    Leg warmers too Clari.  Flexible open plan and snuggery sounds good to me.

    We have bought 3 new doormats and have a bowl at the back door and handy doggy towels ready for paw washing after mucky walkies.   Fortunately the dogs love the whole rub down process and know there'll be a Jumbone or pig'e ear at the end of it all.   The towels also do mucky paws just coming in from the garden - - if we catch them.

    Might have to tackle the fabric mountain next.    Not doing anythng about "improvements" till we're all sorted and know what we want and where to get it.  No point going off half-cocked.   .

    Impressive pickles Dove.  Somewhere, I have 3 cartons full of jams, chutneys and lime pickle.....

    It's the catching him that's the problem Ob! His lordship was raised in a barn I swear that door doesn't know where it lives half of the time so Reggie is far too good at sneaking through.

    Mind you he's not feeling too energetic today!

    Missed the rock posting Dove, sorry. I think we crossed , mid post.

    My rock isn't quite as big as that one, but it's only got to move about 2m.

    You sound very chipper about the new job Wonks. Hope it goes swimmingly image

    I'm wondering if obelixx's ginger cat has simply escaped from Trump's head...well, who could blame it ..

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

    Weve had some rain overnight , but it's dry at the moment, mainly overcast but with brightness in the west. I think I should net the pond today.
