Yesterday , I did Bicester on the bus ,and went to my usual cafe , only to have someone I used to work with over 20+ years ago at the MoD place , she recognised me but I could not place her , maybe meet again ?
Take Care,
Mick

Morning from a damp, cool Co Durham. I’m envious of those going to see ballets, how have I never seen one? No plans for today, but looking forward to meeting a good friend this evening, to drink wine and put the world to rights. Have the best day everyone.

Urms I love Swan Lake. It's my favourite ballet along with The Nutcracker. I'm a sucker for any ballet though. I'm a big fan of Sir Matthew Bourne and his company.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Hampshire.
Today I’m sorting photos of masses of snowdrops we saw yesterday.
I’m also trying to restore an old dolls’ house, that used to be mine, ready for my GD1 to play with.
Listening to Ken Bruce on his last show. Life moves on.

Yes listening to last Ken Bruce, so sad....... things won't be the same, will see how it is on Greatest Hits radio.

Good morning to all, well creeping in at 1155 so just good morning! Been good to read all your interesting messages. I wish I had stayed at home this morning. Had a rubbish night, eventually got up and slowly got myself sorted out to go out early for some things. Put the microwave on to do something and much buzzing and flashing of lights meant I had to hastily turn it off and tried it again but have to admit it is dud! So had to add looking for a new one to my list. Huh, first shop hadnt got what I wanted, another sold out of the bread I prefer, the cash machine was not working and so it went on and it was very cold out on my yellow peril but at least it did not actually rain. So feeling that it has been a rather wasted morning am now home and about to have some lunch and wash up and then will have to have another go at finding the things I need and realize how long I have had the old microwave as was of course shocked but the price rise! Ah well I am cheered by my wonderful narcissi , that greeted me with their lovely perfume and cheering view. Hurray it is March now and we can (hopefully) look forward to more light, more flowers and the chance to get out and about. Hope you all have a good afternoon (me included!)

gg last weekend I had similar, so covered the bottom of a tumbler with salt, filled with hot water, poured a bit into the palm of my hand and sniffed up right nostril, did again for the left nostril. Repeated morning and evening all week. Am now clear. Give it a go! No side effects.

Oh Taichinan To escape she turned and ran, knocked her little sister flat on her back, landed in top of her and the wave got them both!! Happy days thank you for the best giggle I’ve had in days!

Golly ‘tis flipping cold here on a hill in Wiltshire and it wasn’t any less chilly in town first thing. By the time I got home I was frozen.
Anyway, I have posh new specs so now I need to smarten up the rest of me!
I had the third rubbish night in a row, goodness knows why but it’s driving me mad - being awake from 3 or 4am doesn’t suit me at all.
Might try Nytol tonight I think.
I have bought some trays of pansies and polyanthus so no, of course, I need to plant them. I’m hoping tomorrow it might be less chilly, I will walk DDog early and get them done before I come back indoors I think.
Urmstongran that reminded me of DD running round a big rock on the beach as the tide went out and coming back drenched, DS went to see what she’d done and did the same! The sea had scoured out a deeper pool behind the rock and, of course, they both had to fall in 🫣🙄
Those were such wonderful, simple days, on the beach with sandwiches and buckets and spades.
