Hi all 👋

Glad to hear Paul is responding to doing good work on his foot and look at Elfie, oh what an example to us all, what a star 😀. I trust his temp was within normal Elfie range 🌡️. Hope Paul's London trip gives him a few days yet and isn't straight after the weekend. Oh yes can we plot over our lovely houses please 😊 yours does sound like a snip for that! mine is even pricier, talk about cloud cuckoo land 😂 well who knows. Nice garden too it was. The shears are here, no-one asked to see me - they didn't say they would want to, specifically; whether they did one of those behind the scenes id things checking your financial details? 🤷‍♀️ even so I may not be the person here on the day to take them in. Mind you being a responsible age doesn't mean I'm not going to run amok with pruning shears does it 🤔😉. Getting someone lined up to do your gates is good and as you've done things to your planter too full marks to you 😀 oh and a dear robin how lovely. Nothing else going on as I have the boilerman manifestation tomorrow, as Reshmi so aptly put it, I'm sure he is actually looking forward to it 😱😱. Have a good evening love to all 😘 xx

Hello Joan, the storm does not seem to be coming this way, as far as I can tell, it is wet the next couple of days but no more than breezy. I'd rather it was nice weather after that anyway as hopefully the boilerman will be gone and I can get out if I want. No you didn't mention the underdressed lady 😬 there are some very skimpy clothes about and short shorts etc but I can't imagine what would get into you, not just throwing on some light clothes 😮 it takes all sorts! Glad Pepper has his little routines and waits for his friend Charlie 😊 is he much the same healthwise (Charlie I mean) and following his diet a bit or not at all? Have a good evening 😊😘 xx

Hi bosh, oh gosh that sounds like quite an extended littley visit as well as nearer than you thought 😬 I hope your mum is not cooking enough to lay siege for weeks, and it all goes well. Your sis will appreciate it ofc. My gastric situation was not that marvellous overnight, I blame some salad potatoes with their skins on, I think, I've never really worked out how I get on with nightshades it's not cut & dried anyway 🤷‍♀️ how about you? The muffin sounded very nice, good that they have a choice and some more healthy ingredients 👍️. My new makeup is here I will report back lol, I got a new foundation too separately from catazon. I noticed a review for something else, a bag, that had been written by the AI, it was one of those vine reviewer things, well it's a bit much if you can't even be bothered to write your own stuff but there we are, never overestimate people 🙄. Have a good evening and thank you for the offer of LA as backup for the boilerman, because if there is one certain thing it is that by day 2 I will want to throttle him 😄. Take care xx oh btw jumpers yes not my favourites but I do have a detente with them when the time comes, including a nice light one myself, would ofc just rather the time did not come yet 🤞🌞.

Hi Jojo hope you are feeling a little brighter today and having a non work day too is helping. Good luck for bloods it is nearly all of us this these last week & next week or so it seems, we are keeping the phlebotomists busy 😬. Have a good evening I hope 👍️ xx

My tea time came earlier than yours for once Stuart I was very glad of one too, it was a horrid night. Your poor mum taking a trip like that, it was in the garden I sprained my ankle, our gardens are trying to get us 😱 I hope she's ok she didn't let it stop her anyway, I would be the same, but hope not too many more bumps or bruises come out later. xx

Wave to SK if passing 😊👋 xx

Hi toady I'm feeling a bit better today thanks got though a good few jobs and plenty of washing in and out my foot is still painful but it has been all the way through my holiday. I hope you are well and I hope you have had a good day I hope you sleep well tonight.

Hi Toni

How are you tonight?

That’s a good point about jumpers

It’s not always easy to know which ones will be itchy is it?

I’ve got a very ookey stomach I’m afraid

ETA of EF - as it were haha - is about 4 or 5 pm tomorrow

I’m practically face - planting here

So goodnight Toni tc xx

👋toady how are you?

Potatoes and tomatoes etc are ok for me but if I’m feeling gastrically compromised I won’t eat the potato - skins

Sorry my stomach has asserted itself, so to speak, so energy stocks have been depleted- but not cheese stocks thankfully

So I will bid you good night tc xx

Sorry about your own gastric woes by the way

👋Jojo I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better good night tc xx

👋Joan thanks yes mum needs rest and pampering, but she’s a stubborn lady lol good night xx

👋night SK and S knee xx

Thank you bosh I hope you are well and I hope you sleep well tonight.

Morning Joan I hope you're ok? Pepper too. How is Brenda has she recovered from her holiday? I bet she feels like she's never been away bless her. Not too much rain here I don't think although to be fair the ground seems to still be dry and it feels like we've had a lot recently🙄 Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo 29th for you 20th for Stuart hopefully you'll both start getting sorted then. Jojo you must ask what treatment/options are available for you and keep collecting those photos. Back to work grrrr😕 Oh well everyone will be pleased to see you at least and Michael will have coked your dinner for when you get back. Then feet up and relax ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef how are you? Has the flare settled now? Hope the family are all ok. Have you been able to get to see your Mum lately? Sending ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart Hope you and your Mum and the cats are all ok. Your Mum is a trouper getting on with it after her fall hope her bruise isn't too bad. Don't you forget your photos too for the 20th and if your Mum is up to going with you to it take her. Have a good day((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how are you and your Mum? Both ok I hope you need to be. I am sending a load of cheese blearios this morning c/o Elfie so they will arrive very soon probably before you wake up.

Sometimes jumpers feel fine in teh shop and you think lovely this will do but when you wear them no way! I have some long sleeved vests they do not itch and are ideal worn underneath jumpers on really cold day - months in this country!

Your Mum likes to care for people and in her book caring means feeding. I expect she is sending your sister home with supplies too to save her from cooking herself for a few days.

Apart from maybe an hour in the garden sweeping up yesterday Paul was very well behaved Feet up, but I had an idea sparked by yours of sending LA to scare him into submission. Once he is there, feet up and a-quaking, we get BR to flatten him in place! Job done😊Bish Bosh Bash😉 A different take on 'we'll send the boys round'😂

Today we are off to meet up with Paul's EF just for a family meal out at least.

Yes you may well be tired and your Mum is in for some disturbed nights too, but it will be a week of lots of entertainment. I hope you'll be able to post but if time is in short supply just store those memories away until they've gone. I love LA and BR stories. Tales from the Reading Riviera.

Take care deep breathe in! Enjoy them😊 ((())) xxx

Morning Toady everything ok? We are thinking of you; me and Elfie (he is running over to Bosh's with extra cheese and Blearios) Sleek is coming to yours in her boilersuit ready to help the boilerman so she isn't thinking of yo she intends to be paw-on.

I am almost ready in the garden for the afternoon tea very busy delivering tickets here and there though. We are looking pretty tidy although as you know a lot has gone over. Man coming to do the gates on Friday so by the skin of our teeth but definitely do-able.

I suppose being of adulk age does not guarantee you won't do anything dangerous with sharp implements does it🤔 Gets them off the hook if you do I suppose.

That's it with that house in the next village - it's a total gorgeous bargain! They are usually well over a million there so all I have to do is….something to make enough to have it. sigh….. Your was probably the same one day Toad, one day we can dream.

Take care see you on the other side ((())) xxx

Morning frogmorton yeah hopefully I can get to the bottom of it my foot is still really painful I'm thinking I might have to make a doctor's appointment not like they are ever do much to help I'm already on codeine again it's not doing much for the pain. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.
