Hi all 👋 tea please ☕️😊

Just done a line of washing and painted another wall of my laundry room, well I was only doing a little bit but one thing led to another and while I had the paint open may as well. The wall that the boilerman had to disturb will need doing at some point so thought I may as well give the rest a quick cheer up.

Catazon pushed my time slot on later so no early callers frog, pleased with my purchases including a little storage box, I enjoyed showing that to Sleek we love a nice box as you know 😀 and it was much cheaper than its 'friends' in other colours for some reason 👍️. Noise-free here til midday then workmate boy had another turn, not for too long though. I was saying about keeping a noise log, well I suppose I sort of do already by putting it all in here for you long-suffering people 😬 so what I need is shorthand to spare you all the details, & just a mini grumble instead - something like ⚒️😣 or 🛠️🕓️😠 should do it 😂. Hope your day is going well love to all 😘 xx

Hello Joan, yes it's lovely just getting on with using the hot water etc and not thinking about the stopcock or whatever all the time 😬. I have been painting its 'home' in the utility room I hope it appreciates it 😂. Your rose is gorgeous! lovely to see how well it's doing 😊 lovely green leaves everything really healthy looking 👍️. The acer looks well too. I can see a tiny bit of Pepper in the pic 😀. Hope your day has been ok it is just warm & pleasant here not too hot 😘 have a good Sunday xx

Hi bosh, yes the noisy neighbours have been safely tidied away, one in his own garden (shame to waste his lovely new paving 😉) and the other in a handy broad-bean hole, thank you Mr Branson 🤭. Oh I am bad 😬 I'm sure I sound awful and like I begrudge people their little hopes & dreams of house renovations, they are welcome to them really I have just been pushed too far there is always one of them doing something and it is other people's summertime as well, suppose I wanted to have garden parties etc myself, no chance, even a window open is pushing your luck 🤷‍♀️. Sorry you didn't sleep that well I hope your evening is better and you make up for it tonight 🤞 I did get some til about 6 or 7 so at least I should look a little more like one of your better incarnations of me so to speak rather than the other sort 😱😂. Take care :) xx

Hi Jojo hope you are doing ok, glad it was cooler in the amusement place I love the machines sometimes it's a bit noisy with everything going off and playing different tunes or beeps and bells but it's all good fun very summery. I like the grab machines and the penny falls even though they are a hopeless waste 😂. I wasn't a bad shot on the rifle things back in the day either at piers etc 👍️. Hope you work out a way to keep doing the side of work you prefer and hopefully the drs will be a part of that 🤞 take care :) xx

Hope you are not too bad today Stuart and got some more sleep that was early for you even 😔. I will be just as glad to be back in bed to be honest I have done just a little bit of emulsion-ing my laundry room hardly a big job, more tiring than it should be 🙄 the heat adds to that I suppose. Have a better night I hope and a nice Sunday :) xx

'Bonus' wave to Keef 😁 hope you are alright today and taking it easy & bit & recovering - kettle on :) xx

Love to everyone 😘 xx

hi Toni

How are you tonight?

I hope Are you having a nice time with your friend?

I like that name Newbiggin haha

it’s a name, almost worthy of BR lol

Yes he’s a bright boy I agree, even though the language skills aren’t quite right yet haha

Yes not a good idea to neglect teeth - brushing true

yes that’s true we all have the arthritic pain in common at whatever level so we can all relate to each other in that way I agree
I did have a very lucky night though. Mum woke up and went to the bathroom, but I thought she was really ill and had a kind of panic attack, but thank goodness that night is over now of course

Mum is not too bad in general today but she did hurt her arm at one stage because of the way she slept. She said she’s okay now but I’m not quite sure if she’s fully okay
Her arm is a lot better at any rate

Not much interesting happened today but I did hear that BR is teasing his brother and his daddy a lot, which isn’t good at all,

He even tried to hurt his Mummy’s leg this morning which was very naughty indeed, but luckily he didn’t manage to do any damage

Sure where such naughtiness has come from. Maybe it’s a sugar rush- possibly he’s been eating sneaky extra brownies like he did during his stay in bosh - land

it was a nice cool day weatherwise here in Reading on the Riviera. How is the weather for you?

Okay I am somewhat nattered as the gossips might say haha

Have a good night Toni and take care xx

👋night to Joan Jojo SK and S knee xx

ps toady’s new look - oh dear lol xx

bosh

greetings toady / toadface

How are you?

I’m glad that you’ve got some painting and laundry - hanging done

You notice I said, laundry - hanging and not neighbour - hanging lol

It’s okay, I agree with you completely, neighbours should try to be a bit considerate like we are
sometimes, for instance, I feel like assembling a giant cucumber sandwich and placing it on the lawn of certain annoying people of the neighbour - species but I don’t do it even though I would very much like to see the look on their faces and perhaps commission RR to paint them for posterity

I do, however, like your good self, exercise self control and try not to make their life a misery
Oh well, such is the nature of things I guess

you’re right, I need a very good nights sleep tonight to make up for past misdemeanours
So to speak

have a good night toady take care xx

MMorning Everyone

quick post I am going for a walk on the prom. In a minute. Can't miss the chance to be gere. Toady understands I have said hello to the sea for her👍

Had a good journey up although Elfie did sing a fair bit and needed a few loo stops.

He had the following to eat too:

1xs mcplant

1xs double mcplant

2 portions chips

2 portions fruit bags

I large coke!

And sweets! The sweets!

The rental is fabulous 2 mins from the sea honestly!

Had a fabulous meal out vegan no problem including a lovely dessert.

Today we are going to a classic car show up here have a cuppa with my friend. A last walk on the beach with the dogs before the 4.5 hour drive back home to Sleek.

Take care everyone ❤️
