Evening all
Just popped in to say hello and to see what has been happening in here will post more tomorrow very hot here today earlier we reached 31 degrees as I type this it is still 24 and the time is 22.47

love to you all

bubbles

Evening to all, it is going to be one very warm night.................

Definitely all three ice creams Toni, in this weather, it is compulsory to eat them. Magnum's seem to go down very well

I think Miss Sleek and Pepe were whispering about test dates on Skype, they know, both of them, so we will see if Misstress Diddicat can hold her nerve and not let the cat out of the bag - if you pardon the pun.

It is definitely cooler way up in the sky, it makes you wonder when you think that the cruising height of airliners, the temp is minus 55 and down here, we are wilting. Not that I want to be at 38000 feet :shock: :shock:

Good, no looking up about any procedures or implements, no fainting online.

I am sure the Dr will have a good chat to Mum and help her as much as he can.

Did you get a storm? Hope no more power cuts. Our AC has been on 12 hours now and I have no intention of turning it off until at the earliest 1am.

That was lovely to find Rev Delphine's doggy a cool pad, with a hug too. I bet she was made up and her doggy will appreciate it I am sure. In fact, can we all have one

Poor Bro being his by an uninsured driver, sadly it more common than we think. Scary.

It looks as though Barbara has an AC unit, so she will be in bed all week now, keeping nice and cool Pepe is sat on top of ours, on top of the gel cushion............ :roll: :roll:

See, as I thought, you are already in bed, trying out the AC. I hope it does the trick, I am sure you will love it to bits. Some of them have a sleep mode, which makes them run a lot quieter. All of them do make some noise, the process of chilling air is not a silent one. But, it is well worth it.

Glad you have been sorting out the insurance and sending pictures etc.
I am afraid the Police have their hands full to the brim with paperwork, it must be a nightmare. As you say, he should be done for dangerous driving, cars don't flip over for no reason. At least he wasn't drunk, which is a great relief and so lucky for the people walking nearby.

So, you were making the shopping last, in Sainsbury's at the same time as us, lol. I don't blame you. I wanted to go get the cats and move in for 24 hours at least. I would have helped with the ice creams, stocking the freezers, one for me, one for the freezer..........one for me...........

I dread to think what their electricity bills are. :shock:

Looking forward to hearing how you slept, did you have to go find a thick duvet :?

Hi Joan, yes, you are quite right, cold water over pulse points is very good at cooling you down a bit. It takes a few minutes, by which time you cannot feel your hands. :shock:

Hi Carol, we hit 31 too and we are a long way north...........we don't often get to that extreme. I know it was hot at Queens and Birmingham for the tennis tournaments.

It is nearly 12 30 am and the temp in the room says 23, as does the AC. It is flat calm outside and so humid, it is like Florida.

I had best be moving. Love to all, Kerrin, Christine, Elizabeth, Charrisse, Mig, DD, everyone

Stay safe, it seems to be one bad thing after another, London, Paris..again.......just terrible times. It is a great concern.

N Night all, love XXX Aidan

Hello Carol Aidan Toni and anyone else I missed.
Carol I hope you have a good day.

do your **** like the heat.
Toni how is Lucy's shoulder and hip doing.
take care all

Kitty

We went the Sawley trail, to the Co-op and PO, using my new Rollator. I was in so much pain, I didn't really enjoy it. Fed up with the heat. :?

bubbles

Afternoon all

I thought you might like AC barbara and knew you would want to stay in bed, especially as the mattress is very comfy and you are now nice and cool. Aren't they a blessing in this weather.

Ours has not gone one yet, there is a breeze of sorts and it is not as hot today..........Thank goodness. I guess it will be on by mid afternoon though.

The cloak is all ready and waiting for us to gather and assist Toni in her appointment for the sinus scan, CT or MRI, I think it was CT :?

There will be hands a plenty, to hold as needed. xx Pepe and Miss Sleek said they are coming along too. Miss diddicat was over this morning in the wee small hours.

Watching the tennis from Queens and they said it is 35 degrees. OH my.
We have a weather warning for tomorrow and Thursday, storms and risks of power cuts due to lightning strikes. :shock:

B wanted a hair cut :shock: :shock: :? :? well, after last times, "oooops" with the clippers, I was a little nervous to say the least. Anyway, I did a very good job, was VERY careful and I have been promoted to supervised sweeping now I had mine cut too, so that was a pleasant surprise.

