Good morning all 😊 ☕️ oh @D0rdogne_Damsel 🤯 🤗 what a juggling act indeed! Sunshine here today 🌞 this morning’s plans include a quick dash to the farm shop for fresh food for the weekend … then some time in the garden, if it doesn’t get too hot 😂

I keep thinking of you today, DD. It seems so unfair that you get penalised for his decision. I do understand that it’s too risky to let him continue to prepare food if he hadn’t been vaccinated, but you’ve worked SO hard to get your restaurant established, it seems unbelievable that you’ve got all the extra worries. My sympathies to you and I hope it works out soon.
Your rain didn’t arrive, here. 🙄
We are both very tired. La Tour doesn’t finish until after 1am our time every night, and we stay up to watch. Trouble is we don’t want to miss any of it. 🙄 I keep thinking it’s only a couple of more nights, and then Hubby reminded me that the Spanish one will start. Oh well, it’s our choice after all.
Good morning Diggers! Commiserations @D0rdogne_Damsel I hope you get the correct help you need. Your chef won't be employed anywhere (chef or not) if he hasn't been vaccinated. So, really he has no choice. But that still leaves you one short of your team. Good luck.
Still windy and cool here but I see that your temperatures in Blighty are warming up.
Had a pleasant meal last night in the village promenade with our neighbours - needed a warm woolly though.
Sunny start, as forecast, and set for 26C today. We're off out for lunch at the beach today. Have been out watering pots on the terrace and need to do the front pots and potager pots next then get cleaned up and presentable. Haven't been to a restaurant since last October when I met up with @D0rdogne_Damsel.
Your French chef sounds like a PITA. I do think you need to consider your opening hours. Most places allow themselves at least one day closed a week here unless they're just seasonal beach/resort places and only open from Easter to Halloween. The two in our local town only open at midday and the third is a pizza/grill only open from noon till 9:30.
I hope you're getting ahead with organising care for hubby @Hostafan1 and also managing to get some sleep.
Looks like we got Possum's goodies out of Namur just in time as both the Sambre and Meuse and many smaller confluents are flooding their banks for miles upstream. It's bad in Liège too and Germany has taken a beating from immoderate rainfall.

Good morning all. Sleep is very elusive. I wish I had £1 for everyone who says " You look totally exhausted " Thanks again for the good wishes. I'm genuinely touched by them.
The combination of having just had his Section rescinded, cancer and dementia is making him somewhat difficult to find a placement.
Tough situation @Hostafan1 … but if there’s no place else for him they’ll just have to keep him where he is. On no account must you agree that you can care for him at home. It’s not safe for either of you. 🤗

Absolutely Dove, I wouldn’t recommend looking after folks at home, if they can be found a place and they don’t object it’s by far the best. I did it because my parents asked me too and I needed to do it as a repayment for all they done for me in the past (It wasn’t easy in those days) It’s not as easy as it sounds.
It’s more of a problem in the country areas though, there are not that many places.

Morning all. Looks as though it will be a lovely day.
@D0rdogne_Damsel, I think I agree with @Obelixx. You will work yourself into the ground. I think you should close for a day each week and have a bit of breathing space. I think the staff will appreciate it too.
I'm going to plant the new plants I bought in that plant nursery.

Take it easy everyone.

The sun is out again here. Was too warm when I was training at 6.30 so I imagine I may be perspiring in youngest's garden this afternoon

Hosta, you’re in our minds and hearts.

If @didyw pops in there is a message for her.
