Morning everyone, came out of yoga last night to cold fine rain, you know the sort that's like drizzle, but soaks everything. Dry bright morning now, window cleaner wants to come today, can't be 6 weeks already! Have a good day.
Morning all,bit late to the party, watching the Repair shop. All fish stinks. Our lounge/kitchen is open plan. The old man had scampi,I kept the extractor on for hours afterwards. Two days later the whole bungalow still smells (and you know what I'm like about opening windows. THEN 2 days ago, wondering why my kitchen smells fishy again......old man working in the garden found a sardine tin, luckily it was in the veg plot,which is fenced and gated, because my dogs would have got hold of it,and probably be cut to ribbon. He washed it out in the sink before putting it in the recycling! Off to Hobbycraft, I knit or crochet poppies. We have done the money donation. This year I thought I would whip up some purple ones as well.
Just booked my flu vac for next Tuesday in our last village pharmacy. I will have to pay for it, but that's fine, worth it. I had an invitation in France, would have been free, but the vaccine hadn't yet been delivered.
Sunny here, BBC said it was cloudy. I'll plant some more violas.
I don't feel like taking the stinky fish back, Waitrose is 25 mins drive away. Fish is wrapped in 3 binbags in the bin, with its label.

We have fish usually twice a week but I wonder now whether it’s doing us more harm than good, horrible farmed salmon bred in most despicable conditions, M&S passing it off as Sustainably caught, or sustainably caught from the sea, full of micro plastics.

Oooh no ... don't take the fish back @Busy-Lizzie ... just the label on the wrapping ... you can rinse it off and put it in a plastic bag so it doesn't smell.

Give them a call, explain the problem and your distance and I'm sure someone will sort something out to suit you. I know our branch would
The label would still mean 25 mins there and 25 mins back, petrol, time, hoping traffic and last week's road works don't cause delay, @Dovefromabove. Not the Waitrose you go to.

Did anyone watch Inside the Care Crisis with Ed Balls last night? He found it quite enlightening, part 2 next Monday. I would love to see the likes of Boris and JRM doing the same thing.
Bright and sunny again here but it's taken me a while to surface and sort out everything from yesterday. Busy busy day and more to come today. Was shocked during chat after dance class that none of the others - all French aged 40s to 60s - didn't know why 11/11 is a national holiday and didn't know the significance of all the streets named 8 mai - 8th May/VE Day. I know the French don't go on about the war except for still recognising old Resistance people as heroes even now - but that's a bit much.
Anyway, preps for 15 litres of mulled wine or cider this pm cos the garden club uses 11/11 for an autumn plant swap and picnic lunch. we'll be outside so it should be OK with current restrictions. Forecast is sunny.
T'other dance class this evening. Maybe a quiet day tomorrow?
Hope all are well and the poorly ones are recovering or at least resting s tehy can recover. OH and Possum have colds but nothing deadly. They can keep that to themselves!

Just back from visiting Hubby in the care home.
3 of the 15 residents on his corridor are now in Covid isolation.
