    Evening all

    It's been a gloriously hot day here today temperature of 25 centigrade this afternoon now at 7.45 it is still 24. blooming hot sitting here with the fan on. Had a good knitting group in the library this afternoon and teddy now has two legs and a body now needs head arms and her little dress done.

    Barbara yes we are fine we live not too far away from the fire but far enough to be safe. the reports are horrendous apparently it is known that 12 have died and many still in hospital. the block is now a blackened shell hundreds have lost everything. so sad. :(:( thank goodness your GD is ok. Hope Kerrin is safe too. yes when I see pictures on facebook of the girls it always makes me smile they have such gorgeous smiles and they have both got gorgeous eyes when they look at you. it wasn't too bad with the passports we did it online too we both had a problem woth a couple of things but when sorted it was only days until we got them about a week in all I think.

    Aiden yes blooming hot here too all day oh t I see the puskins have been naughty again and skyping and visiting when you are asleep and winding you up naughty puskins. and whatever next bushbabies on the loose at appiontments glad it was found in Kaths pocket even if it was nibbling the jammie dodgers.

    ok getting chair shaped so i'm off down to the zoo to check the goings on down there and making sure all we have no escapee bush babies naughty little things. :lol:

    love to you all.

    Christine Yes loved the baby cuddle he is a gorgeous little thing and was so happy to sit on my lap as long as he could see mum. he did get a bit grizzly after a little while cos he was hot and he had had his injections earlier in the day. teddy now has legs and body now needs head and arms. :lol:

    Joan The pain is fine now it dosent happen like it was on Sunday very often.

    Toni Glad you are ok and back home again and hopefully soon they will have sorted it all out for you. yes did see the message nice of him to thank everyone. I find Knitting and cross stitch very helpful when in pain.
    Stay positive always👍xx

    Aiden, just as well you knew what to do when the kittens arrived. Many years ago, my dog gave birth and nipped the umbilical cord too short. My husband managed to tie some thread round it and the puppy was ok. It is very sad letting puppies and kittens go to their new homes. Sorry to hear that mum is fragile. I hope something can be done to help her gain a bit more strength. There are things to see in Dubai airport and a train system to take people from terminal to terminal so some of my time will be taken up.

    Toni, I didn’t think about being stoned in Dubai. Think I’ll definitely stay inside. I think I must have missed some of your posts about your appointment. Cold, stingy banana spray. Yuk. Just read back and found Id somehow missed a few posts. Good to hear there are no polyps. Hopefully, nothing to worry about with the scan.

    Barbara, thank goodness your GD is nowhere near. It’s probably a good idea for your niece to get a second opinion. I hope they find out what’s wrong soon.

    Joan, 6 men. Did they actually do anything or just recommend the new thermostats?

    Carol, glad you’re not close to where the fire was. Still a shock though. Hope all bush babies were present and correct.

    I didn’t get in to town today. I spent all morning trying to sort out my visa and train tickets. It took me about half an hour to fill the form in and email it but only 25 minutes for them to grant it and send it to me. As for the train tickets, booking the train to go to Manchester was fine but the last train back home is 6.30 pm but I don’t land till 7.30 pm. I’ve had to book to go to another town and won’t get there till 11.30 pm. So it’s either a taxi or get my son to come for me but he normall goes to bed at 9.30 because he is up so early. Spent a couple of hours pottering in the garden then decided to go to the station to pick up my tickets. The ticket machine was broken so I couldn’t get them. Fortunately, I’ve got 2 weeks.

    I hope none of our members in London have been affected by the awful tragedy today. I’ve been weepy most of the day watching the news.

    Well, it has been a very warm and summery day today, marred by the terrible tragedy in the tower block in London. I was as horrified as everyone else, to see the whole place go up in flames so quickly. Utter devastation and loss.
    The images of the Twin Towers flashed into my head when I saw it.

    I am glad that everyone we know is safe.

    I am glad it helped, knowing we were all with you Toni, I was pushing out the vibes with extra vigour. So Paul was in Nottingham, my home town.
    I forgot to tell you it was banana tasting, the anaesthetic spray. No, I am not telling you anything about sinuses, I know nothing, at all.

