Hello everyone.
Paul and Hannah were planning to take me to Totnes for a wander round today. I'd been browsing keyboards - got a hanker to have a fiddle with one and been looking on marketplace. Just missed what looked like a good deal and while they were in the sea yesterday I was browsing again and found another one at Saltash (on the way to Totnes) and after messaging arranged to collect it this morning. So I put the alarm on as it was supposed to be an early start, missed breakfast and was ready waiting --- and waiting. They came eventually and off we went. One minute it's raining, next minute dryer, next minute lashing down and unable to see through the rain and spray. It changed from second to second. Amazing weather. Got to Saltash and collected the keyboard then Paul had also got a collection from Gunnislake ... another detour round. Collected that and went in the back way to Totnes, missing the tolls. Luckily it was dry walking round Totnes ... not much open but we had a wander. Drove back mainly dry but lashing down when it rained. Some odd weather. Had a meal at a pub and home again.
Needle punching is hard work Hazel. I will finish (hopefully) the bee and that will be it !!!!

Good morning, we had a long day yesterday a lot of driving but my step daughter cooked a fantastic roast beef lunch the best I have had in years.
We are taking my mother for to hospital soon for a check up on her bladder cancer which is always a bit nerve wracking for her she gets extremally nervous which makes everything worse.
Wet day here but yesterday although they forecast heavy rain we did not get any.

Hello everyone.
Its dry here but cloudy.
I'll be off to bowls this afternoon.
This morning I wanted to do some more end darning in the blanket, but the keyboard will be calling. I realised I hadn't got the music stand and when I contacted the seller her son hadn't handed it to me so she is going to post it. I used to play a piano when I was at school and actually won a scholarship to a music academy but then met Al and lost interest. I haven't played since then and I'm wondering whether there is any information left in the memory bank at all. Looking at the keyboard, I'm thinking not!!!
That's amazing that you didn't get any rain yesterday Starry

Good morning ,the morning has gone so quickly, Pippa came round for a coffee first thing and before we knew it it is was midday!
My mothers app. yesterday was not good she has now got cancer in one of her kidneys so we are going to have to make a few decisions as to how we go forward.
Diane have you played anything on your keyboard yet, I think you will find it all comes flooding back and you will surprise yourself.

Good morning, it is raining here, we might go into Chichester , there are a few things things I need to get , they have a market on Wednesdays and there is a stall with lots of garden ornaments etc, I want to get my daughter a Dandelion , it is made from metal and looks amazing it is very dainty , I saw it in the summer and thought it was a bit pricey , but having looked for one somewhere else I think it is actually quite a good price so I hope he still has them on the stall. Dandelions are her favourite flower , she has a flower bed under her oak tree and the colour is amazing.

Good morning everyone.
It's sunny at the moment but more, possibly heavy rain is forecast. It lashed it down through the night.
I've just got a little food shopping to do and that is me done for the day.
It was great fun at WI Craft last night. We tied a knot in a plastic bag, turned t inside out, blew it up a bit and dabbed it through paints and dabbed it on paper. Very effective.

Diane the plastic bag painting sounds like fun. We have had gale force winds and torrential rain most of the day, several pots got blown over and the trees are really losing their leaves now.
Not much on over the next few days , I have started doing some embroidery , it is years since I have done any so thought it would make a change , I think I will be doing some over the next few days .
