Thanks all for good wishes to Shadow, he is fine, op went well, although he is sulking a bit and having a losing battle with his collar, bless.
Had a late booking this afternoon, so dashed round getting ready and then dashed off to bakers for croissants, pain au raisin & pain au chocolate and then made a fresh fruit salad for breakfast only to get a call about an hour ago to say their car had broken down and they were staying at motorway services hotel. Now what am I going to do with all those pastries.
Night all.

Lyn was here not that long ago, pops in and out. Hope her parents are OK. Hollie Hock was moving house again. Orchid Lady is probably busy with their new business.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Ooh Lizzie, you are far too sensible, but certainly right thing to do. Btw, think I have your cold, obviously not having a sea between us makes al the difference.
Right, really off to bed now, been stroking Shadow to sleep, he is not happy bless him, but can't get him used to too much fussing. My guilty conscience, that's what it is.

Good morning AWB and those to follow. Enjoy your breakfast and hope the weather is fine for your day in the garden.
Inspired by John and chicky I'm going to sow my sweet peas in toilet roll tubes today but only in a cut-down strong cardboard beer box lined with a bin bag. Just the right size for the windowsill.
Liri I hope you enjoyed afternoon tea yesterday - sounds very civilised
KEF - expect you're busy clearing all surfaces so there's room for all the cards the postman's bringing later
Lizzie the Wedding Day rose is magnificent. DD I hope Shadow cheers up today, poor thing.
Dd, leftover pastries make a wonderful bread and butter-type pudding if you add some stale brioche - Verdun would love it I'm sure
Hope Shadow is feeling ok - I remember our dogs taking two or three days to get over it then all was forgotten once the stitches came out.
Lots to do today - must go into the city to get some wax polish for the parquet as Waitrose haven't got any in stock - I'll pick up some food from the market at the same time.
Just need another coffee before I start the day properly - anyone else want one?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Spent much of yesterday asleep, hope today is better
Matty, hope you feel better today too
BL, that rose is stunning, i agree with them being impossible to prune when they are in leaf
GG that muck looks good, you are lucky
My OH has promised to get me some muck today....hmmmm we will see, always seems to "forget" to drive past the paddock, i wouldnt mind but its all bagged up and ready!
RB, hope your water is back on, the way this rain is coming down, you would think there was a burst pipe in the sky!
Really dont like bread and butter pud....bet that shocked ya! Could someone make a lovely sherry trifle with raspberries and LOTS of sherry , an old boyfriends mum used to make one that was excellent....nothing to do with why i was with him ...honest!

Put them in the freezer DD. Then get them out and reheat for next guests. Eat the fruit salad

Awwww Shadow, hope you feel better tomorrow.

Good morning
Thanks for the offer of a coffee Dove but I'm already drinking my tea.
6C here wet and dull. I'm out for the afternoon catching up with a couple of friends and then a quiet evening at home.
Lesley I didn't need to clean many surfaces
but I do have one card and some Maltesers 
Hope everyone enjoys their day
Cuppa tea would be nice Dove
Hope Shadow is happier today DD
