Thursday. A wee touch of frost this morning. Winter's chill tendrils are looking for targets.
The session at the hospice went well...I think so anyway.
Domesticity today, well, that's the plan anyway.
Have a happy day everyone.

“And what might that be?” said Mother, seeing the obvious excitement in her eldest daughter’s eyes.
“Well,” replied the daughter, with a proud but sheepish grin, “I’m getting married!”
The other daughters squealed with surprise as Mother Potato exclaimed, “Married! That’s wonderful! And who are you marrying, Eldest daughter?”
“I’m marrying a Russet!”
“A Russet!” replied Mother Potato with pride.
“Oh, a Russet is a fine tater, a fine tater indeed!”
As the family shared in the eldest daughter’s joy, the middle daughter spoke up. “Mother? I, too, have an announcement.”
“And what might that be?” encouraged Mother Potato.
Not knowing quite how to begin, the middle daughter paused, then said with conviction, “I, too, am getting married!”
“You, too!” Mother Potato said with joy. “That’s wonderful! Twice the good news in one evening! And who are you marrying, Middle Daughter?”
“I’m marrying an Idaho!” beamed the middle daughter.
“An Idaho!” said Mother Potato with joy. “Oh, an Idaho is a fine tater, a fine tater indeed!”
Once again, the room came alive with laughter and excited plan for the future, when the youngest Potato daughter interrupted. “Mother? Mother Potato? Um, I, too, have an announcement to make.”
“Yes?” said Mother Potato with great anticipation.
“Well,” began the youngest Potato daughter with the same sheepish grin as her eldest sister before her, “I hope this doesn’t come as a shock to you, but I am getting married, as well!”
“Really?” said Mother Potato with sincere excitement. “All of my lovely daughters married! What wonderful news! And who, pray tell, are you marrying, Youngest Daughter?”
"I'm marrying a she, Momma"
"That's ok. We Potatoes are not homophobic. Who is it then?"
“I’m marrying Clare Balding!”
“Clare Balding?!” Mother Potato scowled suddenly. “But she’s just a common tater!”
“And what might that be?” said Mother, seeing the obvious excitement in her eldest daughter’s eyes.
“Well,” replied the daughter, with a proud but sheepish grin, “I’m getting married!”

Good morn Boaty & all, hope you all are well? Boaty I need to say this as I never give it a thought about my response to you yesterday!! I have a very strange sense of humor, in fact it has been branded as dark by some, I don't & will never intend to "Mock" someone that's has that issue!!!! I had to get this off my back as I feel very guilty, If I was there I would gladly take you for a pint, as I am not, except my apologies.