    Pepe has been horrified that you have been to the vets, anyone with a medical certificate, is a vet in Pepe's eyes :roll: :roll: Miss Sleek did tell him all about it, in detail. :?

    Yes, there is a fair bit of whisker touching and an occasional lick of the heads. Pepe is a terror for licking, door frames, the dryer, OH's jewellery making "stuff". Crazy puskins.

    They are all flaked out at the moment, since someone put the heating on full. Talk about all or nothing.

    Mum felt a bit better today, so they came out with us for coffee and scones, she is going to talk to the nurse on Friday and discuss various problems that she is having. She says she just feels full all the time and doesn't really fancy much. Which, given the diagnosis, does not sound unfamiliar to me.

    Tosca was fine after her kittens, she loved them for about 5 weeks, then she had had enough and wanted nothing to do with them at all, in fact she loathed them. Cookie the siamese, took over as surrogate mother and I hand reared all of them. Mother would try and eat all their food when they were weaning. I was kept very busy.

    I am not looking forward to the rather wilting night ahead either and I am sure Barbara will be just as lathered.

    Hi Joan, I was going to ask about your boot, is it about 2 weeks or so, before it comes off?
    I hope they can now sort out your heating, just in time for the hot weather.
    Hi to Sue and to the doggies, do they like it warm, or are they all hot and bothered.

    Hi Barbara, I thought you might be a tad warm. Least said, soon as mended. AC out tomorrow.

    I am glad you GD is safe, all these terrible events recently, it is so upsetting and unsettling.

    We will be with you for your ENT appointment, have no fear. Bush babies and any other lovelies, (apart from warthogs). :shock:
    The spray is quite a shock, ice cold and pretty yucky.

    I must be getting mixed up with hair, I know Kath likes hers short. I would happily have mine all shaved off completely, I cannot bear it more than half an inch long.
    Yes, you can come with me to Wimbledon, I just have to get Miss Sleek to chance upon them :wink:

    B is very busy again with more making, chocolate agate necklace and a bracelet for me :) with agate and chain mail. He is so patient with it.

    I am sure your Niece is worried, she does right to get a second opinion, to make sure that the treatment and any plans, are all singing from the same page so to speak. (((())))

    I am sure you will be moving, I can feel it in the crystals. Watch this space eh. Exciting.

    I was going to write this afternoon, but ended up callin (lancashire term) with the neighbour, she likes a good natter and always pinches a ciggy too, lol.

    Hi Carol Glad you are ok and safe. It is simply horrific, I loathe fire......I hope Kerrin and family are ok too.

    You have had it a little hotter than us, not that I am complaining, in any way, shape or form. For those who don't mind the warm, it has been lovely.

    Teddy is coming along nicely, growing by the day :) Glad you enjoyed the knitting group.

    Pepe and Miss Sleek seem to be up to mischief a lot these days. I think it is a bit of showing off to each other as well. Pepe has increased his carpet gliding sessions and rolling over and over, like, look at me, aren't I clever :roll: :lol::lol::lol:

    Hi Christine it was a bit of a drama, mid July, boiling hot, when the kittens arrived. I won't forget it in a hurry that's for sure.

    Your Husband did well with the umbilical cord, I had no time to tie them, I just had to pinch the tiny bit that was there. Fortunately there was no bleeding to speak of.

    It sounds like there is plenty to do in the airport at Dubai - It will be too hot to go out anyway

    Right, mini potter - duly done, it is a wee bit cooler out, if there were not so many buglies I would sit out a while.

    Glad the Visa was sorted in a relatively short time, train tickets a little less so. I am sure your Son will come to pick you up, smile sweetly :) Only two weeks, goodness, that is going to race by..........

    I am with you on the feeling of sadness about the tragedy in London. Terrible.

    I will move and have another potter.

    To all those who have lost their worlds today,
    take very everyone, XX Aidan

    Morning everyone.

    Yes, the fire in London was terrible. I'm fine, thanks for asking, I don't live in London just work there. At least two people at school have been indirectly affected though, one has in laws who live in a neighbouring tower block who are safe thank goodness. Another has a friends nephew who cannot find his father. Very sad and coupled with the fires in SA last week, two very different fires but both very tragic.

