Hey Toady and Dachshund. Hope u all okay.

What happened with the snake?

Skinny Keef

hey Reshmi, strange fotos, especially the loo rolls lol. Hope you all good and dad is behaving.

bosh

hi toady

How are you tonight?

I dealt with a FB sleazy, cricket batted him into the next universe lol

These people never give up

Never mind I feasted on sugar food of the undisclosed variety

But don’t worry still eating in a balanced way mostly

Yes bread - ordering that could’ve been much worse

Just imagine if BR only consumed rye bread with his Toady Grey of a morning?

I’d have to arrange an al fresco delivery for 4 am just to be on the safe side lol

I was catching up on my texts and emails to friends today

As even by my standards the whole process had become exceedingly disorderly and chaotic lol

So bit of organisation in the chaos can only be a good thing 👍

Getting a bit sauna - like now

Mum has a routine kidney appointment at the hospital tomorrow, early morning again

I started my iron tablets yesterday, ferrous fumigate haha

Did make me feel a bit ookey but could’ve been worse I guess

If you could get the midnight milkman to supply some blearios just in case the the aristocratic littleys change their mind about what constitutes a gourmet breakfast repast, i would be very grateful lol

Have a good night toady tc xx

👋thanks SK lol, how are you?

well dad’s relatively behaving thanks - it could be worse

👋Toni how are you tonight? Sorry it’s sauna - time again

BR said he’s not a sous chef (he pronounces it Seuss chef lol) he’s the big chef and big brudder is the subordinate - oh dear! So fairy cake - baking with granny may become a challenge lol

Mum’s kidney appointment tomorrow

👋good night Toni SK Joan Jojo and S knee tc xx

ps time to procrastinate haha xx

Morning Joan all went well at the hospital just took a few hours. History first then measurements then the 25 electrodes get attached. Then they do a 'normal' EEG including hyperventilation and strobe lights (takes about half an hour) then finally attaching Lucy up to a portable box.

I know no Coronation street! Football again🙄 still we have only just caught up with all the ones Paul recorded while we were away.

Have a good day Joan ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo that's good that you take paracetamol. Like you I can't take ibuprofen either, but paracetamol are good for milder stuff aren't they? Better for your stomach too in the long run. I'd rather take nothing though I bet you agree.

You have it sorted then for all of your animals while you're away. My daughter's brother in law he feeds anything scary and the dogs go with them. I do the cats. For my other two girls I do their cats for them they do mine. ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart I'm so glad Ollie is all done. Is he ok now? Poor little boy (()) still it's for the best. Hope your head is better now.

Well you know exactly what I think of hospitals then Skinny Keef the QE in Birmingham is where we found ourselves (me and Lucy via ambulance) when she had leukaemia so we spent a lot of time there it's a tough time isn't it? Luckily all is well now apart from the remaining epilepsy which is ongoing but manageable. No free parking (if you can find a space at all🙄) nope, but we did used to get a chemo pass back when she was really ill.

How are you feeling today yourself? well done getting out on the bike I bet that felt good. I am taking Sleek to the vet later in the Fig it just does our mental health so much good doesn't it?😊Sleek probably prefers it too🤭

Very good of you to cook for everyone in-laws and all they are very lucky.

No sign of Clapton in Antigua no Simon Cowell, Mick Jagger or even Elton John in Barbados😉

Take care((())) xxx

Reshmi how are you today? Doing ok I hope. Glad to hear your Mum got on ok. I reckon that patch has been a real help you know keeping things steady. Everyone should have one don't you think? Does she have to cover it in the bath?

Yes that's definitely how I picture RR! does he ever wear shades? I bet he does….

I could see you were rather running late yesterday I hope today is a bit less busy for you. Ablute. If it isn't a wrod already it jolly well ought too be!

