Good morning twix - well done, nicely off the mark!!

How’re things with you & Mrs twix ?

Hi Ellie, yes I’m wondering about the flock of game birds, can’t find a ‘brown’ ….maybe is it just referring to the colour ? Odd though.

Hi Steff, 'Brown Betty' Teapots

Hi Steff.
I'm not too bad thanks, although a cold I had last week has left me with a niggling cough. Mrs. T. isn't too good at the moment. I think that the Covid she had last summer has left some nasties that the doctors haven't properly diagnosed yet. Trouble now is trying to get appointments at the surgery, each time you call you get offered a telephone appointment in about 2 weeks time, whereas she needs face to face followed up with a proper treatment plan!

How are you coping with your changeable weather? I presume you will be beginning to prepare for the autumn garden maintenance soon!

I’m sorry to hear about Mrs T, these things have a way of hanging about and it sounds like your nhs is really struggling - ours is a bit haphazard to be sure ….4 weeks to get a face to face appointment…now people just seem to head straight to A&E.

I’m sort of coping out in the garden - seems I’ve strained something in my hip and having some physio on that, makes tackling the back stairs a bit of a challenge :(

[twix123]

Take care of your back Steff, it's the only one you've got ;-)

I try to protect mine by doing as little as possible in the garden, although the lawns need cutting more often than I like. Didn't get a lot of growth during last summer, with little rain, and I won't waste water on them!

With that, now is about time to climb the wooden staircase to Bedfordshire. Good Night all.

Sleep well, I’ll see you later :)
