DEAR nanachrissy...wear a smile when you meet your good friends. Relax and enjoy their companionship. Hope that some sunshine lifts your spirits. xx

Hope you feel better after your lunch nanachrissy. There's nothing like putting the world to rights with good friends over a meal sunshine

nanachrissy Sat 19-May-12 17:25:29

Thanks girls, my friends were great but lunch was a bit disappointing. You know when somewhere is really good, and then it gets very popular and portions go smaller and standards drop slightly? That's what has happened, so when I got home I was still hungry! Hey ho!
Feeling more cheerful though! smile

nannachrissy You've been cheered. That's a bonus. flowers

............ quietly entering with a glass of chilled white wine, after a walk around the garden. Late sunshine, long shadows and drunk bees kept me company.
It's been a day of hassle so I am pleased to be here, and a very good place it is, too. smile
Anyone want to join me for a bit of gentle chit-chat?

Anagram Wed 13-Jun-12 19:15:00

How lovely butter - we haven't been here for ages! smile
It's been raining here all day, but now the clouds have parted and we have a bit of weak sunshine, just in time for the birds to flit around finding their supper.

Butternut Wed 13-Jun-12 19:19:37

I love a spot of evening sunshine, nag - birds do, too.

They're quieter than this morning, when J. commented that the sparrows who live in a big bush just below our bedroom window, needed an asbo, they were so rowdy!

jeni Wed 13-Jun-12 19:20:01

I've been working yesterday, today and again tomorrow! I need a few gentle moments?
I just trust that dogs are not allowed.

Butternut Wed 13-Jun-12 19:23:14

Hi, I'd been wondering where you were jeni and hoping all was ok. Coming back from hols. can sometimes be a bit of a bump.

No, absolutely no dogs this evening. smile

jeni Wed 13-Jun-12 19:24:04

Talking about birds, the two blackbirds in my garden wake the other birds (and me) at 4.30 every morning with their competition as to who can make the most noise!

Anagram Wed 13-Jun-12 19:27:45

Collared doves are a bit of a problem in our garden - 5.00 a.m. their monotonous hooting starts - must get some decent earplugs!

jeni Wed 13-Jun-12 19:31:21

I seem to have strained my right wrist and have problems with my oa fingers as well. So I won't be posting much for a bit until its settled!

But I'm still watching!

SO BEWAREgrin

Butternut Wed 13-Jun-12 19:31:35

...the thing is, my sparrows just squabble all the time, whereas blackbirds are supposed to be the singers...... hmm

The weeds I saw this evening in the veg. patch were outrageous and I haven't the energy to tackle them yet - so I'm here instead..........missing family and folk.

Nice company.

Butternut Wed 13-Jun-12 19:35:27

Hope your fingers/wrist heal soon. RSI/GN problem??? grin

jeni Wed 13-Jun-12 19:35:57

Yes!
