Sounds an excellent plan @Busy-Lizzie. This morning I went to the pool (I do water exercises rather than swimming because of my back) and I think I pulled a muscle. Trying to repair one thing while breaking another that's me 😏. But it isn't too bad and it is not where I usually suffer pain so hey ho!, these things happen. It might also have something to do with filling 15 containers of 5 litres each with rain water collected around the garden and hide them behind the edge. I am not supposed to lift you see ... never mind.
Lovely skies @Pat E. Here is a little brighter too: emphasis on the "little" 😀
Candlemas today, chocs and sweets ready by the door for the kiddies who come "liichten"
The cold snap seems to have moved away and the temperature is 13°C sunny and still windy.
@Pat E the first photo looks like a baby elephant tearing across the sky and the last one like the animal from The Never Ending Story".
@Busy-Lizzie enjoy your lunch. Nothing like a meal out!!
I spent the morning doing a bit of HW and have made a spicy lentil stew whilst I was talking to my friend in Melbourne, who is getting over her operation for colon cancer. She has more tests to do as something has been spotted in/on her lungs. Could be just pollution damage (10 years living and working in London) resulting in lots of bronchitis. Oh dear!
I have had two platefuls of the lentil stew with a green salad for lunch. It is most delicious!!!!
I know I should get out into my vegetable garden as I can hear my neighbour rotary hoeing his. I just can't get motivated in spite of the sunny day!!
Keeping everything crossed they stick to that date @Busy-Lizzie!
Will pop back later - just off for the first in the new season of Thursday lunchtime concerts in our lovely old redundant church. The acoustics are amazing!
Hello all, just catching up with what you have been up to. Good news @Busy-Lizzie for OH's op i do hope it happens this time. I'm also on blood thinners at the moment @Pat E after my operation also the compression stockings which are so annoying! Physio came this morning to do massage on my leg plus exercises to be done regularly! Lovely sunny day but very cold. Hope you are all well, take care 😎
We did enjoy our lunch out. I had salmon with tarragon sauce and OH had chicken tagliatelli with leek and pea shoot sauce. It was nicely presented and the helpings weren't too big so we could have dessert, millefeuilles of mango and pineapple for me and pears in red wine sauce for him. We took a country route back, little lanes, pretty villages, thatched cottages. https://www.the-auberge.com/ Nice owners, they took it over last autumn.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Glad you enjoyed it @Busy-Lizzie 😊 … I remember it from the old days when it was simply Yaxley Bull .., nowadays it always looks a bit unprepossessing as I scoot past up and down the A140 to visit Wonky.
Hope the new folk can make a go of it … times is tough in the food business.

When we were feeling grumpy the other day, day before the call from the hospital, I rang a restaurant to book lunch for today. Thought I'd treat him.
It's sunny, looks good for gardening but we are out for lunch and I've run out of compost.
never mind.

Looks like quite a choice there @Allotment Boy. 😁
Sorry you’re feeling breathless again today. Take it easy.
Had a few chores to do today, plus my Pilates class which I always enjoy. Set for a quiet evening though.
