Val's Cafe

Turbogran

Good Evening all.
well the days have flown by since I last posted but I have been in to read through your posts and a lot seems to have been going on in the cafe what with pusskins dust gliding and flying around on broom sticks whatever next and Joan's boiler still giving problems and all the other things on here that I have read and cant remember. I just have not had time to sit and type out replies so I am not going to.

I did try to post yesterday but after getting about 3 quarters of the way through doing it the computer went off and yes you've guessed it I lost the post :x :roll: we have had pretty random weather here over the last few days one minute the suns shining the next its cloudy and windy and trying to rain you don't know what to put on.
had the usual dinner out with mr Turbo the on to meet my friend for coffee yesterday mind you she was in one of her know everything moods when everything you say she has to say the opposite and of course she always think she is right :roll: :roll: so I didn't particularly enjoy that outing. today wasn't much better as youngest daughter met me to have a coffee and she was in much the same mood :roll: :roll: then got home to find Mr T had used our steam floor cleaner and it had leaked on him so he was moaning about that. how am I keeping sane i do not know .

spent a long time on cooking dinner today as Mr T said he fancied a Lancashire hot pot which took longer. but I Have to say it was delicious and enjoyed by us both so it was worth it.

I think must love you and leave you now for a little while as I need
to have at little move around before I seize up all together and need the oil can to get me going again so off I fly

love to all

Evening to all, hope everyone is as ok can be.

Hi Christine - no wonder you were afraid of water, after being pushed into the deep end of the pool. (We will not count the Jamaica visit and the red stripe lager causing you to do the backstroke ).
I hope my bones are right and you do get a pay rise, a big lump sum would be even better :bee: It is always good to dream. A senior Harley Street Consultant said that to me, (he was a friend of my late Father). He said, you must have a dream, always. He was an inspirational man, God rest him.

Anyway, I am digressing. Sorry.

I don't get this man cave thing. Maybe it is just me (and OH), a workshop or hobby room, but not some cinema room with beer fridge and HUGE tv. Sheds are for pottering in, or planting things up, apart from the one near Toni, where there is a bar. That is more like a mini village hall
I hope Barbara doesn't get one and lock her OH in :shock:

I am sure your Daughter's doggie is very well cared for, it is true though, you cannot keep them all. That is why I cannot go to a cat rescue center, I would be howling and have to bring them all home. I will give them money, by all means, or buy them food, but a row of eyes, all pleading with you, no, I would be stateless.

It is a struggle for Toni, by the pool, fussing the hotel puskins and sipping a cocktail or two. I hope they are all ok and enjoying every minute.

Oh, who was a grumpy next door neighbour then, how rude. :x

Can his wife not be spoken to? Obviously I don't know her illness, but a rational conversation would surely cause no harm.
So Mr Grumps actually managed to do something with his plumbing (does that sound right :? ). Now the noise has stopped, hoorah. Let's hope the plumber can sort things out once and for all.

There is nothing worse than a noise that just gets into your head, it drives you batty.
You do right, sending off an email, just to cover yourself. I would take him off the Christmas card list too, lol.

At our last house, the walls were so thin, we could hear the lady stirring her tea in the kitchen !! :shock: :shock: Boy were we glad to move from there and into our lovely Park Home. Peace and quiet.

We have just watched Big House Little House too, the conversions both looked lovely, no expense spared. We had to laugh when the young couple said, " we went over by £10000 - we went shopping!! I must look out for the money tree. We like the programme, I like it, as the host is called Aidan too

Hi Carol, don't worry, things move on at a pace sometimes in here. You cannot always reply to things, but as long as we know you are ok.
Well, ok apart from not having much luck with meeting friend and daughter for coffee's, if they were both in similar moods, oh dear. Let's hope they are happier next week. Oh and Mr T had an "incident" with the steam cleaner. Ooops. I think the moon is affecting everyone, it is coming up to a full moon and if it can move oceans, it can change our moods. Well, that's my thinking on it, lol. It seems to send our cats more dippy than they already are :shock:

Oh, Lancashire Hotpot, wonderful, Mum used to make it a lot, coming from Merseyside it was a frequent dish at home. Glad that went down well and cheered Mr T too

I wish we could oil our joints Carol, some WD 40 to stop the creaks, cracks and crunches. Take care XX

We had an at home day, Mum n Dad popped in for the Saturday coffee and croissants. OH has sorted out next doors security systems networking. Neighbours who's home we were looking after while they were away, came back and brought us a beautiful Dartington Amber vase, just gorgeous. Managed to have a nap, with terrible dreams. Cannot win :shock: :roll:

Pepe has passed his three point turns, emergency stop, (he flew off the broomstick) :roll: :roll: Miss Sleek managed to catch him, whilst trying not to grin too widely.
He has to re take the parrallel parking, he was distracted by a pigeon. :roll:
All the babies are petted, fed, warm and cozy, sleeping now.

