What are you all up to

Good it worked! Transferred from OH's phone to mine. The grey bars spoil it though. 

Chris Bonnington….

Must be the time of year for it TG. I had a new porch canopy installed yesterday, replacing the ply one I built about twelve years ago.

Hard not to enjoy a stay in and around Keswick, Brue. You might need some waterproofs though.

Went out to the caravan just after 9 this morning passing the Mulberry tree en route. Only a few leaves down. Went back to van after lunch only a few leaves left on!  What happened? Brown bin day tomorrow so good timing.

Just about remembered my 6 monthly appointment with my kidney consultant. Not great but could be worse. Will see if a pattern emerging in 6 months time. Loads more worse off so Upwards and Onwards.

Bakers2  and Tammygirl sorry to read you have been feeling poorly,  best wishes for a speedy recovery.  My OH has also been feeling rather unwell, he has Shingles  he has been off work all week. 

Good Luck with the Christmas shopping in MK Millie, I've not even started to think about Christmas, 

Brue lovely picture, enjoy the lakes.

Been a quiet week, had a trip to the dentist, all ok, what a relief! 

Thinking of going to our local community food market tonight. Will have to try hard  not to spend too much!  always lots of lovely local produce to tempt me.

H&T, thanks for the best wishes.

Sorry to hear your OH has got Shingles, horrible thing to have, very painful, hope he is getting something from the Dr for it. I had it about 4 years ago and got it diagnosed straight away so got medication which made a great difference. 

Helen, so sorry to hear that your OH has shingles.  I had it some years ago and it is not at all nice.  I hope he has some medication and that it works quickly.  Luckily I qualified for the shingles jab a couple of years ago so hopefully won't get it again. Please give him our very best wishes.

Wherenext, I hope all goes well with your kidney consultant.  OH has similar and has a kidney scan on Monday with his next consultant appt in April. As you say onwards and upwards.

Lovely photo brue.

 They're  the  only  places  to  be  seen  at  my  age,  Brue 

Went today to see the Shrouds of the Somme at the Queen Elizabeth Park. When we last saw them on College Green in Bristol in November 2016, there were 19,240, representing the number killed on the first day of the Somme offensive. The concept has now been expanded and changed in that it represents the 72,396 killed on the Somme with no known grave. The area covered by the tiny figures is about the same as a football pitch. Almost unbelievable.

Also went to look at the lights in the moat. Very, very, very busy. If you are going, it took over an hour to get to a position where you could see them. At times the organisation left a little bit to be desired. They must have realised how popular it would be, and could certainly have published more information on the internet. However, it was well worth the wait. A very moving experience.
