Crofters cottage

Almost missed your post PATSY on the previous page. I remember the gnats in GB but I never encountered a mosquito until I came to Canada. They really plague me and I'm allergic to their bites. I dug up a photo from one of the isles.

Don't know about adventurous, LIN, more like needs must! You are probably right about Jilly not accompanying me in a row boat, and to be honest with the effect on my eye from the vein widening drug, I probably wouldn't see the islands and row straight past to Russia. Neither Jill or I fancy meeting the "Russian bear".…

Oh my goodness JACKIE, what a sad thing to happen and in the middle of the Beast from the East! I do send your friend a wish for a speedy recovery and a safe journey home. It must have all been very traumatic for you as well and I hope you are taking care of yourself! The photos will be something to look forward to of…

Warm thoughts

Feather clouds

Unmade beds

Hello, and we've swung back to way below temperatures again. What a Yo yo season. To think I was gardening two days ago, and now it's minus 6! PATSY, what a dilemma. I hate drug taking and after the disastrous results of 9 years ago (the blind spot in my left eye from broken veins, still with me, and the same problem in my…

No change, and I'm back to pre Christmas weight and so I suspect I've hit the dreaded plateau again. Anne.

Great news SANDY, very pleased for you. Anne.

Darling buds......... (of May - Tv series)

SANDY, take note of what BUZZ writes. Did you prepay the last months rent when you became a tenant? This means if you give 3 months notice you live the last month free because you've already paid. However, if you leave earlier than the three months the landlady can keep that months rent. That's how it works here. Don't be…

BUZZ, just going to bed, but the outer Hebrides are far, far north, Scottish islands. Harris tweed comes from one of them. Windswept and beautiful, low on population unless you are a puffin or seal colony, and the archeologists are digging up Viking settlements. Definitely not Florida! Night, night, Anne.

I'm considering the outer Hebrides PATSY as a future abode. But I'd probably need a rowing boat to get there! Anne.

Blooming weather (sorry, English slang)

Although chilly, the back garden is sunny and sheltered so the Bean and I have just spent a whole hour cutting back dead foliage. The snowdrops are indeed decimated after the coldest and longest and snowiest winter I can remember. Just the one brave soul. Not sure about anything else at this point. We both so enjoyed…

Stress Sandy. Anne.

Morning. More sackings at the White House etc. Is it possible that Mr T could be the last actual "president" before something more dictatorial takes over? Anne.

Very sorry to read about your impending move SANDY. It's always a problem with renting isn't it. I'm forever asking M and M if they want to sell this house, but so far they tell me it's mine as long as I can manage. However, one worries about being a nuisance or burden. I really am sorry though for your predicament. You…

It's ruddy cold here as well. Snow overnight, but brilliant sunshine right now. Something about March coming in like a lion? Talking of things being put in teabags causing our leaders to act like March hares (who also go dotty in the spring) and seeing the world is crawling with spies, secret agents etc, couldn't something…

BUZZ, as I watch the whole world seemingly going nuts I'm beginning to wonder if something is being added to our morning tea leaves and coffee granules! Re: your friend discovering MFP, what's working for me this time round is cutting out everything with even a sniff of sugar, very little bread, rolls, etc, oodles of…

Me before I take off. The weather is freezing here, but lovely and sunny. Great Britain sacks 23 Russian diplomats and the royal family isn't going to attend the world football events in Russia. I bet old Putin is really shaking in his fur lined boots. But what else can be done? Like JACKIE I can't do anything about the…

Just a quick note from me before we take off for the day. Things livening and waking up around here! Mark and Mary Jo back from their vacation hopefully, Michael with a life changing business meeting, and etc etc. Those fighter jets fly up the East coast as well JACKIE. Remember them well. I heard Donald's sacked…

Morning all. I'm pretty much involved for the next few days, so probably won't post. Will be back, meanwhile take care of yourselves, Anne.

And I appear to have lost 1 lb. Spring, here we come! No temptations today, M and M still on vacation and Mikes got a cold, so I jumped on the scales early! Anne

Dental filling - candy floss, of course, yes it is Lin.
