    Good old Freddy @Jiffy. Wish we had one here. Snapped our Roland having a nibble on something last night.

                    This is his best composition, IMV.



                    And this is so funny if you are familiar with his style!

                        For a while I've been feeling rather weary and haven't bothered much with forums, or anything else to be honest, but today I feel better.
                        I don't know what caused it and I don't know why I feel better today, but I do :smile:

                          I'm happy after having my hair cut, plus the washing is drying nicely outside.

                            Wondered where you were Michael but so pleased to hear you are feeling better.

                            I have periods like that too but think it is because I am not as active as I would like to be. Then I take One step.jpeg .

                              Picked a big bucketful of loquats off my solitary tree. It's always a gamble as to whether the flowers and fruit will survive winter but they certainly did this year :) An added plus is the total lack of wasps and frelons disputing their ownership with me :yahoo:

                                A few days ago one of our hens went AWOL. I've found her outside the potager once before and herded her back but this time no sign.

                                Today she was back and keen to have her share of their daily sweetcorn treat. Casual as you like!

                                OH and I will be 41 next month.

                                Glad you've perked up @Michael Hewett.
