    I'll just say three words Hosta  - Sir Philip Green....image

    Perdiddling here. It's not been above 13 or 14 degrees today. Hopeless. I hope the black paint hasn't washed off completely from the edging I did this morning. Painting inside instead  image

    Memorials are sad aren't they - yet very compelling. We forget so easily GWRS. 

    I posted a pic of Alice bear  a while ago. Can't find the pic on my pooter though. Her eyes broke a long time ago and I sewed buttons on, but then they made that creepy animation - Coraline  image

    Think I may buy some proper eyes for her....

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Impressive memorial GWRS

    I was numbed when I saw the number of names on the Menin Gate in Ypres.

    It's going to be a case of battening down the hatches here tonight. The wind is strengthening and the trees are being battered image

    That's impressive GWRS, what a sad waste of life war is.

    I never had a teddy bear. But I do have one of those yellow mixing bowls. MIL was horrified I didn't have one when I was a newly wed so she rushed off and bought one for me in Woolies.

    Must go and see if I can find Dove's Norfolk thread.

    The down side of all this weight loss is I've just had to buy 3 new pairs of shorts for winter hols. 

    I hate shopping for clothes. Next sale online to the rescue.

    This afternoon, I found a dead mole on the grass. This is the second one I've found on the surface this summer.

    Is this odd?

    Did something dig it up, kill it but not eat it, or do they come to the surface to pop their worm munching clogs?

  • Hosta, it's probably been killed by a cat - they'll kill them but apparently they taste foul - our cats used to bring moles through the cat flap into the porch and just leave them there.

    Dove, there is a programme tonight, 7.30, about a Norfolk boy who is a brilliant artist of Norfolk scenes, 14 yrs, Kieran Williamson. BBC East. We saw some of his paintings in a gallery in Holt.
