Good morning folks. Everything outside is covered with a thick blanket on fog. Can only hear a cow mooing, can't see it!
I'll be back after coffee.

Happy Saturday
Thanks for the start Gers
TA happy car booting - one of my favourite pastimes!
Scarlet - enjoy your friends
I've been awake for ages as usual though have been doing some admin instead of procrastinating. Just about to edit some photos I took yesterday.
Meeting an ex collegue for lunch, we only manage to meet once a year but she still works there so it's good to get the gossip.
I sometimes waffle too but I do enjoy reading everyone's contributions however small so please keep posting

Two hours later and the fog hasn't lifted yet, most odd.Yesterday was a quiet day. I sorted out a couple of nagging problems, one resolved and one on hold. My nephew arrived, box of beer and a curry in hand then we set about untangling his problem. We wittered on until almost midnight, covered a lot of rocky ground, cleared his mind then decided what he needs to do. Whether he remembers or not is yet to be seen. 😀 The evening was lovely, we FaceTimed his brother and family in Queensland and then failed to get a reply from the third brother in Seoul. Great family time.We'll probably breakfast out somewhere, if I can find it in the fog, then he'll head off. I hope that everyone has a sunny peace day.8

Morning All
Beautiful sunny morning here, I'll go for a swim then up to the allotment.
I started to cut the hedge last night but got too hot and tired to finish so I'll do it today. I always do next doors too so will have to ask them to move their cars later.
Washing was all done yesterday and put away, I now have a very thin quilt on the bed so it was much cooler thank goodness.
Pleased to hear you and your OH are on the mend Ruby.
Sounds like chaos TA but all good fun, I used to enjoy a wander around car boot sales but there aren't many round here.
It's always good to hear from you SO.
Hope the weather clears for you Gers.
Hope you all enjoy the sunshine if you have it and have a good weekend. Take care. XX9 -
Morning all, well the tap leaked yesterday but it won' get sorted till Tues now. I and Mr Fix It have been up all night as I have a painful red lump on my hand with shivering and vomiting, so I have just come back from out of hours surgery with anti-biotics and pain killers. DR thinks it's cellulitis. As it's my good hand my typing is going very slowly. I shall have some toast and go to bed, hopefully the pain will subside soo. Sorry the "woe is me" continues.
Hugs to the poorly ones, enjoy your day if you can.
nan xxFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently10 -
Morning all.
Dull day here.
Mr F is on the low fibre - no fruit/veg etc from today until Tuesday.
@Nan - please rest up - Cellulitis is rotten.
