Good afternoon, Ive been busy doing unmentionables too, and still on with one that will take some time to complete (involves the freezer compartment of the small fridge and lots and lots of ice, ‘cos I kept forgetting to do it - that’ll learn me 😂). Sorry to hear that the leak is going to be much harder and more troublesome to rectify @rowlandscastle444. How frustrating and annoying for you. Glad you got sorted at the dentist @Songbird-2. It leaves you a bit shell shocked, doesn’t it, when it comes to paying 😲. Very cold here today, but no snow. I was surprised to see no frost on the roofs this morning either, given how cold it is.
I'm finally finished with all chores for today, and now can rest a bit. It's still very uncomfortable outside. I just saw on news about floods in UK, terrible. Hope it will soon pass.
Ante,gosh that sea looks rough. Hope the winds aren’t causing any damage. Have a peaceful evening now that you’ve got all the jobs done. It’s very cold here but no high winds thankfully. Some parts of the UK are entrenched with snow. Floods first, now snow.
Afternoon all. I've been waiting in for a delivery from that big South American river company. I'd had a call from Jack as he wants me to go and sort out his video player - he thinks he may have recorded over his Mamma Mia tape! His daughter is organising his tea at the moment so I will go over later but I did tell him I have to be home for Part 2 of Silent Witness. @rowlandscastle444 did you enjoy yesterday's episode? I thought it was great! Can't wait for tonight.
Ante, that is such a very different picture from the beautiful, serene pictures you posted last year. I still think there is something very majestic about a stormy sea though. Better to be looked at from the comfort and warmth of the house though?

I recorded last night's episode of Silent Witness. It'll be the same tonight, as OH won't want to be disturbed after a long day. I respect that. We'll watch it another day. I can wait.
The tree man rang while we were in Lidl, wanted to come this afternoon. That was a relief, wanted him to come before we go back to Norfolk next week. He has coppiced a hazel tree so that we can control how big it grows when it grows back and he's severely pruned the lime tree next to the kitchen. It was getting too big, touching the roof and the chimney of the wood burning oven. I had expected him to want to pollard it, French fashion, but he said it would be happier with a few slim branches left.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I am signing out for this evening. Been across to Jack's and sorted out his problem. It was nothing serious - he just didn't know quite how to work things and it was a DVD player not a video player as he first told me. He thought he had recorded over his film when in fact he was just watching regular TV.

Good morning all. Cold here but dry. Fiancé still liking new job which is positive.
Not sure if I told you all about my middle son who was living with us during lockdown. He moved out in May to Liverpool and then in august fell madly in love with a Brazilian woman and went to Naples for 6 weeks with her. She works on a cruise ship, Cunard line quite high up in customer service. She is back in England today and he is travelling to London to see her then at some point this month they are going back to Naples then onto Brazil and planning to set up home somewhere abroad. He will work and she will travel and they will spend her time off together. All very romantic I think. Keeping everything crossed that it all goes to plan.

It's still high wind here.
