Lizzie, we have lots " over retirement age" in our store including 2 ladies who are both 73 bless'em. One of them has just "re-trained" so she can work on tills. She's usually in the cafe.
Very blowy with blustery showers all morning. Bored with it now. I want warm sunshine and not so much wind.
More rain here but sunny now so OH will do walkies while I carry on painting. The paint turns out to be "chalky" and is hard work compared to normal acrylics but the effect should be good. Cutting in is always so slow anyway.
Both kittens got caught out in a shower and had to have a rub down once rescued form their shelter. Turns out they like that but all 4 critters and OH are a bit stir crazy stuck indoors so I hope the dry spell holds for a while.
Did you enjoy the book to the end Busy? I read it several years ago and remember mixed feelings but not why.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Those 'chalky' paints are usually really good Obelixx - particularly for traditional buildings with stone walls or timber framed ones - they should allow the walls to breathe and prevent condensation/moulds etc.
I felt the same about Labyrinth - I've not been tempted to read anything else by her.
Hmm - apparently there's no power in the athletics stadium in Belgrade - we now have an episode of Coast instead while someone puts a coin in the slot ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Aha - just as I was getting interested in the walking sand dunes of Denmark, someone has found enough Dinars to feed the meter and we have athletics on tv - we've not missed anything because the whole stadium had ground to a halt

Forecast was rain all day, but they got it wrong . Beautiful at the moment with just the odd short sharp downpour. Sowed my sweetpeas and used my christmas present for the first time ....a dutch hoe - certainly made quick work of the weeding - lets see how quickly they come back. It might just be my new best friend
Now off for a walk up Black Down ....will take waterproofs - hoping to catch a sunset

If only Dove. All the walls have been lined with plaster board except for a couple in the annex where they kept the original stonework visible.
A shame aesthetically ... but probably much warmer

We having the monkey's birthday plus some wind and hail here!
No gardening today so did 'craft' with my niece. I can see glitter bits on the table cloth so better change that before we have glittery dinner.
Mucho excitemundo.
Fire alarm went off this afternoon.
" sorry, I'm afraid we have to evacuate the building"
" do I have to leave as well?"
"no, not if you want to stay and fry"
