Thanks folks ... bless her, we'd not met up since the pandemic struck, but she was ready to go from all accounts ... from having been incredibly active and still making art just a couple of years ago, she was becoming more and more confused, needing full time care from her family, and the use of a wheelchair ... she was fiercely independent and would have hated that.
We are home now and the shopping has been unpacked. Another coffee has been made and I will begin to wake up ..........

Hugs for all my forker friends ❤️. Now Dove, did you remember MY slice of frittata! My hubby has had flu jabs nigh on 30 years,never any reactions
Past few years a different one to me, because hes 8 years younger,this year he got after effects,he had the same one as me. Obelixx,you said that I have an awful lot of washing for just 2 people. I have the grandkids all week,half term. They've been here since Sunday. Bought them new wellies yesterday took dogs to woods,muddy clothes. THEN,last night, noticed grandaughter, who has a diary,had got a blob of ink on the sheet. Thankfully, I bought these thick quilted mattress covers,(brand new beds and bedding last year,) it had gone a little onto the mattress cover,but luckily no further. I tried stain remover, oxy stuff,then had to use undiluted bleach. Wasn't planning on washing bedding till the weekend!
Sorry @Nanny Beach ... none left. Tonight's supper will be a spicy spatchcocked chicken with lemony tomatoey olivey couscous .... but there's got to be enough left for a salad tomorrow ... and then a soup ...

Good morning Forkers. Sunny here today which is a relief as the misty stuff hung around all day yesterday in the lower parts and made driving home last night a bit eerie.
Love your native flowers @Pat E. Very cheery and dainty too.
I have been down to see the chooks and give them their breakfast treat. Scruffy is perkier today. yesterday she didn't eat enough of her medicated food - pecked at low hanging yellow pear tomatoes and weeds and seeds in the soil - so I got Possum to hold her while I squirted neat medicine down her throat. Gotcha! Today she's got mixed grain rice infused with thyme and her meds. We'll see.
I've also sorted the shallots which were drying on a tray and are now hung in metal hanging baskets cos I needed their drying rack for the walnuts. Sewing for me next then some sowing in the polytunnel so I can keep Scruffy company for a while.
Have a good trip @punkdoc and enjoy the visit. Sorry about your friend @Dovefromabove. @Nanny Beach I have special little pots of stain removers for blood, tomato ketchup, grass, oil etc so I never have to resort to nasty bleach.

I'm sorry about your friend @Dovefromabove, sending hugs.
I've just been into town for a Covid test, negative thank goodness. My Day 2 test came back void so I had to do another test or self isolate for 10 days. OH is taking me out to lunch today, late birthday treat, didn't want to miss it.
A floater suddenly appeared in my right eye. Apparently they are quite common in older people. Do you think I should get it checked?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks @Hostafan1. I knew there was more to him than just weather and drums.
The other 4 are looking very bonny now they've done the feather renewing thing @Pat E. Fingers crossed Scruffy catches up tho she'll always be tatty I think.

I had a titter this morning whilst visiting Hubby. He tweaked the sleeve of my T shirt and said " Humph, you're not doing much ironing are you? " Bless'im
