Jayne: We've been lucky with the weather, mostly, since lockdown and since we were allowed to have a few people in the garden I took full advantage of it. I don't recall ever having spent so much time out there, or having so many al fresco meals. Autumn is upon us but we might still get an ''Indian Summer''. I live in hope.

Many thanks for the affirmation. This is the way the world wants to be. Marry it, I say!

Hi Jayne and Jim,
In Minnesota we love to talk about the weather. It's getting cool now, but this has been the most beautiful summer ever, few hot days, regular rainfall, temperate in every way -- in counterpoint to the increase in tent encampments in the parks and waste spaces and the sporadic destruction of the demonstrations. Best wishes, Bill

Say it, Jayne. Say it. It feels like a burden lifting. It is a burden lifting.

Oh, all right then, Simon...

I asked my husband how I should say it... and he referred to the much-desired departure of the Cambridge University Netball Team...

There, I said it - sort of. I'm sure you get my drift

Ha. I knew what you meant before, but it took me a long minute to figure out what you meant this time...

Not surprising, Simon - your team is Harvard.

Something to look forward to, for a change. The family is getting bigger...

My 3rd great-grandchild is due in April, and my 8th grandchild is due in May. Next year promises to be a whole lot better than this one!!!

“Hey, Jayne, here’s my good news! I won the election! But that lyin' creep Joe Biden refuses to admit defeat, so my guys are havin’ to do a lotta court cases to get the true results accepted. In the meantime, more good news: the Cambridge University Netball Team has made me their president for life! And the Presidential Re-election and Inauguration Committee of Kentucky has done the same, thanks to that great patriot Mitch McConnell! Believe me, I ain’t goin’ anywhere soon … although I’m keepin’ my passport in a safe place just in case.” @realDotardTrump
