People,you should never have OOD antibiotics,you have to Finnish the course. Someone mentioned throwing tablets out. NO, don't put them down into the water course system either, take them to your local pharmacy
I hope everyone in the area ravaged by the storm is OK. It's cold, wet and a bit windy here in south Norfolk.
We've just been to the farmers market in the village hall. I bought a pheasant, veg, raspberies, bread, cake and a pork pie. We had breakfast there, coffee and bacon rolls.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Very blustery today and there's rain about but the radar shows it gliding past us either side or stopping just short of us. Humph. Maybe get some later when the next wave descends form up north.
The stupid knee has been painful for a few days so I'm staying in and keeping warm apart from visits to the chooks. Frustrating as I need to be sowing broad beans and moving the more tender fuchsias to the polytunnel and there are tulips still to plant.
I hope nobody's had terrible storm damage. I know how devastating that can be.
Hugs to all feeling low or poorly.

We're just back from our favourite GC. Had lunch there, they revamped the cafe during first lockdown. Much smarter and less canteen like, table service only now, but though the food is nice the menu is much more limited. People were buying Xmas trees already 😮
We bought ours on Thursday @Allotment Boy and have removed the log at the base, trimmed the end and put it in water, outside. It'll last a lot better than if we left it drying up in the shop and getting droopy.
A restaurant has opened up on the seafront at St Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. It specialises in Savoyard dishes and has put ski lift cabins on its terrace for outside dining. I found that amusing and suggested to OH that we try it. "We'd have to talk to each other cos you can't do people watching in one of those." Ha!

@Obelixx, yes we do that too but I buy mine from the farm up the road, and never before the 2nd week of December. Leave it outside in a tub trug of water until a few days before so it lasts to 12th night intact.
Pleased that my son was able to briefly pop in for lunch, suitably masked, distanced and tested beforehand. Didn't stay long as he had a 2 hr trip home to Bournemouth, across country lanes so has promised to text me when he gets there. Lovely to see him. I didn't realize my arbour had blown over, it's top heavy with a climbing rose tied to it but fortunately fell over backwards into the hedge, so no damage apart from me having to cut the rose off the top. Good news @Didyw. Sorry about the painful knee @Obelixx.
Bitterly cold here today, we had about 2 inches of snow and I lost the door off the g/h, but no other damage. Suits me fine as I am still really crook, although have at least been out of bed most of today.
Little sis is quite ill with COVID, been in bed for 2 weeks, one of the hazards of being a teacher.
Our new NDN had a baby 2 days ago, at home, brave or stupid? He is called Simeon and apparently both are doing ok.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@punkdoc How lovely! Women have had babies at home or in the fields for millennia! It's probably wise for some women to have babies in hospital with medical facilities on hand but many who don't have the likelihood of complications would much prefer a quiet, low tech birth at home or in a local maternity unit just with midwives on hand.
Sorry about little sis tho. Such a worry.

Hope your sister feels much better very soon @punkdoc … as for you, take it steady.
My younger brother was born at home on a quite remote farm with just a visiting midwife and her ‘assistant’. Apparently Ma had to get on with it herself as Pa fainted and the midwife thought he’d hit his head and left Ma’s ‘side’ to tend to him! He’d helped at many callings but this was obviously different 😂
It’s wet and windy outside but nothing dramatic. I’m snuggling down now so night night folks. 🥱 Keep those hatches battened down.
