Good Morning Everyone,
Its twilight at the moment but its dry and cold outside here in Brackley .
Todays plans will do a bus trip into Bicester , have a coffee and a bite to eat then shop maybe see people I know, may return around lunchtime as well for a beer ,
Plan to have my usual Chinese Take Away later as well.
Health OK cutting back on the Lopermide capsules as they build up number 2 and gives me impression of weight gain.
Take Care,
Mick

Garden chair - French. We have a couple - in fact they are our second lot.

Good afternoon from a beautifully sunny and blue sky West Oxfordshire.

I’ve just made a coffee and chocolate three layer cake. The rich chocolate muffins have gone in the freezer.

We have just spotted a very large pigeon nesting in our orange blossom. It looks quite a rickety nest and the bird is bigger than the nest! I’m afraid Milo and Ripley are going to have a field day.

R&L I’m so sorry you are still waiting.🌹

We love Lafuma chairs - they last for years /are sturdy and comfortable - unfortunately our favourite ‘Moon ‘ chairs are 25 yrs old - so showing age and use - but not manufactured many more 🫤 so we’ll keep up with any necessary repairs 👍☘️🙏🏽

Good afternoon everyone from sunny Lancashire. I’m having problems with my hands which makes posting difficult, but I’m trying to keep up with the GN news.

MrB and I have enjoyed a morning walk around the Dock in the sunshine. So many beautiful flowers out now, I prefer wildflowers to garden plants. We found some lovely forget-me-nots and pink bluebells. This afternoon we have been birdwatching on the Albert Edward dock, lots of great crested grebes and common terns.

As always, thinking of those with troubles in their lives.

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.

Isn’t it normal to use a capital letters for proper nouns- and that includes brand names?
Thank you for the explanation, I was beginning to think it was some weird object.

Here's the Answer as to what happened.

Hello Michael12,

Thank you - we had an outage this morning but should be sorted now.

Best wishes,

Just popped in after a busy day with DD2 and DGS2 to see how RosesandLilac is doing. It really isn’t good enough!!! X.

I tried to post this morning - must have been just before their outage as my post was there but never posted. I have been intending to see whether things were operative again but got diverted to help DH in the garden. Only just back to check emails etc.

Sorry to hear of the problems a lot of us are suffering from and hope for better news tomorrow. TTFN
