hi toady
How are you tonight?
The gas man drew me this very informative pie chart lol
Also someone who shops at โMagdaโ ok commonly known supermarket, no religious slight intended of course, has found the best way to get a refund ๐๐
Hope the phantoms give you some rest overnight and donโt decide to hold a midnight concert singing their own creepy rendition of โThere were once two plumbers on toadyโs wall,
If one of them should accidentally fall
The other one files a lawsuit and returns to finish the job next fallโ
Or something like that lol
Sorry for the Americanism haha
โFallโ indeed, autumn to civilised people
Good night toady Stuartknee etc tc xx

Hi all, just a wave ๐ no noise today which has helped a lot so just keeping my head down in case of tomorrow, off to bed now and have caught up on some sleep in the daytime.
Bless you frog for the special lend of Sleek, because seeing as it was quiet, a film and some super chocs were possible and just the thing then we had a nap in the nice room ๐๏ธ. Yes perhaps not the bagpipes! ๐ and in reality I'm too nice well a goody-goody let's face it to make deliberate noise. Hope things ok with you mxt excepting, more news as I get it or have got any worth reporting of a non mundane variety ๐ xx
Tempting though it is Joan ๐ I'm not the sort for confrontation, and I wouldn't want a husband that shouted & swore you can just set off bad feeling which is the last thing I need I don't know what the people are like (& I'd be even more annoyed if someone responded to what a man said and not me!). Anyway it would be like shouting at the gas board to hurry up digging the road, they aren't doing it on purpose and it's not their fault that I'm especially intolerant of noise - or that I'm not out in the daytime for example. Yes I should probably ask but I don't want to hear they will be at it til Xmas ๐ฌ. Sorry you have the swallowing problems that's not nice to have, I can't swallow pills like I used to but otherwise I'm fortunate. Have a good Monday not sure what the weather is doing, good luck with man coming ๐ค xx
Hi bosh just a quick visit ๐ the gas men aren't started yet I don't know when they do, it's the workmen next door I have no idea how they are finding so much to do ๐. Hurry up LA and qualify for a few more of these vital trades then he can have all my work, or do I actually want that ๐ค. Nobody is singing thank heavens that would be the final straw. I have never heard Baby Shark once and I don't wish to start now ๐ฑ. Funny you should say that about ' if one plumber should accidentally fall' ๐ I saw some very good replica halloween skulls and am tempted to put one in the garage and say that was the last person who tried to armtwist me into a smart meter ๐. Just made my first purchase on Minted let's see how I got on with them seeing as I am getting more and more annoyed with nosegay. Hope everyone alright today :) xx
Hello Stuart, I don't get too stiff from sitting etc these days (touch wood) though I certainly have done, it all depends how well damped down the arthritis is at any one time. I've never had morning stiffness and I always feel like the Drs are slightly disappointed at that, because I don't fit the typical! Sorry that's how yours affects you, and the burning sensation etc ๐. Breaking your knee, I can't begin to imagine how painful but I should certainly think a 15!! Hope you have a better night xx
Love to all ๐

