I'm sorry you had a bad night @star gaze lily. I woke up half an hour ago, now having coffee in bed.
My old school friend should arrive this afternoon. She's driving from North Yorkshire. We met over 60 years ago at school in Surrey. She protected me from the bullies. I was the youngest in the class.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning @Rubee sorry you didn't sleep well either. I'm on the sofa having tea and toast. I'll have a slow morning. Might go for walk later if it stays dry. Hope you can have a relaxing day too. Hope LB is ok, late for her....perhaps she's gone to the SM early
Good morning all. Off to work in a bit. Very cold here and frosty. I can’t paint @Ante1 I get it all over myself and everything else but I can help with the planting. Croatia is such a beautiful place a holiday would be great!
Morning @Busy-Lizzie you weren't there just.now. So sorry to read you were bullied at school. Enjoy seeing your friend today, that's a lovely long friendship. Morning @debs64 hope work goes well today.
morning all. Must have been the night of the Werewolves as I didn’t sleep well either last night. Feeling grotty this morning. Wonder if LB is having internet problems again. Hope all is well with Jack and all the cats. I see the birds have had a whale of a time scratching in all my newly turned over soil and flinging it all over the paths😩 Need to see an optician soon. Think the cataracts I have are getting worse as I’m beginning to experience “ missing parts” of things I look at now. It’s very off putting.
Have had to pop to SM to get weekly shop in early- whilst we were out this morning we got a warning message on display unit in car. Booked in at garage for tomorrow morning.
I have also started sorting out some files we have and shredding mounds of paperwork. What a tedious job.
Afternoon all. Made it home from Germany without any problems and we enjoyed our flying visit. Only downside was the plane was full in both directions and Berlin underground was packed because of the train strikes. Felt like I spent altogether far too long in very close proximity to lots of strangers. Sincerely hope they haven't passed on any bugs - lots of sniffling, snortling and coughing going on. Wish I'd taken a mask😷
OH's karting mate and his plus one are coming for supper tonight. OH is cooking the main but I need to go and prep the starter. Prawn cocktail - how retro is that? A friend gave me a box of After Eights a few weeks ago. Might get those out to have with coffee to add to the 70's vibe! The mate has just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and has to lose about 40kg so we're trying to do a healthy but tasty meal. No pre-dinner nibbles and no pudding or cheese. I'll also put the cocktail sauce in a separate dish for people to take as much or as little as they like. Prawns with salad bits is about as healthy as it gets in my books!
Hope LB is ok. Not like her to not put in appearance. Fingers crossed it's 'just' internet problems.
Hazel - hope it's nothing too serious with the car. Mine will be going for service and MOT in a couple of weeks and OH's is going next week - £££££££
Biglad - you do enjoy cutting it fine don't you? Tax return NOW
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Afternoon everyone. Had hoped @Ladybird4 had posted by now. Hopefully it's just Internet problems or she's busy with friends. @Songbird-2 hope car is ok and just a minor problem. Shredding stuff gets boring doesn't it, I need to do some soon before it builds up. @Topbird glad you had a lovely holiday. Naughty girl for forgetting masks. Hopefully you don't catch anything and both you and OH stay well. Have a lovely evening with your friends. Very retro having prawn cocktail, are you having steak for mains 😉😋 @Biglad do hope you've finished return now. See Miss Whiplash has appeared again 🤪

Morning @debs64 hope work goes well today.
Done a couple of hours work and submitted my weekly bumf for checking, so I can take a breath, get the milk in and take/submit the meter readings.
Then back to the grindstone
Murky and dry outside so far.

Biglad, time to do that tax return🙂
