Hi Forkers & Hola Geofredo. Lovely & sunny here today but at 5 a.m. we had thunder, lightening & a hail storm.
Jean - glad I'm not the only one who does crazy things to scare off sparrowhawks. I know that it is part of the food chain but I'm not fattening up all my little garden birds for his benefit! He can go elsewhere to do that sorry.
Jo - good to hear that progress is being made and at least you've been warm. Becks - glad the cake was so well received - who wouldn't be pleased with all Jess' decorations.
Was a huge box of large resin Santa's, Snowmen n other Christmas characters on my arrival this morning!
I was really tempted to lay them out in a group and get a shot sat in the centre of them all, but with a lot of top brass still hanging about! Thought better of it!
All those expats with nothing to do all day but stroll around in the sun and sip Sangria?
I have got a bread maker, one of those you just sling everything into and about 2hrs later you get some sort of bread. To be honest I'm not that impressed, it never seems to taste a good as bread made the traditional way, so it's in the cupboard with all the other gadgets that I thought I couldn't manage without..
We have 3 walls emulsioned, Oh is still muttering about the cost of paint. I thought he would have a heart attack when we had to pay for it yesterday, it's certainly gone up in price since we last decorated. £39 for a 5 ltr tin. He was going to do the bedrooms, but is now rethinking
I'm not cooking tea tonight. We are having an Indian takeaway to see what it's like before OH birthday do, having a few people round for that so want to make sure it's okay. Any excuse.
My daughter lived in Spain for a fewmonths. Found the ex-pats very helpful especially when she had a medical problem. Did text me once asking what to do about jelly fish stings. Me noe a clue, directed her to pharmacy
Just had a thought wedding receptions often have fireworks now and it is November. We'll have to grin and bear it, It's explaining them to Oscar (dog) that is the problem
Luckily the cats i have at present dont mind fireworks, which is good as they have been going onfor about 2 weeks already. One of them actually sits on the window ledge to watch them but he is a cat with very little brain.
Need to go get my Cordy back from my buddies as he is on a course tommorrow, n if all goes according to plan, I am aiming to get away early n have a few hours on the plot erecting n filling the rest of the new raised beds!

Jo - Glad to hear you are at last now warm!
Jean - Sad to hear you are not gunna be!
Beck's - I missed an early finish due to road works! Does that count?
Am eating biscuits & sort of listening to GQT, good job repeated on Sunday though.
Have quickly put a wee bit of washinbg out to blow away probably, it's that bad out there! It is actually raining in the wind, but who cares?
OH just had coughing fit & has set me off!
Dyson awaits again, J.
Who is Dyson-the butler?
Dean -you look like a walking wasp-is that a good look?
Caz

Thinking maybe not!

Hi everyone.
Just catching up with all the carrying ons.
Geoff, do you really want to go to live in Spain

Hello to everyone who has just joined in today
Luckily the cats i have at present dont mind fireworks, which is good as they have been going onfor about 2 weeks already. One of them actually sits on the window ledge to watch them but he is a cat with very little brain.
Nipping out for an hour or two!
Need to go get my Cordy back from my buddies as he is on a course tommorrow, n if all goes according to plan, I am aiming to get away early n have a few hours on the plot erecting n filling the rest of the new raised beds!
