Skinny Keef

hi everyone, feeling a bit better, enough to visit the café and not be all d&g which isn’t fair on everyone. So hello all you lovely people. 😁

Still haven’t seen my consultant but might not bother now as i think it was just a bad flare.

How is the fig now Toni, all fixed?

have i missed any poetry Reshmi?

hello everyone else. Thats all i can type for now.

Skinny Keef

oooh my sister could open that. She’s really posh. Me, not so much ha ha.

Hi all 👋 quite a tiring day. BUT it didn't rain for my bloods appt 😀 had a little walk after off slightly the beaten track of the town and saw 2 squirrels, 2 robins, a male & female 'banded demoiselle' damselfly, a ladybird and a cat asleep in a little church garden 😄. And heard a bird that I couldn't spot. Bit of a comedown to get back into town and all you see is the lesser-trousered male on their mobile, with their distinctive loud call 'alright mate spot on mate no worries mate' 😉.

Do hope all's well with you frog hope to catch up with your news in due course 🤞 glad the village evening was good, so sweet about Sleek bless her, she must have thought it's a miracle! Mummy's bought ham, or am I dreaming? 😂. Hope Elfie did pitch in with the clearing up. Nice little amount for the funds 👍️. Sorry to hear btw that Fig has a leak, and after being 'treated' to new things so recently, there's gratitude 😣. Hope not a long job. I hadn't remembered about your agapanthus sorry, things go in one ear and out the other 😳 what got them? weather? I collect seeds and always mean to grow more on, but don't get around to it, though I have split them once so could do again if needs be. No rain at all to date except overnight, which was ok by me. Take care sending best wishes for everything 😘 xx

Hello Joan, why was I convinced your appt was a telephone one 🤔 just saying to Toni how sieve-like my brain is. Hope it went well? Mine was fine I was in very quickly and a nice nurse, my vein is excellent for bloods it's one of my finest features the nurses always love me 😂 but it is a good tip about drinking. I'll remember that it's bloods for you next. How nice to get those things belatedly for Brenda she will have been pleased 😊. I went for a little walk and I looked into a tiny branch of Asd* express we have, I've never been in there or any branch for as long as I can remember! My High Street had changed again some shops going some moving &c all looks very strange now 🤷‍♀️. Love to you & Pepper 😘 xx

Hi bosh, glad group was ok even if there were a few mini social minefields to navigate 😬 (I expect RR will have thought no more about it after that) and some slightly wrong layers. Must say it was warmer today than I expected too. My bloods were ok, it was also my injection day because I left it to be Thurs having forgotten last time's, may go back to Weds after - I have 2 new insect bites so there isn't much that hasn't been jabbing me with something today! 😣 Hope mxt is lenient and neither of us need the unfortunate gastric sign 😬. Far rather the complimentary biscuit 😂. Oh I did put my makeup order through in the end and I confess there may be something with a plumping effect 😂 just because I wanted to try the colour. On my own head be it! I noticed a lot of flavours in lip stuff since you mentioned it, honey and caramel etc, don't really want it myself. Have a good day tomorrow hope EF are ok as poss &c :) xx

Glad things are alright with you Jojo and hope you've had a nice day 👍️. Maybe on the beach again 🏖️. My bloods were ok thank you, well depending what's in them of course 😬 and I had a little walk, pleased to say my ankle is behaving well now and can walk more normally. Hope you have a good evening :) take care all xx

Yo Keef 😊 glad you feel the flare has subsided that's great (bet you 5p Toni will say to see your consultant anyway 😉), hope family ok. You know we never mind a bit of d&g but understand that you don't want to (and obvs don't want you to have cause for it!), nice to see you in - take care :) xx

Have a good night Stuart 😴 did you have rain in the day or just overnight? Nothing here now til Sunday, so they say. Take care love to cats :) xx

hi Toni or tone - a very nice lady, who doesn’t mind listening to me moan and groan, when big Babu doesn’t leave the family alone (well not for very long anyway haha)

How are you doing tonight Toni?

I love the picture of your car. I’m glad that you raised some money for the friends of the village

Yes it was nice to have a bit of time to relax with mum without dad for a change, Thanks
RR the self-proclaimed hygiene King, who washes hands properly, I also think that’s a bit weird ha ha, so maybe he hasn’t bathed since 1645? Oh dear, that sounds very worrying indeed, lol

I think it’s the end of next week that the nephews coming I need to check with mum

so chicken, nugget and chips supplies in the south-east coast will dwindle to a bare minimum I’m afraid haha

I did write start writing a poem, but it became a bit of a kind of personal rant about certain annoying friends and this and that, so maybe not quite the stuff of VC unfortunately, but I will of course write another poem for us as soon as my muse is ready
If my muse is LA though, the subject of the next poem may very well be the lyrics for the next scrambled egg song

I would say to LA, this isn’t very inclusive not everybody eats eggs such as lovely Toni here,

but I’m a bit worried about his response.
he may say You tell Toni that cashew cheese is all very well but the best cheese is orange as carrots

even though not technically containing carrots,

I don’t know all this lyrical food - speak at all becoming a bit too complicated for me,

