Morning all. Thanks for the support; honestly it horrifies me that it's not just my mother out there just has no concept of dignity - surely as a new mum you're allowed to carry the "baby weight" as long as you want. But at 8 weeks all I'd be concerned about is whether mother and child are clean, fed, and rested!
Wonky; thank you for the offer of sharing Mother Dove!
I'm afraid I went to bed at 20:00 last night I felt so drained even moving my arms felt an effort. I am taking a fire engine to a SEN school today for fun and trying on uniforms so really need to be on top form. (Day off tomorrow though). Missed the moon; hoping the BBC will have pictures!
Incase I forget HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT for when it happens! (still the 21st here).
Morning all, afternoon Pat and happy birthday for tomorrow! Good luck with the new phone!
Woken up with sniffles after a very bad nights sleep, now have to go swimming for work! don't think its a good idea! Not raining for the first time in yonks tho, but I won't be in the garden
Morning all /afties Pat. I'll say Happy Birthday now in case I miss it when it arrives!
Stay warm and eat cake is always a good motto
I saw the moon last night just before I went to bed and thought it looked so pretty that I'd take a photo - and then I didn't. Regretted it when I heard on the news earlier that it was a strawberry moon (as Joyce said) and it's the first time it's coincided with the solstice sine 1967.
My mind was taken up with the k**b across the back from me who'd been faffing with one of his clapped out cars since I got back from work at 5 and was still there at half 9. Engine revving etc. He was still out there at 10 with a light on messing about with it.
A well aimed, lit match would solve that quite easily....
Hope today is better for you Clari. What's that saying about 'a trouble shared' ?
Would you like a note to get you out of swimming Wonks?
Off to t'mill soon - have a good day everyone .
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
afternoon Pat, glad you had a good trip to Canberra and hubby got on ok, sounds chilly? Don't forget to go on the Birthday thread tomorrow
Clari, I loved my mum but she could be very sharp with me, there were 4 of us and I was the one who did the most for her. Even my siblings would be shocked at what she said to me. The lesson I learnt was never ever to be that kind of mum. After she died I was astounded that I was left all the "best" bits. Just be yourself, and remember you are a grown woman now and make your own decisions
Wonky, that's a shame, feel better soon
off to make sure garden tidy,photographer arrives for preview this morning
dil and wee poppet arrive today, the fun starts!
can you believe the Senate has not tightened the gun laws post Florida?!?!
have a good day

Hope the chlorine fumes clear your head Wonky - try to wrap up warm afterwards (Yes, I know ... you're 27 )
It's fine and dry here with spells of sunshine, so this morning I will be playing in the garden. After lunch we'll be going to the British Art Show - great excitement as this year it's here in Norwich
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Working in garden until 7.45 last night and didn't sleep well . Work from 12 - 8 to-day . I hate that shift. Too late to get home, change, water tunnels, bathe, eat and get to bed. gggrrrr.
Laundry to get done before I go in.
On a plus note........I HAVE LOST 3 STONES IN WEIGHT.

As yours get longer, the days get shorter here. The nights are drawing in and summer hasn't started yet!
