    Morning all/afties Pat. Hope your little dog is ok. 

    Hope ma is ok too Dove. Sad times.

    Steve -  I think the earth got knocked off it's axis at the start of this year. Here's hoping it will right itself and we don't lose any more much loved entertainers. The depth of feeling shows how much we think of them. That's a great tribute to their talents. 

    doc - why are you thinking of leaving? image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I wonder if the statistics for celebrities pan out across the general population - too many leaving too soon.    Either way, I'd be worried if I were a celeb of a certain age.    

    Cold and grey here.   I have a heavy date with some serious housework and still can't garden yet anyway.  Another few days for the thumb to heal and I am definitely right handed with hoes and trowels.   Can't even cut the grass as chappy hasn't returned the mower.   Only 2 weeks later than expected and the grass is growing thick and strong.........

    I have a golden leaved physocarpus with glorious bright spring foliage.  Unfortunately, from this angle, sat on the sofa looking out, it is clashing with the stems of a cornus Midwinter Fire so I shall have to move it.

    Punkdoc - the source of your irritation is known for being someone who takes offence easily but does not hesitate to give it.   Incontinent to boot, forgets or ignores what he's said previously and has never grasped the principle of not posting when less is more.

    Good morning, looks nice again tho there are a few clouds

    it has been said before but I agree there must be a h of a party going on up there. So many taken already this year.  good reason not to be a celebrity I think!

    hope everyone has a good day. I have to stay clean ( no heavy gardening) as off up to sisters to go tonight to Scottish Ballets new Swan Lake. Years since I have been to a ballet, looking forward to it

    Pat, it's so sad when our furry friends become tired, hope she perks up a little

    DD how's the garden coming on, we need some photos are you busy with guests?

    Busy, how will you last till Monday?

    Dove I hope Ma a bit brighter

    morning Bushman

    Fairy are you feeling better?

    Chicky I get obsessed at this time too and it's usually when I overdo it. Am under strict instructions this year not to do any one job for more than 20 mins.

    Punkdoc hope things are calm in the camp, when the weather is so nice and we are outside it is a double edged sword if neighbours play up 

    hope everyone has a good day

    Morning everyone. Temp has been 14 c outside all day and we even had some rain this morning (a whole 4mm. Yay!).

    Son and cats returned to their home today, so we can please ourselves what we watch on Tele tonight. image Our poodle eventually woke about 10.30 this morning and apart from  small attempts at eating and a few toilet walks,  has slept most of the day. 

    I notice the tv is already full of Prince stories - I think it even pushed the US election stuff off.

    Hello all image

    Even the P.G Tips chimp has died.

    Dove & Wonky I'm pleased you had some happy times after your visit to Ma / Gran.

    Pdoc I think I understand why you are considering leaving us, please don't. 

    Not as sunny as yesterday but a warmer start 6C I'll be busy potting flowers and veggies on.

    Hope all enjoy their day.

    Max temperature forecast to-day : 8C .

    I mean, what the flip??? it's the last week of April for goodness sake and I'm freezing.

    Looking  on the bright side, it's put everything on hold so I've got longer to sort stuff out before the growing season really gets under way.

    But 8C!!!!! Really?