You GD is doing her fair share of steps and then some. Goodness, I am hopeless on three, let alone a 1000..........

I bet Joan will have popped in, now I am about to post. I will put some nice cooling refreshments out, to take with us later, under the cloak.

Everyone take lots of care and keep cool and drink loads. Catch you later XX Aidan :sun: :sun:

bubbles

I was right, Joan was along, just as I left. Kath too.

We will find out later what the Dr has said to Mum, will ring her later. We saw them drive past on their way back from her appointment.
Hope you are all ok and the doggies too. The puskins are all flaked out at the moment.

Sorry you have a lot of pain Kath, you have my sympathies, the hot weather just knocks me out and everything hurts grrrrrrrrrr. I think it is all going to cool off by Friday, hoorah. Sending hugs and the bush babies will be along with us under the cloak later, so you can have lots of cuddles with them. ((()))

Have relented and put the AC on. Enough of the heat already.

right, let me find something nice and refreshing. Some lavender lemonade all round

Everyone start gathering, ready for Toni's appointment.

frogmorton

Hi everyone

Sorry to be late in. It’s been a busy day for me. The CT isn’t until Thursday did I accidentally put Tuesday? :oops: :oops: :oops:

Sorry if I did the cloak has been out for nothing you must have all wondered where I was!!!

Kath you sound to be suffering again I am sorry. I hope you get some relief soon – if not the window seat is available and you can interrogate Diddicat about Pepe’s broomstick test.

Joan Lucy is doing really well thank you for asking.

I got that close to getting it out of Miss Sleek today Aidan….she was having a wash and she nearly did let the cat out of the bag She got to “July the….oh I can’t remember sorry”

Hmmmmmm…..

That lemonade has been very welcome thanks 

Back to supervised sweeping again? Well that is good news promotion at last after your previous disgrace!!

I hope the Dr had a good chat to Mum ((()))

I am so glad Barbara that you are cool. Our bedroom is currently on 19!!! Best this week – roll on bedtime eh? 

Love to everyone

Evening all a very hot day again however there seems to be a bit more breeze tonight. although still a bit on the warm side at 21 at the moment. All our furry and otherwise friend are all happily doing there own thing. of course bush babies demanded there cuddles the cheeky things .

Barbara 2 accidents with your car not good at all sounds like you really do need speed cameras.
temperatures here today have been up to 30 today. your GD must be hot after all those stairs. I was with having a little cuddle of the bush babies and making sure they behaved under the cloak. Hope all goes well with your insurers.

Aidan my joints like the warmer weather they don't like the cold and damp sorry that you have it the other way. yes seed beads are a real nightmare. GGD is very good with anything like that not really fazed by anything . shes the one that will hold large spiders large furry ones at that, snakes ,birds and manner of other things not scared by any of them. She would love our zoo she has even ridden on ponys . there are quite a few places near where they live to visit where she can do these things . I had great fun with the bush babies and sloths stocked up on fruit and watered warthogs ha ha . Yum Lavender lemonade lovely. Those pusskins had better behave under the cloak.

Joan nice day but just too hot hot hot 31 at 4.50pm. and I do agree its the mind says yes the body says no.

Toni Teddy is for n one in particular I just fancied doing something different. Yes GGD was a very good girl at the dentist , but not many things faze her at all.
and those warthogs really love their mud.

must away now to bed as quite tired tonight as didn't sleep to well last night due to the heat
Good night all
hope you all get a good nights sleep

bubbles

Ooops, maybe it was my fault Toni, still, at least we know where we are going on Thursday :roll: I wondered why there was no Miss Sleek and Pepe was keeping shtum about everything. We had a good float around and went for a coffee, then home.

Not to worry, we will be with Barbara tomorrow and then with you on Thursday. I will eat all the scones and get some fresh ones ordered for the morning

It is a while since the window seat was occupied, as long as I don't sit on Kath, I might pop along and have a quiet moment.

I did hear Pepe and Miss Sleek on Skype, he mentioned the examiner, Mr Potter - it wouldn't be THE Mr Potter as in H Potter - after all he is very experienced with broomsticks. No dates were forthcoming, but there are only three left.
Maybe Miss Slimcea will let the news leak out. I found this under Pepe's pillows

Could it be tomorrow I wonder, the longest day...............We have to nip out in the morning and also out on Thursday morning, so, watch this space eh.

Glad to hear Lucy is doing well

Is that watering system up and running yet Mr P.

