    Morning all.

    OH much brighter yesterday

    Suspicion is now on the cladding of the tower block.  Last year that was the problem in one the hotel fires in Dubai.

    My ornamental cherry tree is fit to burst this year. I think it's knows that this year may be it's last (unfortunately it's home has been marked as where the garage will be). 

    I'm already trying to work out whether I can squeeze in another cherry tree to replace it once the works are done.

    (I've still not decided on the pond by the way!)

    Good morning all image

    I'm here on the sofa with books, phone, etc and a bowl of muesli and yoghurt.  

    DD ... I'd woken up early and thought I'd peek out of the window to see if the muntjac was about ... then of course I was wide awake so just thought I'd look and see who else was awake ... don't worry, I went back to sleep and didn't wake again until 6.30 when OH's alarm went off.  

    Clari ... I'd surround that pond with a large bed of grasses, and low growing leafy perennials that will provide lots of cover for frogs to sit near the pond and contemplate the meaning of life ... that's what ours do.

    Morning Joyce image  It's improving thanks ... I can hobble about without the zimmer, as long as I've got my big black boot on.

    Morning all. 

    Half decent sleep last night, at last. 

    Can't help feeling for those who have to " retrieve" bodies and for those who have to identify them. Grim beyond measure. So many asleep on those upper floors. Hideous .

    My father used to fit sprinklers, including QE2 and Royal Yacht and I can't help thinking that more buildings should have them fitted. A sodden flat, supermarket, hotel room etc is better than charred corpses.

    Hi all.

    Still not feeling much like talking.

    Hope all are well.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
