Door man arrived, measured up, sent his estimate this evening.
Smart Meter man didn't turn up. I rang them and they said the appointment is on Thursday afternoon. I told her I had an email with the appointment for today. She said it was a typing error. What a pain, I was going to lunch with my friend who came last week.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning Forkers. It’s a bit cool this morning. I’ve got the flannelette shirt on to keep my arms warm. 🙄 Misty rain across the valley but it hasn’t reached here yet. I expect it’ll come though.
Still dark here but feels warmer. Off to work soon, feeling a bit better, but still not sleeping well, have to get up to take painkillers. Every day a little bit better though. Fingers crossed I can ski on Friday. I did manage to drive ok, although one awkward junction was a bit of a strain.
Hope you all have a good day.

Morning folks. Glad you're feeling a bit better DD. Nothing going on here. Took the dogs on the beach yesterday,was expecting it to be cold in the wind,it wasn't We sat on the lower prom for a while,until Luna moaned to us to get moving. She had had a really good run and a long game of ball with Dad. Coffee with friend today. Going to put favourite sea front Hotel. When we went there a couple of weeks back,was surprised,they are going round with a clipboard, demanding name and address for tracing details. Thought that had all stopped. Glad to see majority of folk still wearing masks, when shopping yesterday. Almost light outside,windy. Enjoy your day whatever you are up to.
Sounds like you have a lovely day planned @Nanny Beach. I am envious of you (and others) living near the sea, it is my long term goal to retire by the seaside, Arcachon, or just outside in my ideal place, seaside and not far from Bordeaux for shopping and entertainment, we'll see.

Well @Dovefromabove, as it happens, for the first time ever we are staying in a luxury ski hotel, swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa all included. I am booking sessions today.

Good morning Forkers. It is grey again and drismal but a bit warmer than yesterday. So far I have peeled and chopped a few butternut squashes recued from starting to go off. All now in the oven in two trays to roast off for making soup.
Now to sort out info on half square triangles for a patch class for beginners and then some sewing. Keeping the knee rested for dancing tonight.
Try and sneak some fresh ginger and garlic into your meals @D0rdogne_Damsel - natural healers. Same advice for anyone with cold-like lurgies.
Hope everyone is feeling better and brighter. It feels to me like days are getting longer so more to enjoy.

The recovery continues … I feel almost normal 🙃.
@D0rdogne_Damsel maybe there’s somewhere at the ski place where you can get a sports-type massage or two ? Many places have them I think.
