Well, it is now early Monday morning, Sunday came and went. :? Family, family, then sit down to write at 11 and GS wife messages, talks to her for a long time.

And the plumber is coming at silly o clock this morning.............. :roll:

So this will be a short hi and bye......and I will catch up later today, he says, hopeful as always.

Glad there was some air again, with the nasal rinses Toni.

Yes, we will have to put you and Barbara under a general, so you don't see the trocar and cannula.....don't ask :shock:

I think Pepe and Miss Sleek had a good trip to see Jericat and Tomicat. They used a transportation spell, well, they asked Hermione and she sent them there in a puff of magic dust. Miss Sleek was overwhelmed with the whole experience. Bless.

Playing Croquet, very nice, wrong order, never mind eh, all good practice for Hogwarts.

Good to hear that your beer fest was way better. 70 beers, that is geeky and a wee bit pretentious if you ask moi.

I will look after the plumber, lots of Tea.

Hi Barbara, hope you have had a good week end with GD.

Mum and Dad are thrilled with the card from the Queen.

Family all came round in the afternoon and that took us to nap time. Then more family chats have taken me to bed time.

You are off to have the check on your hand today, hope all is well. Will be in your pocket

Good that you heard from your MP and for sure, you want a traffic coordinator, silly council, what do they want, people to suffer terrible injuries before they will do something. Go for it Barbara, get em told. Maybe a local petition would help as well.

Hi Carol, so glad that you sold some cards at the Church, that's lovely and one of your Church friends sold one of their paintings. Good, I am so pleased it went well.

5 days now and counting down...............exciting, packing, checking, have we got this, that, the other.

Angina is pretty frightening, not as frightening as a heart attack, that was just the worst thing I can ever remember, my first one was silent, but the second was certainly not.

Yes, bring one of the Bush babies along to Barbara's appointment, with biscuits of course. Toni will have the cloak ready.

Hi Joan, it is good when you know the Drs well, it makes you feel better when they know you as a person and not just an illness waiting for a diagnosis

We have a lot of rain ahead of us, showers, thunder, sunshine, the whole lot.

The link came up with a request for permission to view. I think it is just one of the settings on your google pictures.

Right, I will love you all and leave you for now. Everyone take lots of care, will catch up later today. Should have time, seeing as we are up at 7.30 :shock: :shock:

N Night, XXX Aidan

Strawberries and cream filled french toast

frogmorton

I clicked on the bit to request permission to view Carol's photo Aidan???

I'm glad to hear Mum and Dad were chuffed to bits with their card from the Queen how lovely and that you have good visits fitted around sensible rest periods

Perfect

As is the posh breakfast :shock: Needs a posh coffee to go with it....

Oh it will be such a trial having to make cuppas for the plumber won't it? New taps will be good though.

70 beers :roll: geeky! Ours was much better.

Cat-Croquet yes very unusual and a bit dangerous - those balls are wooden :shock: Hermione (gosh is Miss Sleek overawed!!!)sent them to see Jericat and Tomcat as a special treat they still have one transportation spell left!! They are waiting for Carol and Mr T to have their pusskin so they can see whether he(or she) is a flyer or not.

Patronal service went well with The Rev Delphine in charge and Barbara miming!!!

Carol on that subject (see above) I bet you are getting exited It won't be long after the visits will it?

Well it sounds as though you are organised for the cruise I wish I was coming with you...sigh

7 cards sold?! That is fabulous every little helps:) Shame you couldn't get to Church today - no buses??!! We had the patronal service at the next village's Church and we were singing.

I clicked on the link and it said I needed permission. I hope we can see Snowy. Bless him. 5 months already.

Pepe and Miss Sleek will not be riding Emus I have told them!!! but they do want to meet your cat when he/she comes to see whether he/she flies.

Barbara we will all be with you today the cloak is ready and aired (Miss Sleek had been sleeping on it :shock:

I will pass it to you afterwards for Lucy's check-up at clinic tomorrow re the leukaemia.

You will definitely do 60 years I can tell. Don't forget to get one of your kids/GDs to write to let the palace know.

The wine was cherry and apricot which I tasted. I was driving remember, but will be buying some for a treat. Geeky wine probably. But YUM!!

