    Good morning everyone,  bright but breezy here today.  Not sure what I will do.  We need to water pots too, not that much rain here last couple of days so may need to water more generally.

    Hi all, we've had rain and it's very windy out there now.

    @coccinella - ouch, poor you.

    I'm really struggling today. Had blood tests this am which took 3 attempts to get any, I don't give up my blood very easily. Pin pricks and plasters all over my hands. Told to take it easy today. OH is having to be head cook and bottlewasher plus lady's maid.
    Got a massage booked in for tomorrow and a hairdo at the same salon as I can't raise my arms up high enough to wash or brush my hair. My lovely DIL is coming up tomorrow night to do my housework - bless her. She's working all day, then collecting grandkids from their after school clubs then driving 2 hours to get here! I told her we could manage but she's adamant she wants to help. I shall have to organise both a gardener (wish you lived nearer @WonkyWomble!) and a cleaner asap. Can anybody remind me of the neighbourhood community links please?

    On another note, our printer has packed up, the print heads are full? Is this an easy job to do yourself? If we have to get a new one, is it likely to work with our aging desktop which is still Windows 7? Any advice welcome.

    Smashing photos @Hostafan.

    Happy birthdays to those noted above. 

    A sofa bed in his office - wow! They must really appreciate your son @Dovefromabove.

    Afraid poor @WonkyWomble wouldn’t be much help today @Lizzie27 … she’s badly stubbed the little toe on her left foot … it’s badly bruised and she’s hobbling and not really able to work properly.  😢

    ooh, that sounds really painful, my sympathies Dove and Wonky.

    Yup, I do believe it's broken as the bruising has spread half way across the top of my foot and is coming through on the bottom also. I worked this morning but Hubby has to drive me there and I think on reflection it was foolish of me.
    I've said it before, the professional gardeners on here should do a working holiday tour of Forker friends! 👍🤣

    My son in law took this photo at Silverstone yesterday. 
    Anyone recognise the guy in white?

    It was supposed to be Brad Pitt, filming his latest film but they also had his body doubles filming I understand.  He didn't look 59 though!

    Sorry, should have added, suggest you get your toe looked at? @WonkyWomble?
