    Mr MWC slept/was unconscious for 12 hours but no hangover this morning :T
    In fact, he's already been grocery shopping :T:T

  • Beautiful pics MWC - thanks, as always, for sharing them :D I know you were in NY, but those pics have brought back happy MI/WI memories for me - thank you :D

    Hope Mr MWC has happy memories of the day, and no headache :D Is he going to be taking in any of the action of the autumn internationals? Actually, I think Scotland matches may get some coverage by the BBC, I'll have to check that.

    Love to 'the girls'.

    Mr MWC will be watching the rugby from the comfort of the sofa but he has managed to get tickets for a couple of World Cup matches :cool:

    Ooops! I read Newark and 'assumed' you'd been in the state - MY BAD, sorry :o Still glorious pics though :D And I don't think that we every match the 'glow' of that orange, that red and that yellow in our trees - even where the species are the same/similar. Marvellous :D

    And it shows how befuddled I am - as Newark is in NJ! Tsk - orf to brush up me Geography skills! :rotfl:

    Eggs IN 4
    Eggs OUT 6 (1 box given to my hairdresser)

    Another spendy day today so tonight I will be reviewing all my recent clothes purchases and deciding what I really need to keep and what can go back for a refund!

    I was measured for a new bra - down 2 back sizes, up 2 cup sizes since the summer :eek:
