    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 

    Fingers crossed for a plumber @Busy-Lizzie 🤞 
    The moon is shining through the window here … I’m in bed with my coffee, bathed in moonlight 🌝 

    Glad you’re feeling a bit better @D0rdogne_Damsel … don’t overdo it tho’ .

    Morning all. Gardening for me today and then collecting well rotted farmyard muck when I've done.

    Morning all 😀

    I’ve got an online embroidery tutorial this morning, then a trip to Portsmouth this afternoon to get PCR’d 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.  Just had a negative LFT , so hopeful 😃. My sister is still in their Covid attic - Day 8 and still showing positive.  She is triple vaxxed and just has a head cold as symptoms …..but she’s getting fed up.  Only so much TV to watch and books you can read.  

    Hope today is the day your plumbing gets sorted @Busy-Lizzie. What a pain 🚿🛁🚽

    Morning all, I looked out at 6 and the back garden was illuminated by a glorious full moon. It was a bit chilly though so I took my coffee back to bed for a while so it could warm up a bit. Still frosty now but a beautiful sunny day.

    God morning to you all!!

    Bright, sunny and windy here.  Cold of course - the wind seems to make the air feel colder.

    Yes, @Busy-Lizzie  Fingers crossed.  I hope he gets the job sorted out quickly and doesn't have to come back.

    @Pat E   Evening!  My late OH was a builder so you really get obsessed with the weather and now after his demise 10 years later, I faithfully check the weather forecast and temperature.  To stay or not to stay (in bed!!)

    @chicky  Good luck with that PCR and then it's wings to the Caribbean!!

    Time for a coffee and a go at Wordle now.  It's hard slog having to get up, tidy breakfast stuff away, shower etc.  Need a coffee break!

    Enjoy your day.

    @tui34 I'm a farmer's daughter who married a builder (@WonkyWomble's Papa).  No one could take more notice of the weather than me 🤣  When we were growing up woe betide us if we uttered a word while the weather forecast was being broadcast  :o

    I've just received this email

    "...The expected change regarding the use of Visa credit cards on Amazon.co.uk will no longer take place on January 19. We are working closely with Visa on a potential solution that will enable customers to continue using their Visa credit cards on Amazon.co.uk. 

    Should we make any changes related to Visa credit cards, we will give you advance notice. Until then, you can continue to use Visa credit cards, debit cards, Mastercard, American Express, and Eurocard as you do today...."

    I refused to play their games; I cancelled my Prime membership and did not get a different credit card ....... it seems I may not have been the only one ... 

    I will not give Amazon the power to choose who I do my banking with.

    Same upbringing @Dovefromabove   Dairy farmer's niece.  Spent all holidays with my Nana there in the North Island.  Then OH and I became market gardeners.  He kept up the building side to keep the bank away from the door (1980s recession in NZ) and I was the donkey!!   Back to France - the building continued and I took a course on how to become an English language teacher and teach people how to say "quinoa"  and "London" (and not Lon-don - to rhyme with 'on') !!  Heh! Heh!

    Morning all,

    I'm not a fan of Amazon, d-fab. I don't use them at all.

    Not as bright as the forecast suggested here. No rain though so I can have a potter and a tip trip without getting wet :)

    😉 @tui34 .... the old villagers where I grew up would call it 'Lunnon' ........ many had never been there ... one old chap had been abroad once ... he said he'd been to France but they'd shot at him there ... he 'wernt gonna go ter furrin places agin'.  'Deb'num' (Debenham ... the next village) was far enough for him.
