Grammaretto, I think it is Bonny's twin sister.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's mild again.

My foraging expedition was informative and fun but the only edibles I foraged were from my DF greenhouse.

Our art group exhibition opens this afternoon so I baked a cake last night after setting up my section.

Quaker Meeting here this morning so I'll need to make a soup for the lunch after.

One of our number, a dear person, is now in terminal care. I have to be the bearer of sad news.

Sorry about your ds Bonny. Did we meet her at one of our meetups in Edinburgh, years ago?

Lovely photos again. Here is mine of "wax caps" and "plums and custard"

Hope everyone has some joy today.

I don’t think Mick ever reads his thread either hollysteers as he has never once in all the years come back to pass a comment on any aspect of it, hence I no longer exhort him to seek help. He’s his own man, fair enough.

Re. Mick, perhaps we should flood him with pms? Then he can hardly say he didn’t see the posts…

I am pretty sure Mick doesn't come back and read the posts.

His situation is really worrying, when he obviously needs medical intervention and given his past history. 🙁

Good morning from a dull Cambridgeshire. The local firework display last night was very good and not too many loud bangs and whizzes etc just lots of very pretty extremely spectacular fireworks. It was a mild dry evening and the bonfire burnt well warming everyone. We went back to DD2’s house for fish & chip supper and watched Strictly.
Today must be a garden day I need to get those bulbs in some pots, plant out a new Hellebore and general clipping and tidying. DH does get clipper happy so will be monitoring him…
We will have roast pork later and settle down with the TV and our books.

Wishing a peaceful day to all 💐

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a lovely bright start to the day
Sorry to hear about your sister bonnybanko
Good to hear you’re making steady progress holly
I’m looking forward to our Sunday facetime call with DS, it’ll be good to hear all his news. After that I’m planning to get wrapped up and go out in the garden, the fresh air and exercise will do me good. This afternoon DGS is coming for a sleepover so we’ll probably end up playing whichever board game is his current favourite.
Your new allotment sounds promising Karma although lots of work ahead, I hope you enjoy clearing it and getting it in order
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

FGT we considered pans of water, but the caravan has to be towed back into the compound when we leave. Customers are not allowed in there.

So we buy the ones in little containers and put them in washing up bowls. They too are full of water come the Spring!

Good morning all and it’s very quiet here on the Suffolk coast after last nights surprise firework display on the beach. The campsite must have organised it. We had front row seats. 🎆🎇.

I sat on the beach yesterday with little pooch watching the waves rolling in, not another person in sight. Very therapeutic.
Dh went to the local footie match and I made a stew with dumplings. Today I’ll make pasties with the leftovers.

I hope your sister is home again soon Bonnybanko. 💐
Take it easy Mick.
Sorry you feel lonely Bellasnanna. 💐
Roseandlilac I hope you feel better . 💐.
Good luck and happy times in your allotment Karma. Keep us updated with your progress. 👩‍🌾.

Take care all 🌻🍁

Re. Mick, perhaps we should flood him with pms? Then he can hardly say he didn’t see the posts…

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and looks damp. Mick definitely time to contact your medical team. Bonnybanko I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she recovers soon.
FGT lovely photo. It makes me long for some Mediterranean sun.
Yesterday was a fairly busy day. I picked up art supplies for me and dgs2 who loves painting. I also picked up a science kit for dgs1 who enjoys experimenting. Then a trip to the garden centre for compost which is still in the back of my car. I donated to the poppy appeal while there and looked at the small Christmas trees grown in tubs. I fancy one for outside my front door. Later I made a pot of bolognaise sauce in the slow cooker and had some for dinner. All the housework and washing was done too.
Today I'll go to Aldi for a few things then potter about. If it dries up, I'll pot the rest of my bulbs. This afternoon I'll visit mum. I'll make a small lasagne with some of the bolognaise sauce. A quiet day. Have a good day all

Good morning Mick and all from a 12c northwest coast.
I can now move on from puréed food to soft food, which is rather exciting, so am thinking cottage pie, fish pie etc.

Another quiet day ahead and went to bed astonishingly early for me last night, vivid dreams throughout. Was disappointed to wake up out of a dream in London on my way to the West End with my late DH and a meal..

Mick, I don’t think you read the thread you start and the good advice given🤔
Hope your sister is ok Bonnybanko nice pic FGT and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning from an overcast Glasgow, where it is 10 °C.

Bonny, so sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she will soon be on the mend. 💐

Mick, I despair. Why will you not seek medical help? This has been going for far too long.

Good luck with the piano playing Ash.

Have a pleasant Sunday, everyone.

Good morning everyone from another dull and dank day in Northampton. Yesterday didn't turn out too bad; it brightened up later on, and I was able to complete my shopping in finer weather.

