Afternoon All, Just enjoying a cuppa, hope you’ve all had a good day.
Managed to miss-place one of the house phone handsets this afternoon, I searched everywhere before realising I could just call it from the upstairs one to see where it was 🙄 still I know for next time now! LB I hope this morning has been the start of a fabulous week for you, I do like these Snoopy cartoons. Do you have any news of Chey & his roof repair? Hope it’s all going well, Bluebells Glad Alfie seems better, maybe it was just something caught which has been dislodged by your gentle massage, Rubee How is the crochet coming along, are you nearer to finishing? SGL Sorry I haven’t watched the new Showtrail, sounds like it could be another gripping series, Hazel How satisfying to get rid of stuff at the tip, hope you find something nice in town after. Lucky you have been to Betty’s tea room, have you tried a fat rascal? I’d like to 😋
Pleased to hear the head cold is not bringing you down too much Dove, Busy Good idea using the big grab bag for leaf mulch, the mower does help to pick up and chop the leaves.
Biglad The fence is looking good, not an easy space to work in by the sounds of things and tough quality control inspections already taking place!
Afternoon all. I managed to get outside for an hour today until the cold drove me inside. All is fine in the GH but I need to get some more cutting back done in the garden - its green bin day this week and I want it full!
Hazel you will be pleased to have got rid of all the attic stuff today. Hope that you had a lovely mooch in town too.
SGL, I am recording Showtrial to watch when I have the time. Getting brain ready for the quiz onslaught tonight.
Chive, I chuckled at the picture you put in my head of you tracking down your handset. I hold my hand up to having (very occasionally!) to ring my mobile from my landline when I have put it down somewhere and I cannot remember where. Then I follow the sound. Thank heavens I rarely have it on silent as that could be very interesting indeed! I am pleased to say that Chey has had the roof of his flat replaced and just needs the decorating doing to hide the damp marks on his ceiling.
Biglad I think the pictures of Christopher and Nutkin are great. I reckon Nutkin was weighing up the possibilities of tightrope walking along that stretch of rope. Your fence is in a better condition than mine!
Busy, when you travel back to France for your booster, will you be able to make time to catch up with the family at all?
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Went for a woodland walk mid morning. The sun was shining and it was quite warm, had a bowl of soup and a crusty roll when we got back. By 2 o'clock this afternoon it had turned quite chilly. He he @Chivetalking wouldn't you have got the engaged signal 😉 We watched the 2nd episode of Showtrail this afternoon, it's good. I think Vigil lost it's way a bit. @Dovefromabove glad you're feeling a bit better today. @Biglad fencing is looking good.
Evening All, LB You’ve had so few dry days it must have been nice just to see what was happening in the garden with that opportunity today. That is great news Chey has a sound roof to his home now, hopefully the decorating won’t be too extensive and mean less disruption for him & Luco.
SGL Luckily for me the 2nd handset has a function to contact the other one. Your woodland walk sounded lovely this morning followed by a hearty bowl of soup & a crusty roll after, perfect 😊
It'll look a lot better when the panels are slotted between the concrete posts rather than just leaning against them
A small step closer today but I'm waiting on a BIL arriving with a stone-cutting device so that another of the gravel boards will slide all the way down to the ground rather than hovering in mid-air.
I also got some more bulbs planted today. Just a few tulips left now.
That's good idea @Chivetalking I've got functions on our phone I've no idea how to use and probably functions I have no idea I have 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣 It was lovely and very peaceful. Only saw one other lady walking her dog.
SGL your woodland walk sounds lovely. Did you go near the duckpond? Hope you scrunched through the fallen leaves I love the smell that you get in woodland during the autumn. I am signing out for tonight so I'll say night night to you all and hope that you have a pleasant evening.

We walked around it @Ladybird4 but didn't actually go up to it. There's trees around 2 and half sides of it and a huge grasses area around the rest. The grass was rather muddy to walk across and sit on the benches for awhile. But lots of leaves to swish through.

No more work done after the early morning session
