Good morning peevers.

I am in a bit of a rush this morning.

Hang on- someone at the door to do some work in the back yard (it's 8am).

Must go.

POTD

Someone turns up early.

Chat later.

Right! I'm back.

I had to head out and then the chap turned up to sort out the back patio. All is in hand now.

So my dear peevers, I'll post another couple of photos from my mini tour of WWI battle sites;

The Ulster Tower in France;



The Newfoundland memorial in Belgium;

Well, at least they showed up Jezer. I live in the land of "Mañana doesn't necessarily mean tomorrow" so I never have to worry about anyone showing up early

If someone shows up early to a party I just put them to work. Extra hands are always better, so is an extra glass of wine.

Another good peeve, Jezer! A few of the elderly ladies from my church women's circle always show up way early for meetings and events. I prepare a Christmas dinner for the group of about 15 ladies each December, and one time the three early birds showed up on my doorstep an hour and a half before the scheduled time. Yikes!

Beautiful pics, Jezer!

I don't like early show-uppers! In my new neighborhood, neighbors are dropping by and knocking!
