Hi BusyL. It looks as though your life will be a bit easier with the paperwork done. Hope so, anyway. Every little thing helps.
Yes, I’m sure Pixel will miss her little excursions here on the property, however she’s due for immunisation in January, so she can have a run again then.
Am sure you all want a laugh, yesterday I went down to my "cutting" garden, the chrysanths were so top heavy, and we have really high winds, I picked up a cane, desided to shore up the biggest plant. I lent over the raised bed, luckily recently cleared by Hubby. There is some rainbow chard on the left, and one cherry tomato still fruit and ripening. The stick snapped as I pushed it in, you have this nano second of realisation, a quick, "can I stop myself falling", nope, just relaxed, it had been raining several days, ground nice and soft. There was wire supports on metal post, because of the remaining tomato, luckily, the old man had just pushed the wire through the supports, so as I fell they collapsed, I didn't get garrotted. Very soft landing, got up laughing my head off, even the soil brushed off me, it also saved me actually cutting some of the big stems. You will remember from your science days at school, about forward momentum.
Hi all, lovely sunny day here at last, but colder. Just got to walk down to the dentist again, for a clean & polish. The wind has dropped thank goodness so I should enjoy the walk. OH has a whim to get fireworks for his birthday at the weekend - men!
Good morning. We've had more rain overnight and everything is very soggy so I've been lazing about catching up on the September and October issues of the RHS magazines. There is now a small part of brain churning over ideas for a prairie garden without the boring grasses - been bubbling gently for a while but getting louder now.
Now the news is on and dreadful stuff in Austria. Religious people who truly believe do not go around killing each other. Terrorists, thugs, criminals, people who are naturally violent or easily brain-washed and radicalised do.
Hope you get a dry walk @Fairygirl and that Pixel can come for her hols again soon @Pat E. I was going to plant garlic but it's too wet underfoot so that will be tomorrow now. That gives the chooks an extra day to play in that bed and remove pests for me but we'll have to cover it afterwards.
I hope you are getting enough chocolate @punkdoc and Moira too. Shaken off the anaesthetic yet @Hostafan1. Big hugs to everyone feeling low or poorly.

Steady on @Nanny Beach - impromptu gymnastics not advisable garden activity at the age of 27 That said, I'm going SCUBA diving at the bottom of the lawn now
Whoops! I've just had an agitated @Wonky Womble on the phone 'cos I've not posted on here this morning ... I thought I had ... but it was on Curmudgeon's Corner 🤣🤣🤣
So sorry to disappoint but I'm still around ... I've had son on the phone being miserable 'cos the internal investigations of his ear by the consultant yesterday have caused a raised temperature, even more tinnitus and gunge and he's pee'd off. I've also been making bread and gammon and pea soup and dancing attendance on the washing machine, sweeping floors and reassuring Wonky
Now I'd better drape washing around the radiator in the study and give the soup a stir ...

Soup here too @Dovefromabove - spicy carrot and lentil with plenty of fresh ginger and chilli. Warming and comforting but light on calories. Thin day today. The chooks got all the carrot peelings yesterday afternoon but, strangely, preferred to carry on fossicking about in the veg plot now they've found the strawberry bed and the soft fruit patch and the slugs and snails in the cabbage patch.
