Afternoon folks, I've got bright sunshine in my eyes at the moment but it seems a shame to pull the curtains across. Enjoyed our usual walk this morning but found it chillier than of late. The stream was very high and in full flow, following torrential rain last night - I got soaked coming out of our Garden Club meeting, the first one I've been to for months. Can't say I really enjoyed it either, the speaker may have been a good professional gardener but needed to polish up her public speaking, too many umms and arghs, very irritating.
I don't like using too many cleaning sprays either, my daughter insists I damp dust because of her asthma.
Hopefully the journey won't be too bad @Ergates, you may find that it gets easier if you do it more often, although having said that I haven't driven down to my daughter's house the other side of Exeter for well over a year now so I don't practice what I preach.
Glad you enjoyed the entertainment @didyw, sounds a very interesting evening.
I've also got dry eyes @Badly_Maintained, but thankfully haven't experienced the same symptoms as you, hope yours abate very soon.
I've just had a telephone review with my GP relating to the steroid regime I'm on. He has advised I reduce the dosage by just 1 mg every month until I'm down to 5 mg daily so that will take another 5 months - gosh! Apparently it will slowly reduce the risk of the side effects.
Right, I'd better get on with cupboard clearing. Turfed out loads of mugs, a coffee grinder and an old kettle this morning.
I use microfibre cloths for dusting, sometimes dampened, and wax polish for wood. Occasionally I use a spray but it doesn't upset my eyes. I have the opposite problem, my eyes water too much, especially in the cold. I hope your eyes are better soon @Badly_Maintained.
A friend is meeting us from the station. We'll have to go to the SM if we want a hot drink, no milk.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hope you're getting there @Busy-Lizzie and your friend is waiting.
Just read that a lot of the Underground trains will not be running over the weekend because of engineering works so anybody thinking of travelling in and around London might want to check first. With the protests etc, recipe for chaos methinks.
Evening all. Allegedly , the heating guys are starting in the morning and working all weekend so they're finished before I head to Hurghada. Fingers crossed. I've certainly noticed an improvement since the new loft insulation went down.
Son has to go to London in the morning to collect a vehicle and sort out a piece of sound equipment a band’s sound engineer seems not to have got the hang of. Thankfully his boss will drive him there (near Kew) and son will drive the bus back. Not really the weekend to be doing that journey. Hey ho 😊

Morning Forkers. Very warm on the veranda this morning, so I’ve opened windows and doors to get a bit of air flow through the house. Hubby has loaded the washing machine while I was still asleep, but I’m reluctant to take it out to the line because I lose my balance when I start moving my head up and down 😳. I’d rather have him nearby. Very annoying.
Good morning all. 😊 ☕️ Trying to unscramble my brain with a bit of Radio 3 after a night of driving around Aylsham trying to find the hospital (it doesn’t have one any more) cos I was late for an appointment … I hate that sort of dream. Even worse is when you go into a shop and ask the way then can’t find where you left the car … and you can’t phone the hospital cos you’ve left the number in the car … then you try to make a cup of tea and the tea leaves swell up in the teapot and turn into huge tadpoles ….
One of those dreams 😵💫 I need my second coffee ….

Have a good weekend everyone.

Quiet, mild and overcast today. There's a bit of blue sky so maybe the sun will make an appearance later on in the day.
Some weeding and pruning this morning - not too much - a little at a time now.
Martin is having his day today:
A la Saint Martin, l'hiver est en chemin
Manchons aux bras et gants aux mains!
I hope everyone has a pleasant weekend.
