When I feel depressed by the news in my phone, I turn to my local dog groomer’s Facebook page. This week it’s Halloween doggys showing off their new haircuts.

No, I didn’t think you thought it was wrong. I just wanted to reinforce that there was no other choice.
My great-nephew was one of the reception year cohort that had to stay at home, to his great disappointment.
The photo shows him (in the navy jumper) eagerly queuing on his first day back.

A lovely big donation at our Foodbank today. The harvest festival offerings from a local secondary school.
It’s great that these kids are learning about supporting their community.

A donation today of new laid eggs, straight from the hens, at the Foodbank where I volunteer. Fascinating colours, some pale blue, one green.
But to be honest, I didn’t have “Cleaning chicken shit off eggs” on my bingo card for today. Life is one surprise after another.

The elderly uncle of one of the staff at the Foodbank where I volunteer on Thursday mornings came in with this masterpiece today.
He regularly bakes cakes for us, but this was next level. Chocolate sponge with fudge icing and fresh raspberries.

I’ve been binge watching one of my favourite TV series this weekend. But I’m miffed as always that there’s no series 3.
A major theme is the mystery of the heroine’s lost mother, lots of hints and clues, but not resolved by the end of series 2.
So frustrating!

A peaceful moment in the garden earlier.
Bumblebee landed on my arm, had a little rest, then glided away again to do its pollinating.
