Good morning Mick and all from Scotland’s Book Town. It knows how to rain here though we have still managed to get about.
Yesterday we left DS3 perusing the bookshops while we went off to Whithorn where we spent time in a little Scottish Heritage museum which had a fantastic collection of stone crosses. The visitor guide gave us detailed and interesting explanations on each artifact. We went in separately as Crazy dog wasn’t allowed in so the poor woman had to repeat herself. We then went on to St Ninians chapel but the caves which we visited years ago have collapsed, and are now inaccessible.
In the afternoon I took DS3 into the Gem museum. I think he preferred the cafe although he has quite a collection of gemstones and usually wants more. . We are heading back today and now the holiday is over we need to have a good talk about his future. He manages independently but being autistic he does have some problems with life!
Belated Birthday wishes Ash and glad your DH got the all clear.
Take care everyone. 
Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where the sun is shining but it’s chilly.
Yesterday at school one of my year 3 readers told me they had been “testing” baby food in their science lesson as they are learning all about how to look after babies
. She said “Honestly, I don’t know how they can eat it - it’s disgusting!” I think she thought they came off milk straight onto chicken nuggets😂!
Another came with a book on Anglo Saxons and we delved into BC and AD dates and why they were called Anglo Saxons (you would think that a book on Anglo Saxons would explain that, but no) and didn’t get much of the book read. I told her that in a village not far from the school, after a battle with the Northumbrians, King Ecgbert was declared the overlord of all England. There is a stone and plaque that marks the spot. We were truly going down a rabbit hole by this time! Good job she was the last reader. I do like it when I get a child with an insatiable curiosity. For them, reading is not a chore and a book is a tool, not just a book.
This morning, I have an another meeting with my FA to sign papers. This afternoon, writers group at the library.
Have the best day you can, folks.
Good morning all from the central south coast where the sun is now out and trying to dry up overnight rain puddles.
The weather was most obliging yesterday. It dried up to allow our dry wander through the garden centre and the ensuing planting of purchases. Then we had rain overnight to bed them in. A very pleasing task and especially as I found a black eyed suzie (Thunbergia). I had been waiting for them to come in to the garden centre. I grow it up a drainpipe which I see from the kitchen window and it flowers all summer.
Today DH is out on his usual cycle ride with his club and I shall get my choir music sorted ready for this evening. I am hoping that I can manage the uncomfortable chairs by taking cushions and using a music stand for my music folder. It is very heavy with the whole programme's music inside, in running order. My damaged arm doesn't like holding it at all!
Still no sign of our patio furniture - like your elusive plasterer GM and I suspect we shall have to demand a refund and reorder somewhere else. I hesitate to name the company but this is not the first time we have had delivery problems with them.
Thinking as always of all our GNs with troubles or worries of any kind and hoping for a better day for them all.
