Hi Abbers,

So much for English summer (made an appearance yesterday). It's cold and grey again today. I can see why Loppy doesn't feel inspired to jump on in the mornings.

Well done getting through your move, Beck. The new place sounds absolutely idyllic! Congrats on your 5 months!!

It must be a source of pride and relief that the wedding went so well, even if you didn't dance your socks off, Charlee. And now Italy, lucky you! I LOVE Italy!! Whereabouts are you going -north, south, east, west?? Yes, the dollar and euro used to peg about even but the dollar's taken quite a plunge.

My big excitement was finding a mouse in my bedroom the other night. Two small pipes run from the bathroom to my radiator with a little hole in between. My guess is that's where he's come from. I got a sonic repeller but the instructions say it takes 2-4 wks to work. Meanwhile, I wedged a flip-flop b/w the pipes in front of the hole. Hope my flip-flop defence will hold for the time being. Det, if you're looking for new forms of target practice...

The defences against AL are doing just fine - on day 50 AF - WOO HOO!!

Cindi - just saw your post. Hope everything will be fine with your grandson. Sending vibes of calm and strength your way!! Also, really good news about Lenair. I'm sure it will work for you just as well as it has done for the others.

Have a good day everybody!
