There's me thinking it was my 'puter. I rebooted it.
Just had an email to say the parcel I have been waiting in for has been left by the gate, and a card through the door. Now we just need to find out whose gate and door!
Undergardener got a bit over enthusiatic with the pergola plants. Oh well, it will grow back I suppose. The shredding pile is about the size of a shed.
Lantana I decided to take him on a route march this morning and leave him too worn out so he'd sleep til my partner gets home (he's finishing early) as he'd be much more settled with his blankies than listening to Brownies bounce around the building. Poor little sleepy thing only normally gets a gentle plod around the park in the mornings: he kept looking at me with concern when we kept walking further and further off the normal route. Perhaps he knew he'd miss out on the lunch box making and thus the meaty off cuts.
For such a young dog he really is so lazy!
I've hand washed all the cushions the students sit on during workshops. I thought I'd be ever so clever and light the fire in the coffee shop to dry them with.... whose pinched all the matches?!
I want to stay working with children, I'm not sure how I'm going to do it (I'm rather more qualified in engineering than children... but that said most electrical engineers want their noses wiping for them so its not a massive leap). I'm hoping I can use my Makaton sign language training to an advantage and find some not hideously expensive courses to go on too. Not the most ideal of times when all funds are being ploughed into the house!
Not a good start to the day, Joyce, but hope the problem is solved now and it doesn't happen again.
I've actually managed to get out into the garden today, dug up the dahlias and begonias in troughs and re-planted - but couldn't finish because I ran out of potting compost. OH has swept up 6 big barrow loads of leaves from the kitchen terrace.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've just seen the Waitrose Christmas Advert .......... it's wonderful ............. I much prefer it to the John Lewis one .................. even if it does tell a few ornithological porkies
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh Joyce! Your loo sounds far more dramatic than ours! Apparently ours was because its one of those weak modern flushes, but left a key out for the plumber, went to work, hubby came home for lunch and the loo was unblocked and plumber was fixing the boiler....home from a day of getting rained on and I have heating, , the ability to wash up and shower and a loo that works! I thought you were going to say you got a free spade and plunger and if you had the rain that we did then you could have had a nice water feature in the hole! Glad its all sorted put for you now!
Clari, good luck with the brownies! I like the chocolate chip ones better myself
Evening Dove your knitted v neck sleeveless jumper was a very appreciated layer today! Thankyou! X

Glad the site's back.

I've just had a thought. This super moon business...
... now since the emergency services HATE full moons because of the less than pleasing effect it has on people ...
... can anyone tell me how it might affect the brownies visiting the building or indeed the ghosts that reside here?
It'll have no effect whatsoever Clari

Clari, Have you looked into funding for courses?
Too cloudy here to see the supermoon.

Thanks to Nora and the team for fixing the site
Agree, Dove
The moon is looming nice and bright over to the east but is playing peekaboo with clouds. Lovely silver linings and some stars but not a lot of moon.
