HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!
February 1 is Imbolc (or Imbolg), the old Gaelic festival marking the coming of spring and traditionally celebrated throughout Scotland, Ireland, and the Isle of Man. It falls about halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. We're almost to the time of warmer weather (cooler weather for you, AQ)! Yay! I'm so hoping for an early spring, so we'll only have about 4 or 5 more weeks of the cold. I hope everyone has an easy week!

OG – Good that you passed your mammogram test. Now for your jab. J’s “fit notes” sound more positive than alternative name.
LINDA – Even if you had found microwave instructions, they were probably useless. I suggest a ball & chain to keep your OH from getting busy too soon.
BLUESKY – Welcome to the thread. Nearly time for nest-gazing.
LIMPY – Congrats on getting “the call”. I’m sure I heard CLARE from here!
ANNETTE – “socially distanced coffee and treats with Brit friend”. I misread it as if friend is in Brit. . .
LYNETTE – Hope you are coping with your sudden restricted life.
I don't like morning people . . . or mornings, or people.
I don’t mean to interrupt people. I just remember things randomly and get really excited.
I haven’t lost my mind. . . half of it just wandered off, and the other half went looking for it.
I've reported in the past that we have a lot of Magpies now. Here are 5 in the plum tree yesterday.
And... 3 seconds later, here are 4 more in the ash tree at the same time....
There were also at least two more flying around!!!!
