Looks like a good day chicky - apart from cheesy chips....
Was that a touch of the 'Titanics' going on?
Seems everyone had a good day yesterday on their various outings
Off work but up to take children to work...what's that about! At least I can come home and relax and footle in the garden if it dries up. If not...I may be on here avoiding doing internal work...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A fine morning here in Norfolk, and a warm week ahead if the forecasters are to be believed ... that should ripen the last of the tomatoes.
We had a lovely day with friends at Cromer yesterday and then I managed to stay awake for Poldark.
I forgot to mention that whilst eating our fish and chips, we had our own 'Poldark moment' when two tall and handsome young men emerged from the sea in their unmentionables and came to join us in our shelter whilst they towelled down and pulled on their jeans and tee shirts - we decided they were not English - no English lad would be that self-assured in public in nothing but a pair of wet boxers.
Some of you know I've been suffering with a very painful shoulder for the past few weeks - our Fish & Chip companions decided that it had gone on long enough and I should definitely make a GP appointment today - then as I got into bed after watching Poldark, my shoulder made an almighty and painful crunch - then another as I lay down This morning it's much better, I have a lot more movement in it and much less pain. There certainly seems no need to see the GP.
I'm not sure who should take the credit - the Fish & Chippers or Poldark

Well that's a strange story Dove. I hope your shoulder is more comfortable today.
Im absolutely worn out this afternoon. At midnight last night, Hubby decided it would be a good idea to have a "quick" trip to Canberra today, to buy a couple of things that needed replacing. We got away at 9.30, but he decided it would be smarter to take the unsealed road through Captains Flat to Queanbeyan and then back via the highway because there had been an accident at 4am (unhappily with a fatality) and the road might be closed. Half way there, on the dirt road, a light appeared on his dashboard. Stopped and checked the handbook. Water in the diesel. He fiddled with something under the bonnet while HRH and I walked around under a gum tree. Eventually he decided we had no choice but to push on since we were in the middle of nowhere and of course no mobile signal. We eventually got to Canberra, bought several things, grabbed some takeaway, headed for home at 3pm. We got down to where the accident had happened overnight, and you guessed it, the road was still closed. This is the main arterial road between Canberra and the snow fields and various towns. We were directed to take a detour which took us over half an hour to negotiate and then joined the highway about 10km south of the original detour. Der! I couldn't wait to get home and have a cuppa.
Clicky shoulder sounds interesting Dove. Hope it stays right.
Like your colourful huts Chicky but not those pebbles.
Dull here but set to get warm and sunny again tomorrow which is good planning as I have a last push in the attic to get done today and then a car to load up with spare plants to take to my last garden group tomorrow. My group, started 20 years ago and ebbed and flowed as people came and went but a good strong group now so a bit of a wrench.
Must crack on. Have a good one everyone, whatever you're doing.

Hubby working locally so he brought me a nice cuppa at 7.45 before he left for work.
Funnily enough it was freezing by the time I woke at 9.03!!
Glad most of you seemed to have a good weekend. Sorry about your trip Pat.
Dove, I think you ought to go and chat to the Doc about the whole shoulder thingy. Even if all he / she says is " yeah , all seems fine now"
Raining now and looks like it might have been doing so all night long.
Knock at the door last night from someone saying they'd just killed a cat which jumped in front of their car. Turns out it was the lovely Sebastian who lives along the road but thinks he lives here. Bless'im.
Oh Hosta was that the pusscat you told us about? The one that tries to come indoors if you leave the bedroom windows open? Sad
I'll tell the GP about my shoulder at my next regular check up. I spoke to Bro the other day who reminded me that his shoulders dislocate quite easily - once when he sneezed when his arm was raised and resting on a ledge! We both have large bones, loose ligaments and joints which tend to be shallow and hyper-flexive (hence my dodgy knee).
This looks like it:
"Repetitive Strain
Some people with shoulder instability have never had a dislocation. Most of these patients have looser ligaments in their shoulders. This increased looseness is sometimes just their normal anatomy. Sometimes, it is the result of repetitive overhead motion.
Swimming, tennis, and volleyball are among the sports requiring repetitive overhead motion that can stretch out the shoulder ligaments. Many jobs also require repetitive overhead work.
Looser ligaments can make it hard to maintain shoulder stability. Repetitive or stressful activities can challenge a weakened shoulder. This can result in a painful, unstable shoulder."

Sounds a good day out, Dove. We are hoping to go on the North Norfolk railway tomorrow and visit Holt and Sheringham.

Had a great day in Brighton yesterday ....no sun, howling gale, but good cheesy chips
Then back to sisters for a fun evening (had to excuse myself at 7pm to go into a corner and listen to the wireless
) and back here very late.

Not so good Pat. Hope you and the motor are OK.

Is that you Chicky, or Chicklet?
Credit to you Dove, you got into bed in just the right way to click your shoulder back in place!
We are off to Holt in a minute.
Morning all

Not a pleasant day out Pat
Overnight rain and a bit breezy. . . . h......k today I'm afraid.
