Afties all. Raining here too, all day so far. Got back to sleep but need to go out in a while to have my hair cut. It's cold and windy out too so need to put my big coat on. Busy, how is your OH doing these days? Improving nicely? LB, what a nightmare for Jack, just as well he has you as his good neighbour.Our son has just been informed his direct debit is doubling from next month😬🤬He's not a happy chappy.
Thanks for asking @Songbird-2. He was a bit tired yesterday as we went to the SM, he then walked up the main street in our local town, then he mowed half the back lawn. Taking it easier today.
Just been to the recycling centre. Bye bye once beautiful Malvern Hills rose , 3 big garden bags full. It rained, then when we arrived at the tip the sun came out, then it rained all the way home. Not a breath of wind though - makes a change.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
That's really good news @Busy-Lizzie. Not so long ago he was using a wheelchair/scooter?( sorry can't quite remember which) so it must be massively better for him now. Still early days so steady away for him but well done for getting this far so successfully.👏👍 Have had my hair cut, feels much better. Town was very quiet as were the shops. Still drizzling on with rain so taking a good rest now.
Evening all. I got Jack's energy stuff sorted for him this morning and received a promise that he would get all his statements and updates via the postal service. I've made a note - just in case - as Jack says he has tried this before and not got anywhere. We'll see. I made him a cup of coffee before I left and as I stepped out of his door the rain started and it has hardly ceased so I decide to knit a daffodil from a freebie pattern I downloaded from t'internet. Just need to stitch it all up.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
FinGers crossed LB that Jacks fuel issues are sorted now with your help. The knitted daff sounds nice. I'm just starting to use up some massive 500gm balls of aran wool that I nabbed from mums. They've been in the house for years and she's not up to doing much knitting now so she said to take the wool. Think I may make a pram/buggy blanket with it. Just have the one ball. They are, apparently, most welcome by charity shop customers.In good demand.

WISDOM FOR THE YEAR for you to enjoy and pass along!. . .
1. The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but keeping your mouth shut in any language is priceless.
2. Be decisive. Right or wrong, make a decision. The road is paved with flat squirrels who couldn’t make a decision.
3. Happiness is not having to set the alarm clock.
4. When I get a headache, I take two aspirin and keep away from children, just like the bottle says.
5. Just once, I want the prompt for username and password to say, “Close enough.”
6. Becoming an adult is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.
7. If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self-employed. We’re having a meeting.
8. “Your call is critical to us. Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo".
9. I hate it when I can’t figure out how to operate the iPad, and my tech support guy is asleep. He’s five, and it’s past his bedtime.
10. Tip for a successful marriage: Don’t ask your wife when dinner will be ready while she’s mowing the lawn.
11. Old age is coming at a really bad time.
12. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just transferring me to someone I can't understand anyway?
13. You don't need anger management. You need people to stop p***ing you off.
14. Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work.
15. "On time" is usually when you get there.
16. Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it sure does muffle the sound.
17. Lately, you've noticed people your age are much older than you.
18. "One for the road" means peeing before you leave.