Another at home day for Sunday, maybe a potter in the garden, while OH waters everything.

Hi to everyone who is not about at the moment. I know Mig is still here, from her other post. Kerrin, Elizabeth, Toni, Charrisse, Kath and all. Leaving hugs.

Like Carol, I had better move and potter.

N Night. XX Aidan

Morning all lovely and sunny out there..yesterday was so cold.. :shock:
Christine you did make me laugh doing the backstroke after the lager... maybe I should try it...mind you they would have to have the helicopter ready.. the neighbours sounds to be so nasty..no need for it ...even if it is a bad day..I feel for you listening to a noise day in and out like that..but glad he has sorted it..long may it continue..OH goes back regular to people with the same ..usually the pressure is a bit high..don't think our loft would fit a bedroom and bathroom in..I hope your eyes are behaving...
Aiden I meant to say there was a double security light on the shopping channel..and it runs of batteries and last at least 6 months..mind you ..the neighbours might complain with the brightness.. so you could hear your neighbours stirring the tea.. this is why I love this forum we can have a moan and a laugh.. ..so Pepe passed his 3 point turn..and emergency stop.. bless ..he should have held on tightly but did well..I did see miss slimkins with her hand over her mouth..
How lovely of your neighbours to bring you such a lovely vase..it will glint in the sun..and lots of wight in them just in case Pepe has a practice fly...
Joan ,,now the dashcam I will post it at the bottom in a min..you will laugh..same with my bedroom to cold but I dont mind in summer it helps..
Carol I love Lancashire hotpot..my mum used to make a good one much better than mine..I think to find a friend we really do gel with is not always easy..if only common sense prevailed and she would realize what she was saying..poor you having it over again...but you came through with the hotpot wish I had know I could have brought the crusty bread round..
Right our dashcam...what I didnt realize is it records what you are saying.. :shock: :shock: so we came back and I put the sd card in the comp..and what a laugh we had.. I got it because of the near misses we have had lately ..the driving has gone so bad..suppose there are no police not to stop them..the quality of the film is amazing..and the recorder... :shock: :shock:
I think today will be Toni's last on holiday..hope they get home safe and sound and all relaxed..
Love to everyone xxxxxxx

frogmorton

Well we are packed now and chilling by the pool as we have a late flight. Won't be home until 3am.

I hope everyone is well. I am missing stroking and feeding the tapirs l expect Aidan was happy enough to take my share

As for Pepe's flying escapades Miss Sleek has video evidence on her cat-cam!!!!!! . For such a cautious cat she is impressed really at his confidence
See you all tomorrow - late :animal_busy:

On Tuesday, our local PO machine (for paying out money etc) wasn't working. So we thought we'd call in again before catching the LE bus yesterday (Saturday) still noy working, so we had to use the big PO in Long Eaton. Also went to Tesco to get 2 new mobiles. So spent the rest of the day setting them up and trying to get the hang of them Our last phones were Samsung, our new ones are Moto-G, so totally different. I love mine as it is huge with big text. The only thing I can't do is answer a call. :roll: So if anyone has a Moto-G 4 please could you expain in very simple terms how to do it. I can't find anything on the internet. Thank you in antcipation. OH has version 5, which is totally different to mine. :?

kath@confused.com

:shock: :?

afternoon all, just a quick visit, I notice Kath is in need of assistance with her new phone. Here is the link to the motorola site. Click on UK Other and it will give you a full user guide to read through


https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97086/p/30,6720,9050

I hope that helps Kath.

Toni and all, have a very safe journey home, you will be up later then me tonight :shock: Take care, Miss Sleek is waiting She went home early from her broomstick supervision with Pepe, said she had to preen and fuss.

So, you are on camera and with sound too, I bet you did have a laugh Barbara. They are used a lot now, as you say, people drive like total idiots, the times we see people using their phones or trying to TEXT while they are driving. I try and have my phone camera at the ready, so nab them.
The poor Police have so much on their plate, trying to keep us safe from those who wish us great harm.

hi Joan, hope you are ok, nice and warm today.

