............to create a quiet corner.

nag, the collared doves are very busy in my garden, swooping past my windows and fluttering through the trees. They could be feeding chicks. They start the day around 4.30 on my neighbour's TV aerial and the woodpigeons join the chorus on her roof.

Noisy, aren't they?

Very - and tiresome!

Bit of a blip in the 'who's cooking supper this evening' scenario. Had a long chat with J. about it this morning re. cooling one recipe from an Italian cook book we were were given at Christmas, once a week. He clearly offered............and then forgot. I've just reminded him.......

...think I'll just chill out here a bit longer then give him a hand...

Hi there. I spotted bumble bees mating on the columbine this afternoon! A rare event.
Nice warm sunny afternoon here in MK. Phew, this is what June can feel like.
If I waited for DH to cook it would be about 9.30 and I would have chewed off his leg. Or at least his calf. Whole leg would be a challenge.
He just emerged from the utility room, surprisingly clad in my old towelling robe that is on the way to being rags and was consigned to that anteroom. Quite an entrance. Just been putting sweaty cycling gear in washing machine I assume. Amazed it fitted as he would nearly make 2 of me!

You paint a lovely vision of your DH jess! Good to hear such lovely weather in MK - think we're in for a few good days - we've got the tents to dismantle tomorrow and that is the last of the big W. clear-up thankfully.

What a picture, Jess!

Horrid gloomy day here in Cheshire. Not quite raining - not yet anyway. I've had the light on all day. Grrrr.

Yes, I gasped! First time EVER that i saw him wearing something belonging to me.

...and it sounded so fetching, too!

Anno - - Hope you get some sunshine soon.

jessm
I'm glad to hear it! When his manboobs require your bra!
Then worry

Ooops - J.'s hand slipped whilst adding the cheese to the risotto and tipped it all over the central full-on gas burner instead!
That's going to take some cleaning......
Still a tasty risotto though

Night all - thanks for the chat.

no boobs, he tends to get more womanly around the hips when he expands bless him. But no way could he get his prop-forward-type legs into my pants!

Night all!
Why?
Why not?

Night jeni sleep well

Night glass

I thought I'd open the window in here and let some fresh air in,so that we can sit down with a nice and or if you prefer, a large .
It seems a little fraught out there on the forum lately, so our quiet corner is here if needed.

Welcome all friends

Perhaps there's a post Olympic sadness hanging over us?

Ah , that's better, I'll have a large AND a large .Never do anything by halves!

Good morning Ella and Crimson, I may just join you for some time out before starting my packing ready for the trip home. I have been trying to keep up with recent threads, but to be quite honest, I am becoming more and more confused, nay flummoxed - nothing unusual there, some may say - so have given up trying. Tomorrow's another day ...........

Good morning Gally

Hi Gally.When are you heading back?

Hi Gally have a safe journey back

Yes, Ella some fresh air to blow the cobwebs away is just what is needed. I'll have a lovely cup of thanks!

Actually....do you think I could have just a small red too, please?
