good afternoon Toni

How are you?

Mums ok 👍

That sounds like a good fan, I’ll have a look for that thanks

Yeah RR wears a lot of strange dungarees he only occasionally wears the “artist about town” look of stylish scarf, T - shirt and trousers ensemble “ lol

I’m okay thanks, moods a bit low, but better than the emotional high mood of yesterday thanks

I’m quite tired but of course that’s only natural with totm.

LA and I have bloods tomorrow, mine is just standard rheumo, but LA’s one was as he was feeling tired a lot recently, his parents think he’s feeling better now, but he’s having the bloods done just to confirm or something like that

I’m sure he’ll be fine, the promise of a lollipop makes most things ok for him, haha 🍭

But I can imagine him saying something funny along the lines of his actual (and also factual of course) early speech of the PCR test variety - remember he said ‘ I cry and cry on Saturdays and go for a PCR test on Sundays’?

so he might say “The vampire nurses are taking Mima and I’s blood on Fridays, then we get so weak that we have a ghostly pallor on Saturdays and we dance with toady’s phantom neighbour on Sundays

And evict the squatters from the biccie cupboard on Mondays

Then we devour all the vegan biccies on Tuesdays “ - that kind of thing- busy schedule haha

Have a good afternoon Toni tc xx

👋hi toady

How are you today?

I’m almost face - planting already but I did manage a walk 👍

maybe LA could be an assistant- blood letter?

Kind of a junior leech? But a cute leech of course with a predilection for cheese sarnies no doubt (mould strictly optional)

Have a nice day toady tc xx

Wasn't me Keef 😁

Hi all

Have been thinking of you this morning frog, didn't want to post first thing but you know I would be hoping for the best. At least it's done hope they get back to you promptly, Elfie and I are here with tea & can be a distraction if required 👍️.
Few plant pics in exchange for yours, in separate post, the flattering 'editors cut' you note, not the wide angle sweep of your lovely garden 😉😄. I can just imagine the glorious scent you are getting 😊 isn't everything looking beautiful - my delphinium is only thinking about flowering so far, yours is super. And the lupins, adore them. I would be quite happy with your meant to be pink peony, it's lovely. Thank you for posting them all 😊. You did well to get some good light, it was too bright for some of mine, and too windy for the dainty alliums they would not hold still so will be 'to follow'. Mine are just the lupin as promised, & my salvia just starting to flower, ditto the heuchera (very fond of those). And shh, but this may be the year of the radish! 🤫 wish me luck. The bodies, that's hilarious 😂😂 I may not have spotted but yes I would have done a doubletake 🤭. Have a good evening and enjoy your pasta 👍️ love to everyone 😘 xx

One of those days then Keef 😬 hope things went a bit more smoothly after the iffy start. Glad to hear the skool role play went to plan 😁 and fingers crossed, there is less need for it, that would be the ideal. Could be try it at drs appts do you think, one consultant in particular I would have loved to point at and say 'he was mean, unsympathetic and rude to me! what about the Hippocratic oath!' 😂. Love the stopwatch idea 👍️ simple & effective! Do you buy much on fleabay these days, they seem to be systematically spoiling the place, if you haven't noticed 🙄. What trains has sproglette got? Have a good evening I hope and that Anda got on ok 🤞 xx

Hello Joan, well done ringing up about Charlie, you tell 'em 👍️ 3 weeks' time that was very bad, hope they do turn up now. How is your garden, and your birds? There is not many signs of nesting now, but I kept seeing 3 pigeons yesterday lot of flapping in and out of the tress round & round so there was a bit of a squabble going on I expect 😉. No other news, I saw where they said some Ice**** branches were closing, it was just 2, the headline made it sound like a lot more. Hopefully not. Have a good evening it got round to Thursday quickly 😬 love to Pepper 😘 xx

Hi bosh, do hope LA gets on ok tomorrow 🤞 and you ofc, I do not think I like the idea of a bloods on Friday speech let alone a special diary slot, rather have some of the ordinary things they put in or used to like the more obscure holidays and religious days one wasn't quite sure what were, like 'Septuagesima' 😬. Well a leech in training might be not a bad thing, could come in handy 😂. Hope everyone else well at the moment. I'm not going to sing the praises of dungarees but I do have a tiny soft spot for them, only a small one, I do own one pair, that's as far as it goes 😳😄. Oh and thanks to you and the shower gel hair wash I wandered down a rabbit hole about the old childrens' rhyme 'Queen Caroline washed her hair in turpentine', and onto George IV and then very much off on a tangent 😂. Hope you have a good evening and best again for tomorrow 👍️ xx

Fence-painting Stuart oh don't 😣 I should be doing the same. Hope you get yours done, plenty of fine weathe yet you should be able to space it out nicely. Have a good evening

Very Happy Birthday for tomorrow Jojo 😊 wishing you a lovely day and a nice Saturday :) glad you got an appointment through 👍️ xx Just a little jamjar posy for you not my flowers or picture sadly, just liked them :)

Love to Carol and all cafe vistors xx

Hi

Skinny Keef

not again Reshmi, I was only one post away as well ☹️☹️☹️

Hi Toady, no I buy more on Temooo and Aliflabah than fleabay these day.
Sucré had got a few locomotives. It is the Brio track and trains. I know for sure he has The Flying Scotsman because I bought him that one, also a remote control one with a big train type lever to make it go and reverse and a little shunter that is too short to go around the bends very well and frequently derails which we treat as a full scale emergency sending in the police cars and air support, although last time that included the A10 Warthog anti tank aircraft and there was a friendly fire incident, one loco didn’t survive lol.

Evening everyone wppl.

hi Skinny Keef

Sorry about that accidental posting at top of new page indiscretion😂

How are you?

how is Sucre and Loanda now?

have a good evening take care x

Skinny Keef

hi Reshmi, my two are fine thank you. Anda back to normal, well normal for her.
Although her mum (Niff) is now ill with similar symptoms i think its Covid rather than food poisoning now but what do I know, nuffink

I am having an early night, riddled with inflammation and pain. I can hear Sucré having a hissy fit downstairs coz his rice pudding is falling off his spoon. Honestly that child has everything he wants and sometimes is just an absolute pain.

Catch everyone tomorrow. Night allxx
