    I got up at 3am for the loo and the garden was bathed in moonlight.
    I was doing the same at 1am and it was so bright, I had to check the outside lights hadn't been left on.

  • It was great wasnt it 
 I opened the blinds at around 5am and lay here bathed in moonlight 🌝

    Bathed in fog here,  oh the joys of living on the edge of Dartmoor.

  • Huh, I forgot all it, looking at the cloud now it might not have been visible anyway.

    eclipse? There was an eclipse? Why wasn't I told?

    We keep old electric toothbrush heads for cleaning the dogs' teeth. They have their own electric toothbrush, obvs.

    Got a phone call from a GP, exactly a week after I was expecting it.  I could sense the stress. He was talking at 90mph. But it was clear that he cared. Fortunately, I knew what was  needed as I had received a copy of the letter from the consultant. A short phone call and  he would contract pharmacy to sort prescription. I was dubious but lo and behold the prescribed medicine awaited me..
    I can't stop thinking about the poor man who phoned me. It's just not right.  How long can you deal with  making life and death decisions on the phone ?

    You can use an electric toothbrush to aid the pollination of greenhouse grown tomatoes.

    We went to our local pub late this afternoon for a meal.  Walked in and the place was like a creche!  Buggies blocking most of the walkway, small kids climbing on chairs and tables, mothers totally ignoring the little darlings.  Thankfully they did leave after about half an hour but not before I had to twice ask them to move the buggies so I could get past.  Buggies moved with bad grace and filthy looks.  When we left staff had pushed the tables together and the chairs were leaning on the tables.  The floor was covered with dropped food and soft drink bottles, and the tables were nearly as bad.  Do these people allow their kids to behave like that at home?

    Yes @KT53. They do.
    my daughter gets new intake of children and mother will say ‘He’s a grazer’,  that means it doesn’t sit down for a meal, just walks around eating what it wants, when it wants.
    Needless  to say,  my daughter doesn’t allow grazing in her house,  it’s up to the table with the correct utensils,  which a lot of them haven’t a clue how to hold.
