Rain came on just as I was leaving to collect daughter from work - managed to get the washing in...
Supposed to be a half decent day tomorrow Joyce. Can't make my mind up whether to walk or try and get on with the outside stuff here. It's a right pain....so much to do and not enough dry days...
Can he come up here afterwards Dove, pretty please
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Glad the shoulder is getting seen, Dove - these things can linger on. Sooner you than me at - what was it - 7.45am though... now I'm retired I realise I'm definitely an owl, not a lark.
BL, hope your house has cooled down a bit! We're opening our bedroom window with care at the moment, as there seems to be a wasp's nest in the loft just above the top of the window. I'm trying to ignore the wasps as I think they should depart on their own in a few months. Can anyone confirm that, please?
I'm not a royalist either, but I think that on the whole the royal family are a pretty hard-working, diligent lot. They don't often cry off engagements - even the oldest of them...
I've got one of those mustard-yellow white-inside gigantic mixing bowls too. Mine belonged to MIL, and, I think, to her mother before her.
I weigh out the dried fruit & peel for my "celebration cakes" (careful avoidance of seasonal references, pease note!) and put them in a 2lb jamjar with appropriate booze (often Madeira, which we get given when we go there on holiday). It gets left soaking until I remember to make the cake.
Has anyone noticed it's National Teddybear Day? I still have my childhood bear, who is aged 61, and called, imaginatively, Teddy. Anyone else share their lives with a bear?
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I can ask him Fairy, but he doesn't drive and it's uphill all the way to you on his bike He's also not that keen on Scottish weather, having spent a midsummer with me on Skye Mind you, he does like Glasgow ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
My teddybear is still around, but only just - he's very fragile and falling to pieces. His name is Edward, he's 65 and was bought from Hamleys when I was first expected - he's unusual, being grey mohair and had felt pads, button eyes and a proper pointy stitched nose. Ma told me he had a Steiff ear tag but when I was little I persuaded Pa to cut it out with metal snippers as I didn't like my bear having an ear tag like the cows on our farm.
Think we have a wasps' nest above our landing window - they don't seem to be causing a problem so we're leaving them to get on with their lives. All the wasps except the queen will die when winter comes and next spring the queen will build a new nest. Maybe she'll find somewhere else to do it.

My childhood bear lives upstairs with my youngest Liri.
She's called Alice (the bear not the fairylet) and is pink. She's very worn and threadbare as oldest fairylet loved her too. She'll always be in our lives
Dove - it's only a few hundred miles....and quicker once he's on the motorway 'cos there's the slipstream behind the lorries

My teddy is called Richard.
He was 56 in July.

Nice to see proper accountability at last. Shame other companies are not being treated in the same way for their dodgy dealings
