Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark with signs of overnight rain here in brackley this morning.
A very much routine of some housework , and then get the bus to Bicester , seems to be fewer people about shopping wise a sign of things to come .
Health wise , OK bowel wise .
Take Care,
Mick

Blimey LLFL within touching distance of that metal! Pull your elbows in as you go through mind.

Good morning from still sunny East Lothian - rain on its way tonight. I had a lovely day yesterday, gardening at DDโ€™s. She is very limited now in what she can do in the garden, due to her undiagnosed muscle weakness, so when we are here I try to do a bit of weeding and planting. We went to a local garden centre for lunch on Sunday and, of course, came back with some plants ๐Ÿ™‚. I walked back to our flat along the river as the last of a beautiful autumn day turned to night. I could see through the hanging branches in their delicate gold, to the weir where the moorhens were feeding. Today I will do a bit more gardening and later we are going to the cinema to see The Outrun. I have read the book and am looking forward to seeing the Orkney land and seascapes on the screen.

Glad you are recovering steadily from your op, Holly. Thoughts with you, Baubles and all who have extra challenges just now. Hope your trip to Lidl goes well, Marydoll - donโ€™t overdo it!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
Cold and sunny again.
I've just been to the podiatrist and told her my family history. She seemed pretended to sound interested and suggested it would make a good mini series ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I have a new Helpx arriving this afternoon by bike from Cornwall.
I have a list of jobs for him over the next fortnight. He will have to sleep in the sitting room as the spare "guest suite" still has my temporarily homeless friends in it.
It will be a jolly time, I hope.

I have nightmares about being too near the side on boats Llfl ever since I was in Battersea Park funfair in a rowing boat with my teenaged boyfriend. He rowed me into the tunnel of love and I dangled my arm over the side, only for it to smash against the tunnel. It was most unromantic ๐Ÿ˜ฅ I hope your cruise is wonderful.

Apart from the airport, I don't think I have ever been to Prestwick.
It sounds nice.

Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Good morning everyone! It's 12.8C here in little Appleby. I'm sat here with a cuppa and some Custard Cream bickies!

Absolutely scared myself silly this morning! My livingroom and bedroom are directly next to each other. At night before bed I always put on a livingroom table lamp so there's a bit of light coming into my dark bedroom.

In the livingroom I have a coffee table opposite my desk. I got up about 2am, stuffed with Amoxicillin and still very rough, thumping headaches, hacking coughing fits, awkward chest etc. absolutely desperate for a fizzy drink. I'd left a un-opened can of Doctor Pepper on the coffee table. I went to grab the can and for a second I swear I saw someone hiding under my desk - I live alone and no pets -I absolutely shot through the roof with fright then realized it was a shadow as I bend down to pick up the can!

But apart from my heart jumping out of my chest I'm OK! HA!

Have a good one, all of you, no matter what you're doing today!
