Morning Joan how are you today? We will be off in a mo so this will be brief I will do my best to check in every day even just for a quick hello. Charlie is good helping with the dogs. Much better now you are not living under his roof! Take care ((()))

Morning Stuart take care of that ankle! Well done mowing though. Do your cats go outside? take care (())

Morning Skinny Keef hope you feel a good bit better today Keef. The family will be home Sucré happy to see his Daddy and Anda much better too🤞((()))

Morning Jojo how's the back? Was glad it was not too bad yesterday hope today is even better. We are off on our hols today, but I should be able to post a bit even if just to say hello - I'm still alive! Enjoy your Sunday lunch I will be eating plane food🤢 Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi

Hope you are doing ok no naughty PM feelings and well as poss otherwise? an dof course that your Mum is ok and BB behaving.

I am fine here leaving soon for our hols.

My dearest father used to call me Toni Moany. Hummmmmph! As if I ever moan🤣

Thanks for my vegan snack much better than the airoplane food 😊

I adore that poem about LA going home. Quite sad 😔 no cheese!🧀 I do hope you'll save it to show him when he's a bit older so he can remember some of the things you did together. I just know what he'll tell his children about the fun Mima and Beruvio had when he was little. Still at least you can watch decent telly. Thank you (())

Glad you ditched some FB stragglers they need to GO!

Take care and look after yourself

Moany ((())) xxx

Morning Toady hope all is well with you.

I can lose my kneeler on the grass, but usually find it in the end. Hope yours stays 'found' always.

Yes!!!! RR not only has a jaunty hat but that tache too!!! With a feather in it! Elfie is sitting up ready to look after Sleek.

I didn't know that Fig owner no I don't know any here who are in the club, but she was so pleased to see me too. If you see a Fig and you aren't in yours well….the frustration!

I got a bag not tiger print black and tasteful £7 in cheap shop. Tiger print - suits me? I thing not😂

Take care Toady see you soon Sleek is bringing Elfie over later but then 'only wun more time'! You are her special friend.

Hi all 👋 lovely day 🌞

Lucky weather for you frog but I suppose you are not getting the benefit now, well not exactly, hope what you do have is fine and all going well. 👍️ Sleek and Elfie have been safely over here with me this morning & early afternoon, nipping back in good time for their cat-sitters. We have been in the garden, so noisy again yesterday I went out instead but today has mercifully only been the usual background racket, so I have got some things done. A few things have made a comeback from the dead I am pleased about, one was my only seedling/little plant of its type leftover from last year. Glad you got yourself a bag, I was not suggesting that tiger print was very 'you' 😱😂 I was talking about the Mona Lisa look, just one of my many disjointed sentences I fear, my posts are littered with them 😬. Hope everything as well as poss with everyone, take care and don't worry about us just wave at us now and then like you said 😊 love to all :) xx

Happier primrose 😊 and friend.

Hello Joan, sorry I wasn't in here again yesterday. Lovely day today, it does not look too bad ahead like tomorrow even if it is not as nice, but colder next week definitely, shame. Yes that's exactly the sort of scooter, they market adult ones as 'commuter scooters' and all sorts but basically that's all they are really, just the ones you push under your own steam. I am not very good; the funny thing is they actually recommend the leg you stand on has the knee kept slightly bent, which mine are anyway with the arthritis, but that feels wrong I want to stand straight 🤷‍♀️. Sorry about your rose, do the people have no orange shades at all, or just not what you want; having looked online there are more apricot and peach type colours than proper orange 🤔 maybe another place would have some choice. Hope your Sunday has been ok love to the dogs 😘 xx

Hi bosh, hope things are ok today and you got your lie down. Lovely raven indeed 😊 and I do like that tea-pouring picture too, very clever, or coffee maybe. What a sweet poem, very descriptive of the hectic EF times and the quietness after, the absence of the little boy mafia, no cheese and not even any Fruit S*oots 😄 a diet unthinkable to littleys 😱 Bill too probably. Nice day today I had a walk again yesterday with another bit of the endlessly misaddressed person's post. Hope they enjoyed it, it was a bit official looking 😬. Have been in the garden, so am glad of a sitdown and tea now. Glad you are finding us cafe ladies to be agreeable female company thank you 😊 likewise of course (and the gents too, but they will have to wait for men's day for compliments and that's a long way off). Have a good evening :) xx

Very Happy Birthday Stuart 😊🥂🍰 hope your day is going as well as possible. Down the pub you said so cheers and many happy returns 🍻. Well done getting any gardening done the weather is too nice to turn down isn't it, hope you have not prompted any more achy bits than are to be expected. Trying to be careful myself but there is more fine weather hopefully. Have a good new week :) xx

Hi to SK hope family back safe and had a nice time away, and there has been some bike tinkering maybe 👍️. Did they bring back any interesting shopping, gothic model cathedrals or related stuff thereof 😀🏰. Have a good evening :) xx

Hope your day is ok Jojo, glad you got some washing out yesterday it makes all the difference doesn't 🌞 especially if you just want to rinse 1 or 2 odd things knowing you can have them back quickly not hanging about damp. Have a good new week hope everyone well :) xx

Kettle on ☕️😘 xx

Skinny Keef

hi everyone.
yes they back safe Toni/ Toady thanks. Nice jar of marmalade orange and ginger too.
i have zero inflammation today for first time in months, but I still have the old pain from the osteo stuff, but at least my singing voice is back as voice box isn’t swollen.

I have some new songs waiting to record but haven’t been able to sing.

Happy Birthday Stuart.

Hi Reshmi lovely photos.

Hi Dachshund and Jojo.

Skinny Keef

Dachshund, Sucré loved it. He said the best bit was the buffet breakfast at hotel. He ate LOADS! Lol.

