Morning all,blast,beaten by Dove! I have emptied the dishwasher and put the stuff away,and sorted out the washing from the airing cupboard Does that count! Oh,so you add "humping" to assisting you in staying a size 10,SamB Obelixx,what does Possum do for a living? Went to Edinburgh a few years ago,won a weekend away, decided that was where I wanted to spend it. Found the folk extremely helpful and friendly, same in Glasgow (having been told by a friend in the Army there,that the Scots hated the English,and a few other things!) Visited the Botanical gardens,(of course,)Have made enquiries about the Military Tattoo next year Glad you have rejoined the land of the living Punkdoc 💗
Morning everyone, back to grey and dull here,but no frost. Volunteer day today to best get a move on. @punkdoc I am reluctant to give advice, but if it's dry and not too windy might I suggest a brief turn round the garden, just an inspection, you know it will make you feel better. 😉
Good morning Forkers. Bright and sunny again but still chilly at 4C and nearly 10am.
SM raid today and then sewing as I have to get some projects done by Monday for patch club - Xmas themed stuff so members can decide what they want to do in our December workshops. OH has disappeared to chase a wee ball about.
@Nanny Beach Possum is in limbo. Rules say she had to wait 3 months to apply for a carte vitale which gives her a social security number and health cover. Can't apply for jobs or unemployment benefit or even careers advice at the "pôle emploi" without the social sec number and now she has finally got one there are no appointments till December. In the meantime, she's started applying for short term jobs in SMs and the like. The Edinburgh trip should, with any luck, put her mind in a more positive place.
@Dovefromabove that green dress is not for women with curves.

It looks to be not too bad up in @punkdoc 's area today ... probably the best day he's going to get for a while, according to the forecast on my phone ... wrap up warm and get a few minutes of fresh air Punkdoc ... Meanwhile back here, while it was bright a little while ago, since then we've had heavy rain and a pretty impressive rainbow. Very kindly OH went out in the wet to pick the Cavalo Nero for supper before the weather gets any worse! He didn't want to risk me sliding over in the wet and disrupting his DIY plans.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh I disagree @obelixx ... a column dress can look amazing on a 'substantially built woman' if she's wearing the appropriate undergarments and has enough 'presence' and the right pair of earrings to carry it off. She won't look like the willowy model in the picture that's true, but do any of us look like that, whatever we're wearing?

Not if she has a well defined waist @Dovefromabove. It'd look like a tent on me. Good colour tho. I've just bought some green cotton for a summer frock - sale on - and then I can wear my lovely malachite ear-rings again. Still looking for green winter fabric.

I haven't gone! Daughter 1 rang last night to say that Daughter 2 has decided to go back to her own home this morning with her children. The medication the hospital gave her seems to have started working and she wants to talk things out with her husband. D1 said that if there was any change she'd ring before I left and she hasn't, so I'm staying with OH in Norfolk
Thank you so much everyone for your encouragement and good wishes.