My DSis is due to ring me later this morning after. a busy couple of days over her 70th birthday. Apparently the.flowers I sent her turned out well, as she sent me a photo of them.

Early afternoon I am off out to the cinema to see a concert performance of Phantom of the Opera; have never seen the whole musical, but know the music well.

Mick, please contact your surgery or hospital team; things need sorting.

Wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent. A really enjoyable family day yesterday with DGD2 for her 18th birthday celebration. DD2 had 16 to feed. I think I managed to talk to everyone including a long chat with DDIL and DD’s MIL.
Fish pie today with DB before he travels home and we return to everyday life
karmalady glad you got your allotment underway
Bonntbanko
Best wishes to all

Good morning everyone from a grey, dry and mild Essex. A rude awakening for me this morning, the heating came on, followed immediately by the smoke alarms going off. Fortunately they stopped after a few seconds, but I got out of bed very quickly. Checked all the alarms and the carbon monoxide detector and all seemed ok. The smoke detectors were only installed 6 weeks ago so I hope they’re not going to make a habit of going off without reason.
Yesterday was fairly quiet, I did some dusting and will vacuum today. Not many fireworks last night, a few bangs, but nothing visible unfortunately. We always used to have big parties when my DDs were younger.
I need to do some washing today and vacuum everywhere so will be busy.
karma a very busy and strenuous day for you yesterday. I’m sure your allotment will soon be productive.
Have a good day everyone, hope we see the sun soon!

My mum used to put pans around their caravan NannyJan containing a couple of inches of salt to draw the moisture from the air and prevent dampness in the curtains and furnishings. When they used to return in March the pans weee full of water - hence using pans as she could empty them more easily by the handles!

Good morning from a dull but dry Black Country.

Off to the caravan shortly, to give it a clean and make it ready for Winter storage, by dotting small dehumidifiers around. Caravan site will be closed Monday until end of February, so only staying the one night. Evening Sunday roast at a local pub

Tomorrow we will stop off at Bristol to spend an hour with MrJ's DD who will be working from home.

Hopefully we will be home by 3pm (ish)

I echo everyone here Mick in saying that you really should seek medical advice now.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

“Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day …” 🎶 🎵

Good morning everyone from gorgeously warm Málaga. I think the weather here must be similar to yours Bellasnana! We did a fair bit of walking yesterday. I took this photo. I like the white against the blue sky and the greenery. Everything looks so vibrant out here.

I’m thinking a less energetic day today. Stay local to eat and drink. It’s wonderful to have the choice, plus Man. Utd play later and then there’s the Brazilian Grand Prix - Himself plans to be immersed!

Hope your sister feels better soon Bonnybanko. x

Good morning from a grey NE where it feels quite mild.
Yesterday was spent pottering. Got a new kettle out of my store cupboard and put it to use, the old one was starting to look shabby. Changed the filter in my water jug and tidied the kitchen.
Pulled Henry round the hard floor surfaces and then retired to the sofa with my book and Lang Lang on the player.
Made a veggie curry for dinner and had an alcohol free beer with it then blew my good intentions by having a glass of white wine.
No visitors again today so will catch up with some TV.
Bonnybanko 💐

Good morning all from a grey North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today. We are going to a pub in the village for lunch. The pub has recently changed hands from one that served a very popular carvery to one that does table service. A carvery is a bit of a worry for someone with a gluten intolerance so I am happier

We had a Turkish takeaway last night - I don't cook when Strictly is on!! It was delicious.

Have the best day possible.

Good morning from Malta where it’s cloudy but due to reach 25°C again.

No idea what I’m doing today apart from Mass and my weekly FaceTime chat wth my friend in Leicester. Like me, she’s on her own so we both understand each other’s loneliness.

Sorry you were not well again Mick.😞.
Bonnybanko you must be worried about your sister, I do hope she will soon be better and back home.🙏🏻

Wishing a good day to you all.☀️

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

Mick, don’t you think you should speak to your medical team? This has been going on far too long.

Another quiet day. I’ll probably visit friends this afternoon. She is due to have a hip replacement on Tuesday but her husband had a dreadful tumble the other day and landed flat on his face. Abrasions, bruised and a broken tooth!

We should have been going to a car boot sale today so OH could sell his honey. However, he is having to warm it all as it has crystallised. I’m not sure what’s happening now as our daughter is coming next weekend.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a mild Cornwall, where a lovely cool breeze is wafting across my bed. A crazy, lovely day yesterday with both my youngest grandchildren. The boy aged seven made gingerbread sharks and the girl aged nine made a wreath from pieces of fabric.

For their dad, who likes all things peculiar, I bought a strange edible fungi called Lion's Mane (white and hairy) from a market stall. Will hear in due course what it was like to eat; you cook it like steak apparently.

Today I'm drawn towards the glorious Perranporth beach for a long walk.

Bonny bank 💐💐💐
