Morning all, I deliberately left the good as it's throwing it down here too. According to the forecasts it wasn't supposed to rain till after lunch. Not sure what I'll be doing today now.
My phone tells me the rain arrived here seven minutes ago @Allotment Boy ... we're still waiting ... but I don't think it'll be long ... I've just put a load of washing in the machine 🙄
OH is off to work shortly ... not a lot on my To Do List, although sorting out a pre-C'mas Sainsbugs order might be considered ... I won't need fresh things from there, we'll get the from the farm shop, so it's only dry goods and stuff for the freezer. Mind you, if we don't make inroads into the runner beans there won't be any room in the freezer ... 💡 that's it, Toad in the Hole, onion gravy and runner beans for supper tonight.

Today we have a lighter shade of gray. It is 10 degrees out there, not the norm for Lux. I have got some chard and some cavolo nero from the garden so it is minestrone today.
I sympathise @chicky with you for your back pain. I had successful physio back in June, I should go again but just can't face to go to the doctors for a prescription. I find that sitting for a long time with cross stich is not a good idea, but I have to do something otherwise I go mad. Raising my feet on a step helps though.
Looks like you chose the right day to visit Cromer @Dovefromabove. Rain due any minute here now.
That cafe sounds awful @D0rdogne_Damsel. Some business owners are just rubbish! The little craft shop I ran a few years ago is owned by a local electrician and his sons. They never fixed the problems I had in shop (so no hot water, the broken window caused by his grandson kicking a football never repaired) and since I left it has been empty because, I was told, he was going to do it up. There are some bits of wood in the shop... I rang to see if I could retrieve a bookshelf I had in there (I put in all the shelving) as a couple of doors down someone I know is doing a Christmas pop-up shop and has asked me if I will put some of my jewellery in there). Left a message, but no response. I still have keys...
Lovely poppies @Pat E. Of course they are never in bloom here for Remembrance Sunday.
The rain's gone over here - we walked the dog at 7.30 and it was just tailing off then and had stopped by the time we got back an hour later. It's not too bad out there but very wet underfoot - think we had a lot of rain overnight

Glad you back is a bit easier @chicky

I'm glad your back is a bit better today @chicky.
Gloomy outside. Think I may finish painting my bedroom.
