Pat - never thought for one moment you were feeling sorry for yourself - you strike me as a very positive person
You have an insider's knowledge though, so you understand what those people are going through. Heartbreaking to see older people struggling more than anything.
Off to work in a few mins so I'll catch you all later.
Have a good day - if possible - everyone
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Pat I remember hearing all about Tracy, it was the worst. I used to say God in his wrath made Australia, one minute it is the most beautiful place on earth, the next the worst. Tough cookies you Aussie ladies, respect!
DD glad the singing went well, also glad to hear your guests not requiring fed an entertained!
Star enjoy lunch,
Fairy I saw that couple too, heartbreaking I am sure they will be a priority case? Has anyone seen little Anne's post on another thread, climate change definitely happening
Verdun, you are right, not long till the winter days start to lessen!!!
going to try driving the car today,just a wee jaunt to the SM No one has said I can't drive!
Hope Hosta and knee got safely back
Dove, Ma's dress sounds just the ticket, good choice
stay safe everyone

Pat - you are clearly made of strong stuff to have come out the other side of that experience of losing absolutely everything to a weather event. It must have been very hard to start again from scratch in a new area. Sounds as though you have a lovely home where you are now though.
Fairy - I had caught glimses of Noggin the Nod years ago but had not made the link to the chessmen. They are the most exquisite characterful pieces and puts the programme in a whole new light. Might have to try to watch it on You Tube or something.
More cleaning today....

Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Good luck to all the shoppers .....at least its not a weekend. Hope you all have good lists to keep you going - nothing worse than waiting for inspiration to strike in a crowded Christmas store.
Is this a good moment to mention that I finished all my pressie shopping yesterday?? Probably not
I've done all of mine apart from a B&Q voucher - OH has some socks to buy for a friend.
I was going to get Ma a cardi to go with her frock, but I've just heard from Bro that he and SIL have bought her some cardis and two of them will go with the frock - result!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
OH is stressed this morning as he is doing his Christmas shopping. He only has to buy for me (I've done the rest) and we've already agreed to have a small present to open and have a weekend break in the New Year. I'm doing my Cinders act and cleaning the oven.
Hope inspiration strikes for the shoppers elsewhere.
