Morning all. Enjoy your day with DD & Charlie, Obelixx. We've overslept again, can't cope with the darker mornings (it's raining heavily) so breakfast will be late as I have to wait half an hour now after taking a special pill. I'm hungry!
Hello all, chilly day down here again today but looking forward to some lovely warm sun over the W/E. We had arranged to meet up with a couple of friends for lunch tomorrow but somehow wasn't sure if I would enjoy it as medical bods are asking peeps not to mix and meet up with friends so we decided to cancel. Not sure our friends thought much of that, but they do know what i have been through this year and i am still being very wary of everything. Neighbours cat was shut in one of our sheds for two days over the weekend, OH didn't see him when he shut it on Saturday lunchtime, but they didn't come round until yesterday lunchtime to see if we had seen him, very strange as he spends a lot of time with us indoors but we don't feed him. Enjoy your day out @Obelixx and stay safe everyone whatever you are up to.
Just back from the farm shop ... OH went in with the list and I waited in the car ... he said there seemed to be more folk in there than in Wrose down the road, but at least we’ve got the things we wanted, including a big bacon hock from the local curers, to make proper pea soup, and potted meat, and to eat with jacket potatoes and pickles and to do all those other things you can do with a bacon hock 😋
And he got some of their very good Scotch eggs and some pickled onions ... that’s lunch sorted 👍

We've got lots of goldfinches today, despite the heavy rain/wind @Biglad. They are fighting over the sunflower seedfeeders. You've got a good haul there @Dovefromabove, sounds scrumptious.
I know what you mean @floralies, I was thinking of meeting a friend for lunch but my son phoned yesterday to say he's coming to stay overnight Sunday. As he's got family I'd rather keep them all safe, so will self-isolate till then.
I thought people from different households weren't allowed to stay overnight? I know our rules are different from England's but I thought that was a no no everywhere. Plenty of birds here, although the blackies haven't been in together. Still too much food in all the hedgerows. Berry city round here. Fortunately, my worst fears about Dave have been binned. He's been for his lunch. He didn't appear yesterday, and there was a huge pile of pigeon feathers at the other neighbour who feeds the birds. That effing cat that lives along there. Very good item on R2 just now - a lawyer who deals with domestic abuse. A hero as far as I'm concerned. Managed an almost dry walk earlier. It's been wet since. The few beech trees left which still have foliage are lovely though. Not much I can do out there anyway, until a couple of things that need moving have totally died back.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Its drear and dank here today, but even in this weather the countryside of south Norfolk was beautiful ... oak trees glowing golden through the mizzle ... they did my soul good.

Going out for a walk soon. It might take my mind off something.
Have a good day everyone.

Tipping it down again. The birds are arriving in pairs in the back garden. What do they know?
