What are you all up to

Another wet miserable windy day here today so don’t think we will be venturing out. The weather was the same yesterday so in the afternoon we went a drive of about 20 mile round trip just to get out of the house that’s the most miles the Volvo has done for almost 2 months now so it was good to give it a run out hopefully won’t be long before it is in use regularly again and we can go further afield. 

Bakers lovely pics of your new dog. We don’t have a dog ourselves but do dog sit my sisters little dog Chelsea on a regular basis. 

Here(according to the police) it’s 10% +2. It could’ve changed but I’m ok at 30mph👍🏻

Ditto: loved the books and also loved the films (have those same directors cut dvds).; particularly as Sean Bean was in them. I always joke to my husband that I only went out on our first date because he bears more than a passing resemblance to Sean Bean😂

I love all different genres of literature but the books that captured me as a youngster were the fantasy ones by Tolkien, C. S Lewis, Alan Garner and Susan Cooper. I still re read them now😊

Despite not liking the books ir the films, OH loved the films, and still watches them with the DVD's.

On our first visit to NZ 2009 we visited Hobbiton, Matamata. Totally as it was left. We were amazed to be told that the trees were ?plum and should have been apple? So silk leaves were flown in from China and hand sewn onto the trees for authenticity and a large oak behind, not the party ground one, was discovered, nearby and shipped in for filming and it too had leaves stitched on as it was dead 😱.

Yes milliehull we did call in on our son to collect cage and other bits. We too sat in the garden for a cuppa and a stare with him. Hopefully my moderated post including the days events will appear in due course! 

Glad you managed a stare with your family 😀.

I can't believe this puppy, long may it last!, but I fear OH activity levels may not increase as hoped photos of today's activities. Still no mess in her cage and goes out to wee and poo if the door is open!

Today's activity thus morning, lunchtime, turned breezy enough for a gust to upended her bed and toys in the garden so we all took shelter! So far it's only letting me add 1 photo! Bear with me

Several of out "tips" have opened ,queues are huge according to one of this mornings dog walkers, (we still have difficulty getting the dogs to understand social distancing) 

I have recieved today recieved an email from the county council adviseing those of us with /trailer permits are not permitted with tralers yet to "ease" the congestion 

Ps OH just "found" a text from yesterday ,from NHS hospital ,adviseing that her MRI scan that was asked for in early Feb,   is now being arranged and they will contact her very soon with a date 

JVB good news on your OH scan. Fingers crossed.

We've just had big gusts of wind and enough rain to warrant getting the towels in, almost dry. Lasted a very short time not enough to wet a tissue!

 Not sure if it's safe to post this but :--

in about a month's time { 20th June at approx 05:45 }, the Summer Solstice occurs, then the nights start drawing in again !!

( And please don't confuse me with any other posters past or present please  please please    )

It nearly rained here just before you got it, we really do need some 

ps  great little pup ,just wait till she gets  more relaxed  and what plants did you hope to keep

We're desperate for rain but a nice gentle sort please 😆

We're keeping every plant as it is.  Vigilance 😂😂

Eyes in back of head comes to mind
