You’ve all had an exciting time by the sound of it.
Our weather along the whole eastern side of Australia is very worrying. Lots of flooded areas. (I hasten to say that we are not flooded here - the river is a long way below our house. )
From my side of things, lots of rain means that the washing keeps being put aside until we get a dry day. I’ll be running short of clothes before long.😳
I found this the other night. A lovely young couple in their 20s accidentally buy a wreck of a house and just get stuck in and get it fixed. Not all "young people want everything handed to them on a plate "
One of those days yesterday - not even the inclination to do Wordle.
Started out with the charger of my laptop not working. To no avail would it charge so I checked on internet that my local SM had one in stock and got on my magic bike. No, they didn't have one in stock when I got there! Ah. Back home and into the car to a specialist shop further away. At great expense I bought a new one. Back home. The new one didn't work. Had something to eat and went back to the shop early afternoon. Had I had the laptop and charger checked at the After Sales Service spot? No, but you could have asked me that question this morning. Result: Just a bit of dust and dirt on the outlet. I could have a refund on the purchased charger. Wait!!! Check that the old charger is working first! It wasn't so I kept the new charger. Result: Back home. The old charger just needed a soft brush and it is working. I will keep the new charger anyway - bother!!
@punkdoc The French call it : la rage aux dents - and rage it certainly does! There are 2 aches that I find are intolerable. A toothache and an earache. I do hope you can get to see a dentist tomorrow.
Dull and dreary here mornings and then it fines up and hots up during the afternoon. I am battling white butterfly and snails on my netted brassicas - how the butterfly get in, I will never know - the cabbages are starting to form but the cauliflower and broccoli are still in early stages. My needs are few; but please leave what little there is alone!!!
I am eating the white radishes and looks like the Chinese radish is more or less ready too. Spinach is coming alone nicely as is my one silver beet plant - carrots and turnips to catch up.
Belated Birthday wishes to @chicky (can't remember if I wished them) and to @Nanny Beach. Warm wishes to those with ailments such as leg wounds @Allotment Boy and the dreaded Covid @Ergates Autumn colds and flu abundant here.
Out to lunch in the promenade today. Should be pleasantly pleasant!
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ A dull but strangely beautiful autumn morning here in Norfolk.
Across the rise is a huge pollarded Robinia … when it changes colour in the autumn the leaves at the middle of the ‘mop head’ change colour first, and the colour spreads outwards until eventually the whole tree is suffused with a deep golden glow … at the moment it’s just the leaves at the centre of the tree that have turned, and it’s glowing like golden embers at the heart of a fire 🔥 beautiful

Fingers very crossed for @didyw ‘s foody festival and street market down on the Norfolk/Suffolk border … the weather forecast doesn’t look helpful … I hope it’s wrong 🤞

Morning all, thankfully it's stopped raining and we now have sunshine and a bit of blue sky. Lawns are completely covered with all the leaves from the six large trees nearby but it's far too wet underfoot to do anything about them today.
We're having a leisurely Sunday morning, son got back from his rugby outing after we'd gone to bed last night and is still fast asleep. Bath won so I expect he was very pleased. He doesn't often get the chance of a lie in with peace and quiet at home with two kids and a dog to walk.
OH will have a late night tonight as well as the F1 highlights doesn't finish till 2 am. He may well be relegated to the guest bedroom!
Oh well, got to replenish the bird feeders before the goldfinches all arrive for lunch.
Hope the food market goes well and the weather stays dry @didyw.
Morning all. Thank you for the birthday wishes 🎂. My oldest daughter forgot!!! We took the dogs,my granddaughter to Sovereign Harbour Eastbourne it was 18c folk in shorts and t-shirts. Had a hot chocolate...her and hubby had hot sausage rolls from a diddy coffee stall. Took her home,her mum's partner was absolutely horrified we weren't going out for a meal,' but you've GOT TO,it's your birthday "!!!. We never go out for meals weekends or evenings. I had very much enjoyed my long walk. Came home,tucked up on the sofa with a film(Mr Elba) my knitting and a glass of dry white. Hosta, how do you"accidentally " buy a house. Crowd funding is not doing it all yourself. We lived in a caravan for 5 years, not one of todays"park homes ",a small metal caravan, with no heating. All our houses have been doer uppers or varying amounts, which we have lived in with walls coming down, floor boards up.

Tooth feeling more comfortable today, thanks for the advice, @Ergates
