    Morning all.

    I'm sorry you are feeling so low @coccinella. I hope the scan goes well.

    @Ergates I do those online jigsaw puzzles that @Pat E does. Big choice, lots of pieces or not many piece quickies. Good for a rainy day.

    The block paving for our front path is being delivered today. I must move my car. The handyman is going to replace our crumbling front path.

    I have some shopping to do and food prep as friends are coming to lunch tomorrow.

    Morning all, blue sky and a cold wind and rain later. going to have another look at the washing machine to see if we can see whether it's usable! Just waiting for the third thing to break down, first the ride on mower now the washing machine I wonder what's next!
    My daughter and her OH are away on holiday, they flew down to South Africa  and then to Mauritius to board a cruise ship which hasn't been allowed to dock as people on board are being tested for Cholera!! The ship has to be deep cleaned before anyone else can board. She's not happy at all and I wonder if they will continue with that part of their holiday.

    I think I’d avoid that cruise ship @floralies 😱. Even if it’s thoroughly deep cleaned, I think anxiety would spoil the holiday for me. 😞

    She took out extra insurance for the cruise she told me! @Dovefromabove I think she knows about these things being in the travel business!

    Morning all.  OH watched the rugby.  Didn't say much afterwards so I guessed who had won.  

    Have read back as missed a couple of days being immersed in our funding bid application.  Sorry to read about feisty lambs, flooding washing machines, bad colds and general lassitude.  But cheered by pics of proper crisp snow, nice views and tete a tetes.

    I like the tip of just doing an hour in the garden rather than trying to do a whole day.  Think that is the answer for me.

    I have to agree with you @Hostafan1, you wouldn't get me on one!

    Hi all

    Bitter wind today, but some lovely sunshine, so am trying to do a little gardening.
    Had a physio appointment over the phone this morning, not quite sure if that really works, but he was pleased.

    How can you lie there and think of England