Been a bit manic with Spring cleaning in the cloaks cupboard. Goodness, we had some trammel.

Will be in later, in the meantime take lots of care everyone XXXX Aidan

barbara12

You enjoy your last day Toni..safe journey home..
Kath glad to see Aiden has given you a link to your phone they are all so different I have the Samsung..dont they make life hard for people ..hope they get the other machine working..they are closing our bank so we will have to travel.. :roll:
Aiden there are so many people jumping the lights now...think its because there are so many and they dont want to be stopped time and time again..nice when you get the cleaning out the way and can sit and relax knowing all is done and dusted..
We have been panting sweet peas from Morrisons..I do love the smell
Right off doe a cuppa and lemon drizzle cake..bought this one...
Love to all..xxxxx

Turbogran

Evening once again

just popped in for a cuppa and a little visit to the animals who all seem very happy and contented.

Aiden Well yes I suppose if you blame a full moon it makes it sound better and I wont be seeing my friend again until Friday, and as far as youngest daughter is concern I never know when I will see her next as we don't see her very often or hear from her often come to that. as for Mr T i'm used to him having a scene co something don't work now so don't take much notice there. and well what can I say about the pusskins I mean our Snowie was as daft as a brush sometimes, he used to make us laugh. only a few more months and hopefully we will be adding to the the dippy pusskins Well I shall definitely be making the hotpot again as it was so nice.
WD 40 to stop the creaks cracks and crunches sound wonderful if only it would work.

Joan coffee with friend was fine but she had one of her I know better than you do afternoons where whatever you say she says the opposite. :roll:

Barbara Funny thing is we have been friends for years but its only the last few years she has got like this think its her age.
I bet you did have a good laugh when hearing what went on while you had the dashcam running

Toni hope your safely home and you all enjoyed your holiday.

we had a nice surprise today on way home from church and eldest daughter rings me and tells me that she is in London and in our local high street with our youngest granddaughter and little Lillie did we want to meet her for a quick coffee on our way home before they went home back to Margate of course we both jumped at the chance to see them. especially little one.

think its now time for me to move the creaky bones for a bit :roll: :roll:


Good night to you all

applerose

Carol, it does sometimes take quite a bit of time to read through everything and answer so don't worry. We just like to know you are ok. It is so annoying when a post disappears for whatever reason. The weather is the same here. I set off wrapped up then have to take my coat and jumper off then a bit later put them back on again. Oh dear, no-one is in a reasonable mood. It does get you down, doesn't it? Glad you enjoyed your hot pot and that you got to see your daughter and granddaughters. How lovely.

Aiden, I think it is a good idea to have a dream. It lifts the spirits thinking it could one day come true. My next door neighbour on my Xmas list? They have never been on and never will. I don't want anything to do with their sort. Think they are better than the rest of us and think they can do as they please. They annoy quite a few people round here. Sounds as if your last house had thinner walls than mine. I think I might come and live in one of the Park homes near you. If I find anywhere selling money trees, I'll post the link here for you. I did read somewhere that the pull of the moon can affect our moods.

Joan, you have hot areas and cold areas. Do you think it would help spread the heat if you left all the doors open? Hope you and Sue aren't getting too hot or too cold.

Barbara, I can't help thinking my neighbour didn't have a clue what to do about the noise and didn't like to admit it. Seems funny he managed to stop the noise after I told him about the stop cock but didn't do it before. How funny finding you had recorded what you were saying. I can imagine it if you were trying to set it up. I think the dash cams are a good idea. As you say, some people's driving is terrible these days. My son has had a few near misses with cars cutting him up. Mind you, my daughter has had a few bumps - usually in to bollards while trying to get past parked cars or out of parking spaces.

Toni, hope you have had a great last day. All the pets have been well looked after and it sounds as if Miss Sleek and Pepe have been having fun.

Kath, I often hear of money machines not working. I've not had any problems myself but it must be so annoying when you need your money. Hope you get your phone sorted out.

