    I have kept a few books belonging to the children, some with her illustrations. Sweet memories reading to them in bed. 
    Dull day here in Lux. But it should stay dry.

    Morning all. No gardening for me today. Lunch in town with a friend, a little shopping, and giving another friend a hand with a project in his garden. Not mucky so can stay reasonably clean all day for a change.

    Hi all

    Foul weather here today.
    I am home alone for a few days, Moira has gone to Scotland to sort out her Mums house, and I am "surplus to requirements".

    Don't you believe it @punkdoc ... there's plenty for you to do here ... as well as all the plant IDs that pop up at this time of year, I'm leaving you in charge of this place while I go to tennis ... if you could sort out my CD collection while you're doing it I'd be very grateful ... it's a job that keeps sliding to the bottom of the list .... 5 shelves of the bookcase in alphabetical order by artist/band please, except where it's obvious that I'll be searching under the name of the composer ......... you see how difficult it is?  No wonder it keeps sliding to the bottom of the To Do list .......... how do other folk sort their CDs I wonder?

    Woke to the news of Shirley Hughes.  We loved her books here.  Fond memories of Alfie and (especially) Dogger.  Plus her illustrations to my naughty little sister- which were favourites when I was a little girl.  Still think of them every time I make up a Christmas Pudding on Bonfire Night.

    My son used to ask for 'My Naughty Little Sister' ...... I suppose @WonkyWomble's too young to remember that 😂

    @Dovefromabove I am the last person you want organising your CD's, I keep mine in a  completely random fashion. Theoretically it is so I can stumble across something unexpected, when I am searching, but in reality it is pure laziness.

    Mine are packed away in the cellar, use the iphone now in the car and on a docking station in the house.  I have access to apple music via my daughter's membership so I just ask Siri for any track I want which isn't in my own music library it's great.  The CD's and the music centre used to take up so much room and collect a lot of dust.

    Oh dear … https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/mar/02/shirley-hughes-childrens-author-and-illustrator-dies-aged-94 … bless her. She created a lot of smiles. 
    My girls loved her books and she once visited their primary school. She was lovely.