Jojo_16

Hi toady yeah there's constant washing in this house we do have a dryer for bad days but if I can save a bit of electric I will yeah everyone is well here I hope you are well and I hope you have had a decent day.

Jojo_16

Hi skinny keef how are you doing today hope you have had a good day.

bosh

greetings toady Joan SK S knee Jojo

How are you all doing today?

Bit sauna - ish inside

👋toady

Glad you liked the poem and the raven pic

Yes I did get a nap thanks but an inadequate one as it was so warm

Mum made white bread using a bread maker and it was so nice, tasted like cake!

I’m rather lacquered again

I was watching T Hag or Bag lol and the town crier was announcing

“11 o’clock and all’s well today

We’re eating toady’s biccies while the vampire nurses go out to play”

Or words that effect, but he was simultaneously doing a kind of a knee physio dance haha

Maybe he’d eaten too many bananas?

Need to compensate before seeing GI Joe physio?

It’s not impossible

Have a good night all tc xx

Ps pic of Nasty M getting her priorities straight lol xx

Stuartknee

Hi all

My little Ollie is going down the vets for dental surgery, hope he gets on 👌

bosh

good morning Toni

Wppl xx

frogmorton

Morning everyone

Just letting you know im ok. Up to early already had my walk but it's only 3am here.

Stuart i hope Ollie goes on ok at the vets(())

Sorry this is short but we are at sea so Internet sporadic

bosh

hi Toni

Thanks for the message

Glad you are okay

Just wanted to say that Olivia is Oliver not sure how I misread that😂

But mother and baby are back from the hospital and are both fine. Hopefully they’re not both feasting on hot chocolate though not the baby at least haha

Glad that you’ve got a walk in. Bye for now.

Take care xx

Ps some kind of morning masala Chai type concoction xx

dachshund

Good morning everyone

Toni has a problem with the internet being on a ship she will come on when she can.

Toady (()) have a good day. I hope it’s a bit quieter today. I got some ginger biscuits coming tomorrow. I will see if I can find an orange rose. They didn’t do any. Thank you. We have rain.

Toni (()) have a good day I hope it’s not too bumpy on the ship.

Reshmi (()) have a good day love to your mum (())

Stuart Happy Birthday have a good day. I hope Ollie my little dog needs her teeth done but the vet won’t do them because of her being 15 in June.

Skinny Keef (()) have a good day. Sucre Is a good boy (()) love to Loanda (())

Skinny Keef

morning all.
zero inflammation again today thank goodness. Think mtx is finally working. Clear head, ears, nose, throat all not swollen. Singing voice still working. I owe so much to my specialist. I think he literally saved my life.
now if I could get that same done about my osteo pain i would be back on a skateboard in no time lol

oooooh Toni, ‘we are at sea!’ Sounds intriguing.

Hi everyone, Jojo, Reshmi, Dachahund, Toady and Stuart. Hope little one okay after the dental work. My little Chihuahua would only let me get him out of the cage after an anaesthetic he tried to bite everyone else lol.

Skinny Keef

hi Jojo, yes, a good day today thankfully, thank you. 😁

toady

Hi folks 👋 chillier today and no mistake 😬

Good to see you frog hope everything is plain sailing (yes I can think of nothing more original to say than that I'm afraid ⚓️) and hope the sun is shining on you. All fine here bit of gardening done, and now working my way round to tidying up for next workperson, due this very Thursday 😱 you are well out of it! Hope the internet is stable enough for you to do anything you need, get in touch with family etc. Love to Paul and we'll see you when we see you 😊👋 xx

Hello Joan yes thank you all quiet today in fact unusually so, what a difference it makes. Have been in the front garden as well as the back, weeding, like Stuart and no-one around 👍️. Hope you find a nice rose I have seen lovely ones while looking online in general but I mustn't tempt myself. Ooh ginger biscuits, lovely 😀 we are very ginger-y in the cafe at the moment with SK's marmalade as well,I have ginger preserve, even a little tin of ginger mint sweets. I bought a tub of malted drink on Saturday (the well known one with blue label) it's not cheap is it practically an investment these days! 😣. 'Fresco' used to do an own brand I don't think they bother now. Sorry you have rain, thanks for keeping us posted about Toni's internet 😘 xx

Hi to bosh, hope your day is ok 👋. Glad to hear your friend and baby are well 😊. Nothing much happening here, I am just chasing a nosegay parcel, one minute it wasn't even marked dispatched the next it has apparently been delivered to a gentleman in Cambridge 😮 something has gone very wrong there. Town criers doing knee dances on T Bag, and Darth taking on the role of Julie Andrews, well we are in surreal musical territory here right enough 😂 who thinks of these things 😄. Your mum's bread sounded super btw, is a different thing she hasn't made before or is the whole breadmaker new itself? Nice thing to have 👍️. Hope she's well today, have a good evening yourself :) xx

I hope Ollie is ok Stuart 🤞 horrible taking them isn't it, my one cat especially hated going and they probably hated seeing her 😬 the boy (tabby) was cool as a cucumber. Hope he is back home safe & sound now. Well done with the weeding, what is your approach do you have a no-bend long weeding tool or anything like that? All the best xx

SK am thrilled no end to hear how your inflammation is under control 😊 fantastic news. When drugs work boy do they change the picture 👍️ very glad for you too that you have your voice back. Full marks your specialist 😀. Have you had any further thoughts about pets / cats etc? What you said about your chihuahua, my cat bit my finger to the bone once at the vets I think on balance better me than the vet saved all that apologizing 😬. Have a good evening glad everyone well (I assume Loanda has got over the last of whatever thing she had). xx

Hope your day is ok Jojo how is the back now, glad you are into a spell of time off 😊👍️ have a good break :) xx

Love to all 😘 xx
