DD - two weeks at Carnaval seems a bit odd to us after Belgium's one week but since they all do it I'm sure the administrative wheels will grind on in the usual way. Patience and, as you say, enjoy the calm before the storm. Fingers crossed it all gets moving soon.
Liri - how very worrying for you. Fingers crossed for you and the baby too.
Busy - Where did you get your albums? I have photos going back decades that need organising but I get irritated by the usual albums and am definitely not into scrap-booking.

DD ((hugs)) sounds like you're doing brilliantly, all things considered. Take it easy while you can
BL - I remember meeting you and OH - it was a lovely day
LilyP ((hugs)) for little one and family ... and you too of course.
Wonky ((hugs)) xx
Fairy, you'd better wander around the garden calling Nora ... perhaps she'll make herself known
I've just spent an annoying few minutes reporting a phishing scam to Apple - some low life emailed me an invoice purporting to come from them and hoping that I'd put my card details into it - apparently I bought some sort of 'game' in the wee small hours ... as if
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

One load of washing done - bedclothes to do now. not suitable for hanging out unfortunately. I love being able to get bedding out. Simple pleasures
Must get on with sewing too - proper loop for the spike end of the ice axe instead of a bit of cord which isn't easy to tie in when you have gloves on. Not likely to need it tomorrow as the snow's all disappearing again.
I'm racking my brains to think of a Nora - but I'm sure LP will enlighten me!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I don't do anything special. It gets plenty of water, either naturally, or the odd watering can if there's a prolonged dry spell (aye right ) and a feed of B,F&B in spring if I remember, although it's got a little bit of Cardamime pratensis at it's feet so I don't always bother. A mulch of manure or compost to keep moisture in, although again, only when I remember as it has a fair bit of foliage round it's feet so it doesn't readily dry out. It's predominantly east facing. I just put some compost on it yesterday in fact, and gave it a bit of a trim for the new season. There's plenty of new growth emerging. I occasionally do a watering of tomato food till it flowers if I don't do the B,F&B. It gets the same treatment as the other clematis I have. Not sure what else to suggest if you don't do something similar

Just missed DD and Lily P. Hello DD. I hope your new grandbaby is recovering well, how worrying for you, especially in another country.
Oh LP - I hope all is ok with the baby. Puts our little moans and groans about s*d all into perspective really.
I don't know what plant you mean. I don't have anything called Nora...
DD- love to you as always. Keep hanging in there - you'll come out the other end like a butterfly emerging from the chrysalis xxx

Morning DD and Hosta hugs to you. Our posts overlapped.
Keep your chin up Poppet. x
Morning all.
Obelixx, it's LilyP with the poorly granddaughter - do hope she recovers quickly, LP. Hugs to you all.
Grey and gloomy morning so I'm away upstairs to do some sewing.

Sorry. Sounds similar in my poor morning brain.
What are you sewing?
