Winter song. You've reminded me of our experience last week when we had visitors. The wife always showered mornings and then came out in a cloud of something perfumy. We (hubby and I) had trouble breathing deeply probably because we have been out of the rat race for several years and the closest we smell is that which wafts up from various farmers coming to town shopping.
The part I can't imagine is how her employers cope as she works in a doctors clinic.
Steve, you didn't get the joke - the perfume is Vetiver ....
I love Issey Myake but it's a bit pricey for a retired person to wear every day, as is my other favourite Ma Griffe - The Vetiver was only £18 for100ml .
Today I have to keep my eyes open for Yodel to deliver my garden recliner - it could come any time between today and Tuesday - if anyone hears a van pull up outside can you give me a shout please
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning all - been a little absent and I come back to read about laydee's under garments
Usually battleship grey ones here once I've put them in the wrong wash....another one of these needed
I'm not commenting on Dick Van Dyke
I'll give you a shout Dove - because after this morning - I'm off for a week - hurrah!!
Yesterday's sun has gone - no surprise - and it's dull here. I see congrats are due to chicklet. Relief all round Fairylet had hers last week and did ok in the couple she was sitting. Felt strange not having a child to take back to school yesterday though
Have to go now - I will catch up later. Behave yourselves
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oh dear Pauline - that doesn't sound good - but I've had lots delivered by them before and I have no complaints other than that they tend not to hang around if you take your time answering the door - if I'm in the back garden I leave a note in the porch addressed to Yodel asking them to come through the side gate and yell - it's always worked so far .......... we'll wait and see ........ no point in being in a hurry today 'cos the imminent arrival of a garden recliner seems to have turned the weather ......

Hurray. It rained here overnight. The garden finally got watered. I wonder if the stockroom is wet or the sandbags did the job. Id better get dressed and go and find out. Have a good day folks.
I think that's true of a lot of delivery companies, Dove. I find it very frustrating. Our house has 3 floors and sod's law says I'm up top when they come. And then I get given 3 seconds to get to the door. I'm too chicken to slide on the banisters....
I ran out frantically barefoot across travel drive once to catch the van only for him to explain he's left it in car port. I then hobbled back
and you always have to go to the loo in a hurry in case the delivery comes.
One of the advantages of living in the sticks down lots of very narrow twisty lanes is that delivery drivers - having made the effort to get there, and not wanting to repeat the journey to make a redelivery - all make a real effort to find someone / somewhere to leave parcels with.
Postie also knows where everybody is happy to have parcels stashed & she signs recorded delivery slips on our behalf (she did ask first!). Can't remember the last time we had to visit the sorting office to collect something.
Some rain here overnight but we need MORE (not a deluge though thanks very much) - very little forecast over next 5 days.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Morning Verdun
Warm and fuggy here - we had some soft rain overnight but the water butts are still more empty than full - no thunderstorms ......... yet.
