ccp-I'm Big Weather fan too.

1. mhags alert[apart from Saturday scone and sharing Lost Post Rictus Snarl] - just took series of pics of little oil vessel with same colour peonies in b/g. Playing at arty-farty, but a happy and apt reminder of yesterday. Lucky my peonies are still holding, just. Better this year than the last several, when the wind wrecked blooms on 1st day.

2. Friend's op. moved>27/6 at v.last minute, with daughter in skies from Portugal for a month. Furious isn't something she does, but in this case... esp.as woman at Reception insisted 'Oh, we rang you yesterday to say Mr X's taking some days in lieu and you said it was fine' and continued to insist on this! Daughters took matters in hand and arranged, in 10 minutes flat, for Appleby Horse Fair short break ensemble until Tuesday.

3. Surgery took me as extra appt this morning, for which I was truly grateful. Amoxycillin rides in - hoping for normal breathing, rtn of smell and taste asap. It's been scary a few times since Saturday. Hence, the other side of our NHS.

4. Decent visit with long-hauler. Home stretch now.

5. Local handicapped youngsters' nursery stall on village green...more plants? Course not, she fibs. So, antirrhinums in, with some snapped stems in vase on sill. Need I say I bought the tray that one young chap was upset to have dropped?

6.Hope to itv-catch up on Rafa beating Djoko shortly. As I left no.4 this afternoon, they were 7 all, then a few miles on[it's a long single track road]I heard Rafa had won through. I am ecstatic.

7. Quite a line-up of hunting&gathering this w/e. It's my work, after all. On verra....
############
& calling chicken.........I've joined the queue. Hoping you're fine and we're fretting needlessly.
jackieO - my book was outside, but didn't get read. Welcome! With lfs, two more excellent new companions on this Thread.
Oooooh! - new pen, lfs. Another deep acquisitive of mine...I'm ummasking a lot of gollum tendency ce soir.

Okay - separate p.s. or 8-y sort of no.5:
Was just leaving putah, looking down as I stood up and Aaagghhhh! omg cleavage moment as I saw worm? millipede?[HATE them with mhags' spider intensity]...pure horror... Flung down, examined warily, it is actually a rogue shred of red cabbage.

Good Night Boys And Girls.

Finally caught up again. Thank you for so many wonderful posts, welcome newbies.

1. A weight lifted. My front door has been a nightmare to lock since it was fitted, 18 months ago. Since last weekend it was warped and unable to lock at all, argh! It was a full inch out of line on the lower locks.
I was so worried that firm that fitted it would point the finger at me and declare it beyond repair.

Guys came out today, twiddled screws on hinges, the door was magically back in line.
Then WD40 was squirted and the advice given to always lift the latch to drop all the levers into place whenever the door was shut. None of this was done on the first fitting - which was done by guys who have now left the company.
So now I have a very expensive door that not only looks good but that locks and shuts easily. Finally. 18 months late.

2. Was able to help a friend out as fitters arrived fairly early. Whilst there, friend asked me to look at a little purse of their late mother's -did I think it suitable for a tombola?
On investigating purse, found £20 in a compartment, hidden away by late Mum - what a pleasure to hand that over!

3. DS decluttered corner of dining room of boxes and garden alcove of junk for me.

4. Cycling in the sun, this never, never, never ceases to be a pleasure.

5. Wearing a lovely fine-knit, 3/4 sleeve top that a friend had passed on, unloved. So comfortable to wear.

6. Warmer weather has dampened a recent ravenous appetite. Phew.

Another wonderful laugh. This was my other, posted on FB by Kevin Joslin, the creator of Terry Wogan's 'Janet and John.'

A man walks into a bra...

I have noticed a disturbing trend recently when surfing the net. This is best illustrated by the following definitions:

Brasserie: an informal restaurant, much favoured by people who wear a lot of corduroy and name their 2.4 children Hatshepsut, Philbert and Alg...

Brassiere: an infernal device used to constrain the thoracic appendages of ladies of the female gender. They are available in a wide range of sizes and colours and - though no expert on the matter - I believe the same is true of bras.

You would have thought that there would be very little confusion between the two (other than the observation that both are often full of t**s), but as can clearly be seen from the following, the distinction has been lost on these (and many other) people:

The Central Wine Bar: http://www.centralwinebar.com/
Stonegate Yard Bar & Brassiere http://www.visityork.org/York-Stonegate-Yard-Bar-Brassiere/details/?dms=13&venue=1505922
Browns Hotel, Restaurant, Brassiere & Wine Bar: http://www.brownsdevon.com/food-drink/food-drink
Motcombs: http://www.motcombs.co.uk/bar.php

The question that will spring to mind (apart from the one about what I was searching for when I observed this phenomenon), is - as Jonathan Swift so succinctly put it, '!!!!!!?'

If you are going to spend thousands of pounds fitting out an expensive eatery, why would you have your proof-reading done by someone with the intellect of a Guinea-fowl?

Apologies continue, as I over-indulge here -
mcculloch, they are splendid and I'll now 'fess the last for ce soir. Friend whose op. is postponed was speaking to me from Waitrose, en rte>Appleby when I caught up today.
'That's uncanny' she said. 'C'[daughter]' has just said, I see &'s been in recently'.
Quoi??? 'Yes, she's just showing me now where someone has corrected refridgeration with a 'See Me After School'-type note alongside' It LOOKS like you.....' And I remember, I DID do this the other day. So un-Waitrose, 'refrigeration' with a 'd' indeed!

1. Sunshine Thought it was going to rain for a while but thank goodness it held off - not least because I had 2 loads of washing on the line!!

2. DD's new school called to invite her to a settling in morning next month - she's excited, I'm going to have to work out timings, but will make it work.

3. She slept in my bed last night and it did us both the power of good. I woke up feeling less grotty and more able to cope with the day, despite still coughing and spluttering quite a bit.

4. My Uni reading list came through - well it's a half-list and there's a lot less on there than I was anticipating, given the moaning people in the FB group have been doing

5. Popped over to see my chum G and her children and ended up staying and cooking us all dinner - very delicious, even if I say so myself!

6. DD is off at a sleepover, night 1 of 2! Missing her already but happy that I can get up and go off and do my language course tomorrow without any problems.