When we have our windows replaced :? we'd better be able to go home or the pub because I do not want anyone told we are 'comfortable' :roll: yeah right!!

Good job at the performance last night miming those top notes!!

Hi Joan I am so glad you have such a good surgery and am sure your GP deserves her holiday.

It was quiet yesterday, but at least we saw Carol. I reckon Christine will still be getting on top of things at home - garden etc. but Kath? Elizabeth are they ok? I hope so. :?

Right onwards and upwards as they say better get something done Before it rains

Love

Afternoon to all, bright, breezy, the odd shower, quite pleasant. Even if we did get up at silly o clock :roll:

Carol's picture worked this afternoon Toni, lovely photo, aww, bless.

Breakfast was rather tasty, indeed, strong freshly ground coffee, they say it is good for you, 4 cups a day apparently. Americano's here we come

The new taps are wonderful, in fact I could be quite OCD with keeping them so gleaming and shiny, work with just a touch of the finger - SO much better than trying to wring them closed, like a chamoix and sending ones carpel tunnels off shouting. Well worth the money. A job well done, happy customers. Broke, but happy. :?

I thought that Pepe and Sleek were using softer croquet balls, not the real thing. But, it will stand them in good stead, as quidditch is not an easy one to win, as Mr Potter knows all too well.

Hermione was very kind to send them off to London in a fizz and a pop. Miss Sleek is still talking to Pepe about it, they were nattering early morning, caught them out, with the alarm going off at 730. They were just back from a fly round Pendle. They will want to meet Carol's new puskins, they will know very quickly if they are going to be broomstick riders. No, they must not go in with the Emu's, that would not be a good idea, let alone ride on their backs :shock: :shock:

They do have another transportation spell, which they should use wisely, in order to gain another in reward.

I am very pleased to hear that the Patronal Service went well and that Rev Delphine is good. Barbara did well with her miming then, hitting all the pre recorded high notes. She's a star.

We will be there for Lucy's appointment, just as we have been for Barbara's today.

Cherry and Apricot wine, it sounds rather nice, more like a Kir, as you get in France? Geeky, probably, lol.

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't go home with Barbara, even with a general, it is not a long procedure, if it is the one I know nothing about.

I hope everyone else is ok, Christine, Kerrin, Elizabeth, Barbara will be in soon for a much needed cake. Joan. And all.

I will have a potter and go take lots more meds. :roll: We seem to have had a long day already, nice to get some hours back though.

Right, cake..........Everyone take care, catch you later. XXX Aidan

Triple chocolate raspberry trifles

Coo, what a week. I thought I'd fallen down the Llama's loo and disappeared. We've finally got t'interweb back, after 3 engineers, a new router, 10 days and countless phone calls. :roll:

Thanks for sending me Bush Babies for cuddles and hugs. Ouchies have been up and down, so BB's were very appreciated. I'm making up for all the cakes I've missed too. Hope all are OK.

Afternoon all

Aidan glad the photo is now working I changed my settings and obviously it now works, will now be able to show you other pictures. cannot believe it has worked as I have tried so many times before and it has not Here is another of me and Mr T at his 70th party https://www.dropbox.com/s/hg12as4ic86z2ay/13882525_10205158495880778_3241805084684969289_n.jpg?dl=0
Yes the jammie Dodgers and custard creams were in the pocket with the bush baby so was quite happy until Barbara could have a cuddle and has now gone off to Barbra to make sure she is ok. countdown 5 days then we will be off Saturday cannot come quick enough now.
Oh no plumbers at silly o clock :roll: glad you like the new taps.
yes pepe and miss sleek will have to meet our puskins when we get him or her.

Kath Hope the ouchies heal fast. we don't like ouchies do we.

Barbara Glad the bush baby helped things along I kept him as quite as possible. Mind you I did have a pocket of crumbs after. Snowie will always be missed we had him so long he was 12 and we had him when he was a year old if we still had him he would have been 13 tomorrow.

well must love and leave you now as I need to move. been sitting to long hope I have not missed anyone.

dachshund

Hello Carol Aidan Toni Barbara Kathleen and anyone.else I missed
Carol I'm sure you will find a lovely cat who needs a loving home.
Aidan how nice your Mum in law getting a card from the Queen.
Toni I hope you are having a good day.
Barbara how is your wrist is it still swollen ((((((Barbara)))))).
Kathleen I hope you've had a good day.
take care
Joan xx

frogmorton

Carol Snowy looked a lovely dog really sweet natured You and MR T are a good looking couple too 5 days and counting I am well-jel!! You will be thinking of Snowie just now if it was his birthday tomorrow ((()))

Barbara I am so pleased that your wrist isn't broken PHEW!!! strapped up is nothing like as bad as a cast.

