    It's here, I see a pink flower?

    Yes, Mar, it's a pink waterlilly. It is not showing when I look at the thread.... oh well, never mind.

    No rain or thunder here in Cheshire (yet?)

    Very cloudy though. Was the moon really red??

    Have just spent an hour drafting a letter for my mum, while DH drafted something for his parents! Perhaps we could set up as personal assistants? It is a while since i had to write a serious letter and i enjoyed playing with the words to get the points across. Have done my research and know the audience, so hope to have hit the right notes!

    Haven't checked the secret fence (oh, we can have a secret garden inside it!), but hope Kittie is OK and has joined in.
    I have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance. :grin:

    And of course my dear son persuaded me to give him a lift to the pub in the next village. Did I mention my baby was 20 last week?

    nargle and csarina, now you two, make sure that you both take advantage of being on your own tonight and try to get a good sleep. I know it's difficult but you are both going to need all your energy when the patients come home, so try to stock up while you have the chance. Ive got really long arms and they can easily stretch to wrap them round you both in an enormous hug.

    MMF I can see your lovely pink waterlily. Very pretty.

    Well, the thunder rumbles and slight splattering of rain was all we got here. I'm hoping for more rain tonight. I'm trying to leave the fan off tonight, it does disturb my beauty sleep and I really can't spare any of that. Not unless the ancient crone look suddenly becomes fashionable.

    Good night (hopefully) x

    Lamewolf, maybe Indi was just trying to take care of it for you, so you didn't have to?

    Csarina, sending hugs, hope he's ok.

    Monna, no dancing naked in it ok? I did that once here after a dry spell. To be fair, it was night and very dark, but the initial "yay" wore off quickly and a chilly embarrassment kicked in.

    Nargle, sending love and hugs xx