    I had a pretty rough day yesterday. My hayfever is so bad at the moment t and has to take the boys to football at the park. I can't take anti hestimine as they turn me into a total zombie, so have been suffering. Settled down a bit now but my eyes hurt.

    Nice to have some fellow tennis fans on here. fiancé calls me a
    Tennis fanatic, been part of my life for so long. Now all I can
    Do is watch and have turned into a swimming nut. Enjoyed my session last night, gave me an hour of hayfever relief and as no one else from the oldies turned up had a 1-1 session with the coach.

    Well done to all the knitting. Hope to get my cross stitch out on Saturday. Can't do too much though or fingers will hurt.

    Hi to everyone else. I need to go and try get some sleep. Covering in reception class in the morning so need all the energy I can muster.

    Good morning everyone :)

    Shed night last night so apologies I didn't get back in :oops: .

    Kerrin I am so glad you are not directly affected by the fire, but so sad for those who are. I am glad you don't live in town.

    Your hayfever sounds dreadful :shock: So unfair 'they' can't help you. I will warm you a seat up at Wimbledon shall I? :wink:

    I hope you feel somewhat recharged this morning.

    Aidan....it was banana tasting, but by the heck my eyes ran :shock: So you know something about sinuses? Did I tell you consultant was very knowledgeable and explained so much (no procedures though) even said it is worth going dairy free for a weel-10 days as some are helped by that.

    Miss Sleek is inclined to dramatise events so no doubt Pepe thinks my nose was on fire and they wrapped me up in a towel first :lol: Ah head licking :) How sweet they are :D

    Extra special carpet gliding has been happening here too I think they are just so happy. :animal_busy:

    Ah so Mum feels full. They can give you a tablet to stimulate your appetite....if she is loosing weight? also it's got to be extra nutritious foods, (lard cream butter :wink: ), when she does eat bless her. Scones are ideal :)

    Tosca didn't liked motherhood much then? Bless Cookie for helping you help all of them. If you still have photos I think we might just need to see them...please!!

    Christine it sounds as though there's enough to do at the airport, but I suspect you will be tired? No stay inside I don't want you stoned although I do think you have to do more than touch whiskers even there to get stoned.

    Thanks the banana spray proper stings, but no worse than having kids well much less actually I could do it again. I hope they can fix my sinuses they haven't much helped our Barbara though so :?

    Well done getting all that sorted , but don't forget the train tickets. I think your son will manage one late night to help his beloved Mum out, after all you had more than a few more when he was little I have no doubt :wink:

    Morning Carol blimey you are doing well with that Ted :) Knitting group was fun that's good and a great distraction from pain. c020.gif

    We need fans air conditioners whatever we can do too keep cool when it's this hot :sun: .

    Fingers crossed I will be sorted thank you :)

    I am so very glad the fire hasn't affected you or anyone you love.

    Barbara a big phew that your GD is safe from the fire too. It's easy for us to worry about what happens in London, but we forget it's HUGE don't we?

    Can't they 'fix' your sinuses for good? Are your tubes too narrow? I will definitely be with you to supervise for your next apt ((()))

    Court 2 is fine by me just being at Wimbledon is amazing :)

    I hope your niece can get her second opinion about Star. I would do the same. Do let us know.

    I will wave to Joan I know she'll be here soon e010.gif

    Love to everyone

    Afternoon to all, nice, sunshine and clouds and a very welcome breeze, much better than yesterday / last night.

    Hi Kerrin, that's good to know you are ok. It is a terrible tragedy and affects so many lives. Looking for those who are lost, just awful

    Your hayfever sounds very bad at the moment. I used to get it quite bad and went to a homeopathic Dr, who prescribed pulsatila, which you can get from most health stores. It really helped me no end and I no longer suffer with it.
    It makes your eyes so itchy. There are some antihistamines that are none drowsy.

    Oh yes, tennis fans indeed, Toni, Barbara, my good self. We are called tennis nutters. :roll: Watching the Aegon from Nottingham at the moment. Johanna Konta won her match today.

    So you had a private coaching session in the pool, very nice too.

