Morning everyone, @bluebellsintherain I fell asleep on the sofa too. Took me awhile to go to sleep again, but slept well in the end. Hope you did too. Hope the weather is good for you @Ladybird4 when you visit your sister and her family. That's a lovely gift from her children. Have a lovely time together. Ooh thank you for the crumble LB.😋😋 Need a cup of tea, see you in a bit.
The mattress topper should come before Thursday. It will probably come tomorrow when we are going out to lunch with our best friends here.
That horrid cockerel is still here, crowing away at 6am. Where is the fox when you want him? The cockerel roosts in a tree that overhangs our garden at the back, very near the guest bedroom. I chased him away with the broom.
How many brothers and sisters do you have LB?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good morning everyone . LB how exciting to have a suitcase turn up after all these years .Lily I need a cuppa too .Busy I hope your topper arrives soon .Have a good day folks .
Good morning Busy, that is possibly not the best wake up call for you. I have three brothers and two sisters Busy - but I'm the boss! Both sisters are married and two brothers are married. Handy brother and I did not go down that route. We just bask in the delights of a myriad of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews - loving the fun and laughter we have with them but so happy to pack them off to their Mums and Dads when the day is finished.

Good Morning Bluebells, Lb, SGL, Busy & Rubee and all to follow, Bluebells Sounds like you had a good sleep last night, Nel is curled up on my bed no hard feelings anymore 😽 LB That is a nice gift for your youngest sister & OH from their family, hope you & handy brother enjoy meeting up with them all fingers crossed for good weather 🤞 SGL You are right there is always an out of date item lurking somewhere in the cupboards 🤨 Busy What a rude awakening 😳 hope the rest of your day is more relaxed, Rubee Hope you have a good day too, Need to get a move on, have a good day everyone.
Morning all from the comfy armchair. I need to start setting an alarm so that I don't fall asleep downstairs and actually make it to bed
Determined to get out and about today. Need to achieve something as yesterday was pretty much wasted.
Doesn't help that the tree-feller fella might turn up on any day between now and the end of time . The prospect of somebody trampling all over the emerging bulbs, whilst lopping large chunks of tree onto my property (and brand new fence ) whilst I'm not here gives me the fear! Can't really do anything about when they turn up though (as I'm not employing them). It's just making me more of a hermit than normal.
Morning Biglad, I would be exactly the same - guarding my plants and borders ferociously and standing as near as is safely possible to the task. Hopefully you will get a sympathetic lumberjack.

Morning all - seemed to miss posting the last day or so but I'm still here!
Not much to report other than they've agreed to refund me for the little chainsaw / hand pruner. The money's not in my account yet but I'll give them a couple of days before I start chasing again.
Took a gamble yesterday and popped the "Dry Clean Only" arm covers from the sofas in a cold wash. They were really quite grubby. They seem to have survived ok so, hopefully, I'll be able to wash them a couple of times a year now. Deliberating whether to risk the seat cushion covers (same fabric) now...
BL - I'm another one who doesn't like a hard mattress. I used to - but when we bought a new one many years ago the girl in John Lewis advised us that a really supportive but softer mattress was the best option for most people. Took a couple of weeks to get used to it but now it's the most comfortable mattress in the world. MIL has a rock hard mattress on her spare bed - nowhere for your hips and shoulders to go into and you can feel all the springs - dreadful. Woke up with a bruise on my hip after one bad night. I keep wondering how to tactfully suggest she invest in a really good mattress topper. JL do one which gets rave reviews - maybe I should suggest buying it for her.
Chive - Jetson is a very handsome cat and is looking very content in his new home. Looks a lot like young Oliver who comes to keep me company🥰
Rosie BB - think you're going to need your snuggle cape this weekend!
Debs - hope you had a lovely birthday.
Hello to everyone else. SM is calling - see you all later.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Hello all ... it was a beautiful morning here first thing, but it's clouding over now ... I've been watching a pair of bluetits hopping about in the Vib. bod. while waiting for my nail polish (it's really a clear nail hardener) to dry ... then i've got some handknits to wash and a shopping list to compile ... I have been asked to make a Guiness Chocolate cake later this week for OH's manager who is leaving. That's the problem with good managers, they get promoted ... but everyone's really pleased for her. Glad they're refunding your money @Topbird ..... any news from the garage 🙄
