    Good afternoon all

    Hope you are all having a goodish day. We had some lovely thunder storms last night. Still really sticky though.

    Sorry I did not get on last night, but Tony had his appointment and there's nothing that seems bad. But the dr does want to do some more tests on him. But at least it makes a change for a dr to want to find out and not just send him away. So, now is getting his sugars right or at least lower.

    Elizabeth, I have an apology to make, it was my left arm, and yes Barbara, it is all coming from the neck and shoulder. I know I keep saying it but I am losing my mind. I saw a friend today and she asked me why I had not replied to her text. I insisted that I had but we arranged to meet next. When I got home, I checked and she was right. I hadn't replied. :? :oops: :roll: Is there any hope I ask.

    Barbara, hope you enjoyed your walk into your little town with hubby.

    To everyone else, at the mo I cannot for the life of me remember what I have previously read, so just sending love and hugs to all.
    Karen xx

    Bon Soir Mes amies!!

    I hope you are all doing well at the mo?

    It's fabulous here in France warm and lovely. The pool is great and easy to get into with Roman steps.

    I am 70% through the first book I downloaded to my kindle ;)

    Take care everyone

    Love

    Barbara, glad you enjoyed your walk. It is a shame for shopkeepers in towns where there aren't many people. They work just as hard as in the busy towns to keep their businesses going. Hope you enjoy tomorrow with the birthday girl.

    Karen, glad Tony's test results were ok. It is good that they are doing more tests. I've had a GP tell me he didn't know what was wrong after tests came back fine and just send me away. Hope he gets his sugars under control. I wouldn't worry about the missing text. Just blame brain fog and the hot weather. :lol:

    Bonsoir Toni. Sounds wonderful over there. I'm not jealous. Really. I'm not. :mrgreen:

    Hope you're all having a good weekend.

    Christine its awful watching our town become a ghost one..I was born here and remember it being so busy...then the supermarkets came along...I have lost count how many we have nearby and there is another on the way.... :x our council should be held to count for selling land..sorry I'm off again..I nearly got arrested once for this ...a long story... :roll:
    Come on we will go and join Toni...sure she wont mind.... :lol:
    The sun is shinning again...birthday goirl is coming later with her cake and more goodies.. :D

    Morning all

    Hope you all got a good night sleep.

    Barbara, it is such a shame how buildings seem to pop up on every spare piece of land. If we go on like this we will have no more countryside left. That's terrible.

    Give your granddaughter a big cuddle from me on her first birthday. My goodness, that time has gone so quick.

    Toni, I too want to come over and join you, especially the pool with the steps. Wow, you wouldn't get me out of there. Keep enjoying.

    Hope everyone has an enjoyable Sunday.

    mini holiday booked to see my family. I'm really excited. I've had a quiet afternoon as OH took my Son out to see some steam trains. I WAS supposed to go too but Daughters tummy playing up a bit so she wanted to stay home so OH taken our Son out alone. So been busy sorting out a few things while it is quiet.

    I could do with a sleep but expect they'll be back soon.

    Glad Tony's results are okay Karen and they didn't just dismiss him.

    Toni I am envious. Enjoy the croissants and pastries and swimming in the pool.

    Hope DIL results come back okay Applerose. Its out of your hands but must be so worrying.

    Right off for my cuppa,

    Elizabeth

    Elizabeth you got some quiet time....good for you...

    Barbara, so glad the wee one had a good time today. And standing withyour crutches...you should have got someone to take a pic, that I would love to have seen. Hope you are feeling not to bad at the mo.

    Elizabeth, so glad you are going to get a break. And to see your family too. You do deserve a break. Hope your son enjoyed his time with the steam Trains, and hope your daughter is feeling a bit better now.

    Toni, if you are not careful, you are going to receive a load of visitors. We all want to come I think.

    Right, I am going to bid you all a good night. Hope you all manage some sleep.

