HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Last week's Chat thread is here.
I left a long reply on the end of last week's thread. I've got a nasty deadline this week for my project, so you all won't hear from me for a few days. I hope everyone has a great week! Eastern BluebirdLabelled Public Domain (Copyright Free)
OG- her husband is home at the moment, thank goodness!

Heather - Hope you hear some news soon and your daughter can get back to normal.
Yas - Thanks for the lettuce tip. I do know that a whole lettuce keeps for longer than one where you've taken it apart and washed the leaves before storing.
Clare & Limpy - Forgot to say, well done to Limpy on getting his photo on TV. How exciting, but I missed it!
Love your poem, Lindybird.
Yas, have a cousin living in Gloucestershire, only been to the county once to the RSPB place there which is unmanned - some woods but can't remember the name.
I must admit, Lindy, the cottages we go to have a washing machine but I never use them, too scared in case I break them, ha, ha. Much prefer to bring the stack home.
To all those who are feeling under the weather or with health problems, keep going and be positive and somehow you will come through.

Good Morning, All. Sunny start here again. Got lots of ironing done last night, so we're back to normal here now. Hoping to get some gardening done over the next few days, as there are plants we need to move. Also our lilac bush has got way too large, so we need to prune it back severely. Hope my OH can be stopped from going up the ladder when I'm out!!
Think everyone is having a lie in. Bit damp here, but maybe it will brighten up.
Good morning; repair man here early fitting new part to dishwasher. Will change order of daily tasks – especially as OH insists on standing watching any workmen that come here – and that will make this job slow as the guy loves to talk, and says most things three times too! Still, once he is gone, the day will be our own, and with no great plans!
Yas and Linda – my mother had a lettuce tip: if lettuce went a bit limp, wash a piece of coal, run cold water and put the lettuce in with the coal for a few hours. Of course, back in the day, everyone had coal!
Linda – pleased you are “back to normal”, even if that does mean more work in the garden. Somehow, work you can do out in the sunshine doesn’t seem like real work as HW does!
Dibnlib – good morning! I hope it becomes drier there for Benson’s Walkies!
Annette – nothing from you overnight – I hope all is well. I guess Diane is still busy working. Margo – I hope you have regained some energy for the wedding. Everyone – have a good weekend.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!

Has for you husband watching the workman good on him the amount of problems we've had with them l could write a book, send your hubby down my way could do with him. Have wonderful sunshine have a few small jobs to do, and then see what wildlife can spot, O' l've become a mother yes even at my age never too late, have baby Stickle backs our first only got the adults about 3 weeks ago, so much smaller than when we had goldfish oneswe use to have.
Coal with lettuce didn't it make the lettuce smell of coal? take care OG have a lovely day when the workmans gone Yas
Dishwasher man went, both now hosed down, OH gone to Tesco and butcher. I am cooking a main meal for lunchtime as we shall be going to a talk at the museum this evening - J will make his own dinner. Birds are singing - well, mostly the young Starling equivalent of singing as they enjoy splashing in the water feature at the back, and the sweet tweeting of Goldfinches on the feeders at the front: quite a contrast!
Hello all
Daughter is getting home this afternoon. No real idea about what was wrong but has a few problems anyway - has chronic inflammation in rib area (costochondritis ) also quite severe IBS. I guess it is a watch and wait scenario. I do worry about her, she is the least robust of my children. Even eldest daughter who had heart surgery at 6 years old seems to be healthier. None of them seem to have inherited my genes. I am lucky, or have been so far. I won't tempt fate...
OG - My OH also likes to watch workmen at work! And before they even arrive he speculates about how they might approach the problem. You could call it being interested, I suppose!
A very dull day here today, as DIBNLIB said, earlier. First sentence that my OH uttered today was to the effect that the grass wouldn't be getting cut. We went to Tesco and did the 'heavy shop'. Very odd, staff in abundance and every time one passed me in the aisles, he or she smiled and said Hi or Hello and if I was loitering, asked me if I was able to see what I wanted. Must be a new management directive! Either that or my age is showing and they think that I might not be able to reach or bend?!
