Love the builders style compliment @punkdoc! I'll take what I can get at this stage!!! 🥰😁 Hope your hobbling with style, around these parts a walk like that would make you really quite Gangster! 🤣 Which apparently is cool? 🤣 What do I know!
Thank you @Red Maple 😊 we asked about cravings and were told to nail down everything in sight as it's likely to be edible under the circumstances!!! 🤣 The cats are hiding under the bed!
I was up at 6.15am, took OH to the airport then went to Son 2's house near Bergerac in time for breakfast. We went out to a restaurant, very nice, sat on the terrace under vines, for lunch with the 5 children. 2 yr. old Charles was a bit noisy but they were pretty well behaved.
Then Son 2 took the older boys, 6, 8 and 9, to the river Vézère, to go canoeing. DIL and I took the younger two to a sort of adventure park. A lot of it was too much for them but they really enjoyed the bouncy castle. Charles screamed when he was dragged off it! Son 2 and the 3 boys had a great time and swam in the Dordogne river. It was at a pretty village called Limeuil where the Vézère meets the Dordogne. Then back to Son 2's house. It was 30°, I badly needed a cold drink!
I'm back home now. Rang OH, he arrived safely and has sent photos of the garden.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Crumbs, so much news. We're just back from a Chopin concert, part of the main festival the first time we've been to a non Fringe event. We have seen plenty of different things lots of other music too. So much on, it's hard to fit in some things. We don't try to cram as much in as some appart from the cost, I think if you do too many in one day it all merges into one. Tomorrow we are meeting up with friends who live in Dundee now, they are coming in for the day. Last day Saturday, home on Sunday. See you soon.
Good to see so much activity but it makes me tired just reading it @Busy-Lizzie@Allotment Boy Happy holiday in Scotland.
Congratulations @WonkyWomble, I bet Dove is gathering knitting patterns as I type.
It's a sunny day, waiting for the grass to dry to cut. I am going to use my birthday present for the first time: a pair of scissors with long handles to cut around the grass borders so that I don't have to go down on my knees. I have also taken the plunge and engaged a cleaner to come to do the kitchen cupboards. She is coming on Monday, I never had one before: the mad bat here is already thinking about a little "tidying up" before she arrives. OH said he is going to confiscate all mops until Monday 🤣🤣
Market day today, so that calls for a coffee in the promenade to watch the people going by. This should be the final week for tourists as school starts 4th September, then the camping van crew of retirees arrive in September/October.
If your name is Helen - then today is your day. A la Sainte Hélène, la noix est pleine et le cerneau se met dans l'eau.

Beautiful morning here. Blue sky. Some strata and a light breeze.
Felicitations @WonkyWomble and Mr. Womble and to you @Hostafan1 on N° 4. How lovely.
Market day today, so that calls for a coffee in the promenade to watch the people going by. This should be the final week for tourists as school starts 4th September, then the camping van crew of retirees arrive in September/October.
