Bob seems rather surprised that it's Monday morning .
Sophie is having a frumpy hair start to her day.
Autumnal weather. Squalls and a chill wind. Time to shut up the pool, trim the last of the lavender, dig out the duvets from storage and take down the geraniums in the window boxes. All of this of course has to wait while Bob and Sophie play touch rugby in the garden. Having the miniature rugby ball kicked for them is so much more exciting that having it thrown. Sophie shrieks with delight.
Pre-breakfast touch rugby. Can a day get any better ?
A farmer in a grey Audi stops at the gate to tell us Loic is still refusing to leave his mothers bedside but Madame Bay made him dinner last night ( which he had on a tray in the hospital ) and this morning he's already had croissants, jam and coffee - and a change of clothes.

Touch rugby first thing in the morning. What a great start to the day. Dear gentle Loic. How confused he must be at this time. However he will be in good hands in that little village with so many wonderful people and such support. Best wishes to him from Australia
We too think the rugby is an ideal start to the day - chores can wait.
We are getting signs if spring here - blossoms and warm sunshine.

Good thing the rugby player knows how to kick.
Loïc is in our thoughts.
How good to know that Loic is being as well cared for as his mother.
Touch rugby first thing on Monday morning - can the week get any better !

My heart swells on behalf of Loic, that he has such care from his community. Bob and Sophie are jolly lucky too... YAM xx
Amazingly the mind motor coordination still works when it comes to kicking into touch.
A skill set that seems to have stayed .
I hope you let Loic know he has friends all over the world wishing him welll.
A grand day for the PONs.
ALL over the world! Both 4 legged and two legged varieties...
Dear Loic always reminds me of his namesake, the gardner in As Time Goes By. We spent Friday past searching for our batteries, candles, paper plates and cups,etc.... all the things we put in a good place on November 30 when our hurricane season is over and have to find again when the season sorings a new a atorm on us the next summer. (Fortunately we didn't have to use most of the things as this one veered slightly westward and then weakened.) But we understand your search for the duvet and of course your annual search for the creche and the sporrin (sp.?) every Noel! Please do tell Louic how many friends he has all over the world.
sorry for the typos... still windswept.
Glad you're all safe and well. Looks like Marathon got hit hard ?
So true.
All the Keys got something. Then us in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Then Marco Island, Naples, and Everglades City on the west coast. Orlando etc. And now downtown Jacksonville is experiencing flooding.The rain bands and wind gusts outside the actual core of the storm did serious damage statewide. But nothing compared to the Caribbean islands, particularly Barbuda and one of my favorites where I did some work, Saint Maarten. Their economies will be devastated for a long while as they depend on tourism.
Some things you never forget.
