Ooh lots of catching up to do ... hugs to all with ‘stuff’ in their lives ... thinking of @Hostafan1 tomorrow 🤞 ... sweet dreams everyone ... night night 🛌 😴 🐑
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning all/afties @Pat E if you're there, or maybe you're recovering from partying Gloomy here, but the rain has stopped - for now. I'd lend you my flippers @Dovefromabove, but we really need them for the foreseeable... I've just noticed your post from yesterday @D0rdogne_Damsel. I wish you luck, but don't stand for any nonsense.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thank you @Fairygirl, 4 years wiser, I hope it makes a difference. 🙄🙂
Very windy here, had to divert because of a tree down blocking the whole road. Apparently some without electricity or internet, usually means we get busy.....
Now another member of staff had had to go and get tested for Covid19, her son has come home from boarding school ill....more staff rota issues, always when I'm trying to escape to go on holiday. She doesn't think he's got it bit of course they've all got to be tested, I'm hoping results will be back by Friday, he next shift is on Sunday as she'd already booked some time off, fingers crossed. 🙄
Right, back to work, such a lot to do, so little time. 😮
Hello everyone. Quiet day here but warming. I’ve got the front door open! First time since summer.
Our son is coming down tomorrow to get some more photos while the weather is fine. His uni course requires some stuff that I’ve not bothered to find out the details of. 😏 Prediction is for bad weather later in the week.
Best of luck DD for your family plans. Hugs to Charlie.
Wow - 4 years @D0rdogne_Damsel - how time flies! Hope the hol goes ahead, and you get a little time to enjoy it. Nice to have the door open @Pat E. Not happening much here now - not without a jacket on anyway Hope the bad weather isn't going to be too bad though.

I hope everything gets sorted @D0rdogne_Damsel and you manage to get off and enjoy your holiday. I knew about Ryanair because OH is stuck in England and will have to wait for Easyjet in late November. I don't think he minds that much as he likes being in Norfolk, at least he said he misses me.
The buyers of my house said I could leave some furniture here but I'd wanted to sell a couple of good items to help pay expenses.
A garage sale may not work @Obelixx as I am in the middle of a forest down an unmade up drive 1km long 4kms from the nearest village. I've always been nervous of advertising things, especially when I'm on my own because of security, though I did open my garden to the public. Mostly English garden lover people came to that though, not all and sundry. I bought hay once from a farmer who then came snooping round at dusk and said his wife didn't understand him. I threatened him with the gendarmes and eventually he stopped coming, but it wasn't pleasant to say the least.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I can understand that @Busy-Lizzie. I know what it's like to have a stalker. Living somewhere more remote just adds to the problem. I'm afraid I just get rid of stuff when I move if necessary. Life's too short, and I'm not sentimental about possessions. Just how I am. I have a few things of my mum and dad's, and mainly photos and my Dad's recordings, but one thing I have which upsets me a bit is a silver napkin ring, which had been wedding presents they'd been given. My sister took one and I have the other, but I'd rather they were kept together. I keep meaning to say to her that she can have the one I've got.

We've had a wet and windy night here but nothing remarkable. Forecast says wet from Sunday onwards so, apart from golf tomorrow, OH's body is mine all mine - digging duties for tree and shrub planting!
Blue skies now but looks filthy to the north and west where the storm is still blowing past. Hope you chaps are all OK as it tracks across southern England and heads north.
@Busy-Lizzie - could you organise few local friends to come and sell some stuff they want to offload so that you have company for a sale? Do check out Le Bon Coin - online local selling and buying. People collect what they buy so no need to give an address till you find a buyer.

From the looks of the forecast we may need snorkels, flippers and a boat 🚣♀️ today 🌧
