    Hello all - just back from the regular singing day in York. 

    Hope you find the right place, Fidget.  Nothing better than a new garden for a new lease of life.  image

    Still no luck with the computer.  May take it to Burnley tomorrow, to a well-recommended repairer...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Thanks for the recipe Obx - will have a think about that one too. Either way I have some good ideas for using up tomatoes next autumnimage

    Fidget - sorry to hear your news. You seem quite accepting of the situation - hope it all goes to plan.

    Dinner sounds good Dove - I just always seem to need a couple of dishes that clear out the sinuses!!

    Thank you for explaining, Fidget. Good luck with finding the right bungalow. House moving can be stressful.

    I would like to sell my French farmhouse, too big and very isolated, but my children inherited a share of my late husband's part and I can't sell it without their permission, which 2 of them won't give. French inheritance laws, I've probably explained before. When we are really to old to cope we could move to our cottage in Norfolk, but I think I would still be liable for some of the bills in France if it isn't sold. My children all live in France.

    Still coughing, but we are going to a pub for dinner, don't feel like cooking. Went for a short walk in the village and met a friend who said this cold and cough has been all round the village anyway. He'd had it for over 2 weeks.

    I suppose he was a reasonable age. I'm watching Scorsese's documentary about Dylan which I recorded a while back....I hope that isn't an omen. Maybe I'll leave it for another time! image

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



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Sky Arts had a great programme last night on all the musicians that had died in 2016.

    Some great footage of Keith Emmerson on a revolving piano.

    Also fab. footage of Bowie and Prince.

    Morningimage  Tooooo earlyimageimage. Coal face beckons extra early this morning.  Gonna be a busy one - there was a flurry of emails/texts from sick people yesterday evening - think I might be in the office on my ownimage  There seems to be a variety of lurgies going roundimage

    Dinner with the outlaws was good.

    Has anyone else noticed that this has been a good year for viburnum bodnantense ?  Ours is the best it has ever been, and I keep noticing others that are a complete mass of pink, that I am sure I have never noticed before (unless I have wandered round with my eyes shut previous Januarysimage).

    Hosta - yes, the very same Hammer Lane, although I am more familiar with the bit of it that pops up on the other side of the A3 and makes its way to Barford/Churt image

    Good morning all image

    Horrid night coughing and spluttering, and then when I did sleep I had horrid dreams which woke me with my pulse racing cos I was 'being suffocated' ... I do hate being ill. image

    Hope fellow sufferers are feeling better today ...