Clinic tomorrow if you can all come along I would appreciate it. You can have A costa on the way....we're going on the train

Fingers crossed Lucy will still be in remission

Kath!! Welcome back I was just starting to get worried!! That seemed forever!! Glad all is reasonably well fingers crossed ouchies aren't too bad.

I can't pronounce it but that posh cake!! Aidan gimme gimme gimme!!!

I polish my taps too :oops: :oops: :oops: I am so glad you love them

They did NOT use the soft balls - they used the ones out of our set :shock: never mind quidditch balls are even harder being metal.

Hermione has a soft spot for our two she's a sucker for a love story

They are naughty aren't they wanting to ride on the Emus backs!! very cheeky! But funny too

You nearly caught them this morning? Apparently it was very misty this morning on Pendle hill......spells have been being cast. For good I'm sure, but time will tell. :?

Barbara did well at the service yes she can mime really well. The recording was great we got compliments!!! Surely down to her

Yes those wines Lyme Bay Wineries (Devon I think) were like a French aperitif! Yummy

Joan I am fine thank you - Lucy at hospital tomorrow for a check up regarding the leukaemia - fingers crossed.

Love to everyone

Evening to all. All the taps are gleaming cannot stop shining them. It's a shame really :roll:

Kath, there you are - SO glad you are as ok as can be, we won't mention the internet, it has been a sore point over the past week, for the pair of us. New routers, lots of calls................ :roll: :roll: Good to see you are back online

Down the Llama loo, nooooo, we won't let that happen. Pepe and Miss Slimkins would cast a spell of protection to prevent any such event.

No worries, hugs are free and widespread and the Bush Babies will always turn up when cuddles are needed (as long as there is a biscuit in the house).

Sending more hugs for the ouchies to be more down than up. You take a rest on Toni's window seat and I will bring you a selection of the wonderful cakes. Promise I won't sit on you. :?

Hi Barbara,that is good news, no fractures. Just what we wanted to hear It was quite warm under the cloak, with us all piled in and the Bush Babies needing lots of cuddles, they liked it in Radiology as it was nice and dark.
No more throwing yourself down steps, it does us no good :shock:

Apparently coffee is good for us, preventing all sorts of things. They will change their minds next week and it will be the worst thing ever :roll: :roll: Phenols and the like, which are good for us, in both T and coffee.

No problems, it is a pleasure to be on pocket / cape duties. I will give it a good shake out, to get rid of the crumbs, ready for the trip today with Toni and Lucy.

The taps are great, they do turn, little handles, that do a 1/4 turn and are so so easy.

Glad you enjoyed the miming - there is a definite art to it.

More cake, help yourself.

Hi Carol, yes, the photo worked fine, what lovely pictures, Snowie looked so kind and loving XX (()) hugs for today as it would be his Birthday.

A very good picture of you and Mr T on his Birthday

4 days and counting now, I bet you cannot wait. I think Toni is coming with you, did you know :?

Miss Sleek and Pepe will be there in a flash, when you have new puskins in the house, did I say puskins as in plural - ooops

Hi there Joan, hoping You, Sue and the lovely doggies are as ok as can be. Have you been out and about? They keep threatening thunderstorms for us, but they don't seem to appear, yet. I might regret saying that.
Mum was thrilled with their card from the Queen.

How is your foot feeling, any easier ?

Hi Toni, worry not, we will all be there, on the train and in the clinic, the cape is crumb free, (for now). Pepe and Miss Sleek will be with us as well as the Bush Babies ( I am sure they will get on just fine)
Everything ready for a successful visit, with a good report. ((()))

The cake, I think it is pronounced sasher torte. Help yourself, they are SO good. I can bring some today, or is that a bad idea. :? We will need something sweet for the Bush Babies. If you see little paws appearing, don't jump :shock: :shock: Did I hear Costa mentioned, gosh, with that and the GC I will be on max caffeine.

