dragonfly Very funny! Boy racer indeed... 
Tennis cancelled due to day of downpours. Poor folk who arrived only to be told to return tomorrow. Many long faces. However, good stuff in store tomorrow.
Greyduster I've said so before but...I love your sense of humour.
ann Voltarol is well recommended. The cost of relief, well spent. I'm relieved to hear that your back is less painful than it was.
granniequeenie There are many times when MacSporran gets the range of television "prodders" mixed up. Like your wee granddaughter, I have often come close to tears. Thus far, I haven't gone into meltdown. 
callgirl1 My cell phone is a relic. It doesn't take photos, it doesn't do apps (what are they, by the way?) but it receives and sends texts and it's totally reliable. One of my sons had fits of laughter when he saw it. Why? It works. End of.
Charleyg Rant to your heart's content. It's allowed. It's good to let off steam. Our kitchen embraces all emotions other than spitefulness. 
Urmstongran Snap! Another son used that very word. Retro! So be it.
I'm about to log off. Looking through the window is a scene of several shades of grey. I doubt that I shall have the opportunity to photograph a colourful sunset tonight. Not that I need to. I've a file containing hundreds of images taken over the last fifteen years. 
I am thinking of the Panaches and sending them uplifting vibes as they embark on a new chapter in their lives.
Back with you again tomorrow. TOYA 
Evening all !!
Oh dear Grey you're in the dog house !! Let him test drive the car … nod sagely when he discusses the merits of it and then say no lol Revenge is sweet!!
Soop I had to read out the bit about the ironing board to Grampy and we are still laughing :-)
I am very excited. Grampy and I went to the zoo on our own today ( I said it was because our little monkeys weren't here and I needed a fix lol) and I was very privileged to be asked if I wanted to hand feed the Red Panda!! Ive added a couple of pictures. What is it about being trusted by what is effectively a wild animal that makes you feel quite honoured? He was very gentle although apparently if you do not supply the grapes quickly enough he will leap onto your shoulder to steal them !!
Love the view GrannyQ - that's a cracker.
Grampy has finally finished the path to the West Wing and the step , so I have posted a picture to prove it !
Time to head off and think about cooking dinner...oh for a live in chef !!!
Evening All. Just back from a couple of nights away. It rained. Do I care? Nope! Someone else fed me, bliss. Saw some beautiful modern stained glass and enjoyed a walk along the Wye, buttercups everywhere.
No hope of catching up properly, brain isn’t functioning, I’m blaming Mr C who has developed man flu and is deafening me with his sneezes. Thank goodness there is a spare bedroom to retreat to. I may be sympathetic tomorrow .
We have similar experiences with cars greyd, my sympathies. Shall I send you my well practiced list of ‘reasons not to buy the car’, which if delivered with an appropriately sad expression convinces Mr C they were all his idea? I guess it could be very quiet chez duster this evening .
Delighted you can move again ann, not at all surprised your body gave you a reason to just stop.
Go for it charley, volunteers are to be valued not mistreated.
Oh soop, I’ll never be able to look an ironing board in the face again .
Nothing like the U.K. when the weather cooperates grannyq, we know Dorset well, beautiful county.
We’re using pillow cases that my ma in law had over 50 years ago, fantastic quality, they’ll be here after us .
Been thinking of you both panache, if you run out of time I can recommend using storage, it certainly helped us understand how little we actually needed, rather than kept just because we could.
I’ve a very early physio assessment tomorrow for the flipping shoulder, hooray, so time for feet up now.
TOYA, be good everyone.
soop . I had a secret suspicion that McSporran was into bondage! ?
Welcome home izabella, The stained glass is in Hereford Cathedral, it's far more beautiful than my attempt to photograph it shows. Well done feelingmyage, victory over IT glitches always deserves celebration.
Early physio for me, I do think a full of man flu Mr C should postpone his dental appointment, he thinks otherwise, my sympathy lies with the dentist.
I’ve got ironing to do later, will have soop in my head, can’t think why .
TOYA and be good everyone,
Good morning all xx
Today is the first day since our return from holiday that I have absolutely nothing planned - yippee!!
I have a confession to make, I was running late for the gym yesterday (as always?), slipped on my Birkenstocks (MawBroon ?). On arrival at car park, walking towards the gym I felt very uncomfortable in both sandals, when I came out of the gym had 4 missed calls from Mr.Gravy, rang him back and he wanted to know what I had on my feet. I had inadvertently came out in our cleaners shoes!!!! She is a size 6 I am a size 3!!!!!
Soop, I am smiling every time I walk past my ironing board.
Izabella take care with the dreaded "jet-lag", pleased you are home safe.
Beautiful photos.
TOYA