Take care Reshmi ((())) xxx

Morning Toady

2 pairs of finches yesterday!!!! 2! How amazing is that? I need a camera well one to borrow really as my phone is good enough really. The bird pinching Paul's left overs I thought was their version of a Dunnock yes. We also had pigeons at breakfast keeping us company. But really you must must must eat outside when you can mustn't you. So rarely can you do that in the UK.

Elfie has calmed a little though he has taken possession of my sunglasses.

I suspect it will be at least Friday before I get near the greenhouse again, but you can't win 'em all can you? Just got to get through this week life should get easier.

Plotting and mumbling were you? Sounds perfect🤭 Sleek did say you two are busy thinking and planning. She thinks the little basil might do ok. Oh Toady let's hope we have a good gardening year! I must protect this shoulder at all costs. Last year was ruined by it wasn't it?

Hope your day is a good one Sleek will be over later after her J*A*B no a dicky bird eh?

Take care ((())) xxx

Skinny Keef

morning all.
Toady, the mtx makes me feel rubbish for 24 hours, then I seem to be okay for 3 or 4 days, then the migraines start again. At least that is how it seems last couple of weeks. If I’m bad I still have a bad head all week. When i first started taking it it was like i was cured, but that didn’t last long which was a massive disappointment.

Wppl xx

dachshund

Jojo_16

Morning frogmorton I hope you are well yes parocetmol are good for mild pain and worse pain sometimes I need codeine although I'm trying to ease off them now I don't want to be addicted to them. Yeah I'm all covered for holidays. I'm pleased you have some help when you go on holiday.

Jojo_16

Thanks dachshund hope you have a good day too.

Skinny Keef

Bad head again. Come on in last half hour. Was playing guitar but now can’t ☹️

Mtx day too. ☹️☹️

bosh

hi Toni

Good afternoon

How are you today?

Mums ok 👍

Mum had a routine kidney blood test today early this morning

I’m tired but ok 🙏

Yes nasty weather for our skin

No kicking choc bar vending machines may not be kind on our knees

I’ll post later unless I fall asleep lol

Bye for now Toni tc xx

Stuartknee

Ollie had a tooth out spent the night spaced out. Took him down the vets this morning because he was not eating or drinking or been to the loo, so the vet rubbed an appetite cream on him, it worked the old Ollie is back!

bosh

hi Toni

How are you?

I’ve made some notes and am trying to atone for my sins by answering old post(s)

A long time ago I had a very skinny pregnant colleague who was Jamaican I believe

She would eat the biggest portion of rice and peas you’ve ever seen in your life I lunchtime ha ha

yes both equine individuals will come to the holiday resort called Reading, but just for one night initially

no, I would not dare to present the anger out sign to my parents, I would explode in a fiery pool of magma
I agree with you this is definitely ookey skin season, however much I moisturise it never seems to be enough

no, I have not seen EF recently
However, Bill was in the middle of planning a Mother’s Day meal, well he started to plan it anyway but I’m not sure what’s happened. I think maybe he was distracted by something else but I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing EF for Mother’s Day although I don’t know exactly what the arrangements are yet

okay I’ll leave it there for now Toni

have a good rest of the afternoon bye tc xx

👍greetings toady, Joan, JoJo, SK and S knee

Bye for now all and take care and tc xx

Ps image, I found on bin - terest Japanese, sweet potato bread, vegan xx

toady

Afternoon all 👋

Half asleep after a disturbed night, partly just unsettled, partly from outside, some sort of neighbourhood commotion 🙄 (best estate agent voice) it is a very nice neighbourhood honest 😬. Wish I'd given in and got up for a cup of tea round 2am it would save saved waking up twice.

