Kong Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'm OK thank you. I've noticed the same. Deathly silence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Does seem strange. Even the usual culprits are not posting. Perhaps they have been with the gilets jaunes this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suein56 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 What warmer climes ? We have had a great day here with lots of sunshine, blue skies all day and a superb sunset over the sea with the last of the birds jostling for space on a sea-surrounded rock whilst quibbling with their neighbours over the last available place.

woolybanana Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 They are all busy sacking the wine section of my local Leclerc, taking my favourite tipple. I dunno how the trolleys manage to carry such a weight.Still it is good for the restaurants in Montreuil sur Mer which badly a seasonal boost.

idun Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 No time this weekend.Lurkers, well, why even lurk, I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith-aka-Judith Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Sadly, not even had time to lurk ... varicose vein op last week, then instructed to walk 2 hours a day, at least, plus all the usual things to achieve in between, so it's been the computer time which has had to suffer .... plus I have an active diary this week, cannot drive pro tem (because of the op), so everything takes longer .... oh, and I have a washing machine which will not drain away, so I have to stay with it and empty into a bucket then the sink ... 10 month old kids are nothing in comparison .. ABLF! and can you imagine how many loads of washing there are when you have just returned from holiday???? All have which have to be emptied into a bucket ????

Patf Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Takes after his Dad, presumably.As far as I remember 10 months is a lovely age - they've outgrown just crying for the sake of it, so start to get around and entertain themselves. And saying a few words.You've got to childproof your house though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith-aka-Judith Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 [quote user="Patf"]You've got to childproof your house though.[/quote]When we were young, we aided and abetted each other to climb up the table legs (those bulbous ones on old furniture). After that the table was turned upside down. That's the sort of childroofing you mean, I'm sure Pat. ALBF, the thing about 10mths old is that they will grow out of that stage ... not sure how long the washing m/c problem is likely to last ..... could be a long time, given my OH DIY skills!
