    Hi again all. I’m glad some of you are playing with the jigsaws. It helps me a lot when I’m feeling a bit locked in.Ā

    Good morning everyone.Ā  Sunny here after another cloudy night and set to get to 25C again.Ā  No doubt more of Bruno wandering around in his boots and knickers!

    I'm off to the SM when I've had another coffee and will be using my new mask.Ā  It occurs to me I have enough fabric offcuts to make one to match all my cotton frocks should this thing go on that long.Ā  Ā Hoping there'll be white flour for OH's hot cross buns tomorrow.Ā Ā 

    @Allotment Boy do you have a local baker/bread shop who may have some fresh yeast to sell?Ā  There was loads at the fresh bread section in the SM here last week but no dried and only 3 packets of baking powder left.Ā  I bought one of each.

    Planning to weed and plant in the rose garden this pm.Ā  Hope everyone has a good day in their garden too or whatever else you're doing - working, playing, taxi-ing..Ā  Hope Fairylets are doing OK now @Fairygirl .

    They're fine thanks @Obelixx. Hope you're getting somewhere with your daughter tooĀ  ;)
    It's quite frustrating for some youngsters though - hard enough for us, supposedly wise and sensible older folkĀ  :D
    I'm going out with younger fairylet later to get a couple of things we couldn't get, but mainly because she goes back to work on Saturday and is a bit nervous as she hasn't driven for three weeks. I know she'll be fine, but I don't want her panicking. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't do it, but she'll need petrol too and on balance it makes sense. I'm just glad she passed her test when she did - that would have been another PITA if she hadn't!

    That's a good confidence boosting plan @Fairygirl.Ā  Ā Just be careful about handling the petrol pump.Ā  Ā Possum is not answering her phone or messages on FB.Ā  I send her a quick message each morning and evening about our day and hoping she's OK but in a day or so I shall get cross.Ā  I know she's worried and alone but there's a line where that becomes selfish and stupid.

    Kids eh? Hopeless sometimes...
    At least mine live with me, so even if I hardly see them, I can always check they're still alive by putting my head round the door.

    @Busy-Lizzie- the Jigsaw Planet site allows you to select the number of pieces for a jigsaw, so if you don't fancy doing one with huge number of pieces, you can alter it to below 100. I do that with a lot of them, and I tend to make all mine under 100 when I put them on the site.Ā  :)
    Yes, I know, but I'm so horribly competitive that I like to see other people's scores which they only give in the original version.

    A climbing rose, "Souvenir du Docteur Jamain", and a couple of other plants are coming this afternoonĀ  :)
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I have to admit - I do the same @Busy-Lizzie, but my hands get very sore and I need to use a mouse to do them. I often think I've done quite well, and then I look at the times and there's about twenty people who've done it quicker!
