It is a tad blustery :-0

Morning all. <3 :-D

Changeable here.

One minute, sun, the next, a shower, it doesn't know what to do with itself. :-S

We have bluetits in a nesting box, robins nesting in one of the trees and a beautiful pair of goldfinches that must have a nest somewhere as they're fluttering all over very prettily. <3

Morning Dermie <3 :-D

They don't like it up em ;-) :-D

Well I think the birdies are really enjoying the lockdown :-D

I agree, Belle.

The patio furniture is out and the big umbrella up


Afternoon -:-D :-D <3 <3

I am watching Cav and Pag from The Met :-D

Hi Pat. <3 :-D

Our patio furniture has been out for ages. My daughter's is never in. :-D

Not that we've sat around the table much yet. :-D

table and chairs always outside but soft seating to go over the chairs and the umbrellas stay in over winter. It's all been put out. The sun is very destructive here so our chairs are metal. Plastic suddenly goes fragile and you could end up sitting on the floor. :-S

We ain't got any plastic chairs, Pat.

Of course our cushions are kept inside until needed.

Son has a very swish covered hot tub in his garden - heated at all times so used throughout the year

We all know what it's like living in 40+ degree temperatures.. :-D

Too bleddy hot for comfort! :-0

Meanwhile, a neighbour has had her gazebo up for a couple of weeks - it's still there, we can see the top of it. :-D

They have been dining out a lot recently. :-D

Sadly, with a couple of guests, the dingbats. :-0

:-S :-S :-S covidiots then.

Breakfast is outside but too cold for me in the evening, another couple of weeks and it will be different.

No place for a hot tub here even if we wanted one.

The sea is just up the road and it's warm water in summer :-D

Pat, if the beach is sandy you'd never get me on it at all. I hate the feel of sand on my feet - yuk!!!

Of course wellies would be OK. :-D

They sell special shoes here to go into the sea with. :-D

Afternoon all :-D <3

I’m in the mood for dancing, romancing
Ooh I’m giving it all tonight
I’m in the mood for chancin
Ooh so come on and hold me tight. :-D

Steps back for Joy to show her dancin skills :-)

Afternoon Belle :-D <3 Von :-D <3 Dermot :-D <3 Joy :-D <3Pat :-D <3Emma :-D <3

Afternoon Emma :-D :-D <3 <3

Afternoon Fly :-D :-D <3 <3

Pat, like those we used to have when we were children - 'I think they're still available here.

They don't keep the sand off your tootsies like wellies do!

Hi Emma and Fly. <3 :-D

I did not dance this morning - only just got out of me jammies. :-D