I think I might have to stick to Earl grey with soy milk and if I want to eat something I may take food capsules

available from the pharmacist and GI Joe physio mind you that the tablets from the physio are not quite legal, so bear that in mind😂

I’m not too bad thanks Toni rested quite a lot today which is of course boring in a way,

but maybe tomorrow I’ll be at filled with energy as if I’d received intravenous porridge or something like that

Mum and dad and are okay thanks I guess thanks, well they’re arguing but that’s nothing new

it was my sisters and Bills wedding anniversary today - well the registry office wedding anniversary.
Basically I’m not sure if they did anything to celebrate

Maybe bill got a takeaway and ate the whole thing

after all that’s more or less what he does with the chocolates isn’t it? Haha

Have a good night, Toni and take care xx

Ps funny translation or a warning from gi joe physio perhaps? Xx

hi SK

glad you’re feeling a bit better
No, you’ve not missed anything Spectacular poetry wise

just a poem about make up bags which is of course it’s not everyone’s cup of tea haha
Have a good night take care x

bosh

hi toady

How are you doing tonight?

No rain during bloods and a walk off the beaten track- sounds very good to me

Yes RR takes offence rather too easily to be honest haha

No gastric events for me today, not so far that is, but I almost feel like the gastric gods are listening and if we write too loudly about it, they will curse us as if we had recently dined on a six foot cheese sandwich haha

The king of cheese and his little bro are coming soon, next weekend I think, I’m going to check with mum

Yes tire / balloon / lip plumping makeup is hard to avoid I know

Yes all family members are more or less ok thanks

have a good night toady tc xx

👋Jojo I’m glad your son is feeling better good night tc xx

👋Joan and S knee tc xx

Ps if anyone is unlucky enough to need the dentist soon, It might be best to avoid this establishment haha xx

Morning Joan Hope you and Pepper are ok? Yes Paul is a workaholic so for him to come back he was worried. He is having bloods this morning it could be his heart possibly as well or even not be cellulitis but only his heart. He had worked on his feet very physically for 12 hours on an already swollen foot. Then he started to get very very hot in his torso. The Dr thinks he'll see something in the bloods to confirm that. Take care ((())) xxx

Thank you Jojo We'll get Paul sorted out soon. Hope your boy is enjoying his holiday now making some friends. He has your daughter to support him I expect she does. How is your pain? Are you getting the chance to rest yourself? Or are you having too much fun to care? 😊 ((())) xxx

Hi Toady bloods. Lovely - not! Paul is having bloods today. He saw a GP yesterday he is thinking his heart is struggling a bit maybe. Not lots but a bit. Well 'they' never did do all the tests on him before I'm sure he just gave up.

Oh Toad that did make me laugh your lovely walk seeing all that wildlife and then seeing all the lesser trousered males in the town🤣 Gross I think - shorts are for temperatures above 25 methinks😂 Ideally well above! Why do they do it?🤢

My agapanthus just didn't come up this year at all and my heart wasn't in trying again. Normally they go on forever here. None there for me to split. Next year I will gather up my energy hopefully.

Elfie did help clear up he always does. Like lightening and very well too. As for Penelope I think it was done at the garage because it is only (I hope) antifreeze. He had replaced it with green (as he pink which was in there was wrong) and the fluid leaking is green and watery. So nothing major. I reckon he didn't tighten something so it won't cost.

We also had loads of rain here overnight yesterday. Luckily dry enough for the ladies who came to the meeting to see where we can set up tables. So much wonderful help for the afternoon tea! also the long range forecast is good😊

A nice day ahead Toad let's get outside! Stuart can come too and Sleek😁((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef great to see you and hear you are feeling so much better😊 Penelope is much better, but leaking (I think antifreeze) so nipping back to get that sorted this week. She looks good don't you think? Antifreeze is highly toxic to cats (who like it as it's sweet) so I can't wash her until it's fixed I am keeping her mostly in the garage over a drip tray. Dropping her off on Sunday. How are the bikes? Any progress on getting Anda one?

Does sound like a flare I agree you had. A nasty one though which you have successfully got through. Not easy, but I hope your boy was good distraction. Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how are things? You and your Mum both well I hope? Lovely little tiny Toni ditty there!

I do a mean vegan tofu scrambled eggs so i can feel included in any future egg type poetry influenced by a certain LA☺️ Of course if the boys are going to be with you that will be your main focus. Couldn't not be bless them

I think everyone in Reading needs to urgently get their cheese and nuggets supplies in before they arrive next weekend. Has anything been announced yet on public radio? Never mind the Govt testing their emergency alert in September - surely something needs to go out about these potential essential food shortages😯

Your sister had better take the chance to rest while the boys are with you.

Yesterday was a bit boring for you? Hopefully today you will have lots of energy (ignore GI Joe's supplements I do, genuinely I agree not all are even legal) and can manage a nice walk for yourself.

Yelling dentist?😮 I'm giving that particular one wide berth,

3am Stuart?! That's a bit much! How are you in yourself? Have you seen the consultant yet or did I miss you going? How is your Mum and how are the cats?🐱 ((())) xxx