Morning everyone
Morning Joan hope you are feeling well this morning. I am so pleased that your mouth/throat are all better now. You must have an amazing pain threshold to be still moving with a broken hip honestly!
So the mice were used to wandering around where the bungalows are now. I don't really blame them then it was their home first! Though not something you want in your home with you are they๐ฏ
My lovely neighbour is back in hospital. I am going to visit her on Friday afternoon.
Take care Joan ((())) xxx
Morning Stuart knee when my arthritis is flaring I also have extra pain when moving after a period of rest. Everything can seem to seize up. I hope you had a reasonable night last night.
Morning Reshmi
How are you and your Mum today? Are your eyes feeling more rested now? All this tech is not ideal for them is it?
Loved that poppy photo you posted so pretty. I went to the Church this morning it was full to the brim. It was amazing to see services normally maybe 12-20 people. One of the villagers played the 'last post' not on a bugle but on a trumpet it was amazing. Always makes me cry when I hear it. I think about everyone killed during any conflict anywhere whoever they were.๐
Today I suppose is the actual remembrance day being the 11th.
Your little ditty for Toady about the gas man was actually very funny sure it made her smile a bit.
Today I am babysitting for the foster-babies while their foster Dads take a load of stuff to the tip. You'd better wish me lots of luck because they are on the go solid 24 hours a day!๐ฃ I will have to watch out for obstacles and hair pulling the odd bite etcโฆโฆ Let's hope the tip is open and they get straight in and back to rescue me๐
Hope you have a good day. ((())) xxx
Morning Toady
I am very glad to hear that yesterday was peaceful Sleek enjoyed watching the film. I know she dozed off at one point and snored herself awake she admitted that much๐
She is a good girl really not likely to deliberately make a racket or cause trouble at least not trouble that comes back on herself/ anyone else. She did leave the drums and the bagpipes at home๐ You should however, I think, not be over quiet just be normal watch tv or put the radio on then they will know what can be heard through the walls.
It was a busy day for me. So many people at the Church there were two 'air pots' full of boiling water and still I had to boil two kettles full. There was standing room only as it was the remembrance ceremony. Then everyone trucks down the lane to the memorial garden to lay the poppy wreath. All very sad. BUT the sun shone it really did albeit briefly.
We had a family meeting then at 7pm (my shower get ready for bed time๐) to discuss music, eulogy, flowers etc for Tia's Grandad. I think you had a second visit from Sleek then? She doesn't like a lot of people in the house.
Take care hope today is a good day. ((())) xxx oh wish me luck - hair wash now!!!

Toady (()) No I wouldnโt have the nerve to go to him. Some people can be nasty. From today itโs going to be a bit warmer so the weatherman said. Good. I hope you had a good night. And a good day today. Sorry about nosegay.
Toni (()) sorry about your lovely neighbour (()) I hope sheโs not in hospital too long. I bet the little foster babies are a hand full how old are they. Sorry about your pain. How is yours shoulder.

hi Toni
How are you tonight?
Iโm ok thanks
Eyes too at the moment ๐ค
But youโre right not easy to look after them with all the tech we have to use daily
I felt sad because I have a fb friend who is a Hindu from Bangladesh heโs managed to leave that country but his job has finished and his family has been tortured, donโt worry Iโm not entering into any dubious financial transactions or anything remotely of that sort, itโs just a very sad situation for him
But as the rest of fb it is of course mostly ๐คฎ
No doubt lol
Thermostat wars going on again๐คทโโ๏ธ
The poem is still in the bank lol
But the cheque will clear eventually lol

Morning Joan how are you dong today? I am so glad you can eat again without pain your poor throat. We've had a good frost this morning, but at least it was a sunny day yesterday first.
My neighbour has been in for a couple of weeks but will have another maybe 10 days so they say. She's on heavy IV antibiotics you see. Same stuff as they give to cancer patients because Lucy used to have it so it's good stuff. I am going to visit on Friday afternoon to give her a different face to see.
The babies are both 2 so really hard work as they can both walk (run) and escape!!!
Take care ((()))
Morning Reshmi Hope you and your Mum are well today. I am glad to hear she was feeling happy yesterday.
You do right to rest your eyes from time to time. Can you use voice still on some of your tech to write for you? That definitely has it's uses. Only problem with that is I usually change gender to Tony not Toni!
That is awful about your friend I do hope he at least gets another job soon๐ That's awful about his family. You are so right to watch out for scammers pf Fbook and the like they are so sneaky trying to lure women into paying for stuff.
Aha you have banked a cheque?! That is exciting news๐I look forward to seeing it once it's cleared should be by the end of the week. You'd think banks could do it quicker these days, but it seems not doesn't it?
We had a good hard frost shouldn't have walked so early. At least I didn't slip.
Guess what? The en suite loo is leaking again when I flushed the chain the water went all over the floor from teh cistern. So had to isolate that loo. Impressed? I am but LA phoned me to tell me how๐
Have a good day Reshmi ((())) xxx
Morning Toady
How are you doing this icy morning? Have you got ice too? It's very cold here but the heating is on so I'm ok.
Sleek absolutely loved being at yours yesterday mainly because you were resting she loves 'duvet days' as they call them. The stress had certainly got to you hopefully you will feel much better after that.
Do see my post to Bosh to read that the en suite loo which had a temporary fix while the builders were here has 'gone' again. Not to worry we have the main loo to use so all is well, but means another man at some point. I can't face that yet though.
Take care Toady ((())) xxx
Sending ((())) to Stuartknee hope you are doing ok?

