Sorry to see this, it's always such a hard thing to do. Send my bests to your daughter xxx

So much harder when it's sudden like that. Madam Lexi is still chuntering away slowly, but then we've known the writing has been on the wall since the end of June, and that the surgery would only buy her time.

Thank you. I will.
We had him as a kitten, our old female cat tried to mother him but he resisted a bit. He was our daughter's cat but we looked after him for several years whilst she was living in a flat. He loved playing in puddles and couldn't understand why his feet got wet. He made friends with next doors dog and they would often play by our garden fence. He would attack the dog and she would run round the garden and come back for more. We will miss him.

I'm up but not planning to stay up. I'm on the edge of a cold so woke early, thirsty and with a blocked nose. This called for a pot of tea. Now 3 mugs in, I'm ready for sleep part 2.

It was pretty misty when I got up. Less so now.

Morning.
Sunshine with clear blue sky here.
Georgie has been in and had his breakfast, a couple of strokes and disappeared. He might have gone up to bed or gone back out again. It's like a hotel.

Good morning from Suffolk where, after a very foggy start, It's turned into another lovely and sunny morning. Coffee has been had and the recycling bin has been emptied and needs to be retrieved.

Today's tasks will be removing the old (knackered/damaged) camping chair & stools from the car, removing and scrapping the fabric so that the metal frames can be added to the next recycling centre trip and putting the replacement chair & stool into the car. I also need to get the clippers out for a haircut, do some food shopping for the next few days and, if the sun dries the back garden enough, give the grass a quick cut late this afternoon.

Lovely morning now.. Bonnie has been walked before a trip to the vets for her annual check-up 🐶

Chair & stool dismantled, grade 6 all over completed and a small yoghurt had for elevensies.

In good news corner, Greater Anglia have admitted incorrectly calculating the refund from the start of the month and I've got an additional £13 spending money.

Plenty of webs covered in water droplets this morning by the local lake. Wonderful.

Looked out of the kitchen window and the seed feeder was full. Next time I looked out it was half empty with the rest on the floor
Lunchtime car trip to the Co-op to return the Amazon slippers then into town for a pair from M&S.
Icing the twisted ankle seems to be working as no limping and notably my right foot fkat on the ground

I am sure there are people on this thread who have young children or grandchildren. Without getting political, I have a question about school libraries. This follows a speech at a party conference.

If schools have already closed their "libraries" to create another classroom, they presumably still do not have enough space. I would think that an easier option is to have a (large) bookcase/cupboard with a selection of books aimed at the age/ability of that class. I recall a scheme whereby big Libraries would loan books to small schools for perhaps a term. This ensures a turn around of books.

What do your grand/children have for a library?
