    Oh dear @AnnaB … hope the knees are less sore after a rest 🤞 were you able to put an ice pack (bag of frozen peas) on them?

    Our sky is blue as far as the eye can see. Not one cloud!



    At least there’s a bit of breeze now and then.

    Good morning all

    @Pat E that's proper Aussie skies! 
    How are you this morning @AnnaB? Hope no further damage, try not to be cross with yourself. I do it all the time so pot and kettles and all that, but I do know it makes stuff worse. 
    I too pulled a muscle on the upper back, still going to aquagym later though. It does me good to socialize a little and the jacuzzi at the end is like eating a bar of chocolate.

    Good wishes to all with aches and pains. Hugs.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    that’s a beautiful blue sky @Pat E  hope it’s not been uncomfortably hot for you today. 7c and overcast here. 

    I hope @AnnaB ‘s not too stiff and sore this morning after her trip and fall. 😣. 

    For those of you in need of something to listen to in the still of the night, this series of five essays on R3 has been a delight this week. Last one tonight; you can hear them all on BBC Sounds

    Morning all.

    I hooe you are too stiff today @AnnaB and I hope you don't feel down for long.

    Thank you for the tips about Norwich @Dovefromabove. I didn't see them until we came home! We parked in the Castle 1 park which was convenient as my friend wanted to go to the market, John Lewis, M&S and shoe shops. She rarely does that sort of shopping as she lives near a small village in the Yorkshire Dales. We had lunch at The Lamb. We had a good day.

    Today we are going to lunch at our favourite pub restaurant in Suffolk, but first friend and I are going for a long walk in the fields behind our cottage.

  • Morning all.
    Thank-you to @Dovefromabove for another excellent introduction to the new month.
    Very sad to hear of the fire you suffered @D0rdogne_Damsel .  At least everyone you and everyone else is OK and that is the most important thing.
    Hopefully someone will be able to do something which will help your hip situation @tui34
    I very much hope that your knees will recover soon @AnnaB  That was a very unfortunate incident which you suffered.
    Yesterday was the first day of the season of Imbolc .  I used the very nice weather on Tuesday to thoroughly inspect my pots of bulbs.  The surprising (and very pleasing) thing is that, with only two exceptions, they are all showing signs of life.  This is a vastly better result than I deserve.
    Best wishes to all who are recovering from injuries and illness.  Stay safe out there folks.

    Phew!  I took OH to work then drive to the farm shop and filled the car boot … then I went to the supermarket and spent a fortune on the sort of things that the farm shop doesn’t sell or charges an arm and a leg for. By the time I’d filled the freezer and the store cupboards the washing I’d hung out earlier was dry enough to get in and put to air by a radiator, so I I’ve done that and waved Vernon the Vax around the floor. Now it’s time for lunch …
