Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals
And jolly good company...
WELCOME 
Belated birthday greetings to both of the birthday girls! Finally reached the end of our flower festival and harvest and I think we did pretty well. I did two of these arrangements in the porch, which I was pleased with.
Like lots of you, I need to get in the garden this week and clear the plants and shrubs killed by the drought and replant. I bought a number of plants from the plant stall I was running. You might say it was poacher turned gamekeeper! Bulbs to go in too.
? sleep tight everyone.
Barmeyoldbat Good to hear that you are beginning to feel better. Your holiday in Croyde Bay couldn't have come at a better time.
Blossoming I am concerned to hear that you continue to be feeling well below par.
Urms Mr Soop enjoyed an M&S curry last evening. He would have loved to have been able to pop across the road for the real thing.
It is evident that the fourth portrait of Angus has failed. Am about to sketch the fifth. If this doesn't do him justice, I may need to visit him in person and take my own photograph. Mr Soop has such confidence in me. If he had not, I would throw in the towel and feel very sorry for myself.
It's farewell for today. Tomorrow is another day. Hope springs eternal. 
Back home after cat sitting, all good a nice cat fix!but nice to be home now for a while.
Another day Soop,all will be fine.
Hope your feeling better Blossoming?
My DIL has a new horse she is very happy.It’s good for her at the moment although her Dad is now in a lovely home and very well cared for.Horse is named Curly!!Will go and visit him tomorrow.
Have a good evening everyone.
‘Evening All’
I’ve had a gloriously lazy day. No calls on my time whatsoever! I’ve ditched Dixon tonight to show you this.
I decided to rewatch one of my favourite DVDs. “No Country for Old Men”. I read the blurb on the back and was surprised to read the film was from a novel written by Cormac McCarthy - great writer who wrote ‘The Road’. (sorry I’m wittering).
Anyway blow me if as I was watching, Tommy Lee Jones suddenly reminded me of Andy Burnham our Mayor of Manchester! I was so struck by the resemblance I froze the screen & took a photo on my iPad (technology eh, no flies on me) to show Himself. Do you see the similarity?
?
Early good afternoon greetings to you lovely lot.
Urms I also thought the photo was of Andy Burham.
brook I have just this minute applied the first wash. PLEASE send positive vibes in my direction. I need to complete this portrait and to feel that I have done justice to Angus.
Grandmabatty You are a very good grandma. Your daughter must appreciate your support. Best wishes to your son-in-law.
Jax It remains blowy and chilly in bonnie Kintyre. I am therefore hoping to do a pile of ironing (how many folk live in this house?) and also do a series of washes on the pet portrait. This really is my final attempt. 
Blossoming Continue to take things at an easy pace. Us lot want you to feel up to riding your bike. Porridge for my brunch too. I shall scatter a handful of blueberries and a large dollop of Greek yogurt on mine.
Ladyleftfieldlover I am intrigued. Can you share a photo of the Italian socks, please?
Yia Handsome Curly will be included in our "pampered pet gallery".
Back to the ironing board. Thereafter, the drawing board.
Good afternoon dear Kitcheners. Another nausea-free night allowed me a decent amount of sleep. I’ve had my porridge and I am resting and being good 
. It’s my sister’s birthday tomorrow, we are going to see her on Sunday so I need to be well enough for that. I have already sent a card and present which have been delivered today. I’m booked in for my Covid and ‘flu vaccines on Saturday, fingers crossed no side effects!
NannyTopsy hope you’re enjoying your cuddles.
Two pastels of autumn fruit. The pear has sold in an online exhibition in aid of Parkinson's. I just finished the apple today. It is such a fun class but I'm tired now. I tidied up the house this morning so a lazy afternoon for me. Showers and rainbows and a cold wind out. Tea and banana bread in. Have a good afternoon kitcheners.
Here are the Italian socks. They are soft and cosy. They haven’t got them in my local Waitrose but the branch near the holiday barn is enormous.

It’s gone cold out but it’s warm in our apartment. Mind you the oven’s on with baked potatoes and chicken thighs. Himself will be cold. He’s on a field having taken the Boy Wonder to football training! Watching is colder than participating so he’s got layers on and his ‘big thick coat’. It’s Baltic tonight according to the forecast. Anyway he’ll be home snug in half an hour!
GG13 I hate heights and was never brave enough to go up in the cable cars. Himself has been a couple of times with the Boy Wonder. We can walk to Tivoli World from our little place! ?
