@Dovefromabove - I noticed my message was still in draft this morning yet you said thank you?? Strange. You must have sensed it! I had written to say thinking of you and your brother.Â
Take care everyone - particularly those with worries, ailments or bad weather.Â
It does that all the time @AuntyRach - still keeps drafts even when you've posted. Annoyingly - it also does the opposite - you press Post and it only savesÂ
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Another fine day here, yesterday was beautiful too. Unfortunately that's the only positive thing I can find to say at the moment so I am not saying anything else.Â
It's seems the same for so many at the moment, my sympathy goes out to all suffering with worries whatever they are.Â
Here is a couple of pictures I took on my evening walk yesterday, I did a big circle so didn't actually go far from home and surprise surprise no gendarmes jumped out of the forest to check up on me anyway.Â

Try and keep your danders up folks, and look for the positives amongst this sh!tstorm!
Good morning everyone.  Misty here again but will clear up later and stay dry. Tomorrow is not going to be as filthy after all but I'll still make a new rain hood for the chooks altho they're happily out exploring the potager again and will no doubt learn how warm and dry they'll be fossicking in the polytunnel when it's wet. Â
We have a trail cam set up and the only activity is our cats and dogs.  The entire plot has a mesh fence round it and there's additional hedging and trees inside much of it so no foxes or badgers or wild boar which do lurk in the nearby woods but no hedgehogs either.
Lovely cheery post @Biglad. Hope you can continue seeing the positives. Â
@Pat E - take advantage of the wet stuff to cuddle Pixel and maybe do some colouring? Haven't seen any pics for a while.
I'm off to potter till it's bright enough to go outside.  Stay safe everyone and hugs to all who need them.
Indeed @Biglad. Negativity creates ever more negativity, and it's just a vicious circle, or a downward spiral. See the small, good things each day. I've become pretty good at that in recent years. Lovely pix @D0rdogne_Damsel - put them on the camera thread too, so that more people might see them. Evening light and morning light are both stunning  Thrashing down here, so I'll need to see if there's any break to get out. Should have gone as soon as I got up! The winds are severe, over 50mph gusts, but going round here isn't as exposed as being on a proper hill so that doesn't bother me. A shame you don't get hedgehogs @Obelixx, although the wild boar on a camera would be entertainingÂ

My glass is always half full ... always has been ... I was brainwashed by reading Pollyanna as a child, and by Ma telling me that worse things happen at sea. She always said that ... at that time I didn't know that her first boyfriend's ship was torpedoed during WW2 ... all hands lost.Â
When folk go on about letting the youngsters have their fun and stop worrying about Covid it makes me so angry ... my parents ' generation gave their teens and twenties for five years in order to protect the future ... why shouldn't today's youngsters learn to square their shoulders, grit their teeth, put others first and stop feeling entitled to have fun?  I know a lot are behaving responsibly, but some of them are so selfish .... older folk too, I know its not just the youngsters. Grrr!Â
Right, rant over ...Â
We've had a beautiful sunny morning but it's clouded over now and the wind's getting up ... OH is at work and I've sorted the kitchen out and renewed my virus protection stuff on the laptop. I shall do the bases and tomato goo for tonight's pizzas, write a note for our neighbour ... proper old fashioned fountain pen and nice paper, not a card as I'm not going into shops and I don't think a handmade one is appropriate. Then I'll go into the studio for a while ...Â
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Forgot to mention @D0rdogne_Damsel's pics especially that last one. We had that lovely full "blue" moon in a clear sky last night. Fabulous. Still grey here so far.  However, fish and seafood drawers in the freezer have been sorted.  Salmon fillets out to thaw for dinner and lots of fishy stuff coming up in the next few weeks.  Also found a proper English black pudding and some venison so some meaty dinners too and no need for a big shop for a week or two.
Hello all, lovely sunny day here, washing out and coffee taken on the terrace. Both our freezers are almost full as we have kept up our supplies during the summer as we knew what would happen come Autumn/Winter with the covid, it wasn't hard to predict, and I fear their will grim times ahead. Trying to find a positive each day as Fairy says is a must for our sanity. Â
) Still got the weird"tooth/jaw/gum" ache going on, Dentists cannot find anything to be the cause.
Ive had a niggling tooth like yours for more than 3 years, when it flares up I use Anbesol liquid stings when you first put it in but only for a second, Â it really does work.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.Â
