Ouch Mandy, you do look bashed about. I hope today has gone well and you are not in too much pain. Sending you a very, very gentle hug <3

Safe journey tomorrow AnnG.

Yesterday and today haven’t been good days for me. Be back tomorrow.

Thanks Ann first time for me in Cornwall since 1919 or may even have been 2018. I love it too. There will be many 'memory' times I know.

Quite bright here ow 12 degrees and dry. I did manage a quick walk down to the book stall as it is only monthly now and I didn't want to miss it. Managed to get 6 I had not read. I was early and there were so many books there is was hard to choose.

Wish I would get the long tailed tits back, not seen them since they started building the huge estate up the road from here.

Morning All,

It's 11 degrees with that rainy umbrella here, but it's still dry just now. It was foggy here first thing too. I heard a wallop outside the bedroom window at 7.15am and it was the windowcleaner !! OH had to go and unlock the sidegate and it's a wonder we weren't in the shower with both windows open and having to cover our 'confusion!! :-0 lol.

Yes, we'll be thinking of Mandy today. <3 <3 Hopefully it is all done now, but I wonder how long she will be in hospital for.

In case I don't get chance to say before you go I hope you have a lovely break AnnG and get to see some gardens and have some nice meals. I am quite envious as this is only the second year in over 10 years that I have not managed a visit myself. :-) I love the beaches and natural wildness.

Mel's Cafe seems popular! I wish we saw more of the Long Tailed tits as they are so sweet.

Morning all,

Dry and still this morning but not very bright and pc says 8 degrees and cloudy.

Hsave just had the long tailed tits on the peanuts and when I got the camera they all flew away so I was putting it back onthe desk when the mum deer and fawn came through the garden. They've gone for their breakfast of apples in the orchard.

BIL should bring the batteries back today but I don't know what time he is coming so I better drink this and get ready.

O gosh Mandy you poor girl that must have been so much pain to have your wrists pulled. Wrist are funny cos they have so many lttle bones. Your poor face too. I hope you mend soon. <3 <3

Ooh Ouch Mandy Ah, of course you can't hold a book so TV will be best.

Ann I think the gardens will be open I can think of three in the almost immediate area and there are probably more. Yes a bit of everything has been packed from a t shirt to a thickish sweater.

You look in a bit of a sorry state to say the least Mandy and that sounds very painful having your wrists pulled to do the plaster. Hopefully that was the worst bit. I hope you have managed to get some sleep as it can't be easy.

Well OH is filling up the gaps on his bookshelves already, he got a book from a shelf selling books for charity in the factory shop (50p) and another book arrived from Amazon today (Half price!)

Afternoon All,

Good to hear from your one finger Mandy! You must feel pretty helpless being all plastered up, but best wishes with your operation tomorrow and for a quick recovery afterwards. <3 <3 xx

I didn't sleep well and was awake till gone 3.00am and now I keep yawning. We used another 30% off voucher for the carvery today so that saved any cooking.

That will be good to have a week there AnnG. I wonder if the large gardens in the area will still be open. You'll need to pack a bit of everything won't you. We had rain overnight but it's been dry and sunny since.

Vera I have got the Morphy richards soup maker. I tried it this morning but pressed the wrong button by mistake so hahad a very chunky instead of smooth, cauliflower, broccoli, courgette and potato in stock from the chicken I cooked on Sunday. soup. No problem though as I just liquidised it. I prefer smooth soups. Next time I will be more careful although I did think I had pressed the right one for smooth. I am impressed by how easy it is to clean.

BIL rang this morning and told me he was up the top taking the battery off the mower!!! Why he could'nt come down and tell me what he was going to od I don't know as he soon appeared down here. He's taken the battery to charge at his house as his other half needed picking up from work.

I was just settleing into some casting when he rang so that went out the window.
