        Morning all :)

        Thanks for the get well hugs - I need them this weekend, as I appear to be in the middle of a flare up and currently have more pain than I know what to do with. Ho hum. I won't get a lot done in the garden today as a result, but I will get to sit and watch the birds trying to beat each other to the food on our feeder - we bought some energy balls for them, which are packed with nuts, seeds and fruit, and they were going mental for them last night; I don't think we have ever had so many birds in our garden at the one time.

        One job we will need to do is harvest from the gooseberries and loganberries - Mrs C did the rasps and blackberries yesterday:

        Weather looks as though it will be good today, so hopefully you all have a lovely day :)

            @Fat Controller sorry that you've been unwell. I didn't know that you was. Could you fill me in what it is?

              Currently awaiting diagnosis - the main suggestion at the moment being myasthenia gravis, however I have also had suggestions of rheumatoid arthritis through to fibromyalgia. Rest and rum helps :)