Quidditch balls do go with a clang, so the more practice the better. I think they have practice sessions on Pendle, there has been spell casting, all for the good - it seems Hermione has been meeting them there and teaching them some basic magic. They both love her tent, with all the rooms in it. Miss Sleek was overcome. :roll:

Pepe said there is a spell of calm, which is instilled into the cloak

Right, another potter and cup of T I think for B who is busy in the jewellery workshop - won't keep you a moment

Hi to Christine, ELizabeth, Mig, Charrisse, Kerrin and all. Let me go see about our n night wishes and something for tomorrow morning.

Take care, lots of love XX Aidan



We had better have our own picnic hampers for today

Afternoon to one and all - thunder, lightning, torrential rain.............and that was just coming out of Sainsbury's :shock:

All the hours I gained the other day have now gone. I know we are all gathered under the cloak and waiting for news from Toni about Lucy.

Hi Barbara, Kath Joan and all. I didn't want to miss afternoon T, Toni will be ready for a cuppa and a comfy chair.

We got totally drenched this morning, rain running down our faces. Talk about weather and then some.

Love to all, until later. XX Aidan

Strawberry Lime Shortcake with Mascarpone Cream

frogmorton

Well we've had lovely weather all day except a little shower about an hour ago.

I must thank you all for being with me under the cloak today I expect you heard Lucy spilling Diddi's and Pepe's secrets? Yes apparently they kiss on the lips!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

A bush-baby paw popped out and I could swear Dr Tim should have seen it :? He didn't say a word though except that Lucy's bloods are good so she is still in remission

We also saw a lad we know, (had the same as Lucy leukaemia), he must be probably 23 now and also has AVN in his hip. He is having THR in September and his mum and he were amazed how well Lucy looks and how long her hair is

Two train journeys home and we are here well and happy.

A VERY good day

I have cut a large slice of strawberry lime shortcake with cream and a cup of tea....sigh perfect Thanks Aidan The cloak looked immaculate are you cleaning it for the next trip out? Is the 'calming' spell washproof?? :?

I didn't expect you'd all have quite so many cuppas (I know they sell it on the train, but it did rather increase the trips to the loo!!

Barbara it's such good news your wrist is ok just takes time healing now. It was a pleasure coming with you and yes stressful going to clinic. I have seen kids coming out in tears too many times.

Joan thank you for thinking of Lucy all was and is well. You are brave dodging the rain to walk the dogs

Kath - thank you all was well I know you understand how scary these check ups are ((())) I have left you the new Harry Potter to read on the window seat f needed.

Love to everyone

applerose

Hi all. Thought I should pop in and say hello.

Aiden, hope you are ok after your angina attack.

Barbara, glad you're ok after your fall and nothing broken.

Toni, yaay Lucy is still in remission. Great news.

Carol, you'll be off on your travels soon. Have a great time.

Kath, good to see you're back online.

Joan, hope your heating has been behaving.

I'm feeling less tired but my index fingers are very painful and swollen. It's not easy trying not to use them, especially at work. I was at the eye clinic on Friday. I was there 3 months ago and told I'd be seen again in a year. Apparently, the referral letter had been sent to 2 people therefore the two appointments. I'll need an operation sometime in the future to remove the 'crinkly clingfilm' that's over both retina and the cataract when it gets bad. I mentioned a blocked oil duct in my eye lid. Apparently, it's a cyst so I'm being referred to get that seen to. When I got home, my whole eye was swollen, red and itchy with all the poking and prodding. It's much better now after having bathed it for a few days.

Had a lovely time on Saturday looking after my youngest GD. We played with Shopkins (tiny toys which look like fruit, cakes, handbags, shoes, just about everything but with faces) most of the time and had a trip to the park.

bubbles

Evening to one and all -

Firstly, I must say I am so happy that Lucy is still in remission, I have been thinking all day and sending out those blessings a plenty. It was a pleasure to be under the cloak, with all assembled. Phew.

I will get back to Miss Sleek and Pepe kissing, on the lips !! :shock: :shock:

Hi Kath - yes, we had a major outage of the internet, which drove us batty, not long ago I am sure that Barbara had trouble with her internet too and Joan if I am not mistaken.

