@Nanny Beach Please keep us posted on OH's condition. Warm wishes to you both.
Misty dark morning until now. I am watching the sparrows pecking at the black olives that are constantly falling. Crane formations are flying daily southwards now.
Many green weeds have sprung up with this warm weather - promised to continue until Monday. I would like to get out my sprayer and blast them. Many are small and spread like a carpet - difficult to pull up. Well, impossible really.
No dog walking until the hunters are having their copious lunch. Bing! bang! this morning - too dangerous to venture out!!
Hope your Saturday goes according to plan everyone! Tui
Morning,Saturdays not going to plan,was taking my old astra to my son. Thank you for your good wishes. I rang the hospital at 8, receptionist said,"oh,he's in majors".... You could probably hear my heart rate at that point! He wasn't. ED said they'd taken bloods etc,he was waiting to see the DR, they are ridiculously busy,to ring again at 9...no more news.
Hugs to @Nanny Beach, I hope OH makes a good recovery, what a worry for you.
I haven't been in England for Halloween for a long time. Do children always and everywhere knock on the door for sweets? Should I buy some? I don't really like Halloween, seems an American idea. No one did it where we lived when we moved to France in 1985.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Fingers crossed for NannyB - the waiting is the worst.
Taking Mr C for his Covid jab today (he was advised not to have it in the week before his surgery, which was when I had mine) - which means getting him into and out of a car. Fun fun fun.
Participated in an online stitching session last night - inspired me to try and stitch some pumpkins later 🎃. Need to raid my thread stash to find just the right shade of orange.
Autumn colours really revving up out there now - lovely 🥰. And my amaryllis bulbs are showing the tiniest hint of green leaf. Happy Saturday 👍🏻
@Busy-Lizzie Halloween kids. It is not a great thing on the continent generally I am glad to say. If you don't see a lot of fuss in the shops then you probably won't get a knock on the door. Here in Luxembourg kids might come if there is a pumpkin by the door, especially if it is lit. But I haven't had a call for years. Best buy chocs you like, so if they don't come you can eat them yourself.

Dreich day here, and still almost dark.
Still sore @Dovefromabove, which surprises me a bit.
