Morning all/afties Pat We could do with that Camelot weather as well! Pretty miserable here and not looking like it's getting better any time soon.
Pity about the tennis Liri - but didn't those diving boys do well - absolutely superb! They thoroughly deserved it - what a competition Gymnastics was great too although I didn't see much of it.
Lovely pic BL. Pity about the cake..
Glad you got something B'man. It may not be forever so try and stay positive. We're all here to help you keep your chin up in the tough times. x
Just heard that 8 golden eagles have gone 'missing'. Near grouse moors on the 11th of August. Think we all know what that means....
Better go and get organised for work. Another day another dollar...pretty much just another dollar
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...
Clari fingers crossed it brightens up this afternoon
Joyce thick mist and heavy drizzle here, bit wind too
Dove if I sent my tomatoes down could you "turn" them for me? Looks like It's going to be a green chutney year again!
Fidget happy pottering, coffee just been served here
Bushman, I agree with Pat what about looking for an allotment? Are you still in same town? the gardens in Selkirk were amazing and I am sure he would love some help, said he was on his own nice chap
going to keep busy today little gd s results from the hospital confirmed she has this horrid genetic thing and although we were pretty sure it's now a certainty which kind of hits you

good morning, yes I heard about the eagles too. Tomorrow is 12th!! Everything busy here getting ready for "themselves" who will be up to shoot. Used to be "the boys" came too but of course they are all grown up now

LP ((hugs)) these genetic conditions can be worrying, but forewarned is forearmed - hopefully stuff can be done to mitigate its impact on her life - internet associations and support groups can provide a wealth of information
Must make a shopping list and get some food ready - friend arriving Saturday for a few days and I don't want to spend all the time cooking, so I'll make some dishes I can keep in the fridge and re-heat.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The Golden Eagle problem has been there for quite a while. Gamekeepers are always the first to be accused whenever a bird goes missing. It happened with Hen Harriers and Red kites also. I personally worked on projects to educate keepers about these birds and how to live with them and manage moors around them. However the timing of the announcement by the RSPB does make you wonder. The Grouse industry in Britain is worth many millions and perhaps the RSPB would better serve the people who donate to them by working with people to find an answer rather than accusing. Rant over
Back from my annual review at GP. B/P and weight the same for past three years but I'd like some of Hosta's weight loss Results of blood tests in a week.
Is plantpauper off on hol or lost on her wild bank?
LP, let's hope for some advance in medical science for genetic disorders My daughter has SLE and there has been some development with new drugs to alleviate symptoms
It's another grey and breezy day here, which I don't mind too much as I have no pressing jobs to get done outdoors. All achey today, which suggests we might get some rain....I never believed that people's joints could hurt more when it was damp weather, but unfortunately have found it that it is true. The last couple of days I've cleared out junk from our passageway and prepared paperwork for a corporate tax return, so nothing exciting. A bit of work this morning, and a bit more this afternoon and then I'm free for a few days again, so it would be nice to see the sun out then!
Oh, and I'm currently eating a large Toblerone.....I'd offer some around, but I'm not sure there'll be much left soon!

Joyce, my daughter also has SLE. She was diagnosed when she was 19. I wasn't aware that there was some good progress being made about it.
Pat, Will send PM.
