    Good Morning everyone although the weather is far from good here today it's grey. cold and wet and poor old He Who Knows is out with the Cookie monster, he'll need a hot coffee to warm him up when he gets back"

    Sad to hear that Sir Terry Wogan has died, he's given more pleasure to more people than many do and will be sadly missed, his cheery voice always made me smile!

    Cooking is mostly what's on the agenda for today and watching the rugby T14 match this afternoon between Toulon and Stadt Francais which should be a good one. DD2 has hubbys parents down for the day to see Zebra near his birthday and DD1 has a full day in at school for D of E training with the Bronze kids, teachers certainly earn their cash don't they? She was in most of yesterday morning interviewing for scholarships too and the afternoon was marking and planning, it's not the perceived 9 to 3.30 life that folks think it is!!!

    Have yourselves a good day and stay dry and warm and batten down any hatches still left unbattened before Henry arrives tomorrow, Lyn xxx.

    A poor little drownded rattie has just dripped in the front door, towels, sympathy, dry clothes and hot coffee supplied, now on sofa with the paper trying to warm up, Awwwww!!!

    Mr LW is sitting here reminiscing about his childhood. No idea why. But it's good to have him here to chat to at the weekends.:o

    All our weekend tasks are done; thankfully the Princesses are completely unfazed by the vacuum cleaner, so I was able to do that yesterday.

    Our dins tonight will be our usual Sunday fare of veggie toad-in-the-hole.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
