Hi Ed
Duck 🦆 ty
I know what you mean about the books. I quite like a mystery,  not necessarily murder. My girls read fantasy and that's really not me. When I studied with the OU I had to read all sorts of books including sci-fi. Not my favourite. But i did find a lot of them very interesting.
I am packing again. On Sunday we are off to Torrevieja to visit friends. We are there five days.
Have a great Friday
Sun is out now. Library today for you?

Hi Ed
Did you get to the library? Is it another Joanna Nell? I just finished The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker.
I went Dogwalking but got caught in a heavy shower. Soaked to my underwear!
Hope you had a good day

splashed-- It is a overcast dull wet day soI will hibernate, Yesterday it was a lovely early morning drive over to the clinic. I don't know if it was because I got someone speaking clear english,but it didn't seem to take as long(of course an ultra sound is not invasive or claustifobic. Wsd still warm and nice when I got home so fed Sagwa mFed me and then went down to see if there was tea(No starts next Wed,) and then being a nice warm day went to sit outside.Lots to watch--ambulance at the other building and 2 police cars park outside. When I went to go down I heard someone pounding on a door and hollering something-so like the coward I am I quick scooted into the elevater and went down. But as  I was sitting enjoying the day 2 police officers came out of our building,the parked their vehicle end to tail so they could converse through open windows, A good half hour later the male officer came back in the building and being nosey I peeked and yes they went to the 12th floor Don't know what was going on but my door is locked and will stay that way .Other than that everything is calm and quiet, Have a good day and stay dry,

Hello Ed, you are wise not going down the path of the Newsagents demands. Don't give anyone your bank details. Newspapers are easy enough to pick up with cash from a local shop. I actually do not bother with newspapers now. Collingwood is playing Adelaide tonight in the prelimary finals. Fingers crossed

Hi Ed

Dark, wet and windy. Think it's autumn 🍂.
Took Jim for a blood test.
Did a lot of admin.
Hope you've had a good day

Morning splash-- white mouse and pink ty. A nice bright sunny morning for our drive over to the clinic. I will get picked up at 9:30 so seen as it is just 8 I have lots of time. Lucky travelers,we have sun today but the forecast is for 4 days rain so cram it all in today. Oh dear,you are going to have an interesting 2 weeks with the cats but it shouldn't be dull although you will really miss Tracey popping in. Dianne did not ask for a beehive but when I get to her I will send one if I can find any(maybe they ended the last of August. Must push on as do want to get the gardens done before I have to leave. Don't know if tea start today but will find out when I get back. Have a good and interesting day.

Hello Ed, TY for the White Mouse. Re. the bee hive, just go to gifts under the Help sign. It is a gift package. Haha I think you will find that I have sent you hundreds of gifts if you have never opened it. I love your father's paintings. TY for sending the photos to me. I recall you telling me about your mother fixing tapestries for museums. So I guess that you grew up in a family who loved art and craft. Wonderful! The photos of your father's work certainly inspired me this afternoon. And your talent for creating beautiful doll houses must have been inspired by your parent's art work. Did they ever see them? Have you ever had them valued? I am fairly sure they are worth a lot for collecters. If I lived near you I would certainly buy one. I always enjoy watching the Antique Roadshow and although your doll houses are not yet antique they certainly look collectable. Dinner now done and I will soon snuggle in bed with a book. Enjoy your day.
