I'm sorry your OH was suffering from his arthritis @Rubee. I know how you must feel as my OH suffers from his hip. Did I say his angiogram scan was OK, but now they want to do lung function tests before he has his hip replacement?
Late start today. I woke at 6am, thought "bother", went back to sleep and was woken by Son 2 on the phone at 8.30am. He was on his way to work and felt like a chat. Then a friend rang to say they'd sold their house and were moving back to England, Somerset, to be near their son. They sold their house quite quickly to a young couple from Bordeaux. It has a huge garden. Then I had a shower, then OH rang. Only just had brekkies. Must get in some more logs before the stove goes out.
Yesterday afternoon I had to go to the Post Office so I had a wander around town. I've hardly been into the town since I moved here. It had been market day in the morning so hardly anyone was there in the afternoon. The few people there were all wearing masks. I haven't been to the market for months, avoiding it.
There was a lovely little haberdashery, loads of fabric for patchwork and trimmings and buttons etc. Really old fashioned. I bought some curtain lining as the black out stuff I bought in the big fabric shop in the big town is too heavy for my curtain material. I'll make a separate black out curtain with it to hook on in summer if necessary, especially when Daughter 1 comes to stay as she likes her room pitch black.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Lily i m glad you slept through. LB good news your friend had a safe journey back. I hope you enjoyed your outing. Topbir d they do seem to search for warm areas but quite risky for your m home. It's good you discovered this. Ante it's good you could also watch the new Month Don series. Happy Birthday to Hazels son, many happy returns! Busy I hope on tests go well and it is a step nearer to getting sorted. I visited mum and dad and then back after lunch.
Good afternoon everyone. I have done quite a bit of knitting today. Handy brother has accepted an offer on his house so it is all systems go now. I've just finished loading a lot of larg(ish) cardbord boxes from Bestie's family members, into the boot of my car ready to take down tomorrow. I've also put my other brother's birthday present into the car too - only so I don't forget anything first thing. Marti has finally departed from here Biglad but it is FREEZING outside now. The flood in the Cres. could turn into an ice rink! I now have 4 new panels in situ. Next door neighbour fitted them on Thursday whilst I was at Bestie's and as I got home in the dark I didn't spot them until Friday morning. He has done a great job so far - can't thank him enough.
Busy, one step forward then another step back for your OH - so frustrating for you both. I share your love of haberdashery shops. I can root about in them forever. I'm the same in that famous DIY store as well!
Hazel, it seems as though your son has had a great birthday and how nice that you could spend so much time playing with 23. He will have loved that.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
LB good to hear handy brothers accepted an offer and things can move ahead. I hope you've enjoyed your knitting. Do take care on the crescent road. Chive I hope you've enjoyed today, a break from school. I hope your all keeping warm. Hazel it's good to put the heating on during these cold days.

Marti is in permanent residence here today
It's been quite rainy today. This afternoon I've been doing stuff I can't mention on here. Dirty but not cheeky!
