Morning all (it's just morning looking at the time)
I am hoping it brightens up this afternoon as I want to do a spot of gardening. We had torrential rain from late yesterday afternoon through the evening. The ground is very wet but I am pleased as I got up to a very fresh looking garden if you know what i mean.
I saw your post about Twinkle @Yviestevie. I am so pleased that Twinkle is doing well.
Happy May Day or as they say in France .... Un brin de muguet pour toi...Que ce bouquet de muguet virtuel t'apporte le bonheur pour l'année à venir ! Joyeux 1er mai !
It's raining again though.
I have just had a socially distanced meeting with a builder in my kitchen - all very bizarre, necessary but odd. He was all masked up and we walked around the 5 fridges lined up in the middle (empty & unplugged) examining the state of the walls in a sort of strange dance. Anyway, I have to do a bit more prep for him and he is going to finish it all starting from Tuesday. It was a bigger job than I anticipated once I started stripping. He is very reliable and I have given him a key so he can work alone. Company for the cats too.
I feel your pain @Yviestevie and @Dovefromabove . My sciatic nerve has been playing up the last couple of days, I think it's that anyway, I do seem to suffer with it, Ibuprofen seems to help, sitting and lying down doesn't so I just have to keep moving. Rain therefore very frustrating.
Thanks for the tip @chicky I will definitely get around to watching Frankenstein, I studied that book at university, absolutely love it, as you say very poignant and Benedict Cumberbatch is an actor I admire too. Just hope I don't have to stand up to watch the performance for two hours.
Now what can I do with myself for the rest of the afternoon....dusting doesn't appeal that much....I suppose it might have to be cake making.
Good day all.

Happy May Day everyone. In France and Belgium we offer sprigs of muguets - lily of the valley - to bring good luck.
We also get a BH on the 8th of May, Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Monday which sometimes falls in June.
Not doing too well here. Head still fuzzy and now our internet has died and needs a replacement something for the modem or some such so I am being channelled thru OH's smart phone which is a tad slow. New piece on order but will take at least 5 days........
Hope your kitchen work goes well @D0rdogne_Damsel . I'm supposed to be painting 2 walls in mine but haven't had the energy lately.
Glad Twinkle is doing well @Yviestevie and hope you get good news of your mum soon.
Brain fried now so greetings all and keep safe.

Very messy day, Hubby has finished the bay window and I have managed to iron and put up the curtains. Wasn't easy with the trapped nerve but I can't stand the mess any longer. Firstborn sent me a lovely bouquet of flowers with a note telling me not to worry too much about mom as she is a tough old bird. We are having a card game via facebook tonight so that should take my mind off it a bit.
I am starting another little project in the garden. Hubby has put the ladders on the wall which has left me with a lovely space along the consevatory wall. I have ordered four troughs, which came today, and I will be planting them up as soon as the weather improves. Hoping I have enough compost otherwise I'll have to put another order in to Ashwoods.
Hope the sciatica improves @D0rdogne_Damsel I've been wearing a heat patch for most of today and it has loosened it up a bit.
that looks so good Fove. I feel hungry now even though its after 2am. I can’t get to sleep. A good book combined with my little snooze earlier while Masterchef was on. 😡
