Hello BUZZ. Chilly and rainy yesterday so I did a lot of reading as well. Oh, and I baked bread. And apart from reading and baking I was quite ruthless in throwing out clothes I've had for decades. Do people wear slips/underskirts anymore? I spend most of my time in jeans and pants these days. Anyway that's it for this…

Is PHYLLIS the lady who was thinking of buying a second home in the States? If so, I'm very sorry you've lost your mom Phyllis. Such a loss leaves a big hole in our lives. Who said SNOW! Mind you I believe snow and frost was reported north of us,.....north, but still early for snow. It was quite chilly when we got up this…

Lovely colours in your photo JACKIE! My sort of colours. Yes we're out of bed again and there's a nip in the air, definitely on the way to being woolly vest weather! And Yes, the covid numbers are steadily increasing here as well, maybe I ordered just in time before everything shuts down again. As summer ends I'm whittling…

Well.....loud thunder claps had me and the Bean up and running at 5 am. 5 am on a holiday, aaagh. Thunder claps all day apparently, summers going out with a bang. I see an afternoon nap in our future. JERI, I only order clothes from M&S. nowhere else. But I can tell you I am more than happy with everything so far. Their…

Thanks for the preview and suggestion JACKIE. for the next time I order!!! I've put them on the "not just now" button. so I won't lose. This time I've ordered jeans, a roll neck sweater and a cardigan. I'm waiting with Bean for Mike to arrive in my very favourite ever M&S camel pants and the top I wore on the picture I…

Is Donald's name engraved on the bottom of the teapot for one LIN? Today is an auspicious day in my little household. It's the day my eldest decided to arrive 2 months early 59 years ago. Seems like yesterday! Nothing else happening so far, but then it's only 8:06 ! It's going to be a lovely day today, or so the weather…

Pencil skirt........one of those skinny things I can't get into anymore.

Can't resist. Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen. Tea ain't been discovered yet, just beer for "merry" men. So I've got over the tooth pull, a sick pup, and a bee sting almost gone, and am I a happy camper? No I'm not, knee deciding to collapse on me with accompanying pain. My mother always said everyone is…

LOVE Runtie, PATSY I think the ornate teapot belonged to a French aristocrat, LIN You are one very brave woman, JACKIE. Glad you are taking photos though of Jackie's Progress. One day you will sit with a glass of wine 🍷 in opulent comfort viewing what once was. Anne.

Beautiful perfect September day here of 73 with a light breeze. Michael's been and gone, but Jilly had lots of walks and is now napping. I got taken to Indigo's to buy two murder mysteries, my finger is so much better, no itching to speak of and just a little swelling, so I'm looking forward to starting one of the books…

Broken arrow. (When treaties with native people are not followed through)

Forgot again, but suspect I've really gained after the last three weeks of mishaps. Comfort food!

Yes indeed, grand kids are the greatest, even the very grown up ones like mine. Thanks for showing them to us Jeri. Lovely looking family. Maybe we will be lucky enough to see a great grandchild. Wouldn't that be neat! Anne.

Finally, it posted. Wonder if the problem is page change?

Thanks for your concern PATSY. This thing has made me sort of sleepy, so Jill and I had just settled down on the sofa for a sort of snooze when there came a knock on the door and Jilly ran straight across me to see who it was. It was Darren with the two girls who have grown like weeds in the UK. Now 10 and 13 both…

Hello Sneakers, before I go for my shower just want to say one last word on bee stings. I've had numerous wasp stings but nothing as bad as this bee sting. Spreading out my hand my middle finger is/was squashed between the fingers on either side it is/was so swollen. A little reduced in size today. Red, painful yet at the…

Case load

Sting hurts !

Doctor who..........of course !

Thanks for the tip, but JACKIE do you know we no longer have pennies (1 cent)..? They disappeared a few years ago and our currency starts at 5 cents, I think I got everything out of the hole, but feel much better knowing what did it! The sting was very painful and I swept the critter off my finger and straight into the…

Good Morning quickie. It's a bee sting. Painfully itchy and finger twice it's normal size and also throbbing. Can't bend it. It will pass. Off for a coffee and a hope it returns to normal, my precious middle finger, soon. Anne. ☹️🖐🐝

Thanks LIN, but I managed to find my gloves in the chaos of the garage. A very good fitting make from our favourite gardening place and Suspect I will be getting more from the family. The finger is no longer hurting, it's now a sausage, pink and itchy. Tea tree oil works really well. Went out to do more gardening but it's…

And a very happy little teapot indeed, dear LIN.

Exactly dear girls and very well put. I lay awake all night for two reasons. One I couldn't get poor Roy out of my mind, he should never have died in that senior home recovering from surgery and succumbing to the virus. Avid gardener and he loved Christmas to the extent we all got a little something. Every adult on his…

Snow white

Not sure what bit me, it was big and black as I knocked it into the garden waste bag. Finger Still hurts, interesting shade of pink and swollen. Anne.😳

Outside weeding again, I just got stung by a wasp. Ouch........ inside disinfecting entry point. Not weeding anymore today. Natures revenge? Anne . 😳🐝🌿
