Here again.... in blackpropaganda

This week has been valuable for getting some things done since the normal structure has been affected by bank holidays etc.
So we were able to get the garden sorted - the lawns cut again so that they are ready for the rain which is forecast tomorrow - and bushed cut back - although there is still the danger of night frosts.

The bird feeders have been full for three weeks, but I have not seen any birds around using them - until this morning when two coal tits arrived - so hopefully yhe word will get a round that there are supplies on tap in our garden.

No more news of my old colleague - but concerned now about an old friend on OD and now PB who is very down - I hope things seems brighter soon.

I have had the time to paint some special cards for people who are reaching 80 next month - rather like a milepost with their age on - pointing out that this is not the end but there is still a future - and anyway they are both very active.

It is our last ballroom dancing session of the season - at least with our teacher - so I hope we can remember what we have learnt!! From slow waltz to rumba via the tango!! So doing a thank you card for her too. Busy times!!!!
