Sorry folks, still trying to figure out the photos, but please help yourselves

Look delicious Flo, don’t mind if I do!

A dull cool day today…when is the good weather going to show up?!! Had a trip to the big smoke this afternoon, really going downhill, sad to see. Glasgow used to be such a great city but I guess like a lot of places internet shopping is having a huge affect.

Anyhoo, hope you all had a lovely day. Off to bed early. Trying to find a new book to read on my Kindle as I’ve just finished my last one. Anyone got any recommendations? Like to read crime thrillers.

Enjoy the rest of your evening guys. x

I always think of you when I have my two mugs of tea in the morning!…you are so much more sophisticated than I am!
I don’t seem to wake up so early these days but it was always lovely having a quick natter over a brew first thing.

Your OH made me giggle gf!…fancy not even noticing

Sleep well peeps - see you in the morn!

Goodnight all.
It was my birthday today so my daughter brought me shopping.
We had a great day and came home with heavy bags and light purses.
Dinner tonight with other half.
Hope you all had a good day,

Happy birthday bramble, glad you enjoyed your day
Good evening not long in from my Gairdin Club where we had a talk about honey bees, both interesting and enjoyable, that's the club finished till September, now just to arrange speakers for the next session, now going to read for a wee while before going to bed, so I wish you all goodnight

[Jay22]

Happy Birthday bramble, glad to hear you had such a lovely day! x

I really enjoy Lee Child, particularly his earlier books.

Morning all.

Belated birthday greetings, bramble. Glad you had a lovely day with your daughter.

Another bright day here after another evening with the boar hoovering up acorns and the dogs barking their heads off. Going to have to do something to help them to chase it off tonight I think. It occurred to Mr Snoop that it could be a young female. And we definitely don't want a horde of boarlets and a defensive mum on the premises.

On the cards for today: first off, make chocolate and orange brioches for gifts for the people who took in our Ikea delivery yesterday (Mr Snoop to collect a bit later on), then some paid work, then some weeding and plant out my courgette plants, and then probably more paid work. Fingers crossed the courgette plants will be OK, as the forecast is for a chilly night or two next week, but there's only so long that they can stay in their modules.

I spotted the smiles heading off into the sunshine earlier. Hope they reach you on fine form.

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning

Sending you Belated birthday wishes Bramble xx

Hope you can sort out your Boar problem Snoop here's me thinking we have problems with cats and a few birds.

Today the GH temp has gone from 4c up to 25c it didn't take long for the auto vents to pop open.

Enjoy your day.

[Jay22]

Morning all, weather is fair to middling this morning. Was hoping to get laundry on the line but can’t decide if it’s going to rain or not.
Thanks for the book recommendation GF, I’ve never read any of Lee Child’s books as I just see Tom Cruise and I’m not a fan. I’ll maybe give them another bash though.
Enjoy your day folks, good luck with the boar Snoop, as Bren says we thought we had problems with pigeons and cats!!

[bramble]

Good morni g all and thank you for my birthday wishes.
A dull but bright morni g here and the laundry if out in the breeze,

Oh Snoop, that's worrying having a boar around your home.
Hope you manage to scare it away,

No plans for the day so it will be domestics and gardening.
Have a good day all.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Very sunny here and feels warm! Happy Birthday for yesterday bramble.
Have you read any Faith Martin jay? They're simple easy reading, depends how heavy you want I suppose.
I well remember our early morning chats Nicos, retirement means I can enjoy a later start to the day.
Have a good day All

Good afternoon all.

Belated birthday greetings for yesterday, Bramble.

Jay, I really am not a fan of the Jack Reacher films at all and Tom Cruise was so wrong. But Lee Child's early books were pretty much unputdownable for me. Having said this, my reading material as a child was pretty weird for a young girl. Straight from Enid Blighton's Famous Five and Adventure books to all Captain W.E. Johns "Biggles" books courtesy off my godfather's bookcase and then Alastair McLean, Frederick Forsythe etc.

This morning I've been sorting out some paperwork for my brother-in-law who is registered blind and need to also sort out some things at the doctor's surgery for him when it is quiet in there. I then popped into Sainsburys for some "bits and pieces". My trolley got hijacked yet again by goodies.

Next on the agenda is taking Mr GF for his Covid booster at a local rugby club. It's a shame that the bar won't be open for a swift half.

Afternoon n’alln’all

Nipped out early this morning- got the replacement shower mixer, bought 12 red geraniums * does a merry skip
And the rest of our grory hop.

Our local hardware shop has closed down ( we need a couple of things) but there’s a great stall at the market tomorrow morning - so we may well pop there. It’s all go here! Te he…I wonder what will ‘accidentally’ get bought ….

[Jungle Jane]