Good morning everyone
I have booked to go into town tomorrow so I will be taking the dogs for a walk. The electrician has just been to fix the cord in the bathroom a light at last I havenโt been able to change the toilet roll there is no window.
Toady (()) Iโm sorry you are having bad nightโs. I feel sorry for all the people who sleep outside. I got some mince pies in my delivery yesterday. Have a good day.
Toni (()) sorry about your lovely neighbour (()) I hope sheโs not in hospital to long.
when I put Sueโs electric wheelchair on fbook a man rang up and said he wanted it but would I send him money then we would give it back if I left it out side he would collect it. I said no Iโm not doing that. He kept writing saying he wanted it. Yes two year olds are an handful. Have a good day. Sorry about your toilet. Love to Paul (()) and Charley (()) and Annie (()) and Arya (()) and Lucy (()) and Tia (()) and Kari (()) and your friend (()) and your lovely neighbours (())Reshmi (()) have a good day and your mum (()) keep warm

Vc Poem called
โThe Phantom Plumbersโ
The phantom Plumbers went to Wart Rose to purchase a cordial made of lime
They charged toady for their sacred drink and pretended to work overtime
They sang โBaby Sharkโ every day until her eardrums almost burst
They gave her Wart - Rose receipts for F*rtnum & Jason snacks, which the poor innocent lady reimbursed
The phantom plumbers started singing Baby Shark at 3 oโclock in the morning without fail
But toady took gastric vengeance and laced their smoothies with extra kalePs pic of baby shark characters - sorry Iโm just educating toady (not Rita today ๐) xx

Hi all ๐
Not too noisy today although still an all-day thing and the odd drill still going off even now at gone 6. Yes the whole thing has certainly got to me frog and compounding it is the fact I am so cross that it has knocked me this much for six, it really doesn't warrant it on paper ๐. But it is a cumulative thing I suppose of some sort of noise or stress ever since lockdown. Just holds up a mirror to all the other things that are wrong, which I spend a lot of effort trying not to focus on. Sigh. Plumbing for you again, oh for pity's sake one day we can have a drip-free existence surely! Not surprised you can't fancy another person in I hope you find a feasible slot where it can be done without too much horror ๐ฑ. Was it realistically likely to hold from the last time or was this always on the cards? Hope everything else ok today with you, sorry I am not up to speed - hope the meeting for the funeral arrangements/details went ok everyone of one mind etc. Yes Sleek did drop by and we had a rather enjoyable little mutual moan, always a tonic ๐ธ. It certainly dropped very cold today as it went on but I had sun first thing so was almost thinking icy, what do you mean icy?! but then it just plummeted. I was indeed thinking of you for hairwashing it would have been worse still today I guess โ๏ธ. Be careful walking in the mornings I know you will ๐๏ธ. All the best to your neighbour and you for visiting on Fri. Love to all ๐ xx
Hello Joan oh gosh no window in the bathroom yes you definitely need the light pull ๐ฌ! Hope it behaves itself now. Nosegay has become very irritating there is a community forum for users and it is full of complaints, they are continually changing things for the sake of it and it is never for the better. They have bought in a whole different message system and when you go the the page you find the last message you received is on the screen already open, it is like having someone not even letting you open your own post, what a silly idea ๐. Mince pies already ๐ฎ they do keep trying to get us all in a festive mood I suppose any minute now I will have to stop saying it's too early. Good luck in town tomorrow. Yes I do hope the weatherman is right about the warm upturn, it has been quite nasty. Of course it doesn't bear thinking about people rough sleeping even in this let alone the worst of winter, such a complex issue I don't know how it can be solved any better. There are people who if they received help could lead better more productive lives than me with a roof over my head, which is a double tragedy ๐. Love to the dogs & yourself keep warm ๐
Hi bosh, sorry I'm behind with news. I have had a browser crash and a BSOD just while typing this, it is not helping definitely not my day my week my month or even my year, as Friends would say (seeing as we are in theme song type mode). Excellent poem ๐, me pay for F*rtnum & Jason snacks, I should cocoa as they say ๐ that will be the day! Yes kale would be the least of their worries if they start singing at me. Thank you for the education, heaven knows I could do with it ๐. Hope the freezing room not too arctic, it is certainly not toasty here today I will off to bed even earlier tonight, probably any minute now in fact, pausing only for R Brek. Have a good group tomorrow if you are going and anything else you do on the way or way back, no dogs I hope. One growled at me the other day (on a lead), people always say it won't hurt you, well I don't know what was on its mind whilst growling in the back of its throat but it wasn't let's be pals ๐. Glad everyone ok atm and your mum had some nice visitors. Have a good night :) xx
And the same to Stuart, all the best for some sleep ๐ค xx
Love to all ๐ xx

