It's very peaceful, @Dovefromabove. A lovely place to sit and contemplate... but not in today's weather...
Couldn't see a lot, @Fairygirl. Had to nip to the shops (need to have a fast walk every day to compensate for the lack of steps to keep me fit!) but my eyes were on the puddles, hoping not to be splashed by passing BMW drivers. (They're definitely the worst for not noticing pedestrians next to the puddles they're about to drive through...)
Washing dripping inside today, @AuntyRach. I was making do with the dozen pegs left on the line by my predecessor, when the weather was fine, and doubling up the socks. Â
Incidentally, I can recommend a heavy dose of shingles and a house move for anyone wanting to lose weight. I seem to be twelve pounds lighter than before this all started!

Oooh that doesnât sound very nice ... glad youâve got your hatches battened. Weâve been promised rain but I donât think weâre going to get the wind like those of you further west.Â

Kitty is getting closer, sheâs living in the wooden shed, door is just open a couple of inches, sheâs got a piece of duvet and a fur igloo that Iâve seen her in through the day as well as the night. Â She has a littler tray in there as well, although not yet used. This morning she came to the door for her breakfast, I put it out on the step, then lunch time she came again and I put some biscuits just outside the door. It can take up to 3 weeks to gain a wild cats trust, out of the 13 cats Iâve had over the years, only 2 came from domestic houses, all the others were wild. Â I worry that she hasnât been spayed, they donât usually mate in the winter, lets hope.Â

@Lyn Wonky is doing the same as you ... a pretty little tabby is living in their shed ... sheâs quite small ... possibly less than a year old ... sheâs feeding but waits until Wonky has left the shed before sheâll feed ... Wonky is trying to spend increasing amounts of time just sitting quietly in a corner of the shed ... fortunately itâs a large shed... Wonkyâs friend will give puss a home ... once Wonky can catch her. đ That shed used to be Flattersâ home ... nature and cats abhor a vacuum đÂ

Can you shut her in at night or will that be counter productive.
Our pair were adopted thru a local charity which had undesrestimated Minstrel's age so imagin our surprise one night when, way ahead of schedule, she set up the most amazing caterwhauling and waved her bum at anything and everything, much to Bonzo dog's surprise.  It did break the ice tho and they get on well now. We changed her appointment and brought it forward a month.

Hope you'll be OK while OH is away @Liriodendron. Plenty to do I'm sure but not easy when you don't know anyone yet.

Sorry @Obelixx, just caught up on your post re cough mixture, thanks for that.
Hope we don't get the 80 mph winds here, just spent 2 hours picking up leaves today!!
@Liriodendron - lovely pic
It has tipped with rain, very heavy at times.
Did a bit of HW, sorted photos, fed horses, chatted on phone, lit fire, cooked lunch, nothing exciting.Â

Good luck catching her.
