Well dinner was very nice https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/slow-cooker-chicken-chasseur I’ll be making that recipe again. And it was warm enough to eat outside! Now chilling by the fire pit, listening to jazz and sipping my drink. All very civilised

@purplepadma oh no I missed it! Bookmarking the recipe though.

Meds were ready but there were no cheese scones in the cafe. Never mind, I had a piece of secret good news in an email so overall I am winning at Friday

@purplepadma winning at Friday and mysterious 😉

This morning is all about trying to track down some of my antipsychotic, then this afternoon my daughter and her bf arrive for a long weekend, so looking forward to seeing them. They’re cat sitting tomorrow as we’re spending the night in Cardiff. Should be good! What are you up to today?

@purplepadma that sounds good!

It’s the last day of my holiday. Boo! So the usual boring packing stuff. We’re having a nice lunch out though and not getting the train until tonight so still some time left to enjoy.

Also saw one of the prettiest orchids…the burnt tip orchid.

I must look up the name of the blue flowers in the background. They grow everywhere here and are just the perfect shade of blue.

Feeling a little blue… probably just exhaustion from a run of sleep-lite nights. Hope I fare better tonight

@purplepadma hope you have a better night and wake feeling refreshed and perkier.

From yesterday’s walk the biggest moth EVER! Ok the biggest moth in Europe maybe…the giant peacock moth. Difficult to get a clear photo without disturbing it - hand in one photo for scale!

The same moth but side-on and partially obscured by grass. One of its long feathery antennae is revealed.
Photo of the same moth with a hand behind it for scale. Its wingspan must be about 15-20 centimetres.

@ngons I bet the caterpillars are impressive! We saw two moths in the same location.

@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

The owners of our gîte feed the local stray cats and are working to trap and neuter them, but there’s still a way to go…

Mama cat and a pile of kittens. Hoping they’ll venture out more in the coming days.

Afternoon! Been too busy to tweet meeting up with my auntie, uncle and cousin who are in west Wales on holiday. Not seen them in person for over a decade! Tired from peopling now. How’s everyone’s day going? The sun has just come out here

helenclayton,
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma well done on the peopling front. It’s quite exhausting all that small talk stuff.
After a very wet morning the sun came out here in SW France. What I thought was a cold might have been an allergic reaction to something as I’m feeling better, had an excellent lunch and short walk and I’ve just snuck a peek at the gîte kittens! So an improving situation.

Mood much improved by a sunny drive to the garden centre. Now wearing my new Hawaiian pattern jumpsuit and pink sandals, and drinking 0% spiced rum and ginger ale on the patio. Feeling very summery!

helenclayton,
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma summery…totally tropical! Sounds lovely. I’m glad you’ve had a good gardening day.

Haha oh my goodness, they’re so cute. I had almost forgotten about these guys but it’s very nice to have them around again. Itty bitty oak titmouse.

I feel terrible. I’ve held it together up until now but I’m very tearful missing Miss Cinnamon

helenclayton,
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma sending big hugs and positive thoughts. 💜

helenclayton,
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma hurrah! Pleased to see you and unbothered by the stress caused!

Morning. Miss Cinnamon didn’t come home last night. Tom slept downstairs to listen out for her, but nothing. I’m very anxious.

helenclayton,
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma hoping she’ll come waltzing back shortly after a night on the tiles, completely oblivious to your concern. Hugs.

helenclayton,
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma I understand the worry. I’m sure she’ll be back soon. Can you check with neighbours in case she’s got herself stuck inside a garage?

helenclayton, to random
@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

Oof, just finished packing for my travels tomorrow. Two and a half whole weeks off!

@helenclayton@mas.to avatar

@purplepadma ooh custard tarts!
