Evenin', all!
Greetings from very chilly Lincs. It's been a beautiful October day but wow, what a difference when the sun set. Still, I'm not grumbling as we'll be all nice and snug behind our new state-of-the-art double glazing. It looks good, and LK has had such fun, rediscovering the joy of cat flaps. I think she couldn't quite believe it at first and kept looking at me and miaowing, then looking at the flap and miaowing a sort of question mark. It was as though she was asking permission to use them ... Aaaah! The fitters were two lovely guys and they'll be back on Friday next week to do the kitchen windows which, for all sorts of complicated reasons, aren't ready yet. Tuesday, the fitters are coming to put up the new blinds - not before time as the old ones are falling apart. After three days of staying in, it'll be good to have a chance to get out tomorrow, even if it's only for a few top up groceries.
Maggieh, I read your comments about Logan's harvest festival and, while I can see that the canned food is all very practical, I can't help thinking the children are missing out. When I was Logan's age, all the kids at school loved harvest festival with its baskets of apples and spuds and parsnips, carrots, onions etc and loaves of crusty bread, home made jams and chutneys and so on. It was all given away to charitable causes but the school smelled so lovely, a sort of mix of earth and fruit, while it was all gathered there.
Spoke to Daughter today. She's progressing quite well and doing lots of walking; a little concerned that the operation incision hasn't closed up properly and is "weeping" slightly. She's seen her GP who prescribed antibiotics 'just in case' and it's being monitored. She's cheerful enough so I'm trying not to do Anxious Mother.
