Good morning everyone.  Had an @Hostafan1 night so have only just surfaced.  Hope all goes well with your op.
Lovely film and birdsong @Pat E and a very practical prezzie. Happy Anniversary.
It is dull and grey here and the rain is now delayed to this evening and it should stay quite warm at around 17 or 18C.  More rain on Sunday and Monday tho so tree and shrub planting to be done on Wednesday and Friday.
Looks like Possum may be staying a bit longer given news from Belgium today - curfew, meetings limited to one other person etc etc.  Brave of Ireland to announce a 6 week lockdown. Hope it works.Â
Have a good day everyone whatever you're doing. What's the subject today @chicky??
That's good @Liriodendron. Don't want you getting like Jack Nicholson in The Shining... I actually watched that the other night, with a few naps along the way] - I haven't seen it in decades. He was brilliant in it. Bit of a drag for your area, and the whole country too, from what I can gather @Obelixx. At least you have the chooks to keep you sane It's cleared up here thankfully, so I'll do Popmaster and get out. Enjoy your day everyone, whatever you're doing.Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
No real changes here @Fairygirl except for wearing our masks when we took the dogs to the beach yesterday. Far fewer people than normal for half term, mostly walkers with a few kids making castles and nearly everyone wearing their masks.
Seems daft having to wear a mask on a beach like that @Obelixx
I can't hear a thing on Pat's bird recording, turned my volume up to maximum.
Morning all.
Mild and gloomy with showers today.
Daughter 1 and family have gone. I gave her her share of the pictures, some LPs and DVDs, a set of dinner plates, some duvet covers and some bits and pieces that she likes such as a copper coffee pot and a blue and white wooden model of a sailing boat. They will come back with a van in November to take some furniture. It was lovely to see them but weird not being able to hug.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've started on the waterlogged area out the back with a view to that being the destination for the raspberry canes that I ordered this morning, thanks to d-fab & @Fairygirl . No more digging today, though. Giving my back a rest and I've got errands to run!
Not quite @Biglad. Must have been about 50 other people walking, some with dogs too, and some people just lying up by th edunes taking the sun and a few families with small children and all the deck chair and windbreak paraphernalia.  Acres of space tho. Got to love it.
@lyn Many pages back you asked about the stone used in the monument on top of Black Down (think your OH was interested) .....National Trust have got back to me:
Our sculpture has been made with Derbyshire stone by Graeme Mitcheson, as the local stone (which would have been in keeping) would be too soft and not big enough to make such a piece as this, however it was visually similar to the local stone.
Lovely beach @Obelixx - and I'm not really a 'beach' person. I think I was slightly confused[ no surprise]Â by your post re the new measures. I realised when I read again, it's the Belgian measures that are new, not yours. Some heavy skies here. Almost time for the old Frankie Boyle joke 'there's a deep depression over Glasgow. And now for the weather forecast'. It's all moving north, so it's dry for now, until the next lot comes in later. I might take some cuttings once I've had some lunch. Have you given up the idea of a pond then @Biglad?Â

Good to know that things you've cared for all those years are going to good homes with your family.
Perfect beach @Obelixx - desertedÂ