hi toady
That really made me laugh , what you said about F & J snacks lol

Morning Joan thank goodness you have light in the loo again! That must have been awful did you take your torch in?Hope town is ok and the dogs did their business quickly so you could get yourself ready.
Thank you yes two two year olds! They were into everything, but also such fun talking well trying to and both pretty fast walking almost running. Amazing since the little boy was initially thought to be blind and deaf and unlikely to even live let alone walk.
You were very sensible to ignore that person trying to con you out of money for Sue's wheelchair๐๏ธ Really some people๐
My neighbour is incredible somehow she just fights back every time bless her. I will take lots of photos of Arya for her to see. Take care Joan wrap up warm today ((())) xxx
Morning Reshmi hope you and your Mum are doing ok today?
How is Big Babu? Is he behaving himself at the moment?
Cold room must be a relief though if your Mum has the thermostat up really high as she usually does.
Oh well done the cheque has cleared!
Great plumbing plumber-woes ditty there๐ Thank you for that. I can certainly see where the insipration for that came from. I do wish they'd wear more clothes though when they drink their tea๐ฏ Poor Toady reimbursing them for posh products. See? You just can't trust a plumber can you?
My great niece was all baby shark a few years ago probably the same sort of time as LA was. I do hope that song doesn't get in my head like it used to.
Have a good day and walk steady out there it's icy here. ((())) xxx
Morning Toady
I am glad to see usual service is restored. Toad is back posting I really miss your posts even if you feel grumpy ones shouldn't be posted.
It does feel very much like one thing after another doesn't it atm? Intrusion after intrusion. I am refusing this next one for a bit we will just not use that loo I am keeping an eye on any potential dripping. I think it has probably been there since the house was built - 1970's? so probably had it's day. The only difference between us is I can moan to Paul about these things it's harder for you (and Joan now too) because there is no-one at home to let off steam with. Sleek is however more than happy to oblige.
Is she moaning about me again? I found a few tiny potential lugs on the same side as before so am brushing them out a bit at a time. She hates it and tries to bite the brush. If you don't mind having a go too? It's her left flank near her tail. I think her sore neck makes cleaning there difficult. She's ready now wrapped up warm and is coming over in a bit via cost a packet so you'll both have a treat soon.
Have a good day Toady I am walking a bit later with Kari today before I go to the foodbank. ((())) xxx
Morning Stuartknee hope you are coping ok? Does this colder weather make your pains worse or is it more in the summer for you?
a bit naughty for breakfast but why not?!!!