I've been sorting out bits and pieces today. I cleaned out a paperwork drawer and found my card with my NHS number on it. Then I found a letter from the NHS telling me what my number is. Both numbers are different so I'll have to contact someone to find out why that is. Sorted out all my papers about my health and put them in folders in date order. Should have been doing it all along but I tend to shove things in a drawer to sort later. :oops: Made fish pie for tea and kept adding more and more ingredients so there was a bit too much. Never mind, it was all healthy. And I had bought an avocado. don't really like them but was determined to do something with it. I mashed it with a banana, some cocoa powder (you can use melted chocolate) and some maple syrup to make healthy chocolate mousse. It's probably better whizzed but I couldn't be bothered to set the whizzer up then wash it.

bubbles

Evening to all, finally a little time to sit a while and say hi.

It has been quite warm today, I was almost at the point of "glowing" in the afternoon.
It is pretty chilly now late on in the evening, but I had best not put the heating on or OH will melt :roll:

Hi Joan, so your bedroom is cold, that's not so good, I know you like to be warm as it eases those pains. One day, they will sort out the heating system, quite when that day will be, goodness knows.
Take care both and enjoy the fine weather, we seem to be having a very nice spell at the moment.

Hi again Barbara - we have some solar lights along the guttering, that is on the front of the park home, they light up the ramp. The neighbours have their security cameras all up and running now. We have thought about a solar sensor light, for the back, where we park the car. It is super dark at the back, no lights on that little road at all. :?

Yes, Pepe has done well so far, we will draw a veil over the fact of him flying off the broomstick Miss Sleek will be welcoming Toni Lucy and Paul home soon, she said she was excited and has had an extra long wash and brush up.

The vase is lovely, it does indeed, catch the light, we both like amber colours, so our neighbours made a perfect choice.

I would love to listen to the dashcam lol. The pictures are really clear - I didn't know they recorded audio as well though. They are very useful for insurance claims, as you say, people jump lights and do all sorts of crazy things, even more so in warm or hot weather. Has all the lemon drizzle cake gone Could just eat a little slice or three.

Toni, all the babies have had extra petting and stroking. They have enjoyed the sunshine today and are now dozing under their heat lamps, after their supper.

I have found a little friend who would like to join the petting zoo, he is pretty chilled out An adorable Red Panda. I am sure he would get on well with the others.

Hope you arrived home safely, if a little tired from the travelling. Take some time to catch up with yourself and take care.

Kath, I hope you managed to go on the link and find the phone manual. I must have set a trend of people buying new phones
Hope you are not hurting too much and enjoying the nice weather.

Hi Carol Yes I think we should blame the full moon on your friends mood, or, it could be an age thing, FIL is just the same, if you say the sky is blue, it would be the wrong sort of blue :roll: :roll:
Mr T, I am sure you are very used to the grumpy times and let them go in one ear and out of the other.
The hotpot will have eased his mood I am sure, they say the way to a man's heart.................
Our pets are so funny at times, I am sure you had many a laugh with Snowie. Not too long to wait until you have a little puskins, how lovely

What a fabulous surprise to meet up with your family and little Lillie, I bet you did jump at the chance. Serendipity is a wonderful thing

Hi Christine. Dreams are great things and can lead to life changes.
LOL, I am not surprised your neighbours are not on your list for cards at Christmas. Oh, they think they are better than everyone else, oh, we know the type, they would wind me up immediately. Have nothing to do with them, apart from telling them like it is regarding their plumbing. If they are so much better than everyone, they would not have noisy pipes, lol.

You have been having a sort out too, it must be that time of year. Fancy having two NHS numbers. I have no idea where my card is or what my number is, the Surgery do, so that's ok.
Your T sounds lovely, I would have to forego the banana, but everything else would be very tasty.

OH turfed out the cloaks cupboard, it was crammed full, everything came out to meet you, so it was more than ready. Some coats have gone to the clothes bank, the buggy is out and ready for sale. I cannot get my knees comfortable any more and it is hardly used, with every shop having their own. Just hoping that the batteries are ok and will charge up. If not, then it will be no use, new batteries cost a small fortune.

Washer is still going, as ever. It has done some sterling work over the past 8 years, it is a built in one and was in when we bought the park home.

Right, I had better move myself. Off out for coffee and scones this morning. GC is calling

Everyone take lots of care, love to all and to those who are not about at the moment.

