Today's forecast: 13C/55.5F - sunny day. Yes indeed, although it started with frost this morning, so I'm really glad that I covered up my lemon trees last night to protect them.  I have been able to put the laundry out on the line to dry outside which is good ( Read more... )

It's monthlydiaryday so I shall write up today in more detail later. However Lj is still here and I'm pleased. I belong to a comm who held a Gay Rights Day and the moderator received Russian death threats as a result. When they contacted Lj support they were incredibly helpful and supportive. In their words the people running Lj are 'good people'. I'm glad and I' ( Read more... )

Thanks to all those who sent me happy birthday messages both here on Lj and on Facebook and via email - it was really lovely to hear from everyone ( Read more... )

Crickey! Where does the time go?  Quick update:

• Doctor Who was watched. We liked Jodie Whitaker, but it's a shame that the previous companions have all gone - I love it when they make comments about the new face (and now new gender!).

I'm feeling a lot better than I was and I've been pootling around the garden this weekend, planting out a few shrubs I'd been growing on in pots into the main garden. It's been very warm again (especially today when it reached 25C/77F) which hasn't helped when you don't feel well, but we've all be resting and taking things slowly ( Read more... )

Just ignore yesterday's post. I was feeling crappy and tired and I very nearly 'flounced off' which I am not known for! Today I am much more sensible ( Read more... )

They were really clued in about their rights, but somewhere along the line completely forgot there were responsiblities that they had too. This is shown so much ( Read more... )

29: What's something really cute that one of your friends does and is totally endearing?I've got nothing. I suppose because most of my friends are over 21 and I wouldn't describe much they do as 'cute ( Read more... )

We were quite busy yesterday and I forgot to post my happy thing again!

Yesterday's happy things were twofold... one was that we spent the day with Eldest Cee in Brighton which was great fun.  It was nice to see him and it's been a while.  We went to the Sealife centre and looked at all the fishes and the sharks.  It's quite a tiny place ( Read more... )
