Hi Doglet,

No, my weather is not better - and thunder on top of it !
Strange time of the year to have your hair cut off - I usually grow it towards Winter.

Sorry to hear of poor Freddy's problems - good that is full of beans but he must feel sorry for himself in front of bland food; and to think they say the product is inoffensive !

Did not feel like doing anything serious this afternoon so got a jigsaw out and made a start - I usually have one on the go towards this time of the year onwards and do a bit here and then. Makes a change from 'transwriting' ( = translating but almost rewriting so it reads better than a word per word translation)

Responding to bump this up - it would be a shame for it to wither away.

Entirely agree ChrisE - Will contribute tomorrow, after my beauty sleep ! (we are an hour ahead here)

Yes, a very good idea , Chris!
After all, we fought long and hard for a chance to "chat" - as you say we shouldn't let the thread die away.
How are you anyway? Any holidays coming up , fern studying? you haven't mentioned it for a while?

chrise- have you finished "Skallagrig"?

No Rosalind - nearly halfway. It's taking me longer than usual as I have to keep wiping my eyes!

and it's a very long book......
Virtual box of tissues headed your way

Thank you!

Morning Everyone,

Actually have a connection for .... I don't know how long, so taking advantage of this to say Hello.

Technician coming this afternoon to work on my line - apparently I have had no less than 5380 disconnections ! The chap on the phone could not get over it ! The problem might be on line outside the house, or indoors, perhaps a filtre that's dead or .... whatever !

The frustating thing about all this is that whenever I want to reply to a post, by the time I get reconnected, an hour or so has elapsed - hence there is no point!

So all being well, I might be back to normal this evening - fingers crossed.

Hello, Pigale!
I hope your technician has arrived and is now working on your line. Hopefully , you will be able to communicate successfully later on today!
It's the most miserable day here! very wet and very chilly! I got soaked this morning walking the dog, despite wearing a raincoat and wellies and even bearing an umbrella at the time!
(Needless to say the dog had a great time!)
I'm spending the afternoon reading!