XXXX Aidan

I suspect that someone has half-inched my Apple account. I now keep getting e-mails telling me someone has logged innto my accounton an iPhone called Digg or something. I'm so fed up with technology. :shock:

Thank you for all your suggestions.

frogmorton

Gosh Kath you have to contact Apple!!
Sorry to not get on till now but we had a rough journey home. Should have been home by 3am bit our plane was poorly do after several hours waiting we were diverted to Manchester then coaches took us to Brum airport!!
Got home about 7.30 am. I am shaking I'm that tired.
Going to bed in about 2 minutes!!

Aiden, what a lovely red panda. I'm sure he will be very happy with our other pets. You washer is lasting well. Don't think any of mine have ever lasted any longer than that.

Joan, that is sad your friend of fifty years not talking to you and Sue. Let's hope this is the last time you need to get the heating fixed. It's shocking it's still not right.

Barbara, I didn't think about that with my NHS number. Quite a few years ago, we lived across the road from my husband's brother and his wife. We were 11, they were 10 and she had the same name as me. Once I went to see my GP and she started asking me how this and that was. I said that wasn't me. Turns out it was my SIL's notes she was looking at. Wonder if I've got someone else's number. I remember you telling us about your dreams. I can imagine it disturbing your sleep a lot.

Kath, oh no. How awful having your account hacked. Hope you manage to get it back again.

Toni, welcome home. Hope you've had a great time. It's bad enough getting home at 3 in the morning but a nightmare being delayed and diverted. Don't worry about us. Just get some sleep and we'll see you later.

My feet have been extra sore this afternoon and all my energy drained at lunchtime. I spent most of the afternoon ironing and drinking tea. Aldi have gluten free foods on offer at the moment so I called in this morning to stock up. I only bought spaghetti. The only other things they had were 2 types of cake mix, 2 flavours of crisps, snowballs and a type of snack cake thing.

bubbles

Evening to one and all.

Hi Joan thank you for asking Mum n Dad are doing ok, Mum is not eating much at all. The District Nurse is coming out to see her today, just for a check up. OH will pop round when she is there and try and get a word in the nurses ear, about Mums poor diet. Apart from that, she is fighting on and is out and about every day, either with us, or with Dad. They always go somewhere, even if it is just to the supermarket.
Roll on Wednesday, so that you can get the boiler fixed. It is certainly an ongoing saga.

Hi Barbara - I remember you mentioned the accident, good job the person behind the silly driver had a dashcam to prove that they were driving so badly.
I remember my first car being totally written off, I crossed the lights on green on my way to work and another diver jumped the lights on red and smashed straight into me. The engine was hanging out of my car, it was a wonder I was not killed. There was someone watching me that day, for sure.

I can sympathise with bad dreams, I have so many horrid ones. I think the drugs cause a lot of unwanted brain activities.

He is a gorgeous red Panda, we will have to give him a name. We will have to get some bamboo, insects and fruit.
We cannot see our lights along the decking, but next door say they light it up very well. We never go out of the front door at night, always the kitchen door, for a ciggy. (naughty I know).

The dashcams have a very good wide angle lens on them, so that you get a really good picture of what is going on around and in front of you. I would be tempted to keep the audio on, the stories you read of people's road rage are terrible. So glad that we don't do heavy traffic any more, we are blessed around here. Skipton is the busiest place we venture to, even then we try and avoid market days.

Where did you end up going? to the GC or somewhere else for coffee and cakes

Oh dear Kath, let's hope no one has hacked your Apple account. I would certainly get on to them straight away. Apple products are usually very secure from internet hackers. Certainly change passwords etc, if you can.
Technology is wonderful, but it can be so frustrating at times, as we all know, it drives us nuts when things are not as they should be.
Let's hope that it can be sorted asap.

Hi Toni, that was the last thing you needed, a drawn out journey home, with a poorly plane, delays and then bus travel to Brum. After all that relaxing and sunshine. I can imagine you were totally exhausted and it will take you a day or two, to come round. Take lots of care. I am sure Diddicat will be pleased to see you, she was excited about you coming home, when she spoke to Pepe. There were no broomstick practices today, Miss Sleek had to prepare for the homecoming.

Hi Christine oh the red panda is so lovely, he will be just fine, he is pretty chilled out
Yes, the washer is doing well, we have it insured with Domestic and G, so anything that goes wrong, is covered and if they cannot fix it, they will replace it. Well worth having, it has had new motor, drive belt, pumps, valves, door locks..........they would all have cost a fortune. The Fridge freezer is also insured with them as well.

Oh dear, fancy the GP having the wrong notes when you went, you both must have been surprised to say the least.
OH has the same name as Dad, so there have been mix ups with prescription orders. We always double check now, that they have the right person.

