What happened to everyone....

[tosca]

.....or is my computer playing up?

Maybe you're all out doing stuff. I'm not...far too hot out there for me. Inside making chutneys and cordials, don't want to waste anything. Living on salads and goat products at the moment, can't be bothered with much else after a bit of preserving.

Oh well. hello anyone who pops in.

[Odsox]

I'm here
I check in several times a day, well I sort of have to as I'm a moderator, but I'm in the "doing other stuff" category at the moment.
PLUS ..... it's not raining, and it's sun shining, and it's pleasantly warm (18c), so that means I will have to spend several hours mowing the grass that loves incessant rain and humid conditions.
Back to normal next week I expect.

[tosca]

Ooooo rain....want some please

[KathyLauren]

Taking advantage of the nice weather to build stuff. Picked some raspberries and blueberries the other day. Yum! Might have peaches in a couple of weeks. Major yum! Going out to mow the grass now.

[Odsox]

It's good to know that you've got nice weather Keith.
As I'm your eastern neighbour, what weather you have today, I shall get in a few days time.
Looking forward to it already ....

Well I wasn't here yesterday as I took food and a newspaper for a lunch break and spent the day at the allotment. You don't want to see the broad beans I have to freeze today as they all came at once. Or maybe you do. There's squillions of them.

Nobody here but us chickens

[baldybloke]

I still pop in occasionally but life is hectic these days.

[ina]

I'm here, too

Life's been rather depressing lately, so I suppose that's my excuse for not being very sociable. Too many funerals.

[Odsox]

Too many funerals.

Oh dear, one is too many and you're talking plural.

[littlemissrose]

Whoa... what happened indeed. I failed to check in for a few days, life got in the way again and everything is gone.

[sleepyowl]

life kinda got in the way, this year has seen 2 funerals, my grandad having a brain haemorrhige (he is fine now) my wedding, 3 christenings, a handfasting, family gatherings, a patio being laid, a step up in chaplaincy work, a more social time with family, job hunting as I'm being made redundant from my paid job, a holiday, 2 festivals, looking after the mother in law who has broken her arm & has parkinson's disease. So have been a little busy

[Flo]

Just a little bit busy there sleepyowl - not all of it good but a lot of it though.

[Zech]

Recently, camping holiday.

Longer term, mental health problems leading to severe reluctance to be sociable. Sorry guys, it's not you, it's me. I'm sure it'll pass. I hope.

I know the feeling.
