent for most of the week

Thanks. We had a shower of rain between Tintagel and Boscastle. I think more forecast overnight , but tomorrow looks FAB
That made me splutter my tea @punkdoc I hate to think what fairylet will experience when she goes back to work on Tuesday. Ah - the great unwashed. Don'cha just love 'em. It's the inevitable waste that I find abhorrent. I dread to think what's in the bins [now going to landfill] of people living in those houses where they were loading up their trolleys with gay abandon. If they'd only given more of it to gay and her family, it wouldn't be so bad...
We were lucky that ex got us sufficient goods on Wednesday to keep us going. He said when he was in the shop it wasn't too bad. I might venture out tomorrow - to the place he went, in case fairylet's shop is low on everything. I won't need an awful lot anyway, just to get us through till next Sunday.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Wet here today, for a change - we've had a cracking week for gardening, and it looks as if it'll revert to dry for a few more days from tomorrow. But the wet day was useful for some logistics... everything has had to move from its usual home in the last few months for the builder, plumber, electrician, plasterer etc. So I'd managed to empty the utility cupboards, destined to hold tools we don't want to store in the shed, apart from a cupboard full of pans. The pans had had to move from the kitchen to make room for the china, which we'd taken out of the sideboard because it needed moving round the room. Then we'd had to fill the sideboard with tools from the utility so the builder could move a door and replace the ceiling... meanwhile the only place we'd found for the best tumblers and wine glasses was the microwave... you following all this?? So today the pans have been languishing on the worktop in the kitchen so we could take the tools out of the sideboard and replace them in the utility cupboards. Then I cleaned the sideboard and put the glassware and china back into it... and finally I've washed the pans so they can go back in the kitchen cupboard... I definitely prefer gardening...

Where can I find this " gay abandon " of which you speak. Methinks I'm missing my share.
I missed a lot of my share too @Hostafan1 and @Fairygirl I did not have bread for 4 days due to the idiots playing Supermarket Sweep and emptying the shelves.
I have happily got up this morning to face another week as its Monday and it's raining. I love it when we have had a beautiful weekend and it is pouring with rain on a Monday morning. I hate it the other way around when it rains all weekend and we start the week with blazing sunshine
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ it’s cloudy here and some rain is due ... but actually we need a bit of rain ... talking to bro yesterday he says that although there’s plenty of moisture below te surface, the top couple of inches, where seeds are sown, is very dry and needs a few hours of rain to get germination going. That’s certainly the case here ... my seedbeds have been getting regular watering.

Perfect.
