Oh Busy, I hope he is ok. You have taken me down memory lane recently watching your horses. I found the hay net last week and I still have the grooming box.

LilyP it's so sweet that your Granddaughter wants to bring you flowers
It's dark and drizzly here today so I bit the bullet and cleaned all the windows inside Just dropped the dog off at the groomers and now it's coffee time again. I could really do with going to B&Q to look for wallpaper for the bedroom as it is way past time for a facelift. OH will only go on a Wednesday too GWRS
Vet has been, Archie is full of antibiotics. Vet coming back on Friday, will see if it needs stitching. Housesitter has sent an email, he was on another housesit.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Found it. The greenhouses are a bit like Kew, only much smaller. The schools here must be back, because there are crocodiles of kids everywhere. The hot tropic house is a bubble dome, like eden project but again smaller. They have got an amazonian water lily which has flowered. They protect it with piranhas in the pool. now thats a change from goldfish.
Then it rained so Iheaded to the art museum. The Monet exhibition I thought was on hasn't started yet, I ended up in a modern art installation. Like being in fog but changing colours. You walk around in a space and the fog changes colour as you walk. Maximum you can see is about a metre. I was glad to get out. I've come back to the hotel (handily next door) for a lie down and an Ibuprofen tablet as my hips hurt
Just back from B & Q , got my cement , plus a cover for my new chimania , a anniversary present from o/h and some violas reduced to £1 , nothing wrong with them just out grew the tray
Fidget, we always get given 2 single quilts on double beds in Finland. Perhaps it's a Scandinavian thing...
The day started well here, and I picked runner beans, blueberries & sweet peas before we went for our morning constitutional (OH has read that he can add 7 years to his life by walking briskly for 25mins per day). Now it's pouring down and our satellite signal has disappeared.
Re runner beans: can anyone recommend a tasty variety? The ones I've grown this year are (finally) producing attractive-looking, stringless beans, but they're relatively tasteless.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Afternoon all, Hope everyone is OK as I haven't had time to read back. Have been having problems with Mum in hospital. Despite telling them that she couldn't walk and could only transfer to a wheelchair they decided to make her walk to the loo where she fell and hurt her side. When I spoke to the sister about it she denied that mum had had a fall and basically said she was lying. I have been camping out there for about three days now trying to see a doctor. They have finally agreed that mum has been injured and have promised to xray her as I think she may have cracked her ribs.
Firstborn spent the night in casualty as her arm has swolled so much she can't bend her elbow. They have no idea whats wrong.
I spent this morning in casualty as my eye has swollen and closed. It's burning and itching, something to do with infected eyelash follicles.
Finally, hubby still hasn't got a date for surgery to reattach his retina.

from all the walking.
I complained about the small quilt. Now we've got one each.

To quote mum, one of us must have shot a robin.
