Another card?? Heather, are you married to a postman by any chance? :D

All caught up again. It is a sunny day again although the wind is pumping something fierce.
Have an awesome Hump Day everyone. View attachment 257813
Beautiful view. Good morning, Carol! I'm looking forward to go wine-shopping tomorrow and gift-shopping for family on Friday.

Didn't Hannibal also feed some of his victims to guests of his? And almost makes one want to eat food that only you yourself have cooked.
I guess daughter's friends all watched that movie: they barely eat anything in my house! Or maybe they're all budding Gordons Ramsey... :rolleyes:

We have had a pretty dry Autumn this year but haven't had any water bans yet. This was in the news the other day - a village in Derbyshire that was drowned tin the 1940s to make a reservoir has been exposed because of the low water levels. People are able to walk amongst the ruins. Is the Ladybower reservoir anywhere near your mum, Linda @JoesMum ?

Ladybower is closest to my sister, but it’s not far. We go there for walks :)

As for walking the ruins, it’s not recommended. They keep having to rescue people from the mud!

Good morning all. I had a few chores to do before allowing myself to drop in this morning.

Things are getting a bit busy on my moderator forum too. I’m just off to deal with some sneaky advertising by a company that definitely knows the rules.
I had to deal with that all the time when I was a mod. I had some pretty complex algorithms to fight off abuse, but there's always those smarter and more determined than me, so they usually found ways around it. Especially the Chinese ads trying to sell custom kitchens. Ugh...as if! Lol

Hi Lena. Miss you too.:):<3:
My leg is getting better. I think soon I will be back here again.:)
In German we have a saying: Unkraut vergeht nicht.
Translated it means: Pest plants never die ........:(
Nice, isn`t it ????:D
I am glad you are recovering Sabine. We really have missed you about the place. Look how pleased Montgomery is! * Gives him a tummy tickle *

I like your saying! :D

This is a company that knows the rules only too well and keeps coming up with new wheezes to get round the rules. The problem is that it isn't anything we haven't seen before. And salesmen don't always seem to have the highest IQs; the Chinese bots are much smarter :D On this occasion they have ended up embarrassing their customers by asking them to place glowing recommendations. It's a shame they told them what to say; identikit posts stand out :D
