Mornin n’alln’all
Stupidly early but I’m wide awake
Not sure whether to get up and finish off ironing the bedding or just pick up my book. I suspect the reading will win!
There’s a vide grenier I want to go to this morning but apart from that I’ve a list of mostly domestic things I need to crack on with.
Might have a bbq later….
Enjoy your day peeps- kettle is on if anyone fancies a brew?"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Good morning all, cool and breezy but its dry
Off to the church shortly.
No plans for the day just yet.
Have a good day all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Good morning all.
It's rather chilly and very windy here. It keeps raining on and off too. I might not go further than the rubbish bins today.
I've just had a phone call from our old friend, the D-Day veteran, to tell us he's home and he's had a fantastic trip, including a chat to both the King and Princess Anne. He says the French people he met were really nice to him. He wants to go again in 5 years time.
I've just lit the oven and we'll get round to croissants and jam shortly😋.

Morning all.
A bit chilly here, and grey skies.
So sad you have lost your dog, Snoop. I'm sure he had a good life with you.
I can hear the teenage lad next door kicking a football against their fence. The sound when it hits is like a gunshot. As is the sound of the golf balls he slams at the fence. In the last two days I have acquired three footballs. One broke down broad beans, one a hardy geranium, and one my long spurred aquilegias. There is also one on his shed roof and one outside the fence. Two more and I shall have the full set, then I'll consider whether to return them. Our gardens are small, 20 feet by 25 feet, really not the place to be hammering a ball against a fence, and it won't be long before that fence loses its integrity and falls down.
Ah, he's stopped. Better go and check my garden for damage and balls

When I was at the vide grenier this morning we could hear loads of rooks ( I’m presuming they weren’t crows and deffo not jackdaws)…and we were laughing saying how noisy they were- then OH looked over a fence into someone’s potager only to notice that every single brassica that been stripped to its skeleton.
Oh dear- how frustrating is that? They were decent sized plants too"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Wow Rary. I must be so out of touch with reality. £4000 for a school trip. Dare I even ask what is educational about Malaysia??? Rubber?? I must be showing my age here.
Where do schools even get these ideas from??? Or is there a teacher's parallel universe out there? To be fair, looking at my niece... teacher, there probably is.(a different planet maybe).