    Hope you are not too jaded from work today. Stay safe

    Hi Toni, so you were all in the shed, I see. I forget about the shed parties.
    No more talk of Wimbledon, thank you, lol :lol::lol:

    I am sure the Consultant was very much on the ball, or on the nose, as the case may be. No, he would not mention any procedures and no, I don't know of any at all :? :?

    It might well be worth giving it a try to go dairy free, you can always use almond milk or lactose free milk. There is such a wide choice in the supermarkets these days.

    I think Miss Sleeks interpretation was a wee bit ott. Pepe wants to bite the Consultant / Vet, immediately.
    I think they are both happy, there was a little brooming early morning I think, while it was cool and calm, it is very breezy now.

    Pepe has his theory test tomorrow, while we are out, so he will be revising overnight, with Miss Sleeks help on Skype.

    Mum was certainly brighter yesterday, she takes maxolon, which works in two ways, not just for nausea / sickness. I think it is all part and parcel myself. She said she will try and eat a little more, high calorie foods.

    here is tosca with all her babies, when she loved them, bless :roll:

    Kittens_zpsuiyrsrez.jpg

    Hang on it is pill time....................

    Right, that's better, I think :roll:
    Hi Joan. We are not so bad thanks, pain seems to be ever present, but we all carry on as best we can, sometimes overdoing things, sometimes so tired we cannot do much at all.
    Hope it is not too long till you know what the gang have decided to do with your heating. Have you still got hot water? I hope so.
    We will be with you when you go for your foot appointment.

    Hi Barbara - so you are off looking at AC units. Ours is coming out tomorrow, ready for the week end, when it starts to heat up again. Not having another night like last night. It was wilting.

    Fire is such a terrible thing. Mum n Dads house caught fire when I was a baby, they threw me out of the french doors of the Vicarage, into the garden. We had a lot of photo's that had burn marks round the edges. I cannot remember how or why, I was teeny weeny. The dining set had charred bits on them too, we had them until Dad retired.

    Fancy getting up to 6 kittens, wow, it is so hard to part with them. Yes Pepe and Miss Sleek are very much in courting mode, lots of preening and performing. But they know where they stand and no more winding us all up or it will be banned broomsticks.

    Here is a pic of OH seed beads, surrounding a ruby kryosite. I think it is amazing, I could not, in a million years, mange to even see the beads....................He has two commissions to do next week, lady across the way is coming over to sort out what she wants for two bracelets...yippee, way to go.

    20170615_145227_zpsyuukjyv6.jpg

    I hope Star is ok, I imagine your Niece is in bits at the moment. With the funeral of her Step Father and now the poor doggy, oh dear, sending hugs to both ((()))

    We have had an at home day, OH has cut the verge out front and watered everything. I have sorted some washing and drying and the cats have a sparkling clean litter tray again. Boy do they get through some.

    Off to Skipton tomorrow, to meet up with my Aunt and Uncle. This is the third attempt now, last two times, we have had to cancel for one reason or another, so high time we got together for a natter and lots of coffee.
    We have not been for what seems like months. It is only 25 mins away, but since Mum n Dad passed away, it doesn't have the same draw any longer.
    It will be busy, market and lots of people on a Friday............just need to find our fav parking spot, as near to Nero's as possible :)

    Catch you later everyone, love to all, here and away at the moment. Take care. XX Aidan

    Afternoon all

    Popped in early today as out this evening at our fortnightly café church meal, great means I don't have to cook tonight. and tomorrow is lunchtime meal out with mr T as usual so don't have to cook then either. which is great in weather like we have at the moment. have ben down to the zoo all Bushbabies are present no escapees blush was munching away through the fruit store had to chase away or there would have been none left. sloths just wanted cuddles,

    Christine Yes all bushbabies were present an correct . And yes the fire was really bad.

    Aidan your right there about the fire being horrific. Think I saw a couple of broomstick flying Puskins above the zoo when I went down there so think the mischief is getting worse. and of course pepe is clever and crafty me thinks :lol: Teddy nearly has a head she will have a complete one by tomorrow evening I think. hope you are not melting too much in this weather.

    Kerrin glad to hear you are not affected by the fire so sorry to hear about the people you know who are and hope they find lost relatives.

    Toni you right air fans and air conditioners in the heat was very hot in bed last night even with the cover halfway down the bed covering lower half of body only.

