HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MOON and HAPPY NEW MONTH!Today was the new moon. I can't believe that this week will be the beginning of September! Where does the time go? It feels like I just started a new thread a day ago. I hope you all have a healthy, joyful, serene week! Enjoy the last of summer.

That would now fall under Universal Credit. I'd check that out as soon as you can, and get a claim in - I think it still takes weeks before a first payment is made. Fingers crossed you're successful.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good Morning. Dry here & no rain last night. I'd actually be relieved if we had some rain, as the poor garden is suffering now. I must attack my huge ironing pile, as I went to sleep after lunch yesterday instead of getting the iron out! Yesterday I got more birthday cards - a beautiful one from my Eldest, which must have got held up in the post. Birthdays now stretch out over several days! Think I'll stop having them, though. Don't like the numbers which seem to bear no relation to me.
ROSY - Thank goodness that the worst of the move is over ! You can take your time with the boxes. LYNETTE - good to hear that Jasper is settling in. You have indeed done a lot to the house and garden this year. I find that is never ending. Now waiting for the painter for a lot of outside touching up. Plus, the fascia boards on the south facing side of the house need replacing. RUSTY - What a good and loyal friend you are. I hope that her arm gets better, soon. I also love ratatouille. I used to make a veggie lasagne with home made ratarouille - not done that for ages but you have reminded me . OG - I hope that J s arm is less painful. Sorry that he bumped into a door post. I thought that only elderly people like me did things like that .. LINDY - Happy extended birthday ! As for ironing - hate it and don't do much. There was a lot more when my OH was alive, seven shirts a week etc. ANNETTE - I said that I wasn't going to say any more about my daughter's neighbour. But she, who answers the door using two sticks, was practically running down the road recently, trying to catch her dog which had escaped. No sticks... I'm afraid that said lady is a bit of a talking point with the folk round about....and me. I must stop.
Morning all:
Typed a long reply yesterday then got distracted; never hit Post..
Kids arrived before the crack of dawn and are now snoozing. Will not be too sorry to wave bye-bye to dog, who got extremely excited when they arrived and I had to soothe with treats.... She is expecting a walk but I'm waiting for Ms. D to wake up and play with her. We are having brunch here today with daughter; kids and dog will likely leave tomorrow evening to avoid Labor Day traffic on Monday. Dare I look forward to a reasonably quiet week?
I think anyone who is facing hardship as a result of stupid governments should access help in whatever form it takes and Heather, I still think somebody should video that neighbor.