I imagine Bot is keeping busy, best keep an eye out if there are storms lurking tomorrow / today....... :? We have weather warnings in place for bad storms and high temperatures again. After that it cools down to bearable temperatures.

Mum got on ok at the Drs, sorted out some more pills to help. It is all part and parcel of her diagnosis, bless. She sounded ok and we will catch up with them on Thursday.

Yes, I am back to supervised sweeping :roll: :roll: I did a good job as well, but, it will take a long time to become salon Junior again.

We have just turned the AC off and brought the window screen in. It is about 22, so I can just about cope with that.

Hi Carol There has been more of a breeze, quite pleasant out, although I did see that London was having some super hot weather at the moment. 25 at night, oh boy.........that's like being in Miami. I know it was 40 degrees on court at Queens, poor Andy is out, Stan the Man is out........:(

I see you are keeping a good eye on our lovelies in the zoo, Johnny has been on overnight, loving the lemurs, they always were climbing all over him.

We are total opposites with our joints, it is odd how different temps affect different people, give me cold and damp any day, happy boy (boy, who am I kidding)
Seed beads, well I could never even contemplate picking one onto a needle, they would all end up everywhere. It is good that your GGD is not phased by natures creepy crawlies. Show me a spider and I am off, show me a HAIRY spider and I am emigrating.

The warthogs have enjoyed their mud pools today, they are in such a state, I might nip in and hose them down a bit - they will only go and roll in the mud again :roll:
The Giraffes had a nice wash down, the Tapirs are happy half in half out of their pool, they are good swimmers.

I hope you manage to get some rest tonight, think of cool things, lemonade and slush puppies.

I know where Barbara is, in bed with the AC unit on, happy away. They can make your eyes a bit dry sometimes, just a thought. They do that in the car moreso. Sucking the moisture out of the air.

Kerrin I hope you are ok. Not too exhausted at school, I bet it is hot and then some.

Charrisse I hope you have managed to get out to your knitting group and also keeping as cool as you can. Is there a nice breeze that comes across from the park?

Barbara, we are all ready to get under the cloak, the scones are done and cooling down.

Kath I hope you are not as ouchy today, sending ((())) as always.

Joan I hope you Sue and the doggies managed to sleep ok

Right, I had better move, again. Love to everyone, take lots of care, stay safe.

There is a honeycomb and chocolate ice cream cake in the freezer, should anyone fancy some N Night XXX Aidan

Kerrsa

Hello my arthritis warrior friends. I think I might have overdone it a bit as I've woken Up feeling rather yuck. Yesterday was our cluster athletics day, and yes you guessed right, I organise it. To top things off I forgot to put sun cream on so am a rather pinky colour. At least it's over, but my busy week continues.

I have my MRI scan later so at least get a bit of a sleep in.

Keep cool everyone. The wind was quite refreshing last night which was strange after such a cold night.

Hello Kathleen Aidan Carol Toni Kerrin and anyone else I missed
Kathleen I'm sorry you are in pain are you walking quicker.
Aidan I hope everyone has a good day.
Carol I heard on the radio if you put your wrist's under a cold tap it cools you down.
Toni how is Hileena shoulder getting on.
Kerrin good luck with your MRI i hope it goes well.
take care all
Joan xx

frogmorton

Aha!! Kerrin! All pink and exhausted and it's only Wednesday! ((())) We will be with you for your MRI - the cloak will be in use twice today and the bus ferrying us between too

Then my CT tomorrow Aidan glad you had a coffee. Not so good there is it

The cats were just chilling yesterday and no I got Miss Sleek to admit the test is not tonight midsummer is booked 2 years in advance - also for weddings, (wonder why she mentioned that :? ), and is definitely July. Although she can't remember exactly when..... :roll:

They met up early this morning Pepe having extra tips on birds of prey. Most important that is. Mr Potter is the examiner right enough, but since she's never seen the films she doesn't know. The picture suggests it is him though :shock:

If you keep trying hard I'm sure you will soon get back to being salon junior.

I can see someone has been on the window seat not sure who. There is evidence of cake eaten :?

I got our bedroom down to 19 degrees before bed I am right proud of myself!

Yes I must switch bot off in the event of a storm. No doubt Diddicat will tell me

I am glad Mum seems ok. She is really doing so well overall

Carol - I see you filled the fruit up again - not much left I will pick some up later. Those bush-babies do love their cuddles don't they?

I have been in with the Okapi this morning once the hose was switched on.

