Good morning from the one who sleeps late. We have actually had rain last night and again at the moment. Only very light and probably not enough to water the gardens, but it's a good sign (I think). The fire which threatened our caravan park and the little village was stopped by back-burning to meet it. It came right up to the road. The other side of the road had a row of homes, with the caravan park behind them - so that was a little too close for comfort, but thankfully they are safe now.

Looks like our Sue has been spoiled by the Bali coffee. Linda - you had better be careful how you prepare her cup. I wonder what else she has been spoiled with? You'll never get her back into the tent again if she makes another trip over your way.

Please give my best to Tec. I am thinking of him and hoping he and the duchess are both improving.

Ooh get you :-P

Coffee will be nice but after having some incredible coffee in Bali I will expect the best :-D

Well, I like coffee as well, so I will make one for you in the next commercial break. I am watching Downton

You keep telling yourself it's Ribena and lemonade Linda ;-)

:-D :-D :-D Linda :-)

I can tell the difference between ribena, apple juice and lemonade.
I don't like apple juice, but I am rather partial to a glass of vintage lemonade :-D

I thought that too, Mersey ;-). Where's your little pink moped - is it worn out? :-D

Sue she is such a secret Ribena drinker she cannot tell the difference :-D ;-)

Well, it is the same colour :-D :-D

Ribera, Linda - is that what you're calling it :-P :-D

Nearly time for Downton, so I must fill up my glass of Ribena and find some nibbles

Awww thanks Linda :-D :-D I was prepared this time!! :-D

Diane I hope you toothypegs is a little better :-( <3 <3 <3

Double boo back to you :-D

I did sleep well thank you.

it is freezing outside, white frost on the lawn and the bird bath is frozen

Goodnight, Linda - sleep well <3

It is time for bed here, so I shall bid you goodnight.

Enjoy a lazy day <3

I would concentrate on the shoes. I can't remember the last time I wore heels although I have a very nice pair of shoes with a reasonable heel.

I bought back a couple of nice summer dresses and skirts from Bali which will suit our summer as well as some cotton pants that my son calls "hippie" pants. They are very comfortable around the house on hot days. I also bought a really nice bag - I could have bought so many more but you have to draw the line somewhere :-D Everything is so ridiculously cheap that it is tempting to buy loads of stuff.