Have you been out and about, on the Sawley Trail? Under the Gazebo? having a cuppa. Always trusting that the ouches are not playing up ((()))

Hi Joan - good that you have been out and about, I think we have had warnings for thunderstorms for quite a few days, well, we had one today, I jumped out of my skin :roll:
The boot comes off this month doesn't it? I hope things are healing well.
Hi to Sue and pats for the doggies

Oh dear Barbara - you have sprung a leak :shock: This happened before if I remember rightly. The rain has been torrential today, as I said earlier, we were soaked through. The gardens do like it (apart from the black eyed Susan's).
Does the bay roof leak only when it is torrential rain, like we have had recently?
We were well behaved under the cloak, it was rather hot, but we all had fans, to waft ourselves with.

We were all very pleased that there was no # evident, no less so that yourself I am sure.

Oh the taps are wonderful, all shining brightly I keep nipping off and making sure they are all sparkling :roll:

The cakes and breakfasts have been extra yummy the last few days, nothing too indulgent though. :?

Any news about the traffic management consultant?

So Toni, coming back to the secret that Miss Sleek and Pepe have been hiding, the matter of them sneaking a little kiss. We will have to keep an eye, they sometimes forget that we have an App, so we can see what is happening on their Broom-cam.

It was a pleasure to be under the cloak, ooops about the Bush Baby paws, I think Dr Tim did see and there was a slight raise of one eyebrow, :? but nothing more, very professional and very nice. The good news is wonderful to hear. And breathe ((()))

Good to meet up with the young man who you know. What a rotten thing the AVN is, well, the whole shabang is. I hope his THR goes well.

Two train journeys and yes, we did have rather a lot of tea, so we were in and out of the loo's at every opportunity. Even the Bush babies had to be taken, they seem to like sweet tea :roll:

The cloak has already been on a handwash cycle and is on the airer. The calming spell can never be washed out, it is there for good

It has been a no fly zone, the brooms won't work if there is danger of bad storms and torrential rain. I heard Miss Sleek and Pepe on the video link, there was swooning and lots of purring :roll: Bless.

Hi there Christine - lovely to see you and good to hear that you are feeling less tired. Sorry to hear about your swollen and painful fingers, it is almost impossible trying not to use them. The Bush babies will pop over and give hand cuddles, the make them less ouchy.

Sounds like a few things to be sorted at the eye clinic. I remember you mentioning the film covering your retina and also the cataract. Did they not give a time span for the operation on your retina?

And a cyst to be removed from your eyelid, let's hope they can do that soon, under local. The cloak is always to hand, either here or at Toni's, just shout.

I am sure your eye was sore when you had been prodded and examined.

Shopkins, I bet you had fun with your youngest GD. I remember them being mentioned before, last Christmas I think. I will have to go and look at them again. Trips to the park too, wonderful.

No more angina attacks, thanks for asking. They are pretty scary.

I need to potter, will be right back ---

That's better.

We had a pleasant time at the GC, the scones were cooked to perfection this time Mum n Dad were ok, her warfarin levels are a bit askew with being on AB's, but that will settle down again. The card from the Queen, is lovely.

We were soaked through in the storm, the rain came from nowhere and was torrential.

B is busy with his creations. All the puskins are :animal_busy:

Hi to Kerrin, Elizabeth, Charrisse, Mig, Carol and all.

I had better go find our wishes and something tasty for breakfast.

Everyone take lots of care XXX Aidan




mmmmmmm

frogmorton

Morning all!! Thank you all for coming blessings aplenty surely helped get the outcome we were after

Aidan I will have another 'pain au chocolat' please I got covered yesterday rather :oops:

Everyone did seem to want to try the loos. Mind you they were pretty good weren't they? Did somebody actually hold a bush baby over the pan??? :shock:

So Dr Tim did see the paw? Ever the professional. Did you see his and Lucy's selfie? and his little goatie?? Bless him

Thank you all for coming and good that the cloak has had a hand wash and the calming spell is permanent. Barbara and I may need it for our sinuses :? I hope you wore gloves??