The warthogs love their mud you're right, but they do splash a bit

So will you sell the bear for charity of keep her put her up for Christmas for one of the GGDs maybe?

Did you tell Aidan Lily is ok with sp****s??? So was my sister she used to kiss them :shock: Not now though

Well Joan
I read Hileena's doc is really pleased and she can get back to her crutches and maybe even driving in a month.

Love to everyone else who isn't posting just now ((()))

Hi everyone.

MRI done, those under the cloak, hope you enjoyed the AC, the coolest I've been all week! Back in the London heat now, and sunscreen been applied although don't plan on being outside too much.

Sending some home made lemonade your way Barbara. My joint not liking this weather much either, also not helped by using them too much.

I saw the puddy tats get their brooms out this morning. Think they're heading somewhere cooler.

Hello all, the longest day - Chris says every day is the longest day. :roll: Aidan, my hip is very ouchy - it's my uncomfy armchair. I've even got cushions in it but they don't make it any better. I might take a chance on the window seat. Perhaps I will sit on you this time. :shock:

Toni, Chris and I have a fan each by our beds. Lovely breeze from them. There is the perfume of Roses in our sitting room. I don't know why. I'll just have a slice or three of that delicious looking ice cram. Yummy.

bubbles

Afternoon to all - to say it is humid, would be this months understatement. AC is on full blast.
We still have the weather warning in place...........not sure why, it is blazing sunshine.

Anyway, I did the ironing :shock: :shock: , had the AC pointing into the kitchen, but I was still in a total lather. Duly showered and cooling slowly.

Hi Kerrin, oh dear, not good that you are a wee bit bunt and yes I can imagine you did most of the organising, you are the best one by far, but, it takes it toll and overdoing things, as we all do, leaves us washed out.

Glad the MRI was ok and yes, it was chilly under the cloak, it was lovely, we all had to wear ear defenders though.

Hope you have a good rest of the week, then a nice week end off. Any plans, or just resting up a while. Ah, the puskins have their broomsticks, Toni was right. I wonder if they are coming up for their tests on the same day as pepe's.............

Hi Joan, take care in the heat, with Sue and the doggies, it is super warm today, horrid in fact.

We do need the bus today, to get between appointments Toni. Then we will need it tomorrow, for yours, in the early evening. Hospital coffee, well, let's say it was not the same as the GC or Nero's, in fact it was a little

Midsummer no, no tests available for tonight. Well booked up. I heard them whispering again this morning and I have a sneaky suspicion it might be tomorrow morning, early light. Maybe if you happen to just drop it into conversation and see Miss Sleeks reaction, that would confirm it for us all. Pepe has had some food and :animal_busy: at the moment. Saying nothing.

He never mentioned birds of prey, he is a one...........Broom Stick control has to be in contact at all times, so he will need to be ready with his call sign and altitudes etc.

Oh, did I drop some crumbs, I do apologise, Kath sat on me and the cake went west

You did well with the room temperature, ours is saying 25 at the moment, it was 22, it seems to be getting hotter, not cooler :roll: Hang fire, it is pill time, I will be back.........

Yes, Mum is doing well, all things taken into account. We will pick them up in the morning and go to the GC.

Spi----s, I know, Carol said, and your Sister used to KISS them. Oh My Days. Fainted................

That is good news about Hilena, thank you for posting an update, I am so bad at getting around the forum, I never used to be :roll: shame on me.

Hi Barbara, the lady who is oh so cool

OH trained me and I have done very well for all these years, just that one "ooops". I will be back to salon junior soon I am sure, well, in 6 months or so.

I seem to have left crumbs all over, on Toni's window seat, on the cafe floor, under the cloak. Oh dear, I had better vacuum.

Hope we were all well behaved for your appointment today, I think we were, not too much fidgeting. Was the heating on in the hospital, it felt like it :shock: Glad we had the lemonade on tap.

I think your good self, Kath, Kerrin and I are all having more joint pain than normal, with this hot weather (hottest since 1976, which I remember very well). The Rectory lawn was completely brown and parched, Mother called it the Gobi Dessert.

Carol seem to fair better, as does Joan. It is odd how it affects people so differently. Mind you, I am just odd anyway :?

Sorry you are ouching Kath, I am sharing your pains, honestly. Hips, knees, back, neck, arms, that just about covers everywhere. Is it time for a new armchair? You need to be as comfy as possible. I know none of us like sitting for any length of time, but when you do, you want to feel supported and comfy.

