I'm obviously outmoded. It seems the latest must have fashion accessory is a large pack of bog rolls. The bigger the better. Everyone has one, except yours truly.  I'm not expecting an, ahem, outpouring of the squittical kind so I don't see the point.

 

I'm told there was a punch up in our local Tesco yesterday. Bog roll related, possibly.  My fridge, freezer and cupboards contain the usual. I won't starve. I refuse to panic. In the meantime, it's decorating time, folks. Bach on the CD player, paint tins at the ready. Might as well do something useful!

BK Taken all the small ones out of the shed to give them the benefit of the sun , the big one is still covered away from the frost. Probably take it off tomorrow. The lemon trees ( bushes) have had a tidy up and we have 3 lemons on one with loads of buds coming through.

nonnaB, have you noticed the fragrance given off by lemon flowers? It is amazing. Orange flowers have a spectacular scent - which is extracted and used commercially but lemon is distinctly different. Have a sniff!.

Yes it really is lovely. Next door have about 5 trees that are in tubs and they put them on our dividing wall along with ours and the perfume is unbelievable. Can wait til they flower.

Yesterday I finally finished re-wiring the lovely Jane. She now has three core 'Antique Bronze' flex and switch, plus a proper earth.

 

I tried her with an E27 type white globe lamp but it's far too white and far too bright, so she'll have to wait for something more suited to her age and personality.  I'm thinking one of the new 'antiquey' type bulbs with bronze/brown coloured envelopes.. or a nice globe type shade..  She'll have to wait till after CV though.

 

Here's a pic:

I think she scrubs up quite nicely.  :)

Nicely done Col, I suggest if the light is too 'white' you try a 'warm' rather than a cool white and something like a Tiffany shade....

Had a 100% positive response today from fellow villagers/fishing pals. I have suggested that we have a 'distance tasting' session. Just to cheer us up and to keep us in good spirits.

Venue - my patio. Date - a sunny day soon. Time 3 pm. Each to bring a quality bottle of whiskey, their own glass and hand gel. We sit 2 metres apart around the table. We can pour each other a glass but no touching of another's glass or bottle. 

Guest to walk through fire pit on leaving. (I did not put this in the invitation).

Many congratulations, Albert and Barbara.   (And I thought Paul and I were doing well being married for almost 54 years!)

BK tried to post a photo of my wasgij puzzle from iPad and it didn't work. I did delete it but it came back, the sneaky devil.

Never mind Nonna, I'll  just have to imagine what it looked like. Being in home arrest, I have loads of imagination.

Take care, your servant ma'am.
