10°C this morning but we have a high of 25°C this afternoon. The days are quiet and still - beautiful autumn days. We are expecting stormy weather with rain for the weekend.
I picked lots of peppers (some are burny!! ) to stuff for lunch. Tomatoes are only salad ones now - no great quantity this year.
@didyw Did you find a Swiss Ball class near you? I went yesterday morning - feeling it a bit in the old thighs this morning!
Today says: Gelée blanche de Saint Eustache, grossit le raisin qui tache. (red grapes)
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ very best thoughts to your daughters friend @Yviestevie … awful thing to have happened … thank goodness your daughter is able to help her. Strength to both your daughters 🤗
I love singing the descant to ‘Crimond’ WonkyWomble … just glorious. It’s a while since I’ve sung in a choir but I can’t help singing along. 😉
It seems quite chilly here too … I’ll soon have to pick the last of the tomatoes and bring them in to finish ripening.
I’ve got quite a big To Do list as we go on holiday a week tomorrow …. !!!

Morning everyone, we watched most of it yesterday too. I thought it was very well done but could do with not hearing the same 3 funeral marches round and round for a while. I did do a little gentle pruning for a while in mid afternoon during the trip to Windsor. We have a booking for our Covid booster this pm.
Morning all, chilly nights and very warm days at the moment, just hoping the rain might arrive at the weekend. Another batch of ratatouille made while watching the Funeral, have always loved "Crimond" with the descant @Dovefromabove. Catch up with you all later.
OH had an appointment with his surgeon at the small private hospital this afternoon. He has been transferred to the bigger NHS hospital but no one had actually told him whether the appointment was still on. It's the same surgeon. He rang them last week, 6 times, left messages as no one answered. No one rang him. He rang this morning to be told that the appointment had been cancelled. We thought it would be but they hadn't even got the manners to tell him or return his calls.
I'm going back to France on Thursday, back here on 3rd October in time for his appointment at the NHS hospital on the 4th. I had hoped to have a good go at my garden in France but, after 3 months drought the forecast is rain all week.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all, just back from having my pneumonia jab. Tried to book flu and Covid while I was there but can only book if I have them together. I don't want to do this as I have the boys to look after and want to limit the chances of any sort of reaction and have them separately two weeks apart. They have said they will call me but I wont hold my breath. May book the Covid at a centre and then have the flu jab at the local chemist.
I'm pleased ... I've just halved my AA annual payment ... I really don't need HomeStart now I'm not at work ... the local garage will come out if need be ... and when I pointed out that I do a much lower mileage nowadays the price dropped by 50% for the next two years 👍

Well done @Dovefromabove - all savings are good! We succumbed last night and put the heating on (not too high though). Woke up this morning sweltering. OH had forgotten to turn it off before bed. So much for being frugal with it. There is a gym quite near me @tui34, albeit it a short drive away. But I'm not sure I'm in a position to commit myself to regular sessions and the cost of membership. There aren't any individual classes - though loads of yoga classes. I'm afraid I'm the sort of person who easily finds excuses not to go to a class. Oops - just clicked back on this tab after a flurry of emails/agendas/minutes to see I hadn't actually posted this!
