Do you miss seeing steel worThank you @gennepher and yes, all this exercise will certainly cut down my fuel bills
Do you miss seeing the steel works on the skyline, Dunelm?
Of course they will be a week or two clearing up the site.
Looks like the rain is starting to build up in Cumbria and autumn temperatures seem to have come early.
Very nice pictures of stonework recently.

Hope JKP and MIL's symptoms are not too horrid. Good that the bank put back all the money.Morning all on the day of the actual or virtual London Marathon. Hug for the chesty cough but winner for the increasingly beyond majestic art @dunelm. I hope the Tom Yum soup and ginger work. Ginger is very much on my detest list so I've never considered such a brew as @jjraak suggested. If the need arises perhaps a never say never attitude would be worth considering? The go to in my family was hot lemon, honey, blackcurrant, cinnamon, mace and rum. @gennepher thanks for the creative and what ungrateful sparrows. MIL has somehow contracted COVID as well as being scammed out of lots of money.The LFT JKP did showed a small/thin line, we've never seen one, her symptoms are not severe and she has had the latest installment of jabs including flu. Bank put back all the money, blocked account and offered an extra layer of security. Lovely autumnal day yesterday weather wise but not so sport wise . Spurs, Cambridge United and Leicester Tigers all lost. In the case of Spurs and Leicester to the very teams I dislike most. As I type a mum and dad are pushing their son around the LM course in a bed like wheelchair so there are always unexpected inspirational gifts from Our Maker. @Annb hug for the potentially problematic dropping off but that prayer must have been well received to keep you safe. Enjoy your day but stay physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally safe whilst allowing everyone else the same blessings.I
Early on I fell for a scam when I was really tired. They were trying to get my password. I realised it was a scam just after I pressed send. Luckily I was so tired I had put in the wrong password - so all was OK.These scammers have a lot to answer for. Their acts are purely evil. It really shakes your confidence to fall for a scam, whatever your age, and you begin to mistrust your judgement of everything. I fell for the one of these early purporting to come from the fraud department of the bank, early on in the development of them. I got my money back, but it was a harrowing experience. I feel so sorry for your MIL and hope she is able to get over the shock (and in my case the shame of having fallen for it). I was supposed to be smarter than that!
All prayers much appreciated. He is much better today and is eating. He had a lovely gentle walk in the sunshine yesterday.You got this Archie this whole thread will be rooting for you but prayers never go amiss.
03.10You have a very young kitten?
Congratulations @SlimLizzy
I don't have any special tips about litter training. But I would put a newspaper under the tray.
I cannot remember training kittens. It was that long ago. But I did keep a close eye on a kitten in the first few days, and I took it to the tray every time I thought it may be thinking of doing something and scrabble its little paws in the cat litter...
Good luck x
Utterly despicable these scams and can cause so much mental anguish. Good that the bank acted quickly but the trauma is very real. I hope that her fortitude helps over time.Thanks. JKP is taking Sunday lunch to MIL which she offered to do last Sunday but the offer was declined. MIL is aware of my treatment and we assume she was trying to protect me by not passing on her, at that stage we thought, cold to me via JKP. The scam has shaken her. For the first time she feels she now needs help.and is talking of selling up and living with us as she made her own mum, who lived to be about 2 months shy of 100..Perceptible change of attitude.
Edited to make it, vaguely, intelligible
SmashingI have stone stairsView attachment 56699 like these, but with glass doors, not the impressive archway. Ok took the photo. Now to try uploading it.
It’s slowly being transformed - some people wanted to keep some of it but were, of course, not willing to cough up the money to do so. Some things change and some things stay the same.Do you miss seeing steel wor

Agree, it's troublesome of late.Can't understand why when posting words get missed?
Not a friendly site, operationally speaking,now.

Yes, it is watch with eagle eye, and swoop and scoop the little kitten into the cat tray. and saying some nice words even though there may be a trail of something as you are transferring it to litter trail @SlimLizzy03.10
8.35am FBG 5.6 had been up about an hour before remembering to test so may be an element of DP here. Its decades since I had a kitten and I don't remember having to train them. This kitten though has been at least partially barn raised and is not really familiar with the idea of a litter tray. She does get put in the tray frequently but has not yet worked out walking to the appropriate place. Usually she squats and I scoop her up and pop her in the tray. Partial success I suppose.
I have refused three offers of a cat or kitten, including one the day before I heard about this particular kitten. My plan was to wait until after Christmas and adopt an older cat from a shelter. Pfft. Best laid plans and all that.
Sob story with pic attached and it was an immediate Coup de Coeur.
MrSlim was not so keen - he suggested calling her It. Of course she has tugged at his heartstrings since then...
Dark and brooding...I like the art bit @dunelmGood morning everyone on quite a late start here in the dark and dangerous north. Marathons yesterday and well done to anyone who participated and even crossed the finish line. I used to run half marathons when I had a body that cooperated and did once try running a marathon - just the once mind. I have a friend who lives in LA, same age as me, and still runs marathons. Mind you, he is from Leeds. Doctors surgery again this morning - blood pressure check up.
Art bit - a bit of sepia added - nearly put C-3PO!! Koffy is on the go and it is a brand new pack in the koffy can.

I get a lot of silly things like these error codes @jjraakAgree, it's troublesome of late.
I keep getting error codes.
Tried to change theme, see if it was that..
Apparently sometimes I don't have any profile.
Nice.
Have reported to admins but no reply.
Suggest any posts like yours should tag in @Administrator or any mod @Antje77 @Jaylee
Seems to be a more general issue then just my mobile.
