Less I can adjust the photo sizes on my laptop. Click for a frame and drag. Just make sure it's not select and delete. That's the trick 😊

I've tried that following earlier suggestion by Dusty, but it just seems to distort the photo if I get it small enough to be visible in one screens-worth...and off to one side, which offends my sense of symmetry   However, have had suggestion from (semi)techy DS (well, younger than me, so amounts to same thing!) of an app which might do the trick, so will experiment again!

Hoghouses look v swish! Amazed by folks attempting to (and succeeding in) mowing lawns at this time of year, think mine would just look (more) like a speedway track or similar if I attempted same...

Ha! Haha Dusty. That's a nice place for your rogue cat to sleep 😄 

With the nest area stuffed with leaves etc, there won't be a cat-friendly bed inside. Anyway, Houdini cat has gone home now the owner is back.

I prefer the first in my face tree Less, it's fine on my desktop

I like it better, too.  Here, I do my best to avoid the wires, or edit them out. We hardly notice them, and they go by a fairly unobtrusive route, but given a choice, I'd still sacrifice the £40 a year we receive for having them. 

OT: It's definitely the greyest morning so far, and with rain predicted all day, I doubt things will change much. Like 2p, we have to play catch-up now to ensure Christmas happens on time. 

Yesterday it was reasonably fine outdoors when we searched for the perfect tree. We're still finding them at a place abut 8 miles away, where the plantation was neglected. Lower branches have been removed for access and re-planting, so the trees are on very long stems! 

Of course, some are too far gone, unless one is needed for a town square or similar!  It 'only' took an hour to find the right one.

Grey and dull here as well, with rain on the way, though not as much as some from the forecast

Not much to report, no gardening today, again, leg is OKish, but now I have a feeling I'm on course for lurgy, sneezing & coughing this morning. 

I may have a bash at my conservatory, the African Violets need sorting, dead leaves etc. And get the larger pot out ready fro the apple tree replanting at some ime

Yup, very grey, dark and wet but brightened up somewhat now.
Even the seagulls were quiet it was so dull.

I had a nice surprise this morning opening the curtains and seeing a garden looking like one 🙂 so it was worth it.

Had a home grown tomato with each supper so far. From the fridge not the garden. Was trying for one at Christmas but don't think they are going to make it. The wet is rotting them.

Not me getting ready for the season Dusty. For 2 weeks everything social stops. I am bombarded by over cheery songs. Why are there no new ones. Maybe Farway can use AI to come up with one and make his fortune. Next Christmas in the Seychelles 😄
It's grimmer this year than before so I'm hoping to just sail through it and come out sane on the other side.
