    Just what I need chicky - after dealing with a very rude, sarcastic woman on the phone at work. What the **** is wrong with some people?

    Good job daughter has got the meatballs on for tea. I need some comfort food after doing the supermarket shopping after work too. I'm well scunnered  image

    Glad you had a good time T'bird - I was wondering whereabouts you were, what with the new snowfalls over the weekend etc. North east has had a lot more, but there's a fair bit everywhere down the west, and even at fairly low level.  We've had snow/sleet all day here,  although nothing lying. Supposed to be a bit  tonight though.

    I needed a bit of maths to work out sizes for building things, and for the amount of timber I needed for all the fence in the garden doc, does that count? 'Does that count'...d'you see what I did there.... image

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

    Welcome back Topbird, sounds like my kind of holiday, hope you had a lovely time.

    Dove, hope your on the mend and not going to try and overdo it this time...I believe a certain womble has a jumper that isn't going to knit itself, so you best stay on that sofa!

    Hope you have enjoyed your working holiday in the garden Hosta image

    Going to slob with a cuppa before making sausage and fried onion and cheese baguette hotdogs for supper....I'm sure its a health food in America image Enjoy the meatballs Fairy and the fact someone else is cooking them....bliss! image

    Very naughty looking cake Chicky.  Yum!   Happy birthday Chicklet.

    I need to find a new weather forecast.  This one has been promising me bucket loads of rain which doesn't arrive.  I need something a bit accurate.

    Pdoc - I would say plants are the basis of everything from basic life to great pleasure.

    Happy Birthday chicklet, what a gorgeous cake!

    Wonky your supper sounds my favourite, but I do like meatballs too..........

    obelixx my weather app is the same, it's never right

    Topbird glad you didn't get blown off the coast, any photos?

    A very dull day here, I had so hoped to get it but just too damp

    hope everyone is feeling better tonight

  • Evening all!

    Another out-all-day day, if you see what I mean.  Art this morning, spiders this afternoon (at U3A natural history group), followed by shopping and housework.  Busy but happy.  image

    Many happy returns to Chicklet; yummy-looking cake, Chicky!  image

    Beautiful snowdrops, Lily P.  Mine are just beginning to open.

    Hope the muzzy head eases soon, Obelixx.  Maybe you're fighting off some germs...

    Really enjoyed the channel 5 programme this evening about a year around Loch Lomond.  Lovely to see ospreys, red kites and golden eagles increasing as people understand better how to live side by side with them.

    Right, who passed their cold on to me?!!?! Can't believe it, so far this year I have had the dreaded fluey lurgy for about 3 weeks (plus nearly a week of last year), followed by a v painful UTI ('scuse me) and now I'm getting a cold - grrrrr. Actually I feel fine with it - just sneezing and blowing my nose lots, so not too bothered - but grrrr. 

    In other news, I have blocked up one of the many holes where the foxes come in and out of the garden. Not in the hope of keeping them out - they leap the fences anyway - but of making it a little less relaxing for them so hopefully they'll have less inclination to poo on everything, kill the grass and dig everything up. 

    Happy birthday to Chicklet, and what an awesome cake!

    Wishing health to the sickly, rain to the droughty, warmth to the chilly and a soft breeze to the sweaty. Plus clear skies and spring to everyone.

    What a yummy looking cake that is! I hope Chicklet enjoyed her day.

    Internet disappeared this afternoon, seems to be back now.

    Welcome back, Topbird, glad you enjoyed your trip and didn't get stuck in snow.
