That's one bouquet of white roses, ivy and laurel hand-tied.

And yes, there's meaning behind that particular choice.

Aaaargh, I hate it when an auction on the 'bay gets pulled for no reason with several days left to run. Especially one that I've spent a while doing some research on and was planning on putting in a bid.



And no, the item's not been sold. It's just vanished into thin air. That's the third time in two weeks.

Right, I'm off to the Land of Nod.

Nunnight one and all xxx

I'm up. Dog's tiddling in the garden. Tea's brewing.
There's quite a nice early morning sky as I look out of the kitchen window.

The seller noticed that it wasn't selling very well and so withdrew it before it went too cheaply. I've done it once or twice after being stung by someone who bid at the last second and got a bargain . Having learnt that lesson I tend to start them at a price where I won't lose much .
I had a good return on a Tamiya kit that my daughter bought at a garage sale for £2. It was a 1/12 scale model of a Honda F1 car which had been started . I had to go and rescue her from a supermarket where she had forgotten her purse . I told her that I would pay for her groceries as I had sold the kit . Her reply was .
"How much?".
It sold for £80.

Morning .
Milky sunshine here .
I have dug the lawnmower out of the shed but the grass is too wet at the moment. The grass isn't that long, it's some yellow flowers that are too high and we don't want them to seed.
I will be going out for a ride with my friends this morning.

Last night word came through that one of the kids at Beautiful Daughter's school hadn't come home and it later transpired he hadn't been seen since leaving for school (most children here walk to school from about six).

As he's about 8 this is a concern. Last night nearly the entire village mobilised and the woods were crawling with people on foot, motorcycle and bicycle looking for him with the police helicopter hovering overhead most of the afternoon.

Post script to this story. Elder Son was out until 1am with the fire department, when the call came through that the child was safe with his auntie.
Apparently they kept tripping over members of the public looking for the same child in the countryside. This was pretty annoying but it's good to see how half the village mobilised in an emergency.

Good morning from a mostly sunny Suffolk. Up and about a bit early to head out for a day out in Cambridgeshire so the first cuppa of the day has already been drunk.

Did anybody order a late night downpour yesterday as it was delivered here by mistake?

Probably wrong post code !

Not me. 35c yesterday and it'll be the same today. Not a cloud in the sky.



I'm back in Yorkshire on Sunday so I'm expecting to get soggy next week.

Bright sunshine and light winds today so must get out on trike.
May try Loch na Keal route but probably choked by touroid twitchers looking for sea eagles and harassing otters.

WFC today (working from the caravan). MrsF has nabbed the spare monitor, so I'm stuck with my little notebook screen.

Bit wet over here, but no better at home. Llandudno tomorrow as daughter wants to track down some Manga books she is after. I suspect she'll need to order them on-line.