You did sit on me, lol. Now the cakes went all over, :shock: Toni found the evidence. I will ask Miss Sleek to brush them up with her tail.

You help yourself to the ice cream cake, there is plenty for all.

Well, I had better away, will await the storm. It is so humid out, the worst day of the week by far. The AC is stopping on until late tonight, even while we are napping it can go on low.

Hi to Christine, Charrisse, Carol, Mig and all, take care, keep cool and hydrated.

Catch you later XX Aidan

barbara12

Thanks all for being under the cloak...the consultant had a day off dont blame him really in this weather..they went through everything ..including a balloon wont say anymore in case Toni is listening..anyhow I declined for now..had 2 hips replaced and scared of a balloon.. but they kindly said I can ring up when ready..so that can go on my list of things to do... thumb op ..back op and now nose... :shock:
Aiden its is awful weather ..today feels so much hotter than it been ..like you say storms on the way..the temp in our back garden reach 100...Oh has trained you well..he must trust you .. you were all very quiet under the clock think cake had something to do with it..
Kerrin thanks for the homemade lemonade....just what I needed..with lots of ice..glad your MRI went ok not always nice things to have..
Kath so its the longest day..I am with Chris every day is long.. hope your joints ease up soon hopefully when it gets cooler..
We are sat here listening to the traffic flying past..I have been on to our MP and sent him pics of the both accidents..and we are getting together to get something done..they took our old car today it was like saying goodby to an old friend..really sad..
still got the ac in my bedroom its to heavy to bring downstairs then take back so I'm off to bed early..
Love to everyone
Will be under the cloak with Toni tomorrow xxxxx

applerose

Aiden, I don’t know how people can sit out in this heat. I can manage about 15 minutes at most. That’s about the time it takes me to walk home from work so I don’t get out in to the garden. Definitely no chocolate under the cloak. Hope mum’s new meds help her to feel better and maybe start eating a little more.

Toni, I won’t be around for your appointment so I hope it all goes well. Or is it tomorrow? I can be under the cloak if it is. I checked about the EHIC card and it is only for Europe but I’ll take it anyway. Just read your appointment is for tomorrow so I will be there. Shall I bring ice cream and lollies?

Joan I hope this hot weather is ok for you. I’m finding it hard going. It took me longer to hang my washing out than it did to dry. I more or less hung it out then brought it straight back in. Good idea to put your wrists under cold water.

Barbara, it sounds as if your appointment went well and you got all the info you need to decide when to go ahead with treatment. The EHIC card is to get you medical treatment at the same price as here when you are in Europe. It’s not insurance though. You’ve lost another car. The man was very lucky to just have scratches. Bet the family who were walking past were shocked. Something definitely needs to be done. How lovely being able to borrow an AC unit. Good idea to see what you think of it.

Carol, I’m the same at the moment – no cooking, just salads and cooked meat or fish. I imagine it can’t be easy knitting in this heat. Your GD was very good at the dentist. It’s good that she’s not scared to go.

Kath, how are you finding your new rollator? I see you are not liking the heat. It is draining, isn’t it?

Kerrin, I imagine a lot of people have been caught out with the sun lately. Hope your pinkyness doesn’t hurt and you feel better soon. Hope your MRI went well.

I had a lovely day on Sunday. A lovely meal with my son and his family and my DIL’s mum and dad. Then went back to their house. The village has the scarecrows up now so my youngest GD walked me round to show me them. Went to Tesco yesterday and stocked up on ice lollies. I was very good and didn’t buy a big tub of ice cream. It’s my day off today but my boss’s mum asked me to go today. All she wanted me to do is hoover the bedrooms and stairs. She gave me a lift home which was just as well as the rain came down in sheets. Our road was flooded and looked like a river. Fortunately it went down fairly quickly when the rain stopped. We were supposed to get thunder and lightening but haven’t yet. We’re on yellow alert till 2 in the morning so still time.

bubbles

A very warm and super humid evening to all..........The air is like treacle to say the least.

Glad we were of help under the cloak, it was getting a bit warm under there, Kath had the Bush babies in her pockets too. We were very quiet, there was a lot of cake to eat, so that kept us all out of mischief.

Good that they went through all the options, including the unmentionable, we don't want Toni to know of balloons.

You do right, as and when you are ready to go ahead with any treatment, you have been through enough already and need time to recuperate.

