Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Wet.

Normal service resumes! Also Peter checked out and then installed an adware blocker which seems to have got rid of that annoying malware that redirected comments to ads. However spellchecker is still on strike.
I'm pleased to report that the antibiotics are taking effect, just the visit to the dentist on Monday to see if it's a tooth problem. As can be seen from the photos today has been a grey day with almost constant light rain. A shame for people coming down for the Bank Holiday weekend.
There's still plenty to do indoors and today I carried on with unpicking two smaller curtains to provide the fabric for the study curtain. Only one seam left to do and then I can make up the curtain. While I worked I watched the sparrows feeding on seeds on the terrace. Later in the afternoon the boss builder came round with the price from the specialist chap for the glass balustrade. It's eye-wateringly expensive which we had expected. About three times the cost of paving the terrace with stone slabs. But there's no point in trying to skimp on the quality as the glass and fittings have to stand up to the winter storms which as we've experienced can be quite ferocious. Also the terrace will be an important living space  from where we can enjoy the view and watch the world go by. 
The apple cake has nearly all been eaten so this afternoon I baked a lemon drizzle cake. looking forward to having a slice this evening.

Wednesday's sunset. I've just heard the weather man say that from Sunday onwards it's going to be high temperatures with unbroken sunshine and high UV levels. That's me stuck indoors then.
