Prob won’t be able to do very much today but..! Happy weekend, one and all.

Morning CiF, fellow ORCs! A happy day yesterday as with the help of trekking poles I made it to the top of a small local hill in glorious sunshine. It’s been on my goals list for the past year. Today is my final Pilates reformer physio session (at least for now) so I’d better get going. Tea first!

I love this Graham Beck sparkling rosé which is pretty, pink and delicious, but there are also some lovely Italian Proseccos around in pretty bottles.

Morning! Just happened to catch this from my bedroom window. Fading but still visible now as the rain falls. A day of household chores, tidying up and and deliveries here.

Morning all! Anyone around? Sunny here and another day of tomato sauce-making beckons. This was yesterday’s haul. The sunflowers are also from the garden (but won’t be going in the sauce!)
Have a good one…

Morning all. All the ripe tomatoes picked yesterday, ready for skinning and cooking today. Let the sauce-making begin.

Morning Arm-Wap and #SORC s. Today is tomato-picking and sauce-making day (part 1). Lots of ripe ones, lots of unripe ones so there’ll need to be several batches this year…

Morning all! A clear and sunny one. Nothing on the agenda for the next few days - a perfect Bank Holiday! I suspect there’ll be lots of gardening. I made it to the river for my walk yesterday, which was lovely.
I’m happy to do Roll Call next week.

About harnesses - most cats hate them! But can be trained, you have to start really slowly, just putting a harness on, letting them get used to it indoors, then add lead, again, really really slowly. Here’s proof!
(Not suggesting you try this with Syd, but just to show it can be done.)

This was our NotMyCat. He was at least partly the reason that when we heard that he‘d died, we got our own Siamese, who led us a merry dance for years!

We would miss you. I’m sorry about the energy, I know how that goes. Sending you a hug and a birthday chocolate brownie - if there was any way I could get to you I’d deliver it myself.

Morning Guy, morning all. Blue skies abound! A good week for getting those big laundry jobs done and aired on the line. Hospital telephone appt at midday, otherwise laundry!
I tried this 0% beer at the weekend - Erdinger Weissbrau - and enjoyed it the most of anything else I’ve tried so far.
