It's beyond me, Fairy. No brain between their ears, maybe.
so sorry to hear about all the rain damage. I wouldn't mind having some of your rain. We drove around our back area yesterday and all the dams are at least down to half capacity. It doesn't look good for summer, with it being so dry everywhere
Glad you're ok Fg - been thinking of you ((hugs)).
Hoping Bushman, Little ann and the others in the path of the storm are ok.
The best laid plans of mice and men gang oft agley ......... isn't that what Robbie Burns said? I'd just settled down to do load of parental paperwork when the new GW mag popped through the letterbox
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Just heard something tapping on the window ... a fat bumblebee caught in a spider's web being blown against the glass - I popped out and freed it and it fell to the ground, gathered its thoughts together and flew off happily into the sunshine ....... it's mid-winter!!!

doc - Ballater is so beautiful, but at this time of year, if it's not snowbound....
Glad you're feeling a bit more like yourself. Hope you have a good holiday and come back refreshed and renewed
Thanks Dove - it was a very wild, noisy wind last night and then the rain came.
I just heard Jeremy say that some cars in flooded streets have had parking tickets on them....I can't say here what I really want to say ... so I'll just put **#@!!!!***
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm very sceptical about Jeremy Vine and the things he gets all self-righteous and hot under the collar about - we need to know the dates on those parking tickets - they could have been there before the floods, couldn't they?
JV just likes winding people up, pressing their buttons and making people anxious.
When I'm in charge he and the other Jeremy (yes Kyle, I mean you) will have to get proper jobs and stop exploiting the anxious, the unfortunate and the inadequate.

Wind easing here but it has broken my weather station
Been to SM for mum, shocking news no individual trifles only large family ones hope the two chocolate cream eclairs and cheese cake last her Not that she hasn't ice cream, Christmas cake & mince pies to scoff along with a tub of Celebrations, 3 boxes of chocolates & some mints Life isn't fair she's 7 stone
Bit harsh Dove I think he put the question out there for verification - not sure if anyone responded though to confirm or otherwise. Nothing would surprise me though. I'm very fond of him - brilliant with people who are struggling with a difficult story to tell. Never sounds insincere.
Youngest fairylet just quizzed me over the 'eating of the Quality Street' and complaining that she'd had hardly any of them. If you're not fast you're last, I said.
I'm looking forward to being old and just living on biscuits and chocolates and not caring KEF. Doubt I'd stay at seven stone though - I'd need to lose a stone or two to get there first
I went out when the rain went off briefly and hoiked the fence back together - sort of. Fixed my neighbour's guttering on her garage before it fell off and took the soffit with it. Needs more brackets methinks. Weather's rubbish here today.

Frank has left us behind.
Hardly a breath of wind now and just a bit of light rain.
I've had the joy or online check in, and printing boarding passes, travel insurance documents, ATOL certificate, hotel check in papers etc etc
It used to be a "service" industry, now they expect the passenger/ customer to do it all. gggrrrr
Fg., my MIL lives in Ballater, OH just phoned to check on her, and she said she was just about to drive into the village, to take a look!!!
