Very impressive archway @dunelmGood afternoon everyone from a bit of a dull and lazy day here in the dark and dangerous north. Out for family dinner experience yesterday so the 6.0 on the test of lies is not so bad. Packing today, amongst other things. Staying in Manchester tomorrow night and then Monday is the Manchester Airport Security Queue Experience. It’s a bit like camping out all night to get the first new LP or is it phones these days. Art bit - adding some details. Have the best afternoon that swings your way. I shall probably have a go at power napping.

Hugs for the nightmare of changing your email address on all the different places @AnnbBeen having problems with e-mail addresses recently - my old one seemed to have been compromised so I changed it - no problem, Neil did that for me but trying to get organisations to let me change it proved, in some, impossible and in others requiring intervention by support staff. Carson had to do it for me on diabetes uk, and I have just spent half an hour getting someone to change one of my Royal Bank of Scotland accounts. Now I can close off the old one and just ignore those website that failed to offer support (eg Littlewoods with whom I must have spent thousands over the almost 60 years I have been buying from them). In the end, it only took half an hour for the bank to sort it out for me. Pretty good going RBS!
Edit. Belay that comment. I just tried to test it by logging in and it won't let me. I'll leave it for a while and then try again.
Smashing. Thank you for posting. It was my sisters funeral today. We had a video link. Everyone wore orange or red as they were her favourit colours.Fbg 6.1

Creative is a digital painting in Procreate.
There is a red rose in my front garden. It is tatty with it being winter, but there is nearly always a red rose by J's bench. I put the bench there for J and my Hearing dog for the deaf, Meg. I bought this red rose bush because it always has a beautiful perfume no matter how tatty looking the rose. I can smell it from indoors where my couch is by the front window. It is a very dull, cloudy dreary day weatherwise here. So, I thought I would paint my red rose, because it is always the bright colourful spot in the front garden...
Time for a cuppa.
You have your best day...

Fountains AbbeyHi @dunelm,
Could be the remains of Tintern......old stone work takes of lot of beating, I like the rich red sandstone of the Solway basin.
We found an Inglenook fire place covered up when we restored our fire place and the mason had some stone he retrieved from a disused railway bridge in West Cumbria and the lintel and sides are made from this peachy coloured red sandstone.

Fountains Abbey - we used to go there a lot when we were children

No no no. I won fair and square.ah, but did he let you win?
Oh dear to train travel regressing. I still remember the overnight slow train (many eons ago) that took nearly 12 hours through Wales.Good morning everyone on a bright and sunny start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. The word ‘matinee’ had been mentioned and Mrs Miggins is taking the girl in the bubble to a screening of Frozen. She has only seen it a mere 10, 000 times but now needs to see it big style. I shall stay at home and lazily pack my bag. Off to Manchester this afternoon, up over Saddleworth Moor. I would have gone on the train, you can get a direct train from here to the airport but alas, it’s now 4 changes due to regressing towards the 19th Century. Art bit - some more details, slow and steady. Hope you day is a good one, I simply must have koffy.

That's called active rest not being lazy. Maybe don't have the ice bath though.A lazy day today. Reading and gentle walks around our village and of course coffee.
Definitely no ice baths. An ice bath would be my ultimate nightmare.That's called active rest not being lazy. Maybe don't have the ice bath though.
Do not waste your precious energy to put the kitchen to rights just so that it looks good in case someone calls @AnnbI'm just having a rest, so indulging in one of my favourite pastimes - chatting to you guys.
Need to rest because, having pulled out of a regular Zoom meeting, feeling quite unwell, I wouldn't be surprised if one of my friends turned up here today. There is a young Indian man who needs a driving license (I think he is a doctor at the hospital) so she takes him out and about in her car for practice drives and, once in a while, ends up here for a cup of tea. She has done this in the past with other learner drivers - most recently Syrian refugees being housed in Stornoway.
She came last Sunday with him and brought an electric blanket which she asked Neil to check over for her and fix, if possible. (He says it is unsafe and not to be used. It needs just one small part to fix it, but he doubts if that part is available these days, or if it were, would probably cost more than the blanket is worth.) She said she would come back and pick it up. I imagine that will be today.
Problem is - because I was feeling unwell and unable to do anything, the kitchen is pretty much a disaster area and it simply must be put to rights - just in case anyone calls in.
FBG 12.9. Went low late in the day yesterday and I ate a wrap with ham. So, of course, it went high by bedtime - and stayed high.