Hi all ๐
I wouldn't call this normal service frog ๐ฌ more like a 'reduced service one train per day until further notice' setup ๐. Kind of you to say so but I really mustn't grumble too much & bore everyone rigid, especially anyone new who's just after a sitdown and a coffee & iced bun. (Which I don't have, so wish I hadn't mentioned ๐ doesn't look like cost a packet do that sort of thing, maybe a muffin? Tomorrow if I'm lucky? ๐๐บ). Yes Sleek had a mini grumble about what she has to put up with at home, nothing I couldn't repeat ๐ we had a little go at the offending tangle hope it helped. Haven't got a lot done today it has been a bit hard going, my heart does rather sink after my morning cuppa to see people pull up the drive again next door, but it must come to an end surely ๐ฌ mustn't it??!! It's a consolation I must say (in a wouldn't wish it on you way ofc) that there are others that will also ignore a leaky toilet than do the necessary ๐ฃ. Keep an eye on it yes hopefully that will do for now. Hope you had a nice walk it was quite sunny here all told but not warm that's for sure. Hope all well with Kari - don't worry about me not having someone to moan to btw, there are peripheral friends/family out there if required but it's my lookout if I've consciously not acquired tons of close pals - I'm quite stiff upper lip really so there wouldn't be much crying on shoulders anyway (slight hypocrisy, coming in here to do it instead, I daresay ๐ณ but at least it's just the edited 'highlights'! ๐ฌ). Wish I had some other trivial news/gossip I will try to acquire some, haven't done any shopping much but I'm sure I'll think of something ๐. Have a good Thursday, are Thursdays anything for you usually? and a good visit to your friend tomorrow hope she's going on ok ๐ xx loved the breakfast and the cat of course ๐
Wave to Joan who went to town hope it was bright for you even if cold, will see you next visit ๐ :) xx
Hope bosh is doing ok maybe has also been frequenting cost a packet (I am beginning to believe that is its name you know, have to think twice what it actually is ๐). I did have a not that bad night thanks, I was trying to listen to things though and wasted time trying to get 'what if you don't want to listen to something all the way through' tube to remember my place in an audiobook and I know there are ways, just couldn't get them to work for me on this occasion. Well it will keep your place but I wanted to go back a certain way and couldn't do it precisely, I suppose the silly app wants updating or something ๐. But I did get some proper sleep thanks, you too I hope. Today's finest accomplishment was sorting out a box of tech cably bits and stuff, not a lot to show for a day but I am under siege conditions ๐ฌ. Kettle on again soon I think, one of many today, ah my precious indeed ๐ ๐. Have a good evening hope everyone ok today :) xx p.s. it's National Kindness Day apparently, so if I say things like 'wouldn't it be a shame if the phantom plumber accidentally electrocuted himself' I have to actually mean them I suppose ๐.
Oh Stuart, that cat ๐ someone is doing their best to keep warm anyway. Lovely. 7 hours is not bad at all I would be happyish with that but I realize it's maybe not the quality you'd like. Definitely feeling the cold ๐ sun today which is a big help, really only happy in the summer though, have to say. Wish you a good night :) xx
Love to everyone โ๏ธ xx

Morning Joan I hope you are well. how did you get on yesterday did you have a nice time in town? Get what you wanted to do done? Did the dogs stay at home or did they come alone too? Sorry that was a few questions there๐ All is well here except I now have a sore throat!!!! Hoping maybe I just slept with my mouth open or something like that๐ and I so wanted to try again for my flu/covid jabs too! Take care Joan ((())) xxx
Morning Reshmi. How are you and your lovely mum doing?
What have you done to your back? I hope not preparing for cleaners to come or worse still getting too cold outside?
Oh dear the cleaners that will have caused a bit of stress at home hopefully not too much? Lovely when they've been though and all the hard work is done.
Glad you got to the group. Not impressed with nasty M's behaviour again Reshmi does J (group leader) never see her behaviour? I mean that lady must have been quite upset at moving when she was in pain.๐ I suppose we should be grateful that she didn't expect said lady to fetch her a drink too๐
I'm sure you will have made her welcome anyway some people eh?
Not much doing here apart from I made my back sore topping and tailing onions for pickling. That wasn't much fun and I have yellow fingers so i look like a smoker even though I have repeatedly washed them!
Take care my friend and here's to a better day๐ Take care ((())) xxx
Morning Stuartknee. To be fair I get about 6 hours sleep on average now I used to be 9 a night every night before all this very occasionally I get 7 or even 8!!! That makes me very happy๐
Who is that gorgeous ball of fluff?! Is he/she ginger? I love him/her so sweet!โค๏ธ Take care Stuart (())
Morning Toady hope all is well with you?
It's ok here just changed the (hand) towel around the metal loo pipe. I really can't face anyone just yetโฆ. We will go on a few weeks longer I hope. Just takes a bit more work to go to the loo in the night.
I didn't mean you have no-one to l moan to I just meant in the house that's all. I know that's how Kari feels and also my friend whose wife died. They both say how it would just be nice to turn to someone and have a darn good moan.
Personally I would definitely want someone to moan to about comings and goings next door. Have they got so much work that needs doing??? Honestly!
Thanks for having a go at Sleek's potential lugs(dreads) one came out just like that after you loosened it yesterday. She is going to bring you a muffin today definitely from cost a packet. Possibly two.
Yes it's Friday I am going to see my lovely neighbour she is incredible isn't she? Still getting on with it whatever life throws at her. Friday am though I am having a cuppa with another friend here before I head up to Stoke hospital. Honestly it's so wrong that our nearest hospital is now 40 minutes drive away. Our actual closest has been downgraded so low you can really only go there for a broken nail these days๐ Ooops I'm off moaning again!!
I love love love those hottie covers!!!! There's a Winnie and one like Kari's beloved Darcey who she lost last year๐
Take care Toad ((())) xxx
interesting winter breakfast, but looks nice!

