Oooh no...don't mention cannibals doing rain dancing ..I have just looked at Accuweather and it's more of the same for the next three weeks by the look of it .In fact they have forecast 50 mile an hour winds for the weekend and it drops to minus 2 on some nights .
I don't follow football ..but jolly well done to your team Jude . My men do things like this when Germany or Norwich are playing..They jump up and down and hug each other...must be some sort of man thing ! I don't think there is much hugging when Norwich play though as they seem to lose on a regular basis .Must be something Delia puts in the pies.

Had an interesting morning cleaning the first floor of robi towers....
Mystery object rattled up semi-full vac...ne'er mind, it might be a nice surprise when I find it after sifting through all the fluff 'n dog hairs later
Whilst doing skirting board managed to suck up corner of wallpaper & from behind fell a large chunk of plaster. Plaster & paper now being held in place with blu-tac.
Pulled knob off wardrobe - probably due to the inventive way it was initially attached.....well, a biddy has to be creative when she only has 3 blunt screwdrivers that double up as paint stirrers & a pair of pliers with 'once molten' ends (don't ask) & a hammer that occasionally loses it's head...
miles covered - several...

Awww, how endearing is that Paddington - thank you so much, Shaney. What's more, reading the Wikipedia entry I realize we have a thing or two in common, him and me - but I won't tell you which ones - ha! / Lest the rest of you will think Shaney whacky for sending me bears... and me for merrily accepting them... I'll just say that it did refer back to something I've said. (Explain further if you wish, Shaney.)
Neti we have an English Shop here too! Have a look at the way ours write their name, does it seem to you like they're the same company as yours? I come there mainly for their Twinings and Ahmad Darjeeling, for Marmite and for Dunoon mugs. Vinny, they have one with Devon motifs, Ilfracombe (not Woolacombe) is on it, and on the inside just below the rim there's a miniature picture called Beach Huts in Beer. A Vinny-vicinity-village called Beer?? I just cracked up...
Robinia! I think you should take your Woman's Weekly to "Tarquin" for a change: Stepford Swedes...! Indeed!
that was so uncalled-for, tarquin
(blixa and) nick again His voice is like a lullaby to me.

Morning all Hope all are well. I have really been made to count my blessings today. I have been to see a friend who hasn't been well after a stroke and it takes her all her time to remember who I am never mind about talk. I came away feeling so sad for her and her family. She has a lovely husband who does everything for her. We used to work together in a local paper shop for about 5 years and became really good friends.
Vinny I don't if I've told you but my son used to live in Seaton but has now moved to a town near by called Colyton. I bet you know that place too. I have also had a holiday in Beer many years ago. We stayed on the top of the hill in a Caravan. It poured with rain all week. My youngest son spent the whole week 'fossilling' on a beach nearby.
Sorry Robinia can't provide a new residence as I never go into other topics anymore. But I hope, like you say, it is somewhere cosy and warm. It's still bl***y raining over here.
It's my theatre trip tonight to see Pam Ayres. I don't know what to expcect as I have a friend who was on 'Crosswits' on tv and she was her partner and she said she hardly spoke to her before or after the show, and was a real snob. That sort of puts me off! Anyway see you all tomorrow and I can tall you how funny or not she was!! :o)