Tonight is the worst night of the week, by far, the AC is stopping on until we go to bed, no way am I turning it off. We have had it on low all day, with good effect, it has cooled the lounge and hall and is kind of drifting into the bedrooms, which is good. I can well believe it was 100 plus in your garden. The whole country is on meltdown.
We have had this weather warning for storms and torrential rain and what have we had, nada. Two drops of rain and that was it. :roll: I was getting all ready for a good storm. Oh well. Apparently it is going to cool off from today onward. We will see.

I bet you are off early to bed, to get nice and cool. The machines are heavy for lugging up and down stairs, (park home, all on one level )
Not nice sitting listening to traffic fly past, that is one thing we do not miss at all. Any traffic here are either residents or deliveries. Once a flood a car will go past.
I hope the MP can pus some pressure on to get the speed camera put in or speed humps, anything to prevent another accident. Oh, you old car has gone, will they write it off?

I will see you under the cloak today, fresh scones are ordered and ready to collect en route.

Hi Christine. Sitting out, oh not a hope. Neighbours opposite can sit out from mid morning until late afternoon, no matter how hot it is. They don't seem to mind it, although she said it was a bit too warm and sticky this afternoon. A BIT :shock:
No, best not take chocolate under the cloak, we will all be covered in it.
Ice cream and lollies will be wonderful.

I have not bothered to hang any washing out, I have just put in on the airer, then once it is dry, tumble it on cold, to get rid of any fluff or pus cat hairs. No way is it going on a drying cycle, I would faint. It was bad enough ironing a pile of shirts today, I was at one with my clothes. :?

I don't think any of us are doing any cooking. We went to Booth's and they have a hot deli, so we got some lovely cooked cumberland sausages, to have in sandwiches, which were very nice. Not had sausages in years.

Been watching the tennis from Queens, goodness there were some very red people sat there - some sore backs and shoulders I am sure.

I am so glad you had a lovely day on Sunday, I was hoping it all went well for you. Bet you enjoyed a walk round with your GD looking at the scarecrows.

Net village to us, have scarecrow festivals and this week end is the duck race, (barely a drop of water in the stream) :roll: not sure how far any of the ducks will get?

A shame you had to go into work, but glad that you had a lift home. We will have some of your rain, with pleasure, we are parched here.
So you are on yellow alert too, I know they said storms heading out to the east, so maybe you will get a rumble of thunder.

Pepe has been talking to Miss Sleek and they have been whispering about H Potter. I think they watched a couple of films, so they know who he is now. Pepe seems a little nervy, so, I have a strong suspicion that Thursday is the day, we are out in the morning and then we are under the cloak, so there is plenty of time for a flying test on Pendle. We will see what transpires.

All the lovelies are doing well in the zoo. Some are a little wilted in the heat, but ice lollies are going down a treat. The Tapirs are up to their necks in the pool (don't blame them), warthogs are thick with damp mud, much to the disdain of the giraffes. Dr Doolittle and James Herriott are on tonight, so they are in safe hands.
There is fruit a plenty, mealworms and scorpions for the meerkats, all the bottles for the babies, hay, bamboo, fresh cut grass, vegetables............it is like a supermarket, in the food prep area.

Right, I will have to move, I am set like stone.

Love to everyone, take care, lots of care, keep as cool as you can and try and rest.

We are out with Mum n Dad this morning, at the GC.

N Night XXX Aidan

frogmorton

Oh little kitten bo-boing Adorable Aidan

Good you are seeing Mum and Dad today.

Now I was under the cloak yes, but when it came to information I did this



Nice of them to set off balloons when Barbara is better don't you think??

My aircon has no night mode. I have sent off for a thingy...it goes in the window crack to seal it and then I will happily keep it on all night anyway. Last night was torture.

They do know who Mr Potter is now. The test is definitely next month so I suspect a week on Thursday. Poor Pepe is a jitter already bless him. Miss Sleek cleared away all crumbs so no harm done

Take flasks today forget the hospital coffee and if anyone is up for choir practise afterwards???

Barbara when you are in a bungalow you will easily be able to move your aircon around

You do have a lot of surgery imminent is the sinus one erm.... minor as in will you be awake? :?

WELL DONE for starting the ball rolling with the road safety. I am proud of you you'll be on the council next!!

I am sad for you loosing the old car.

Sorry folks got to go Charley has an emergency dental apt and wants her Mummy!

Back soon

Afternoon all, before I forget the link, this is the newer version of ours Barbara, from Argos. I know ours was from Argos. He must be convinced, makes life far more bearable in not only hot, but humid weather, much better for us