    Joan I do have pain all the time rally but most days I can get it down to where it is manageable and I can cope with it but I then get the odd day when it is really bad all day no matter what I do or take thankfully that is not all the time perhaps once every couple of days

    well I must off and get myself changed and ready to go out. hope you all have a good evening.
    Stay positive always👍xx

    Evening to one and all, warm, but not as wilting as last night. Has been nice to have the windows open wide today, with the breeze rushing through.

    Hi Carol Meal out tonight, then of course it is Friday and lunch, then coffee nattering and more knitting, teddy will be done in a flash.

    Nice to have a break from cooking, (no cooking here in the hot weather) I think you are having a lot warmer weather than us.

    I am not surprised Miss Sleek and Pepe are loitering near the zoo, they have been told not to go within a mile of it. Dr Doolittle will have stern words with them.
    Blush does love her fruit. So do the bush babies and the Lemurs. We need crates of it every day.

    Look forward to seeing Teddy when finished, I am sure you will pop a pic onto F Book :)

    Hope you enjoyed your evening with the Church group and have a lovely day today (Friday).

    Hi Barbara oh dear, how sad to hear that Star is having to be put to sleep bless her. Your Niece and the vets have done everything they can to make her comfortable. I know that is little comfort, but none of us would want to see our lovely family pet members suffering. Sending abundant hugs to you all. (((()))) :cry:

    I have passed on your kind comments to B, he is busy away seed beading around some more gemstones.

    Oh the kittens were SO cute, they really where, having hand reared them, they were all so special. I have other pictures, but I cannot find them on the PC at the moment. I will keep looking. They might be on a CD.

    I had forgotten we had a fire in France too, someone set fire to our cellar door, the cave was beneath the lounge, with the washer, dryer etc. I remember we were sitting in the lounge and we saw spirals of smoke coming through the floor............it was frightening, we had 6 Pompiers and the Gendarmerie, who said it was arson. The smoke it just horrid.

    I am so glad we were not out and were able to get it controlled. The insurance paid for everything to be sorted and made good.

    They caught the youngsters, when they were setting fire to the Mayors door !! Scary.

    You were lucky when the fire embers caught light, despite the fire guard. Everyone helping out too, there are more kind people than bad, which is something we all hold dear.

    Yes, Mig is about, but I have not seen Elizabeth, I do hope she is ok and the family.

    We will enjoy Skipton, we have to pop in to a couple of shops and stock up on bits and bats that we cannot get here in Clitheroe. It will make a nice change and good to see Aunt and Uncle.

    Hi Joan, Tosca is a Ragdoll, they are a cross between a Burmese and a Siamese, they have the same colours, like seal point, chocolate point.
    Cookie, is our Siamese, she is a seal point.

    Look forward to seeing a picture of the lovely doggies on the scooters :)
    Take care both and hugs to the woofs.

    Well I had better move, again. It takes me for ever, with pottering breaks every few minutes :roll: :roll: Never mind eh.

    Everyone take lots of care. Love to all. XX Aidan Good%2BNight%2Bwishes%2B1.png

    Morning

    Thank goodness it's Friday. Have early years sports day this morning which has been hard work as the staff and very demanding! Should go ahead with no problems and it's only 2 hours. Then some admin and let the weekend begin.

    All these broomstick flying puskins. Think my two will be joining soon.

    AC units- enjoy. I make do with the ceiling fan my ex tenant put in. Growing up in a hot country am used to much higher temps than this.

    Hayfever a bit better yesterday but avoided the outside. Using beconase which seems to be helpful. The other antihistamines also make me drowsy. My medicated eye drops which I've been using forever help with the eyes.

    Ooh time to go. Don't see me sitting down much until lunch time.

    Hi Kerrin I am very glad to hear that the beconase has helped a little with the hay fever. I am sure sports day will be fun and the parents and kids will love it. the small primary here had theirs on Tuesday they were so exited :)

    Your pusskins quite possibly already have broomsticks...have a sneaky peek :wink:

    Good Morning Aidan I hope you had a good night too friend :) Cute man in the moon there!

    Last night was cooler - a good thing as I had choir and Paul is not so good at monitoring windows and that sort of thing.

