Good Morning everyone from sunny and hot.....and not a little crazy S of France.
Have a very Happy Birthday, ? Nannyjan ?
You should be proud Mellow Treasures like that are for life, as so many talented posters know.
Feel better, please, Hazbeen and Nortsat.
Blimey, Lins you’ve started something! I won’t say “don’t leave” - you might really want a break and at least you warned us. But I’m echoing everyone, I think, by saying that nothing anyone posts is unwelcome, dull or banal. It makes up a huge patchwork of daily doings in life - the ups and downs, the joy and the panics which we want to share and which, I feel, glues us together here.
For me, there’s not a single soul who shares these Good Mornings that I wouldn’t want to have a cuppa and a damn good “blether” with and I think that counts for so much now when we are ALL struggling in some way to make sense of our lives.
Maybe I’ve just explained why I ramble on in my posts - it’s because I’m so pleased to ‘see’ everyone each day.....it’s one of the few good bits in my (often dispiriting) new normal ?.
I think I’ve just made myself sound like my dogs!
This is such a lovely thread. Long may it flourish and encourage new posters as well as lurking admirers. And, in the shitstorm which is 2020, we need It and each other more than ever. ❤️
In other news.....we finally got our forecast torrential rain at 6.30pm. Fortunately, because I actually obeyed the warning, there was nothing outside to suffer from such a violent rainstorm. Dry at 11pm, dogs went out, cats kept in. Goodnight all!
3am? We are almost blown out of bed by thunder so loud and sudden and constant that conversation, for an hour, was shouted. That rain smashing against the shutters, would have hurt. The angry storm which had lurked all day in the Cévennes, had rolled to the coast and decided to treat all us sleeping fools with a noise and light show I’ve not heard for years.
Today, did we imagine that? Perky plants, gentle breeze, animals lying in the sun and a spotless terrace and courtyard. No damage, but I expect there will have been problems inland.
Wishing you all, rather late, the best day, the best mood and only good things.