Good morning everyone
I think itโs strange we all have problems. I have a problem with the dryer it had to have something new in it because Sue put too much washing in. Then the heater went I havenโt been using it Iโve been drying it out side. Now when I use it it wonโt heat only if I turn the knob to the left and Iโve never needed to use that side before. So heโs coming out on Saturday my friend is mad about it. Itโs a good job sue has paid the 5 year guarantee.
yes it is good having a light in the bathroom I can see to change the toilet roll Iโve kept the new one the radiator. And I have the rat man coming every week they are going to change the cladding it has a lot of rat droppings on it. And the bungalow is having new cupboards on the 25โth. Sorry going on. and the optician is coming on the 23 November.Toady (()) I hope you have a good day sorry about all your problems. Did you see some post offices are closing. You never know what is going to happen next.
Toni (()) I canโt take the dogs to town anymore because I havenโt got any one to hold them I wouldnโt give them to anybody to hold. I took them for their walk before I went they had a run. Thatโs nice that you are taking photos of Arya up the hospital for your lovely neighbour to see I hope she will be home soon (()) love to Paul (()) and Charley (()) and Annie (()) and Arya (()) and Lucy (()) and Tia (()) and your friend (()) and your lovely neighbours (())
Reshmi (()) have a good day love to your mum (())
Stuart knee (()) thatโs a lovely cat what is his/ hers name.
take care

Hi all ๐ Hope everyone's day has gone ok. Relatively quiet here and lots of sun which was helpful.
Still, a two-muffin day, most definitely frog ๐ one for elevenses, one for later. And a very nice gingerbread latte with cream & a little gingerbread man good choice Sleek (very educational browsing their menu, this sort of thing counts as broadening your horizons for toads that don't get out much ๐). Yes aren't the hotties lovely (oh Darcey, sniff ๐ฅ), shan't run to that price for one I don't think but nice that the covers are cotton, I expected slightly fuzzy polyester or acrylic etc. Hope you had a nice morning walk if you had time, perhaps helped to blow away the onioniness; hard work ๐ฃ ๐ง have you finished or are you doing it in sessions. Have not done a lot - sorted some more tech bits mostly trying to identify them (why no labels, toad ๐), but at least as I say 'they' have not been too noisy, I really don't know how much there is to do but they seem to have had time to do almost everything you can think of, twice. There are some nasty plastic soffits stacked up outside I don't like the look of ๐. It's a case of towels round pipes is it, I have one of those for company, under a longish term drippy inlet WC pipe - v glam isn't it - all will (must!) be fixed in one plumber session soon as I can. As Joan says why are we being plagued, surely the tide must turn back in our favour soon (tide maybe not the best word) and all have some nice things happen ๐๏ธ. 40 mins drive to the hospital, seems about par now, and they always stick to the line that having a further but new/large/centralized hospital is for your own good ๐ค. Hope you get on ok, have a good evening best to all ๐ :) xx
Hello Joan, yes why are we all having so many things go wrong with appliances, does seem like bad luck but probably it is just as simple as things not being well made, that's the reluctant conclusion. Such a shame. Your dryer seems to be behaving particularly oddly ๐ฎ! hope they do honour the guarantee and not quibble. I haven't seen about any more PO closures but these days I am not surprised at much, probably more likely to be surprised at finding anything at all still open, POs banks etc. We're meant to be getting a new shop in a local sub post office branch not far away, I must see if that is up & running yet - the place has been empty for years it was a nice little branch before. Have a good day tomorrow it was nice here today ๐ :) xx
Wave to bosh and will see you later I daresay ๐
Hope Stuart and everyone doing ok too ๐ค xx
