    A quick visit, my internet went bum up Xmas Eve and is still duff, they're working on it but mean time I'm burning up my mobile phone data on.  Congratulations on the toms making it

    Tried and failed to post w pic, struggling to use with the mobile, so see you once normality returns

    Hope the interweb comes back for you soon, Farway.  :) We're only a few Shreddies and A Weetabix short of full fibre now, apparently. The guys have been down holes (full of water!) for months now. No one was able to say exactly how it would eventually reach our house, though.  :*
    In other news, I looked, and we do have daisies; lots of them. We also have rosemary blooming, but I seem to remember, that one does in the winter.
    No Boxing Day walk.  :(  T'was too grim and grey. Sunshine tomorrow, and warmer.   :)  Alas, I'm in Specsavers!  B)
    Did you cut the lawn 2p?
    PS If you want to see  the creature in the photo, you'll probably need to open it full size.   ;)

    Yes I got into warm layers to cut the lawn, darn difficult on one leg, and deweeded the path and other parts that have been annoying me.
    So for a while I can drive up to a house that looks cared for which I hope makes up for the pain.

    Now I'm in need of care and about to get into a bath lavender oil, whale music, then feet up and hope that cures it.

    And here's today's find 😊

    I'd send you a link to make you laugh about it but ..........