    Right Toni....... I am on my way..... That's when I can find my passport :lol:
    So glad you're having a wonderful time :)

    I've been AWOL because of a dodgy router. Our internet provider sent out a new one and that was duff too :o . To top it all. my laptop is playing up and I may have to buy a new one. Trouble is, I don't like the look of windows 8 - that's because I'm useless with computers :lol::lol::lol:

    A belated 'Happy Birthday' to your little grand-daughter, Barbara. What a lovely age :)

    Hope everyone is managing ok :)

    Evening all

    Hope you have all had a goodish day.

    Toni, I will have to be smuggled in as I don't have a passport. Do any of you have a large suitcase I could jump in. I read your post about the swimming pool and I went into a dream of being in a lovely cool pool on a lovely hot day. Ummm.

    Barbara, are you going to iron sitting down. And, re your not sleeping, have a word with your dr, they should be able to give you something to help you go off to sleep.

    Catie, do you know, I don't even know what I have. windows is about all I know. That's what I am like with computers.

    Christine, how are things with your dil. I am thinking of you all.

    To everyone else, sending hugs.

    ps..
    Barbara, I have a itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow pokerdot bikini. Not a pretty sight I can tell you xx

    Elizabeth, hope your son enjoyed the trains. Glad you've got the holiday booked. You could do with the break. Hope your daughter if feeling better today.

    Aaw, Barbara, your GD sounds so sweet with her little tutu on and using your crutches to stand. Hope you got some ironing done but not too much. Can your GP help with your sleeping and your back?

    Toni, I've packed my bikini and toothbrush. On my way. Mmmm, a lovely glass of wine sitting round the pool in the sun. Couldn't get much better.

    Catie, good to see you. Wondered where you were. Hope you get your laptop sorted out.

    Karen, I've got a big suitcase. You could jump in there.

    Mig, are you already sat at the pool with Toni?

    Phoned my dil this afternoon but she said they told her it would be 4 weeks before they could give her the results. Thanks for asking.

    My boss and his family are on holiday now so that means my boss's mum is popping in every now and again and flapping about. Is there any post? Have there been any phone calls? There's a light flashing on the phone. I don't know what to do about that. I'll have to phone my daughter about it. Are all the doors locked? Has any milk been delivered? Aaaaargh! My boss only asked her to check the business mail, nothing else.

    Hope you are all enjoying the cooler temperatures.

    Morning Everyone,

    I was up with the sparrows again....same old problem....
    Hope everyone else had a better night.

    Barbara, your last post did make me smile with the animations :)
    Our router was sent free of charge, so I hope you will be sent one Barbara.

    Karen, when I spoke with my internet provider because I was unable to access my emails, I could sense the level of despair in his voice lol. He began by asking me what version of Internet Explorer I had.... Panic this end because I didn't know lol. He spent 45 mins sorting me out - that's how bad I am. My daughter told me that next time she will sort everything :D

    Christine, what a nightmare with that lady popping in :?
    I'm so sorry your poor d-i-l has to wait 4 weeks for her result. Having to wait for such news is agonising I know. We are all wishing for the very best of news for her :)

    Elizabeth, I'm so pleased you're going to have a break, because you deserve one. I think we all admire the way you cope with everything :)

    Toni, I am thinking about those croissants you'll be eating for breakfast. Am I jealous........ You bet :lol::lol::lol:

    It was sunny early on this morning but its clouded over....I am taking your advice and going to see my GP today for something to help me sleep ...its awful with this back being so painful....trouble is I will have to stand in my docs there chairs are to low... :shock:

    Christine - your wine is poured (even if it is only 11.14am :wink: )

    Catie - I am the same when I ring my provider - I won't do it unless it's essential!!! No way :( I bought myself a new router in the end and it helped no end.

    Barbara I am so glad you are seeing the doc...your poor back :( Hope driving the bus yesterday didn't make it worse ;)

    Love
