Congratulations chicklet. Get better soon. Wonky I hope your day at work is not too strenuous.
Very misty here this morning too, I could feel the droplets on my face when I went for a walk but then I had an unexpected drenching when a fat woodpigeon took off from a tree I was walking under.
Joyce, what a disappointment that your favourite piece of art was already sold.
Some 'parent' decided that their two children were happily occupied playing on the escalators while they did their shopping yesterday.
Must get cracking as son has an appointment at the dental hospital in an hour.
Congratulations Mini Chicky! Definitely get the Ben and Jerrys out it is the best known cure for tonsillitis.
Dove: if I can hand the child back the right way up and not screaming I like to think I've done a good job. It always surprises me in a world where children are so wrapped up in cotton wool how many I find wandering around the museum on their own. Yes by all means encourage independence but at least TRY to keep an eye on them you never know what nutter is tucked around the corner.
I am currently working from my "cupboard" on the door it clearly says WARNING: KEEP OUT (I didn't realise I was so dangerous). Want to guess how many people have tried to open the door? It makes me wonder how many people walk around this building determined to see *ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING* that they check the cupboards!
I was handed a baby at a party so I carefully put it on the floor beside the sofa so it wouldn't get dropped/squashed/mishandled. There was outrage! Well don't hand it to me then. I don't b****y want it!
I keep folk out of my place by liberally applying bio-hazard (true) tape to all visible surfaces! If the donuts recognise it well and good, if not they still think it's radio active (false). I win!!!
Oooh good idea Plant. I have a lot of POLICE tape but could do with stretching my legs; might nip and get some more nasty tape. I think tonight I will try and record the hound barking (proper German Shepherd land shark bark) and start playing it whenever people walk past. That'll soon put them off!
Hooray! We have TV and OH is back... He tells me that women's beach volleyball is even better in HD.
Thanks for good wishes re holidays; careful packing less important this time because we're going by ferry. Looking at the forecast for the Irish Sea on Friday night, I think I might regret that decision...
Congratulations (and commiserations on the throat) to Chicklet. Ice cream, definitely.
My courgettes are also just beginning to produce, runner beans are going full tilt, and Victoria plums are just ripening. Hope my lovely cat-sitting neighbour will eat the produce while we're away...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Clari - a tip - sometimes tipping them the wrong way up stops the screaming - at least for a little while
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Pp that made me laugh out loud and so did OH when I read it to him
. It would have been different if it had been a puppy though wouldn't it?

True story Lesley. It is assumed that everybody likes babies/small children/large children. They don't.
Good afternoon all!
