Good Evening Chewsday.

Winter weather here, Rufus, at least yesterday when we had rain and cold winds. Today has been sunnier apart from a hail storm about 10 minutes ago, so no BBQs in this neck of the woods just yet.
I realised I left the greenhouse door open yesterday but I think the seedlings have survived.

I'm sorry you haven't had your vaccine yet, what is keeping them? It would be better to get on with that and allow more freedom of movement.

I hope all goes well with the arrival of your DGGS - as for names, Rufus is quite popular here, our friends' DGS is Rufus.

We had rain yesterday and this morning, but it’s looking fine for the rest of the week. Our vaccine queue is indoors and very fast moving, it has been quite impressive. It’s about time we did something impressive.
Gosh, a great grandson! We’re only on grandchildren, I must be very young!
I’m off for a walk round the grounds, er, garden, to see what, if anything, is growing after the recent rain.

Good to have my first meal at a restaurant for over a year. Outside for now. We did get a bit wet but worth it to see my family. My GS was 18 last month and has added another 2 inches to his 6ft 1" since I last saw him. He towers over me now.

Hope you get your jab soon Rufus.

...apparently we’re getting snow tomorrow.

Rainy here in Scotland but I’m hoping it eases up a bit! Just taken a break from a mildly productive day for tea, biscuits and a dead Robin kindly provided by my cat.

Hip op on 27th July. We're squeezing in these long weekends before then. Going North, West and South. Not far enough South for Cornish Pasties though.
Bacon, egg(s) sausage and mushrooms! Can hardly wait.

looking forward to hotel breakfasts (and lunches and dinners and teas and scones
Aveline Have you had your Hip OP??
I guess not if you are still looking forward to binge breakfasts..
No doubt you'll also enjoy toasted you-know-what with those breakfasts, or maybe not if you're convalescing on the Cornish Riviera!
Pasties forever!
Good Health and Good Luck!

Hi Rufus2 it's freezing here. There is snow forecast. Ridiculous. That'll teach me not to put my winter fleeces away.
We had our second vaccinations last Friday. Got the Pfizer one so expected side effects but nothing doing. Not sure whether to be glad or worry if they've had any effect.
In brighter news we've booked some long weekends away before I'm back in 'lockdown' recovering from hip replacement op. As I've been on a strict diet to get rid of excess flab before op I'm really looking forward to hotel breakfasts (and lunches and dinners and teas and scones...)

Hi Rufus, outdoor bbq’s, certainly later in the day are a bit scuppered by the unseasonable cold, last evening heavy rain and high winds. From May 17 indoor hospitality is allowed, that means our local opens ?, rule of 6 outdoors scrapped, a % of fans allowed at venues and possibly holidays abroad. The holidays bit is the stickler.
Gave up watching the end of the snooker, bed was calling. City have their second leg v PSG tonight, Sky is showing Luton Town v Rotherham...
The greenhouse seedlings are coming along, slowly, nature takes her own time. 17th also means family/ friends indoors and we can, at last, hug ❤️ I’m expecting ‘babysitting’ requests to appear rapidly, GC’s are 13 and 8, so not babies.
Anyway, pleased, as always to hear from you.
Take care ?
