    sorry to read about the party wall issues. Builders create problems and then leave the house owner to repair relationships with neighbours.

    Feeling hormonal and tired and ugh today but determined to keep up a modicum of positive attitude

    Waited in for collection of broken fairy lights. This is after waiting in yesterday and chap not being able to take it as amazon had not relayed to royal mail that they were meant to be bringing the label. They have not as yet arrived...

    I love Chinese Lantern plants. In fact I've just bought a couple of sprays of fake ones to make an autumnal display in a vase.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪
