    😂 you should see the state of this place … the contents of the kitchen cupboards are in the studio and we don’t have a floor in the cloakroom … we’re coming to see you … not whether you’ve dusted or weeded 🤗 
    your bedroom and bathroom are spotless, just don't look anywhere else.

    @Hostafan1 … as you know … my specs spend most of their time on top of my head … without them dust doesn’t exist … and you’ll be pleased to hear that OH now needs specs too 🤓

    Hello again Dove. That green cut glass bowl was one of Mum’s and the vase was a farewell gift to me when I retired from Monash Uni. Lovely memories. 😁. 

    I was very surprised to find the spring flowers since it’s been so cold with the local snowfalls. Just shows that the time is set rather than dependent on weather conditions.  🙄

    Hi all

    Back from Scotland.
    Might not be around much, Moira is having surgery on Tuesday.
    Be good.

    Glad you're back @punkdoc - best wishes to Moira and hope we'll see you about again very soon after.

    Not having much fun this weekend. I've got quite a lot of work to catch up having lost a day running about to the vets. Sadly our lovely greyhound girl had to be put to sleep on Saturday morning. She was a honey and we miss her a lot. 

    Hope you're all having a better bank holiday than we are.

    Back to work  :/

    Good to see you @punkdoc … hope all goes well for Moira … we’ll be thinking of you both. 😊 

    Sorry to hear that @raisingirl … a greyhound-shaped gap takes a lot to fill. 😢

    Raisingirl, my sympathies to you. It’s hard to loose a beloved pet.

    Hello all.

    Thoughts to @raisingirl on losing a beloved family member. 

    Slight hangover today post Hippie Festival. A fantastic afternoon/evening with live music, a hog roast and plenty of laughs. I am sporting a mystery bruise on my leg however. I can only think it was from when I helped wheel the hog in, on a big wheelbarrow/operating trolley contraption. Worth it for the crackling alone. 

    Have a pleasant Sunday folks.

    Just read back as I somehow missed yesterday!  Amusing to see the juxtaposition (more or less) of a potato harvest, olive harvest and daffodils!  As we move towards autumn and winter it's good to know that it is spring somewhere in the world!  It certainly seems to be getting darker sooner now - and a bit chillier of an evening.
    Sorry for your loss @raisingirl.
    Fingers crossed for Moira @punkdoc.
    I am always gratified when I visit other people's houses and see things piled about the place and generally looking lived in.  Exceptionally neat and tidy houses intimidate me somehow.  Probably stemming from an aunt who was always so very judgemental about the way my parents, both working, three kids, lived.

    Sad news @raisingirl - you’ll miss her

    Good luck to Moira - hope all goes well

    We are also on a countdown to a holiday - 3 weeks tomorrow.  But no tidying necessary for @Hostafan1, unless you have a secret hideaway on a Greek island.

    Mr C had a little op last Monday, and is getting better by the day.  We have been doing gentle evening walks along the Basingstoke canal.  Have never seen the oak trees so smothered in acorns ……must be a mast year.

    Got to go make a cake now - family get together tomorrow to celebrate little sisters BIG birthday.
