Just wanted to cheer you all up from our cottage!
I have a question for ya - if we come, like, one weekend a month, and the spiders live here full time, who is the rightful inhabitant and would it be fair to disrupt their carefully built structures? :-)

Hello, everyone!

Helia, your home sounds very welcoming and homely (I mean that in the English sense as a compliment that everyone visiting would feel at home. I think traditionally the word has a different meaning your side of the Pond?)

Bama, it's a standing joke that the cats get far better health care than we do. :lol: Freddie is not at all repentant and was also affronted because his supper was late! I shall be having a chat with the vet on Tuesday about his behaviour - he *has* to have his dewclaws clipped, as otherwise one in particular risks growing into his paw. :shock: I'm thinking along the lines of a little extra "chemical" assistance, in the form of a capsule of Gabapentin which acts to relax cats. I know this sounds extreme, but we need to break the cycle of everyone getting so stressed!

WTG with your list, L.Ann. How long will DD40 and her family be staying for?

Trissie, I guess the spiders have squatters rights? :lol:

Laura, WTG persevering with your crochet. Sending birthday congratulations to DS nearly 16!

Hi, Peaches!

It's been a very good day. I had a nice time in my garden - it was soggy, but not as bad as I expected - and tried out my newly sharpened shears. Ive also swept the steps that were covered in wet leaves. Indoors, Ive done another couple of drawers in the bedroom - I'm slowly making progress. I've prepped lunch for tomorrow and made a coffee cake.
