eve Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Morning all. We have a bit of sun here so I'll be in the garden today I think. Needs a good tidy up after the wind and rain last night. I can't bear to be inside if it's a dry day. Hope you get to see your daughter today Suzeanna. I don't think you're being rash, I'm sure you'll all take reasonable care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 is it bed time yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 No but we are in the bedroom because it is warm and snug. Wispa is grumpy because we stayed home all day, but she wouldn't have enjoyed it if we had gone out as very wet and windy. I have just had a long chat with my old friend John in Wales. Very pleased to hear that he has a new dog, as his old one died at age 19 and he was missing her but thought he is too old at 85 to have another dog. New one is ancient greyhound, settled in well, loves a cuddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I love the oldies, you might have noticed its strictly soon, its high winds out there but ll be happy with that on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Lovely for your friend to have a new companion in his old age, Owl. They can dodder on together (assuming he isn't the still running marathons type of older man!) I've lost interest in Strictly, don't know most of the dancers any more and apart from a couple, the celebrities are nobodies so far as I'm concerned. We recorded The Greatest Showman the other night so we'll watch that.

I don't think he does much doddering, and the greyhound still has quite a turn of speed as well. So they are well suited. Both John's father and grandfather lived well past 100, good genes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted October 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 morning all. did you change your clocks? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Not yet. Bedside clock does itself as it is radio controlled. Will get round to doing the others, except for the car clock which is too fiddly so I just deduct an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020  My son texted me at about 8.30 to see if I was up, which I was, so we had a video chat for a while, which was lovely. Abby, my grand daughter, was close to her daddy as usual but her twin Jamie dashed up long enough to tell me he was playing his car game and then vanished again. I felt honoured he even stopped long enough to say hello! Philip developed a migraine not long after breakfast so he retired back to bed. I went to Tesco..took one look at the queue waiting to go in and aborted the mission and headed to Aldi instead! Luckily they are pretty close to one another so it didn't take me out of my way. Got back and he tottered back up and we watched the bikes we'd recorded. Other than that, didn't do a lot, so another nothing sort of day apart from seeing Mark and the twins.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hope Philip feels better tomorrow. Good to have video chats. I had a very social day talking to a number of birders on the reserve, 8 including my friend/colleague/lockdown survival buddy Trevor. No more than 4 of us together at any time though, so still legal.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
