We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

going on a tour of Cuba. It should be quite hot and my plan to lose some weight after Xmas has failed dismally - I ate less but didn't get out more as the weather has been so non-great. We went there once before about the turn of the century so it will be interesting to see if anything's changed. More Americans perhaps.

I've always wanted to go to Cuba, to see the old cars and buildings and dancing everywhere!!

[jno]

not sure about the dancing in the street but the old houses and cars are nice (if they're still going)

Good evening...
Your post made me laugh jno, sounds like a lovely night out except for the tequila and Harry Potter souvenir. Have a good holiday.

I need some cheering up, I'm sinking into a slough of SAD. Mind you it has been sunshine and blue skies once the fog cleared. It's dropped dark very suddenly.

I think it's soup followed by jacket spud and chs for me tonight.

As Jno's going to Cuba I think she should donate the lollipop and one posh notebook to a poor person in Norfolk :)

[jno]

I've got one with Kissimmee on the cover ... it doesn't actually say "Quick" but that should still suit the Norfolk coast.

good sometime in the day all. I woke up this morning feeling sick and giddy and thought I was coming down with a bug. It turned into a migraine part way through the day. Cuba sounds lovely Jno, enjoy!

[netibiza]

Jno you can't just favour Norfolk!

[jno]

oh dear, woofgang, that sounds like an all-purpose winter ailment. I hope it's in the short-stay park.

[netibiza]

How are you feeling woofy? Hope the giddiness has passed, I had that and it was awful, take care and keep warm!!!

[woofgang]

thanks all, I took migralieve when i realised what was happening and its passing. I am at that stage where your head feels like a balloon

[jno]

it is zero degrees out there , real feel minus 3, but no fog and no flight cancellations and no train strikes.

[netibiza]

Bon voyage jno!
Good morning everyone! I've overslept! But nothing to do so no worries!!
Hope woofy is feeling better!

[woofgang]

feeling much better thank you bon voyage Jno.

[netibiza]

Good morning from a rainy Ibiza!
Where is everyone? Have you all gone to Cuba with jno? Why wasn't I invited!!!

[Robinia]

I'm here neti, it was too slow on AB on my tablet yesterday and I couldn't be bothered to fire up the big pc.

Morning all...bitterly cold again, rf minus 4C. There's definitely an imbalance in this gathering, jno flew off to tropical temperatures and I had to venture out to the dentist in Arctic temperatures yesterday, hmmph. It was for a deep clean and I was dreading it, it's been quite uncomfortable sometimes, but he was lovely, no problem at all.

Those headaches are horrible woofy, that's how I felt on Monday and I'd almost made my dental appt for that day but decided yesterday would be better.

Hope everyone's ok.

[netibiza]

Was the deep clean expensive Robi? I was quoted 450€ here so I declined!

[netibiza]

Had a lovely wintry walk along the seafront, skipping occasionally to my music! Bought some wire wool as Mr N took mine and I've needed it for ages, a scissor set, and some earphone with 5m cable for the bedroom! Well pleased.

Hello all
Another freezing cold day.It's warmer in the far north than round here and there's no way I would go on a wintry walk along our seafront atm although it looks as if there are a few hardy souls braving it.

Nothing doing here .Well done at the dentist Robinia and am glad you feel better now Woofy.
I wonder if we'll still be here on Monday or will our thread disappear in a puff of smoke.
That lollipop Jno sent is lasting for ages :)

[netibiza]

Why would we disappear Shaney? What's up?
Jolly cold at home this afternoon! I was in the kitchen till 5pm and that was fine but the fire just isn't heating the front room at the moment! My nose is cold!
