@Busy-Lizzie - son? daughter? You can use Google on any PC to get to the place you need to book tickets. Does your Leclerc have a tech rescue counter for mending phones, PCs etc? Maybe worth taking yours in for a looksee.
@Pat E cats sleep most of the day anyway but great that she's getting some exercise and fresh air.
Enjoy the cooking and feasting @Dovefromabove. Do you know any good Ukrainian recipes other than chicken Kiev and stuffed cabbage?
Wet and soggy here this morning but set to clear up in an hour or so.  That's fine for my activities today but OH is out there playing golf.  I shall get some more jobs done but first another cuppa.
Good morning from a soggy wet town. Â We have had immensely heavy rain since yesterday and the only road open is the autoroute. Â Everything else is closed due to flooding. Â Strong winds aren't helping. Â The fence that leads to my veggie garden is down - nothing that an't be fixed. Â The siren went off 3 times last night, to warn people in the lower parts, they may need to evacuate. Â Even with drainage work over the last 20 years, this region still cannot handle this sort of downpour.
Inside games today.  @Busy-Lizzie  Glad you are home.  Nuisance about the laptop.  I hope it fixes itself with a turn off and on as @Dovefromabove suggests. @Pat E  Nice to have the company of Pixel for a while.  @Obelixx  I'm sure you will find some good recipes on the BBC Goodfood site.
Nope @tui34. Just one. A salad with beetroot and mushrooms served on bread. I ca do beetroot but Possum won't go near a mushroom. Good excuse to sow more beetroot tho.
Hope the flooding doesn't get any worse and that you can get your fence fixed soon.
Morning folks. Tomorrow is Mr beaches birthday. Youngest daughter and co were coming for lunch. Had one of my "female intuition vibes" Friday,so didn't cook what I was intending to. Said to hubby I was going to wait till today. Well,she rang,4 0 clock yesterday,her bloke was sweeping the patio,I think her broom had a plastic handle,it snapped, ripped through his thumb. She's her workplace first aider,very calm. He passed out,he's foot taller than her,she's tiny size 2. So elected to call an ambulance. They arrived in 20 minutes,packed him off, local hospital very busy,so off to my 'old' one. Was seen very quickly,they were worried about tendon/nerve damage. We're debating packing him off to nearby specialist plastics centre. After tests, decided not necessary,7 sutures and home by 7, can't be bad. My daughter said it was my fault, with my premonitions. I felt something not right yesterday,hubby said let's take the dogs out. I didn't want to.. The only thing I had done,was thaw sausage meat for the sausage rolls,but I can make and freeze them.
Morning all. Just back from The Home. Hubby's birthday today. He was oblivious to it all , bless'im. One of the lovely residents died yesterday. Not a good way to start my day. Hugs to everyone who needs one.
Hugs to @Hostafan1 and his lovely hubby... a bittersweet day ((hugs))
@Obelixx ... a dish I've eaten and enjoyed was Pierogi, ... little dumplings (a bit like ravioli) stuffed with mashed potato and cream cheese, cooked in boiling water or stock, and then fried with fatty bacon like Speck, and served with Smetana/soured cream and chopped parsley. Variations seem to be ubiquitous across Russia and this was cooked for me by my Russian DIL (originally from Tatarstan) ... but it seems to be pretty popular in Ukraine. Â
Oh, and Kyiv is the Ukrainian spelling ... Kiev is Russian ... chicken breasts with garlic butter in breadcrumbs are all being re-branded with the Ukrainian spelling here in the UK ... from the big supermarkets to the tiny farm butcher that I go to. Â
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Cold and grey, but we are both outside doing little bits, need it after a day in front of the TV. Anyone else struggling with the new series of Killing Eve?
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
More hugs to @Hostafan1 What a worry, @Nanny Beach , hope OH still manages to have an enjoyable birthday. Took a walk round the lanes between showers. Garden looks tempting when the sun pops out, but I must finish sewing some curtains. I’ve had the machine set up on the dining table for a week now, and it’s starting to annoy me.
Thanks @Dovefromabove. I knew about the dumplings but I'll leave those to any guests to make I think. maybe they can teach me.  I did wonder about the name change and just thought it was more PCness. Â
Have just finished all the DIY downstairs and furniture moving upstairs and mosaic grouting for the day and the heavens opened. Gardening on hold then.  I shall look for new ideas for the next mosaic instead. Not doing anymore Jean de la Fontaine (plagiarised Aesop's fables).
@punkdoc - I gave up after the first episode of the last series.
