Good morning everyone.

It's a damp morning here.  

I'm off to Knit and Natter this morning then WI Craft Club tonight

Not yet Starry.  Not much seems to have flooded back yet. Practising scales and chords  Trying to get both hands to work simultaneously and independently 

Hello everyone.

Had a very early start this morning --- out by 9 a.m.  Went to Truro with some Knit and Natter ladies and didn't arrive home until gone 5.30.   Managed to get a few items I wanted in Dunelm.  Their stores aren't stocked as well as they used to be. Lots of gaps. I had checked my plug adapter and they said click and collect in two hours so I thought they had plenty of stock.  I couldn't find it at all but when I asked at the till they managed to find one for me.  I wanted a rubber outside mat but they hadn't got any so bought that on eBay when I got home.  Got a few tension rods for the Christmas lights this year.  Saw a post last year or the previous one that tension rods were used for Christmas decorations   They used swags and baubles draped round the rod and that gave me the idea for hanging the lights in the windows.   

We stayed mainly dry through the day but it was blustery and some rain fell and some heavy rain at some point when we were in the shops. 

We came back on the main road and with the A30 upgrade complete we sailed through onto the A30 when it can be a nightmare - up to 45 mins in a queue to get onto the A30.  That was Friday home rush hour too, so we were well chuffed.

Had the most delicious Mac and Cheese for lunch.  Every mouthful had me going mmmmmm.  Never had one so good before. Better than I would do myself. 

Evening all. Had a dry sunny day today but I felt really cold. I've had an extra duvet on the bed the last couple of weeks. I checked the thermostats in both zones in the bungalow and they were reading 20C but it didn't feel that warm, in fact I had to turn the heating on last night and set it at 22C. I've never had to have it that high before even in mid winter. I'm blaming the vaccine. I've never felt the cold in my life and never wore a coat or jumper in Cornwall since living here (over 50yrs) yet since having the vaccine my hands and feet are frozen most days and I'm needing to put the heating on more often. Weird.

Hope you all had a good day. 

Evening all.
I had a text the other day from the surgery asking me to book my covid/flu jab, they're mixing the 2 in the same syringe this year evidently. I'm not bothering with either this year. 

Been a terrible day today with wind and rain. One of my wood pigeons looks like he's been in an accident, the poor thing can't fly and looks like one of this wings is damaged. He was wandering around for 2 hours on the lawn at dusk looking for somewhere to roost as he can't fly up into the trees, eventually he managed to get into the magnolia which is nice and thick  but not very tall. At least he'll have shelter from this terrible weather tonight. He's far to quick to catch, otherwise I'd have caught him and taken him to the vet. 

I hope he makes it through the night bless him. 

I was thinking your wood pigeon was an ornament until I continued reading !!!
