    Morning all.

    Good luck with it all @D0rdogne_Damsel, I hope it all goes through smoothly.

    I will be doing more bedroom painting today. I've gained weight since I painted the other 3 walls and ceiling last year, painting jeans button won't do up.

    Foggy and colder this morning.

  • That all seems very positive @D0rdogne_Damsel … good luck with it all. 🤞 
    Oh dear @Busy-Lizzie … but it doesn’t show … maybe a stretchy belt? 😉

    Dinner finished, Pixel asleep in her bed, and Hubby (as usual) watching Great British Menu. I’m SO sick and tired of it, (at last Niall is out now) but I can’t complain since I want my usual dose of Eat Well for Less. 😳

    Hi all

    rain has stopped, temporarily, but everything is so soggy. Was hoping to clear up some more leaves, but not sure that will be possible.

  • Too soggy here to do anything in the garden @punkdoc , even if I had the inclination ... and at the moment the foliage all looks so gorgeous I don't want to go out there and start interfering with it ... I'll just stand at the sink and look at it  B)

    I'm just looking out of the window while I drink my coffee at a blackbird gorging himself on the Pyracantha berries, he has a whole bush to himself at the moment! Too showery and chilly outside today. The Cornus "baton rouge" stems are also beginning to look quite spectacular in the rain now that the leaves are nearly off.
    Have a good day all.

    We bought my Dad a Cornus Baton Rouge @floralies - because we used to live there (I was 3 😂).  Gorgeous plant 😍.

    Wall to walk blue skies here - beautiful day.  I am on a training course all morning, but am enjoying it out of the window 🪟

    Congratulations @D0rdogne_Damsel on both the house and the little restaurant rental.  I'm sure both will go through just fine.  Be careful with any agreement you sign with the restaurant owner though to make sure he carries out any repairs in good order and in good time.  The landlord of my little shop did neither.  But it didn't affect the business, just me with no hot water and a boarded up window at the back.

    Last night's AGM went well.  Lots of members turned out and we were all voted back in.  All very good humoured.  Followed by a slide show of our town as seen at various coronations/proclamations.  By the time we got to Elizabeth 11 people were beginning to recognise themselves/friends/town dignitories in the photographs.  I sold quite a few raffle tickets too!

    Hopefully will sell a lot more today at the Christmas Lights Switch-On.  Better get ready...

    We have six of them in a graveled area in the garden @chicky, good doers all year round.

    Sunny but cold here, probably stuck indoors helping OH move the wall mounted tv to a more convenient spot. If I do venture out, I’ll check and clear the gutters. Most of the house is one storey, so I can reach them on the stepladder. When we had the old plastic gutters replaced with galvanised steel ones, we specified larger diameter down pipes and guttering. It’s really paid off, especially as we are surrounded by deciduous trees. Most stuff gets washed down easily, and when I clear the entrance to the soakaway, I often find very nice leaf mould for the garden!
