Gypsy, so glad Himself is starting to mend a little. Glad the antibiotics are helping.
Larry, hope poor wee Victor is feeling better soon, bless him!
Scott, I'm the other way around as I'm a bit short of writing ideas at the mo, after a creative spell. Am cracking on with my Christmas beading instead (themed earrings, Christmas decorations etc) until I get the next burst of inspiration!
Sara, I'm having a sleepy start today too. Coffee to get me going would be great!
Anyone else got jet/time change lag today? Though I changed clocks before bed last night, which helps, I still woke up too early and then dozed off again, which generally is not good for me.
I'm putting on the kettle. Anyone else for tea?

Ah, the time change fall back an hour challenge! We did that a week ago, and it was not too difficult. Since I sleep badly with stretches of being awake in the wee hours, I was able to recuperate that tricky time slip to my advantage. Plus, last Sunday was glorious, sunny and mild and I got out for several hours in the morning to walk by the river and do some pinhole photography. Today is a swift and total turn around from last weekend, with heavy rains, wind, dark lowering skies. Clearly, the autumn has shifted from the golden, luxurious sort, to the inward turning dark days.
I'll have tea with you, Scott, I have a thermos of Assam Mangalam and am happy to share it.
Thank you, Cynthia, for your kind words, it is a real relief the antibiotics are working. He's still very tired and low on energy and gets winded easily, even the two flights of stairs to our floor knock him back a bit. He has been making noises about going out to the store, which is quite close by but far enough that he isn't up for it. I told him if he tried it I would hide all his shoes. Anything that is needed, I can get.
Your Christmas beading projects sound interesting, are you doing needle beading, or frame beading or another technique?
Enjoy the play, Larry, glad to hear your weather should be all right.
Howdy folks
A later than usual pop in.
It was a good day. I spent a hour with my youngest fans of Scamps Adventures. The Sunday school teacher couldnt wrangle the wee ones so she sent her helper to find me so I could tell them a scamp adventure to settle them down.
A large sweet tea pretty please.
It's nice outside today.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
So are Miss Molly and Scamp related? Inquiring minds want to know.
Time for some green tea. It's already dark here. That lost hour makes a big difference. OTOH, it's brighter in the morning now and that's where I'd rather have the light in any case.

Coffee's on and the tea kettle is full of boiling water. Youse guys grab whatever you want and double-time it over to the the list of stories. The two currently atop the list are, imo, must reads.
Anna's 'Rembrance' challenge entry is brillian, moving and much deserves the RR it received. I'd suggest you read it first.
Next, scroll down to Larry's micro piece featuring Vic the wonder dog. It'll leave you with a smile.
I have been reading to keep tabs on everyone, but didn't want to put people to sleep talking about my daily activities. Not to alarm you Gypsy but a friend of mine's husband had the same symptoms but his is heart failure. Exact same symptoms. Used to call it congestive heart failure but they have dropped the congestive. Just had to let you know since himself sounds like her got pretty darn sick.
So happy Larry that you got out and about with Sir Victor. And rehearsal went well.
And Anna is spelling the Southern American pronouncement of Rembrance. Perfectly acceptable. I'm going to read that soonest.
Cynthia, I got a whole tin box full of Earl Grey from a friend and I don't drink anything but herbal teas. Trying to figure out who I can give it to without my friend finding out. Not a lot of people drink tea. My bestie friend from Scotland has never liked tea.
A delightful thing happened, I went out to dinner with husband for anniversary and we were shocked that two women at a nearby table paid for our dinner according to our server. We really only said happy anniversary to each other in a very quiet voice.....how nice. I think we have a "pay it forward".
hi peeps 
Uh huh .
I will read your latest story very soon.