Sending hugs and energies your way, it is horrid when all the energy drains away. There is nothing you can do about it, it is like living in treacle, I call it Fybro fog.
You did well to carry on with the ironing.

The Aldi visit sounded like a bit of a disappointment, for your gluten free products. I notice that the range is always increasing in the supermarket, a really good choice of things.

We went to the GC with Mum n Dad, coffee, scones, a little potter around the plants and shrubs, then to the Vets, for more food for his Lordship. Then supermarket, then home. Then sort out my buggy, which has now been sold.
The batteries would not charge, so, we decided to have two new ones fitted at the mobility shop. I rang the lady who is buying it and she agreed to go halves on the price of the new batteries, so that's fair enough. We are taking it to her on Wed, it is for her Husband who has a COPD and cannot walk far at all.
She is very pleased, as I have rarely used it and it is as good as new, but a lot less expensive than a new one. Bless her.

So, that was most of the day taken up, oh I had to pop next door, terrible back pains, she was lifting bags of gravel yesterday, OH said wait, I will come round, no, I can do it, her OH came and did them in the end and of course, today, she was in agony. I gave her some accu pressure and that helped. I didn't want to, but I did say I told you not to lift them, would you listen :roll: :roll:

Never a dull moment here. lol. Gas man coming today, to service our boiler, let's hope it gets a glowing report.

Right, I hope everyone else is as ok as can be, Elizabeth, Mig, Kerrin, Charrisse, Carol. I know Mig is in Belgium at the moment, hope she is enjoying her trip.

Time to move, I am on a cushion and Pepe is on my gel seat. :roll: :roll: Pampered, no, not at all.

N Night XXXX Aidan

Hello Barbara Kathleen Toni Christine Aidan and anyone else I missed.
Barbara thank you for explaining I have heard of them. You have a lovely time out.
Kathleen I'm sorry about the problems you are having with your phone. I hope you can find out what is going on.
Toni now you need a rest thank you for your posts. I'm pleased you all had a lovely time drinking by the pool that's what it's there for.
Christine I hope you have a good day. I hope your feet are less sore today.
Aidan. do you know it is doughnut week this week. have a lovely day. l hope your Mum in law fancy something nice today.

afternoon to all, oh it's very warm, not helped by the tumble drier and then ironing in front of it :roll: :roll:

So, it is donut week Joan, that sounds like a good week to me They are not my favourite but I will try my best to have one at some point, so as to not let the side down.
Hope you are having some fine weather, I know you like it to be warm. Ignore me, having my melting "moments".

The day seems to have gone in a flash. The British Gas man came, to service the boiler and that is all fine and dandy. Good, thank you, bye.............
Then next door popped in, then oh went round to Mums as the District nurse was there and we wanted to know what was what. Nothing really, just to keep a close eye on her blood sugars, we don't want her having ketoacidosis, that needs hospital asap.

I am going to put Citizen's Advice over the front door. :? Open all hours.

I have fussed and pottered and probably done more than I should, as my bones are telling me, loudly !!

I will check back later. Hope you are resting up Toni, getting over the journey back.

Pepe said he will talk to Miss Sleek later, when no one is awake. I think they are planning an outing, there was mention of taking tuna with them. Hhhhm, what are they up to :? He has been ironing board gliding, so he is happy boy.

Catch you later, love to all XXXX Aidan

Evening all

Just popped into see what's happening in here and give the animals a bit of a loving care. they all seem quite happy and contented with all the attention we give them.

Christine. yes when people are like that your right it dose get to you especially when they all start together you feel as if you are the one in the wrong not them. still the surprise meeting with the granddaughter and great granddaughter helped to lighten the mood after the other 2 days. ggd was so funny she gave me our invitation to the other ggd's christening telling me it was from Graycie (her little Sister) and it was very very important great Nanny. and then when Mr t arrived I told her to show it to him and so she did telling him the same.

