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.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
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!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Morning Tooooo early. 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 own There seems to be a variety of lurgies going round
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 Januarys).
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
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.
Hope fellow sufferers are feeling better today ...

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.
Still no luck with the computer. May take it to Burnley tomorrow, to a well-recommended repairer...
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 autumn
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!!
Peter Sarstedt - and so it goes on..........

Some great footage of Keith Emmerson on a revolving piano.
