No sun here today but no rain either. I have been indoors on the PC trying to firm up arrangements for adopting kittens and banging head on metaphorical General Records Office wall? It seems I don't exist so I can't have a copy of my birth certificate. Perils of being born a colonial! Have to deal with Tanzanian embassy now...........
Stuff in my fridge is safe as long as I remember to tell OH what is in and out of bounds. It's taken years of training.
I have been given the go-ahead to buy a robot cleaner for downstairs. Yeah! The bloody Dyson will do for cleaning cars.
No Black Friday here thank goodness.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Today was fun, although it meant standing in a badly lit open barn, cold, wet and muddy outside, sorting bags and bags of secondhand clothes, some dirty, some worn out, some smelly but some almost new and nice. Surprising what some people wear and that they think anyone would want to wear them again in a tatty state! But lots had been washed and ironed too. Lovely atmosphere, some people had driven 1 1/2 - 2 hours to come and help. Lots of neatly packed, labelled boxes are now waiting for the van to take them to Syria. Lunch was fun too, people had donated soup, quiches, sandwiches and cakes.
Shall have a quiet evening in front of the telly.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thank you ladies! but in truth I think it is cuz the competition is a load of chaps that don't know who Monty Don is, have never watched gardeners world but do a good impersonation of the Texas chainsaw massacre with a hedge trimmer!
Haven't seen Clari today Dove, think she had planned a duvet day for sometime over the weekend, not sure when that was but her OH was having a boys trip or something, felt sure we would have been invited for the duvet day, even if its just to keep her and Reggie warm!
Hello Hazel, thank you! think there's sunshine this weekend, hope we are all able to get out in the garden!
BusyL, sounds like a good day have to agree, I wonder about what folks wear sometimes, mind you, think fashion and I are at crossed purposes!
I'm here Dove! Been one of those oh so busy days. I'm now on a late night waiting for his lordship to call for a lift home. I don't mind taking him into the big city for a night out; but it's a 30 mile round trip each time (plus it's where I work so that'll be 90 miles today just going to Sheffield!)
I've spent my evening wisely, prepped a months worth of dog meals, changed the bed sheets, dug out the bacon for tomorrow, and glanced at the ironing board... let's not get too carried away on a Friday night!
I'm wondering whether if I take the hound out for a walk around midnight he might get confused and I'll get a lay in tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't think I can trick that my body that needs it's morning mug of tea.

Well done WW. On a roll, clearly.

Wonky - well done - keep warm ((hugs))
Have we seen Clari today?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oops, missed Wonky's high marks. Well done Wonky.
Well done in the tests Wonky. When you've done your chainsaw course I might have a few odd jobs that need doing....
Thank you ladies!

Off to slob on the sofa, night folks!
Evening all.
Been lying on sofa, catching up with The Missing, find it too confusing if I only watch one episode a week.
Have consumed a whole packet of Thorntons chocolate gingers, so am now bloated.
Having been exhausted all day, am wide awake now.
Congratulations WW.
When you don't even know who's in the team

954 students so far this month by the way. I'm a bit disappointed we'll not hit one thousand!
