    Morning all

    Just having my first cuppa of the day (much to the mogs disgust)

    Think I'll pop the towels on the line for a blow now as it looks like rain could come - they may get an hour.

    Soappie enjoy the view (is it inside or outside!)

    Not medical advise but for those of you prone to suffering depression have a look at some of the thread on Vitamin D, remember if you do not supplement then I think right now your levels are at their lowest for the year.

    Freedom - thanks for the orchid advise I am going to the garden centre next week so I will take a look then.

    Toots - thinking of you and hoping it goes well.

    I was just putting on my trainers to walk to the shop to buy loo paper :rolleyes: and it's started raining... so I need to decide whether to walk and get wet and miserable, or to drive, and go to the gym later.

    I think... if I get wet walking as far as the car... I'll drive!

    (((hugs))) for soappie - hope you survive the users. Twice in two weeks is a little excessive really... that level of exposure to them really is beyond the call of duty! Hope you enjoy your lunch.

    positivelypurple - hope things improve for you