Hope your day is better than that frog, have not been outdoors much myself. Two pairs of finches, oh super 😊 that's lovely to see & know they are there hopefully bagsing their territories. Yes we must please have a good gardening year, give at our best shot anyway, and you hang onto your shoulder (and your hollyhocks) so you have a sporting chance 👍️. I am a bit worried that as usual my seed list will sneak up on me, one minute plenty time for 'sow Feb/March' items, next week will suddenly go 'don't panic but it's not March anymore..' and yes the clocks, that's another marker 😬. This week looks nice so will apply myself if poss. I will give bulletins on the basil if they seem to be doing well, I have a thyme that I'm not sure intends to get going again 🤔 all my salvia look fine anyway. All the daffs from my mixed bag I bought are plain yellow daffs, where are my interesting ones 🤨 hmm. Hope you can get to the greenhouse soon - I have a third of a tidy garage 😄. Glad all went well with Lucy and good luck for tomorrow 👍️ what a week, poor Sleek too, I shall do some cat-mollifying if I can . Nice shades Elfie 😎 hang on to that holiday mood it will be your turn soon I expect 🏖️. Take care all & yes the week will pass 😘 xx

Hello Joan, yes the neighbour is still quiet maybe has finally run out of improvements thankfully. Not so quiet up the street here last night but have caught up today now as everything is ok and I had nothing to do myself. Might get some washing out tomorrow 😊 it looks really a very nice forecast for quite a way ahead if they don't sneak too much rain in. At least it is warm for the corn snake hopefully it will find itself a bolthole. At least it won't do anyone any harm. Have a good evening, it feels like Sunday to me 😮 I am often a day out but never this much 😄. Love to the dogs & yourself 😘 xx

Quick hi to bosh, yes I do hope there are no unforeseen supply chain issues with the littleys catering list 😬 can't rely on the milkman as you know, he might bring 'will o' the (rice) wispies' if there are no blearios 😱 it had better be belt & braces! Well done batting the sleazy person for six 👍️ yes there is no shortage and like the Pacman ghosts they do just keep coming 🙄. Hope your day has been ok so far and the ferrous fumigate is at least at single ook level and not double, and hope your mum got on alright of course. See you anon I will be napping shortly hope you get some rest in too 🤞 xx

Blah Keef 😟 I didn't realize that you felt the helpfulness of the meds had peaked, maybe just a blip I hope. Sorry symptoms have stopped play today and hope you have a better spell soon, if you are right about the pattern of the mxt then the head should improve tomorrow at least 🤞 best to everyone hope Sucré is getting on ok with the eye drops, is he off school today? xx

Hi Jojo hope your day is going well. Have been turning out my garage and found a rather large remains of spider, quite glad I did not run into it in life 😬 it would have been a job for the net on a pole I have. That's the trouble with garages etc I have a shed I store a couple of things in but am not brave enough to go in otherwise, always far too cobwebby 🕸️. Hope family ok, not that long til the school holidays is it 😮 how did that happen, I am meant to have got more things done by Easter than this 😬. Take care :) xx

Well done Ollie 😺👍️ did the vet have any theories about his other digestive issues Stuart? Hope he goes on ok now, and your day is not too bad, all the best to your mum too :) xx

Skinny Keef

hi Toady, yes he has Tuesdays off anyway as he only at Nursery atm till September. If we pay for the nursery sessions this year we get a 50% reduction in skool fees inbthe first two years so it is worth it and he absolutely LOVES going. He was almost in tears at the weekend because he couldn’t go. We said the teachers have to have time off and he said can we just go and look to make sure they closed.
His eyes are much improved after 4 doses during the day, and I will go in at lunchtime tomorrow to do his drops.

Right I have spent all afternoon in bed sleeping off this bad head and Sucré is snoring in my bed now having just been read a chapter of the first Harry Potter boom by Anda, and we all off to bed now so catch you all tomorrow hopefully. Night all. xx

Hi everyone.
ive not been on for along time. I have had a lot going on in my life over the last however many months it is I have not posted lots of health problems with myself and mr T. I have followed some of your post. I have missed telling you all what’s going on in our lives and would love to start posting again. Some of you will not know me but I think it’s about time I made the effort to post again. I always looked upon the group as my extended family and I have really missed that. I will leave it this for now but will post again soon.
