Result @Hostafan1! La Boheme gets me every time too. Madame Butterfly has me in bits and more recently, a live broadcast from Covent Garden at our local theatre of La Traviata also saw me sobbing into my hanky. Enjoy your time in your own garden @chicky!
Is it just my laptop or has the forum screen changed - it doesn't look the same as earlier?
Great news Hosta, I had the same result with my old Fiesta, didn't want it to go to the breakers heaven.
'Blow the wind southerly' - good heavens, that does take me back in time!
Just had a very naughty bacon sarnie for lunch, really delicious with still warm French style batons from the local bakery this morning. Not something we eat very often but had the bacon in the freezer for over a month and I think bacon doesn't keep that well? Not sure about that. Good excuse anyway.
It's been drizzling most of the morning, just drying up now. I might potter round the garden in a minute.
Out into the garden this morning and did enough weeding to finish filling the green bins for Wednesday. Also emptied a couple of drains under the guttering down pipes. Hadn’t touched one of them for ages, and it was full of beautifully rotted leaf compost. That’ll be very useful. Got in before the rain started. Assisted OH with putting the living room lights back up, which involved me having to go up into the loft. Lots of scary shadows and spiders, low beams so I have to creep around bent over, and even worse with the power off and just a torch. Thankfully all done and neat and tidy again. Back is now complaining though.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ hope you’ve got your feet up in front of the fire too @Pat E 😊 ☕️ 🐈⬛ it’s a still morning and looks dry out there although the app says it’s raining … in fact it says it’s going to rain a lot of the day … thing I’ll be spending some time in the studio …
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
OH has just had a call from his GP surgery. They are transferring him from the private hospital to the NHS hospital as the private one doesn't have an intensive care unit. It's the same surgeon. Now we have to wait for a call from the secretary to find out what's going on. Dread him being put back on the end of an NHS waiting list.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Cold and miserable here, so feeling grumpy.

Edit - Oh, you've posted on it!
