    It not warm here either.... image

    As for the arm... it could well be better but sadly I coughed yesterday evening and pulled my bicep image So much more painful as I don't know when it's going to hurt image I'm semi ambidextrous, which is lucky as it's my right arm that's jiggered image I can't strap it up as it hurts randomly.

    Fidget, dress is fairly traditional, Ivory no train, floor length... have been thinking about this for ages so knew exactly what I wanted image I undertand the scaffolding issue for dresses, I tried on a strapless number..... was hysterical, they dropped pretty much to my waist! The woman who was helping me with the dress agreed that I would need straps image Hahaha!!! 

    Regarding the hair, am not a natural blonde (it all came via bleach! image) and obviously I'm not a natural pink image We are thinking a light silver with hints of lilac/lavender (my theme colour is lavender). My natural hair colour is going the way of my mothers..... grey so it should suit me image Hope to be doing it in the next couple of weeks so will keep you posted image

    Enough about me.....

    Glad yesterday went well Dove and Wonky image must have been hard though. ((Hugs)) for both.

    Joyce, glad Mr Joyce is back image

    Clari, I am excited to look forward to some possible job news.... image

    Hope everyone else is ok....

    Oh, and Lily et al..... deffo we'll have a hen night..... and maybe a Folkers hen outing for those that can make it image I would suggest a garden visit but what is there to see in December? Maybe we could just do the coffee and cake instead image

    I'm not too young to remember Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell. Sometimes I think I remember things  from long ago better than 2 or 3 years ago.

    Maybe not a garden, Panda, but what about a Pantomime?

    Now,  a forum pantomime could   be interesting...

    Kef and  the beanstalk.

    We could do  Cinderella, but who would be the ugly  sisters?

    Verdun and DK of course.    Who would be the wicked stepmother and where, oh where would you find a Prince Charming and not a frog?

    4P - RHS gardens get dressed up for Xmas with lighting and displays and cake in the cafés.   I expect others do too, especially those with winter walks.

    Quite warm here for the brief spells where the sun came out but otherwise pretty parky for mid May.   Still have courgettes waiting to be planted out.   Keeping them tucked up at night in the garage and opening the door to the light by day.

    Have a good sleep everyone.  Sweet dreams.

    Hi to everyone. We are still getting minus temps each night, so you're not the only ones feeling cold.

    the weather is certainly strange lately.  Darwin who have their wet season over the period Nov to Feb are still getting rain and storms. image
