Papi Joe - It is this early in the year! Let's have autumn first, and Halloween and Guy Fawkes and Armistice and, for those of us in Belgium and the Netherlands, St Nicholas!

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Good morning all , the heavy rain forecast has started. Just having breakfast at moment was going to pick new glasses up today , think I will leave to next week , might need to put heating on !
DD , certainly keeping busy , is the place you work big and grand , just being nosey
DD - sounds like you are keeping busy with plenty of variety. Enjoy - and do have a lie-in tomorrow.
Yesterday evening's excitable winds came to nothing in the end with just a dribble of rain. Needless to say a deluge is forecast for tomorrow when we would like to be donating boxes of books to the autumn book sale for charity. It's held in a car park so gets cancelled if it rains. What to do with all those books?
Having watered all my pots I shall now be good and sew two last cushion covers for Possum and then paint her chairs. Packing boxes arriving late afternoon and dance club Open Doors evening tonight so busy times here too...... Self inflicted but daunting nonetheless.
I've been and checked our fig this morning. Dozens of decent sized fruits that are not likely to ripen enough now despite a month of very warm sunshine to do the trick. Grump.

We're in deepest French speaking countryside Hosta and the books include lots of fiction but also a whole series on photography and some cook books and guide books and so on - useful to ex-pats nearer Brussels but not here. We have found a chap who collects unwanted bits and bobs and sells them for charity but not English books.
I too find that Trump chappy offensive and abhorrent and just have to wonder about the state of US society that people feel drawn to him as a some sort of saviour even tho I can understand their distrust of the alternative.

Bored sieving slate chippings. I must have moved about 3 or 4 tons by now.
" The C. word" is best not mentioned around me for at least another 2 months" bah humbug.

I followed you RB. . . . we won't know until she's back online after the storm damage.
Hi obelixx. Do you have anything like " freecycle"? Maybe an " old school" notice in the local shop window?
I hate the idea of books being dumped. My daughter was almost reduced to tears once when she saw books in a skip at the local "tip"
I'm not a violent man, but every time I see Donald Trump I want to punch him really , really hard then cut that stupid mop off his head.
As long as you aim nice and low Hosta
There's a bit of thunder in the distance, but it's not here yet ... ..................................
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Good morning all, hi Pat
Rb you're right that it's Lizzie's birthday today. At least it was last year
. Well done
. Hope she's back online soon.
Hope you start to feel better soon Wonky but if you're just skipping to the loo instead of a full on sprint you must be improving
I once took a couple of boxes of books down to our local charity shop and was told they didn't want them as they get too many
.
Fairy have a good walk tomorrow. Are you taking your little frog back to the hills in your flask?
.
Must get on with the dusting before OH comes back to chase me with the hoover

No thunder here but the clouds are building up. Radar shows it's on your way Dove but not here. Quite colourful over East Anglia really - http://en.blitzortung.org/live_dynamic_maps.php?mobile=1
