Hallo all. Seems like Central Indiana, including Diane's neighborhood, got hit by high winds, downed trees and power outages as Hurricane Helene traveled north (not a hurricane at that point but still very strrong winds). Do hope no damage to her little house in the trees..... I'm sure she'll be in touch when she can.
We are having a low key birthday celebration tomorrow for daughter and granddaughter whose birthdays are two weeks apart. Granddaughter was working on hers and will also be working on daughter's so we're combining both. Grandson will - hopefullly - be home and fast asleep: He'''s been gone from home fo 31 days, working 16-hours a day on various fires around the state. Spoke to him a few days ago and he was completely exhausted.
It's been a busy week and Monday will be busy but really hope thing will slow down after that!
Hope everyone has a good week and that various health concerns will be laid to rest. Take care everyone.
Thank you Annette. Sounds like you have a few busy days ahead but nice ones too. I do hope your grandson gets home for a well earned rest. I hope Diane is OK there too. Strong winds must be scary in those woods.
I am just going out for my usual Sunday morning walk with my friend. Her cold seems to have got better enough for her to consider coming. She suggested it and I thought I needed the exercise!! Got ironing to do so it is conveniently putting it off!!!!
ANNETTE thanks for starting the week. RUSTY Enjoy your walk. We will be taking Benson to the uni in half an hour, his usual on a Sunday as we have no problem parking. Walking is definitely preferable to ironing though if I can find something good to watch on TV while I am doing it then I don't mind.
Good morning all - I too hope that Diane is safe and well and thanks Annette for starting us off.
On the subject of Maggie Smith, I watched a film called The Miracle Club yesterday - set in Ireland with a great cast. Having Irish roots from my Dad - I recognised the Ireland of the time and the people and their ways of dealing with uncomfortable things. Its well worth a watch.
I think that was a fairly recent release HARELADY, wish now we had gone to see it. We are going to see "Lee" on Wednesday, starring Kate Winslet, it is about a female war photographer and has good reviews.
