Shorts stored away. Tomorrow sandals will go in their box. Our 60+ polo shirts are ready for the store cupboard (what a pair we are!). Yikes, it was still summer today but autumn arrives at 02.00. Argh 😖
-
Here the latest crops have been planned and are facing a wash out. Don’t think large-scale farming, it’s all family-owned fields and, sadly, overuse of fertilizers to get four crops a year apart from the orange trees which are coming into their own.

Here ten days of rain arriving tomorrow 😱 and nice weather for Chris in UK!

Just booked trip to see my sister in January. 😁

I’m in a good mood! On Sat we booked a midweek stay up near a ski resort (no snow yet so cheap!) with friends. Hope the dogs behave…. Today I’ve reserved a week in prePyrenees for Christmas in a village called Beget, in Girona province in pre-Pyrenees. V antisocial but it avoids drunken family arguments about Spanish right wing politics. Don’t know if I want snow (v pretty etc) or easy journey (the village is five miles off the main road with a steep incline 😱). The joys of retirement or lunacy…

134,000 words of emotional rollercoasters. Easily one of the best stories of the 600+ I’ve read here over the years. if it were a physical painting one would be struck by the intensity of the colours, here it’s the intensity of emotions - a complete palette of them - hidden, suppressed, unacknowledged, feared, and at odd moments expressed, that makes this, for me a truly very good piece of writing. kudos to the author and, like Oliver Twist, my bowl is empty and I’m hungry for more of @andy cannon’s writing. Thank you.

This says it all: And someday, when the stars return, and the sea breathes calm again, I will come to you

An exquisite piece of prose, @andy cannon, truly beautifully written.

Still fresh after 19 years! 🎃

Britain paid off the last of the loans used to pay for the Napoleonic Wars in JuIy 2015……

Just booked a three night jaunt to mountains 100km away. I could get used to this retirement lark!
-
Another v moving piece of writing. This story is so good.

My dad once tried to explain what cricket was about to the S African wife of a cricket fanatic. He failed. As had the husband during 30 years of marriage.
-
Ok. I’ve tried to struggle through some weird messages about some kind of “sport” but can’t see the words cricket, soccer or rugby….. um. 😐 Happy St Francis’ Day to my beloved Paco and to the memory of a v special pope who did his best.

35°C ( 95°F) here on Friday. This is crazy. The fields around us are still flooded, there is a forecast of a four-day front on its way and, of course, there is no problem globally…. and we get sunburnt in October.
-
Got seven so feeling AWESOME 🤩 ha, ha. After red alert this week we have another four-day front arriving v soon. As our farmers/market gardeners grow 3-4 crops a year, any uncontrolled rain is a disaster. Irrigation is by channels first established by the Arab invaders 1500 yrs ago. Amazing.

Absolutely. You have expressed was I was trying to think of but with more clarity!
-
I think, perhaps, the Captain has to choose Vane for a variety of reasons. A good test in theory but now affected by Vane’s choice of Blake. Um this might end in tears, as my grandmother used to say…

100% agreement here

It would be fun if Casey turns out to be a power bottom but I doubt that the Pretty Boy would want that!
-
Your life would be so dull without his antics!

Exactly, well put. A really nice tale.

Goodness, there’s a lot to unpack here. Another revealing chp. “The Freshmen” has got a whole lot more intense, if that were possible. Thank you Mark gary
