Blogtober - Post 18! 🤯 🤕 🍁

-

    Hey-ho peeps. I've had a headache since last night and it still hasn't shifted, not even after taking paracetamol. I should have known something was going to happen when I thought the lights were too bright when we put them on. Lesson learned.

    Today has been another bright and sunny one and I actually stepped outside to take a couple of photos. I know, wonders will never cease.

    The garden next door has an acer in it, right against the fence,

and I thought it looked very autumnal in the afternoon light.

    And although most of the flowers in the garden are over, there are still a few Lavatera in bloom,

isn't it a lovely pink? I love the little pom-pom centres these flowers have, and when we've had them in the past the Bumble Bees used to get so dusted in pink pollen they looked like a new species!

    Oh well, I have to publish now or there won't be any of the 18th left.

    See you tomorrow!👋😀

    That looks like a stunning acer tree you have in the garden next door. The thing about gardens is that you sometimes get to share whatever is close to the fence - not always a good thing though if it's nettles and brambles and not lovely acers! :) xx

      But we should try and remember that brambles and nettles are very important to all sorts of wildlife. I'm not sure that some of our neighbours like what we've got against the fence. We've had one tree die quite suddenly, and I'm a bit concerned another is on the way out too!

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio
