Morning all. Still windy here, the trees are swaying.
Glad you are feeling better, Dove.
Must look up jerk chicken, not something you see in Dordogne. I think it will be a housework day today, though we did hoover everywhere yesterday between us. I'm at the stage of needing glasses to see the dust
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm not even going to begin to explain the dilemmas of my day yesterday, all I can say is nobody died and nobody cried, well not much anyway. Ever onwards and it'll be all fine in the end.
Glad you're feeling a bit better @Dovefromabove, bad news re table @Yviestevie , I feel your pain....not in the foot though. How frustrating @Nanny Beach , reminds me there are plus points of being single. Wind @Hostafan1 and @Fairygirl - hang on to your hats. @Busy-Lizzie If you can't see the dust without your glasses I would be inclined not to bother put them on rather than do H*******k
Must go now, stuff to do....just hope it's a more productive day than yesterday.
Good day to you all.

Good morning to you all. @Dovefromabove I hope the exercises will help long term. I get neck problems too and I try and remember to do exercises as a prevention: Yes; 10 times No; X 10 Ear to shoulder; and head rolls.X10 Sometimes I will be reversing the car and my neck will go - bang! @chicky- would love the recipe for jerk chicken please. @Fairygirl I hope you have a restful day - shelve that hoover!
I was awake at 5.15am with all good intention to weed spray but there was a faint breeze so I waited until 7.30 when it was quieter. Feel good with myself for doing that. Sorry ants! Having a coffee with cheese on crackers and home-made tomato relish! Have a good day, everyone.
I'm considering just going out even though it's quite wet, and obviously pretty 'brisk'. At least I may not need my new T shirt The NW has had gale force winds, so hopefully there's no real damage there. Flood warning for north of the central belt though. Par for the course for May! I do need to hoover, but I'm struggling to find the motivation. Doesn't take long- small house @tuikowhai34 ... Just to let everyone know- I've heard from Obelixx again, and she's hoping to be up and running soon.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Morning everyone. It’s been a miserable cold day, weather wise here today. I’ve hardly been outside. Never mind, lots of interesting things to amuse us with computers etc.
Look after yourselves. Dove, I hope your neck is a bit better.
@tuikowhai34 I understand the yes and no X 10 and the ear to shoulder, but what are the head rolls? I have had problems with my neck since having a neck dissection operation a couple of years ago.
Glad everyone survived the trauma @D0rdogne_Damsel, whatever it was ((hugs))
Bread is having its first prove ... kitchen is relatively tidy. Supper will be a sort of tapas sofa picnic ... I made the tortilla yesterday, we have cold meats and salady things, and some lovely lettuce in the garden ... OH brought some new potatoes home from a shopping expedition yesterday so I’ll make a potato salad as well ... think that should prevent the onset of starvation. 😉
The wind has got up again so I’ll not potter into the garden ... don’t want a drought on my neck ... I might do a bit of sewing ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@Dovefromabove - the t'interweb is so slow for her that she can't really post. Even an email is a bit snail pace. I take it you meant 'draught' not drought. Or was that a Freudian slip? I forgot to say re @D0rdogne_Damsel's trauma earlier. Hope it isn't too serious? Forgot I have to take fairylet senior to work. I'll faff around with 'stuff' and then see if the weather is vaguely more clement. Not holding my breath....

Morning all. Back from the shopping/dropping off run. It looked a bit busier in the SM car park today. Just home before a really heavy downpour, which included some hail.
@Fairygirl@Pat E and @Dovefromabove I am sorry to hear about your weather. @Pauline 7 Headrolls must be done gently as I hear lots of clicking when I do mine. 1. Chin on chest. 2. SLOWLY roll head/ear/chin to the left shoulder (look left) then slowly roll head back (don't force) (look up and back). Then head/ear/chin on right shoulder (look right) to straighten up looking down and chin on chest. 5X5 starting with left side and X5 to the right. A small group of us used to have "soft" gym at a physiotherapist's and these were the warm-up exercises. Shrugging shoulders X10 is a goodie to add too as well as rolling shoulders backwards then forwards X10 or X5 because whatever you do to loosen up that area is beneficial. With that, I wish I could say I did them every morning, but I don't - until my neck cricks again!! I wish you well!