    I have got some vegan cheese and some vegan mozzarella which are lactose free I plan to try them as well as Almond, rice milk to see what I can cope with in my coffee...he said a week-10 days. Imagine that long sans chocolate :shock: oreos are vegan so maybe?

    I am glad to hear you know 'nothing' about sinus procedures. I might need to know in future though whether I need Paul to drive me....

    Of course Miss Slimkins was OTT with her description of my ENT apt that is Diddicat through and through :roll: Thanks Pepe for being ready to attack :)

    I have been assured that no more winding up will be happening. Guilty looking faces...mmm! We'll say no more draw a line under it. You have a heart condition.

    Yes theory is later today. My laptop was hot this morning and the keyboard somewhat fluffy, so much revision has been happening. Along with an early morning flight. She said too much revision is not helpful.

    Ah Tosca!! Snow white kittens how on EARTH did you tell the difference?! they are adorable :) I want them all too :oops:

    Mum seed DN today? am I right? As you said maybe she never had the best appetite.

    That pendent is a absolutely gorgeous I love those tiny beads!! I'm not surprised he has commissions now :)

    Enjoy Skipton and seeing your Aunt/Uncle.

    Joan please do put the doggie photos up if you can :)

    Barbara such sad news I am glad you were able to go and see your niece bless her I bet she needed a hug from her fav Aunty.

    You can look for A/C units today.

    I too am worried about Elizabeth :?

    Carol sounds as though the meal was nice and for me anything for a day off cooking ;)

    Enjoy your lunch date today. I am seeing my husband too but only to rescue him from dropping his midget off for it's MOT.

    Last night was way better than the night before wasn't it?

    We are collecting my wisteria!! Shall I take a photo. I may sit in the back of the van protecting it.

    Love

    :x :? :cry: I'm having the sulks. First of all I've just read that there's to be NO WEDDING! So I've fallen out with the pusskins. :shock: And the mammogram hurt :o so I'm off to sit with my feet in the tapir's pool.

    So, Paul was near me the other day. How near? I'm in Derbyshire actually but only just. If you can tell me where he was, I might know the place. :)

    Well sports day was as challenging as I thought it would be. Let's just say early years staff are not good at following instructions. Glad it's over!

    Off home now to see if the pusskins have brooms stored in the shed, although Tommy is too lazy to even use a broom.

    Yes I'm used to the heat, but houses here are not geared for it. Hayfever ok today.

    Kathleen enjoy the soak in the tapir's pool.

    Like the wisteria.cool name too.

    Evening all
    I hope you have had a Lovely day is been sunshine all day again today and quite hot here. Have had my usual dinner out with Mr T and then onto meet my friend not a lot of knitting done as my hands were getting very hot and sticky so had to stop. Its open morning at the church tomorrow now I wonder how many people will come in. at least the church will be cool if weather is hot may even set up cards in the entrance of the church tomorrow if weather ok as it is supposed to be.

    Barbara I did indeed enjoy not cooking for the last couple of days and also enjoyed the meals out both the church one and today with Mr T. have to cook tomorrow evening though but I don't mind. as already decided that on Sunday we are having cold gammon and salad for dinner when we get home on Sunday as our weather forecast is that it will be up to 28 centigrade.

    Joan my pain is only if standing too long without support of walking stick or the walker when outdoors mine is 4 wheeled and has a seat if I need it but I rarely sit on it.

    Aidan and yes meals out which I enjoyed and in hot weather meals here are usual something I can put in oven or hob and leave until ready as our kitchen gets very hot. when cooking. not much knitting done today as it was too hot and my hands kept getting very hot and sticky. so it was mainly coffee and natter. yes very stern words needed for those pusskins they are getting very naughty indeed. yes blush lemurs and bushbabies all love the fruit so stocks of if disappear very quickly. of course I will put pic on F book of teddy when she is finished and dressed.


    Toni Yes hope you sat with he wisteria after all we don't want it damaged before it gets home do we. yes we were not so hot last night think tonight might be different though. oh my just seen picture of that beautiful Wisteria she is indeed fabulous.

    must now potter as my back is telling me its time to move .

    sleep well if you can
    night night all.
    Stay positive always👍xx
