    It did. I've just no desire to read it. It's a phone - it rings, I pick it up and say "hello". That's all I need to know.

    But you also need an answer to Bettygate!

    I took the shears out, round the base of the shed, to keep the grass there super-short.... and ended up using the pointy bit of one half of the shears to dig out a dozen or so weeds from the lawn.

    Gardening like a pro!

    Patio's looking naked without the big table, as I put it away ..... not getting it out again, it's big and impractical to start carting in/out the shed just because the sun's out/not. I'd rather go without for a week of good weather, than wake up to find it wet and in the rain and for it to then rain for two weeks while I stared at it and thought "wish I'd put you in the shed while it was still dry"

    We leave ours out rain and shine, all year round.

    Well I didn't hear anything about the job today, but that doesn't matter much.

    I did get some better news...after a horrid miscarriage and subsequent surgery during the week we exchanged on the house and spending most of the last 12 weeks with OH in pieces every 5 minutes as she was convinced she was miscarrying again (for pretty good reason), we had our 12 week scan today.

    Everything is fine, lowest possible statistical risk of downs and it all looks good and this is obviously all down to the NP good vibes. Just stuffed myself with pie and chips to celebrate.


    wow wow wow.....and 241 as well.


    Sending big congrats from FC Land.


    ....don't know if anyone else found the same but we never knew how much 'free time' we used to have until we 'lost' it. But it never felt like we had any pre children.


    I remember saying to myself that when it came back I would use it wisely.....and about 23 - 24 years later I kept that my promise to myself.

    I've been waking randomly, in the middle of the night (say 3.30-4ish?) this week - and been wondering why ... wondering if I'd "heard a noise" in my sleep or what.... it was all a bit spooky really...

    A different sort of "waking up in the night" to the regular sort.

    So it wasn't just me this week then!

    If you will believe, I am told that it is the effect of the full moon, and a particularly close one at that.

    We are made of water. It's my hippy friend that tells
    me but lots at our our business meeting of minds have been suffering this week.
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    As well as being made of water, the full and large moon will mean it's lighter overnight. I'm sure the water is the dominant effect though.

    I'm home alone for just over 24 hours. Feels a bit odd!

    I want it to last as long as possible. Won't be buying another, ever. This one (free) allegedly cost £400 - but it's already a little shakey.

    I'm in the study of the hotel room.

    The Generalissimos are zedding. I have a glass of red and a packet of shortbread biccies on hand. And the More or Less podcast on in the background. Marvellous.

    I've always been grateful to have an en-suite and a small kettle!
    Posh alert :)

    Will letting the joints dry out make it less shakey or more? It's an interesting experiment, and do report back please.
