Another suspiciously beautiful morning. Although you can see your breath, there was no frost. More bits of blue sky than there are of cloud. If only every February day could be so wonderful :-) Rain forecast for every day next week, so I'll try to get out for a walk this morning.
I was born, as far as I know, in the year of the water rat (I'll leave it to others to judge the appropriateness of that to me). A very Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate it anyway.
You and your loved ones have all been having a terrible time for a prolonged period @Dovefromabove . I can only hope that the next 12 months will be especially good to you all by way of compensation. Your resilience is extraordinary.
Something I really should have said earlier - thank-you to @Lizzie27 for your kind words about my irises.
As always - best wishes to everyone.

It is remarkable how quickly Rob has got on his feet after that terrible accident @Dovefromabove. You put on a brave face but you must still be recovering yourself from that terrible anxiety. I'm glad this forum, and punkdoc in particular helped.
I think you meant Ergates hellebores @Lizzie27. I hope they prove to be good ones too. Mine are pathetic. I had a really splendid one that I brought from my old house years ago but it was dug up by my over enthusiastic SIL when he was helping me tidy that part of the garden. Oh well, he said, there are bound to be casualties. I'm still in mourning.
I'm not even looking at the garden at the moment - so many jobs in every part. I might not even sow any seeds this year. Maybe just some tomatoes and sweet peas.
I’ve been considerably cheered by some good news this morning … not for me to talk about publicly, but it’s put a real smile on my face. Let’s hope it’s the start of better things to come 🤞 😃

It’d dry and mild here…for now…
Raising my cuppa to @Dovefromabove, her amazing son, and superb family! Great team work this last year folks!
I was pleased with my haircut yesterday and OH likes it too.
We had a good evening with our friends last night.
Quiet day today. I am putting up the hems of my new jeans. As usual, they had sold out of petite jeans in my size.
Today's view from the office window.
Simply gorgeous view 😎
