Hi Bucket  How are you today?

Doing ok but I didn’t get the one day of good weather I was promised  

Clo kept the sunshine and the cloud cover was almost claustrophobic 

Sorry to hear about your friend

Hi Bucket!   How's the weather today?  

Showers today - no plans to go outside but maybe I will be lucky. Keeping fingers crossed

How about you? The news about your friend will take a bit of getting used to

Hi Terry, the weekend has been great, busy, but great. I had a phone call Friday and the news I was given has been confirmed by post today. Another letter received had good news too. Two of the grants applied for have been passed, now we just have to wait for the cheques to arrive. Part of the weekend was spent deciding which projects we should spend money on first, prioritising them in order of importance.  

 Congrats

My new story is posted. As usual, I am very nervous about it.    

And, as usual, the comments posted show you have nothing to worry about!  Sit back with your favorite brew and enjoy the success.

We're doing well, thanks. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. 

I spent several hours yesterday with a notepad and pen, trying to think up a name for my lemon tree. Should I go for something silly? Poetic? Or maybe I'll be quirky and give the plant a human name, such as Steve. After writing down and scratching out as many names as I could think of, I was at a loss. Naming human characters is easier. Max looked at the notebook from over my shoulder, then looked at the tree for a moment. He then announced that the tree is non-binary, and their name is Lem. He spoke with all the imperialism of a king issuing a royal decree. 

So, Lem it is. 

Smart kid Max.  I like the name.

Afternoon Mister T  Sorry to hear about your friend. 

My weekend was lazy and uneventful. I stayed home crocheting and binge watching old seasons of Grey's anatomy.

Thanks Clo!  Sounds like you had a relaxed weekend.  How's Looping?

Hi, Drew!  Thanks!  Good to hear you got some rain.  Your part of the country is usually hot and dry, right?  Since Page is sharing Max stories, why don't you catch us up on Yayo?  😀

Thanks, Bucket.  I understand the cloud cover comment.  It's been raining and not a spot of sunlight for over a week now.  At least it's warm.

I'm doing better today.  I kind of broke out of my funk and started reading again.  I think I may make it out to shop today and go for coffee.

Funny, but I thought the same as Bucket!  It does look great so it could be you just couldn't wait to try it.
