HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Last week's Chat thread is here.
I hope everyone is safe from the bad weather in the U.K.
Margo: Sorry it was so frightful for you.
Clare: Congratulations on your new opportunity at Minsmere. Enjoy!
Brenda: Sorry you lost your match with the men folks. :-) I'm sure your new roses are lovely.
Lindy: I hope you enjoy your time in Wales.
Annette: So glad you all had such a nice day at the beach.
Heather: I hope things are improving for your family in France.
AQ: I've enjoyed looking at your photos. I like the Koroit Library, the Cape Nelson Lighthouse, and the Portland Tram; also, I want to live in the little Kalangadoo Church with the green roof! Very lovely.
You might be interested in seeing this old Catholic church near me: see here and here. Built in 1886, it stands in the rustic, restored 19th century Billie Creek Village in Parke County. Also, here's the historic old Log Church, built in 1871, in what is now Turkey Run State Park/Forest near me.
Hello to everyone. I hope this post makes sense. My neighbors are blasting off huge fireworks. They terrify me. I hope they don't set the woods on fire. Poor, poor wildlife. I hate July 4th.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
LoL, CLARE!
Has Helen seen the Doc yet?
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
She has an appointment this evening.
Morning all: Off to daughter's in another bit.
CLARE: Let us know how things went.
Hi, all. She appears to have had a recurrence of Tietze's Syndrome, which is causing her pain and making her feel ill. She is taking painkillers and has been prescribed something to stop her being sick, so fingers crossed!
Pleased it wasn't anything worse, but still very unpleasant for the poor lass - I hope it clears up soon!
Best wishes to Helen, Clare. I hope the meds help, and she feels better soon.
Clare: Wow - that's new to me too! Glad it can be managed; hopefully quickly! Hugs to Helen (gentle ones!).
This is what I really like about the Weekly Chat - you are all so kind! Thank you very much. All of your wishes are very much appreciated.
