    1. peace perfect peace. Home alone at times today. Total bliss
    2. Got a time to view possible new workspace next week
    3. DS1 cooked tea and DS2 cleared up. Mostly.
    4. Starting to look like I might get to plant out the lettuce jungle before it bolts. So sunny in the conservatory, so cold outside until the last few days
    5. Found I can sing the tune I'm supposed to be singing on Sunday without too much problem.

    What a weird selection. Ah well.

    That's wonderful Kittikins, the very least you deserve. Everything x'ed for you :)

    ampersand enjoy your jaunt across the ditch, sounds like you've prepared for a siege - which in fact will be this side of the water I think. No media allowed in my house tomorrow.
    Sweet dreams :)

    No media in mine either.
    Red is one of 'my' colours (green is the other, my eyes are green) so I will be head to foot in red tomorrow. Sadly my boots with red panels in are so uncomfortable, but I own red socks. Will have to substitute pink bra tho.

    I'm avoiding much of the media today too and wearing a red shirt I have found, just my little protest even if I only know why. Think I'll be out when it happens too. If I wasn't originally planning to be I will now...

    Goood morning all !

    CCP sorry to hear about you health issues.

    kittikins - wow good news !

    none yesterday as lost the diamond out of my engagement ring . Not happy - yes it cost more than a decent horse, and can be replaced but it's the sentiment and all that :( Feel naked without it as I have the ring which looks like an empty eye socket !

    Today WILL be better !

    still like reading your posts.
    :AToo fat to be Felicity Kendal , but aim for a bit more of the good life :A
  • & While yous is in France, could you pop into Paris. I left my leather jacket there in 1984. The hotel needs paying as well. Was a nice train journey home.
