What I did today.

- Hope all's done by now, Mamie and the Eparcyl sprinkled. (Do you use the 6 month pack - saves having to remember)

Early start as the man arrived with his tractor to empty the septic tank at ten past seven. Pitch dark, freezing and he had to reverse in through the gates. Hope the neighbours don't need to go out yet.
Getting a bit pongy too.....

My son has also grown a moustache for MOvember, Anno... he looks like a cross between Groucho Marx and Che Guevara! He was only persuaded to get rid of his last lot of facial hair in the summer, and here we are again. Hope it goes soon. Went to a local auction today. Bought a very nice silver scent flask to add to my collection of small silver. I actually went to buy a Spode teapot, but missed out on it (too many dealers there today). I have one, but it now has a faint crack in it and though it doesn't leak, I think it is only a matter of time.

Now dark and foggy - the end of the garden has vanished.

I'm glad I went out this morning to buy a birthday card for GS, 5 tomorrow - hope the post gets it there on time! And I bought a bright,cheerful poinsettia. Now it is very foggy out there which is unusual in this corner of Cheshire. Now very relieved that it's the end of MOvember, and DS can get rid of the very sinister moustache he has grown. I know it's a good cause, but he did look like Fu Manchu.

It has been a dreadful day here, heavy rain and so dark. DH and I had a TV day, catching up with all the programmes we haven't had time to watch.
Had I been going to Glasgow I would have travelled tonight, the roads are treacherous and I may not have made it.

Once I feel that it's a blatant attempt to advertise, I'm straight on the "report" button, but with other things, well, I tend to see how it pans out!

phoenix - all suspicions to be reported to HQ., but I suspect you are getting the same vibes I am.

kitty was that because you were staggering or was it due to impassable (why does that sound like Kennny Everett's Cupid Stunt) roads?

Trip trap phoenix!!

Today I took one hour to travel one mile down the road on my way to do my stint in Court.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think there may be another "new member". I know that we should all etc etc, but recent events have made me a bit cautious. Sorry if I'm wrong, but it's when people just jump in with a question rather than a sort of "hello" post.

in the other direction

I need my dinner.

Yes. Maybe.

If I'm not on here for some time, you'll know it went wrong in the direction.

Ah, the power and force that is Gransnet!

Perhaps Gransnet was too strong for it?

I found, and downloaded, a blocker site to keep me off GN and get some work done.

It now says I have l hour and 5 minutes left before I can post something.

I think the young man who invented it will have to go back to his drawing board.

Good for you glass. Your Mum will be a wizz surfer in no time!

She's right, y'know!

'uman nature Gally.

Waved off the gc's and DD1 this morning. I now have copious amounts of washing and cleaning to do, but oh how quiet it is without them. Alone again after over 3 weeks; thank goodness I have a day out with the 'girls' in Glasgow tomorrow to take my mind off it. Why is it you want peace when you're surrounded by people and want noise when you are alone - I always was a contrary person

I have just set up my 79yr old Mum up with broadband she has never used a computer I have left her wondering what hit her I bet the phone never stops!

Just looked out of the window and saw two pigeons in the pyracantha eating the berries. How can they do that without ripping themselves to shreds?

!!

I took off my glasses before going to brush my teeth, as I keep getting spatters on them.

This probably explains why I loaded my toothbrush with a significant amount of Savlon.

You were lucky crimson, bottled beer that has gone out of date can make you quite poorly.
