Hi all ☕️ teabreak time again, it gets no warmer does it

Dry for the next few days though (they say) frog so will take that for now. Got a bit more tidying done outdoors and will show for doing soon hopefully, I suspect the slight seed buying fervour is creeping up on me any day now 😬 so must go through what I have first. Sorry you had quite so much rain, none really by morning here but certainly did overnight and I was not really expecting it or happy, everything damp again in the garden underfoot etc. 😕 Maybe you got some foraging done unless it was just not possible, if not then soon I hope as you want them for Sunday. Sorry about the afternoon's 'appointment' 😿, Sleek was unavoidably detained from visiting me of course, next time I shall provide the treats and listen to her tale of woe (do hope she's alright, you too). Hope food bank went ok as well, I see they are talking again about bins every 3 weeks - Cheshire in the example I saw - and food waste collections in the next couple of years, some do already of course not us though. No other news, I have put out mini enquiries to plumbers well it's a start 😣. Pleased to hear news of Joan oh the card arrived, gosh I may have to blink a little tear back too, sniff - glad she is keeping you posted, I have mixed feelings about them starting the kitchen without her I must say but maybe she will be as happy it's done in her absence 🤔. Hope have had a good evening & all are well :) xx

Thinking of Joan hope your day was as well as can be, do they make a decent cup of tea I wonder, hope so 🤞☕️ xx

Hi bosh, oh no not disappointed littleys, ah well curly straws will have helped, that well-known panacea 😉. I will definitely take the broccoli hat/hairdo/headdress out of the choices available, or broccolini if I'm going to follow the gourmet guidelines of LA, it looks slightly easier to manage then the others 😄. Pub-nay, I like it 😅 yes v appropriate for us non-drinkers, glad the lunch was nice 😊. Hope things going ok with you today, cold again but bright anyway. No news at all nothing is happening, I will have to make something up at this rate I think. Have a good night hope everyone ok :) xx

Sorry about the flare-up Stuart, ouch 😟 hope it settles and the weather does too, wish you a better night 🤞 xx

Love to all 😘 keep warm xx

They can't do the kitchen Toady because they found more rat droppings recent too as Joan had already cleaned before the went in.

Will post properly tomorrow ((())) xxx

hi Toni

How are you tonight?

Yes a chilly day by all accounts

Yes maybe you were walking too fast
mums ok 👍

Group was good thanks

J the leader wasn’t wearing a coat though

She seldom does you know, a very nice lady of course, but very strange really

I was sitting a thousand miles away from nasty M 👍

The cleaners came so unfortunately no ablutions but never mind

A plumber came the other day I don’t even know why lol,

He told dad he bought a stone bath for himself for a mere £4000 lol

That’s the same amount in loose change I found in the biccie cupboard- don’t tell landlord toady 🤐

Peri menopausal mood has become slightly abnormal again, not extreme like last time thankfully, but you’re right these problems can’t last forever- it just seems like they do sometimes

I bought a mini journal so I can record my moods briefly- I’m talking more mental health now rather than pm - so that’s a positive thing

I’m ok right now Toni just tired

Dad is grumping around

Have a good night Toni tc xx

hi young at heart toady

Yes cold but bright day,

Well not particularly bright here but never mind haha

Curly straws can solve all problems I agree lol

But maybe not curly pipes?

I will consult the phantom plumbers

Group was ok thanks 🙏

J wasn’t wearing a coat - bit ookey

Glad you’re ok

Sorry for short post

It’s approaching the stitching hour

👋 SK and Stuartknee

How are you Skinny Keef?

👋 return to toady

Sorry for this confusing compound post haha

I just wanted to say this is your hairstyle for the stitching hour lol

Goodnight all tc xx
