Morning Mick, morning All. It looks dry in our corner of Somerset, cloudy this morning. A catch up day for me. Admin this morning and I’ll finally get to weighing out the Christmas cake ingredients this afternoon. I’m hoping Mr C will remove what seems to be half a beach from the car. Not his favourite task though. Take care everyone, stay safe. Hope Saturday is kind to all.

Good morning Mick and everyone. The weather for the Maltese Islands is partly cloudy and it looks like next week might bring some much needed rain.

Mick, I haven’t been able to find any poppies for sale either.

Had a lovely day yesterday, did a lot of walking then watched some tennis from Paris. Decided I was going to be cheerful and it worked!

Not planning to venture out today so shall do a bit of laundry and housework, then settle down to watch the tennis at 2pm.

Hoping you all have the best day you can. I know it can be a struggle. ☀️

Good morning. Another bright dry day in E Kent.
Yesterday, I followed my usual curiosity in finding out the etymology of words. Shampoo was the target. To my astonishment it comes from a Hindi/Sanskrit word meaning massage, flatten. More interesting was that “chapati” has the same root! Fancy that,
I had a sudden urge to make a lemon drizzle cake to DH’s delight. I haven’t been baking much as there didn’t seem to be a point.
I wanted sauerkraut for dinner last night but our jar had a bbe of 2017. DH refused point blank to consider eating it. I would have gone ahead. After all, it was sealed and it IS a preserved food. So no sauerkraut for us.
I hope that those in distress or pain have a gentle day. Stay safe.

Good Morning everyone. Dry and very dark outside on Severnside.

I wrapped up my potted olive tree yesterday. It’s too heavy for me to move to the greenhouse.
Today I’m going to swop over to a higher tog quilt and put up winter curtains in the dining room. Should be a reasonable day so hope to get out in the fresh air and do something in the garden.

Have a good day all and stay safe ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its dry and looks cold outside .
A day where I will try locally and get a few booklets of Xmas stamps.
Yesterday , having been unable to obtain a poppy , I did hear a news item as to the Royal British Legion website , where you can purchase a poppy for a donation that way , as there seem to be very few places where you have trays .
Under normal circumstances , I have gone to Bicester and the local RBL branch have had a stall in the main pedestrianised area, and stall in Sainsburys .
Quiet day , fry up for a change breakfast wise , Cycling on from late morning .
Take Care,
Mick
