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.
Unset and then reset loads of stuff. Seem to have got one satisfactorily. Wonder what it'll do next time!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Now only need to try to get it after the text!
Here is a rule-breaking duck:
Hey, it worked!
You seem to have it sorted, OG....... Nice pics!
OG: Your photos are wonderful. Love that duck! So funny.
As usual, DIANE, not sure who took which pics as we share three cameras with three different lenses - and now his telescope will be added in, when he has mastered digiscoping!
PS - I do know that Duck on the wall was one of mine!
Great photos OG Love the otter and duck
Morning all and Hi to Patily - nice to see you drop in. How are you doing?
OG: Great shots.
Woke up late to see Serena leaving the court - no surprises in her win, which is why I probably didn't rush out of bed - but tomorrow will be wide awake for the Men's Final, which will truly be a match between equals. In the meantime, must hose down for breakfast with friends.
Hello, PATILY. Enjoy breakfast, ANNETTE.
Just in from gardening - decided wouldn't attempt more than an hour and a half. I came in with a cucumber to eat, tarragon to freeze and two re-potted houseplants to water, so next destination is the kitchen.
Hey, I'm enjoying this now it works. All today were at Martin Mere WWT a month ago.
That's the format Lindy. Works for me every time. Lovely pic of Bonnie.
Annette - sorry to hear you had a frustrating afternoon, lets hope the matter resolves itself and you can get a verdict re Dau.
Unfortunately, Roger is Andy's nemesis and R.came out the better player. Never mind there's always next year Andy.
Clare - glad Helen feels a little better.