Aiden. had so many of Mr T's grumpy moods about computers ect I am used to, this is as long as I'm not the one that gets yelled at when I try to help, or when I know I am right. I supposed the phrase the way to a mans heart....... Is because most of them love their food. yes serendipity a wonderful thing. especially when it comes as surprise. certainly looking forward to the puskins hopefully they have one available at the cats and dogs home where we got our Snowie. because we have both said we don't want a kitten we want an adult cat. the Red Panda is gorgeous can we have him in our little zoo please pretty please

Joan yes well they do say there I nothing more weird than folk tend to agree with that xx

well its nearly bedtime so need to get off of here and get ready for bed. love to all xx

Evening to everyone, hope all are as well as can be

No Barbara, you are not complaining, it was hot this afternoon, I was melting. Now it is chilly, a frost is forecast :roll:
I will share some jam doughnuts with you, or even some custard ones.
We are thankful to live in this neck of the woods, literally, lol. Only by buying a Park Home could we ever have imagined living in the Ribble Valley. Properties are SO expensive - location, location, as they say.
The road up to the park only carries on to a couple of farms, so there is no rushing of traffic. Just about everyone on the park has cars, but you could never say it was busy. Clitheroe and Skipton are busy, on market days especially.
I guess the town will get even busier with the building of more and more houses, another 1000 are planned, much to everyone's horror.

Oh, you have bamboo, that's perfect for our Red Panda, we need a name, should we get a list together.
The young bamboo saplings are are very good for your skin, a lady in France told us, it was her secret to young looking skin. Breaking open the small shoots and applying the sap. I don't know if it is the same for all bamboo, hers were enormous, like a forest.

Going to Mark's, having coffee, that is exciting, it is in my book anyway

Mum has taken on board what the District nurse has said and she has an appointment with the GP on Friday too. She is ok in herself, up and about, out and about, just need to broaden the diet a bit. Also need to keep an eye on any ketones.

I think some of the messages we get are really odd, when I log on to a wifi spot say in a cafe, when I get home an email will come through saying someone logged on to your account, their location was Luton, or Outer London. :shock: errr, no, it was me and I was 10 miles away, lol. So much for google and giving you pin point accuracy on your location

I must say I have never been a fan of Apple either. I could not find my way around a Mac computer, I would be lost. I guess it is what you get used to.

Yes, make an appointment please lol. We can sort out a payment scheme I am sure

Hi Carol, feel free to pet all the lovely animals, I think the Red Panda has made himself at home already, Barbara has lots of bamboo and we can soon catch some bugs and get the fruit.

I am glad the mood lightened when you met up with your Gd and GGD the other day, plus you have formal invitations to the Christening, how lovely.

Oh, OH can get in a fair old mood with computers, I just keep quiet and usually go and potter a while. No, it is not nice to be the brunt of a shouting match, not at all. Being happy is infectious, being grumpy is the same, transference I think it is called.

An adult cat will be lovely, you will know the one, they will choose you I am sure. Cannot wait. I would love to go, but I cannot, I seriously would come home with them all.
The mad cat man in the woods, lol.
You are quite right, their is none so strange as folk.

Hi Toni, I hope you are resting and recovering, I can tell you are still a little way off feeling ok. Miss Sleek came over and they did some dusk flying this evening, while we were all napping. I think Pepe is getting the hang of the broom now, but it is still speed restricted.

Kath, I hope your Ipad is ok and you have not been hacked. there are so many people who have nothing better to do than hack into other accounts. I had my account hacked when we were with Talktalk.

Hi to everyone else, to Kerrin, Elizabeth, Charrisse, Mig and all.

We are off to deliver my buggy to its new owners this morning, then we will go to have some lunch out, pop into the big Tesco, then home. Sunshine all the way I think for the coming two days. Our rivers are almost bone dry, it seems a long time since it rained. We do need some.

Everyone take lots of care XXXX Aidan
I rather liked this verse

frogmorton

Pepe has a black box ATM else his insurance would be Sky high!!

Did Miss Sleek tell you about the bird? alive which I had to rescue? and the dead rabbit downstairs in Lucy's basement which Paul had to dispose of?? Tut tut!!

She was quite right though I wasn't right yesterday at all. Couldn't remember words and still dizzy.

So far though today is ok.

Will pop back later to read through properly

Love

Toni xxx

A red panda? sooooo friendly!!

Morning everyone.

Just touching base! Been busy as usual. Just had my monthly blood test, the ole joints aren't that happy at the moment.

Busy at school as usual, had another cricket promo event on Monday, this time with half the England cricket team. On Friday we're going to watch a cricket match at the Oval.

Not much other news. Wedding plans coming along, school busy, swimming a still next gala next week and cross stitching when I get a spare moment. Oh and the fur monsters are their normal clingy selves.