I expect it was partly an excuse to use the new taps and then buff them up again

Yes a proper no-fly zone it is today here. VERY bad weather this end They were purring very loudly weren't they? Bless them. I forgot about the app so we can keep an eye. It slipped out of Lucy when she was saying we are allowed to kiss Diddi's nose or forehead, but only Pepe is allowed to kiss her on the lips :shock: What am I saying! You were all there :oops:

Good to hear the GC did not disappoint yesterday and yes the INR will settle after those antibiotics are finished for Mum.

Lots of people clutching their yellow books at the hospital yesterday, but not quite in 'our' bit.

Christine I am so glad you had a good time, but not so your fingers are so sore. I hope they ease off ASAP :x It is not easy trying to 'rest' one finger I agree.

Strap it up is my suggestion - just to remind yourself not for medical purposes.

Ah shopkins with the little one How lovely! I bet you had a great time. Shopping is such fun isn't it when you're wee

I think it's a good thing you saw the other eye doc as he/she spotted extra things I hope the cyst referral is quick ((())) Lucy had a cyst chalazion under her eye, but I suspect it's not the same thing?

It's lovely to have you back anyway

I'll say hello to Joan as she usually pops in after me. Yes when do you see your foot specialist Joan?

Love to everyone

And love to everyone else...xxxxx

bubbles

Morning all, yes, morning, wonders will never cease. Thought I could sit a moment with a coffee.............

Help yourself Toni, pain au chocolat do tend to get a bit messy :? I liked it in France when they dipped them in their coffee

Oh the Bush baby wee wee, he had a little training pad, in a secret corner of the cloak, we might have dropped him in the loo and that would have been unthinkable :shock:

Dr Tim was very professional, anyone else would have been a little taken aback by two paws appearing from nowhere. Do we have a pic of Dr Tim and Lucy? Still smiling at the great news

Yes, the cloak had a handwash in the machine, then it dried overnight on the airer. It is all ready for the next appointment. I forgot to wear gloves, my hands feel very calm

The taps have been buffed, I snook round with my cloths and made sure they were all shining. I will have to get those tick boards that they have on public loo's, to tick when the taps are done

The weather is not as good as the forecast, (no surprise there then), Pendle has vanished in the mists and rain. No flying today, but I am sure there will be snapcatchat at some point.

All the puskins were up and down through the night, one goes to the loo, then they all have to go............. :roll: :roll:

Pepe was keeping very hushed about any kissing, said he didn't know what I was talking about. :? We will have to check on the cat cam when they next go out and about. Oh, these came down our chimney :? one each for Pepe and Miss Sleek, they can now train fellow puskins up to level one broomstick flying.


Aii, Mum's INR will soon settle, her AB's finish today. Tomorrow is their 60th Anniversary and my late Mum's Birthday, so a kind of mixed emotions day. We will take them out for a bite to eat at lunchtime.

Warfarin clinic, never seen so many yellow books in one area.

Hi Barbara, we thought it best to share the storm. :shock: I am sure you will be letting the traffic man know of the terrible dangers on your road. I guess they do some kind of survey, maybe put those strips across the road, that tells them numbers and how fast they were going. Apparently speed humps are going to be scrapped, because of car emissions.........don't ask.........

Did you manage to sort the leak? We don't want you sat in a puddle. :shock:

Enjoy your breakfast, I will go fuss over the washing / drying.

Hi to Joan who will be here very soon.

I must pop into the secret garden and have a cuppa with Kath while there.

Then I must must go round our animal world. I know they are all looked after very well, when we are busy.

Take care, catch you later XXXX Love to all XXX Aidan

Weeeee brilliant news Toni, Ooo I could hug a BB - in fact I will.

I'm loving all these cakes, and the cuppas are very welcome. Do you think reading a Harry Potter book might teach me to fly?

We did the Sawley trail yesterday, but I was very ouchy. Saturday we were under the gazebo, not quite so ouchy then.

Hi Kath, oh the cakes are essential, we are all diagnosed "cake dependent", so they are a must have.

I hope the Bush Babies came over for their hugs, if they smell the cakes, they will be over in a flash. It is lovely news for Lucy and all.

One of the Bush Babies was at Carol's, trying to sneak into their suit cases. :roll: they are cheeky.

Glad you did some of the Sawley trail, but it was ouchy, less so under the gazebo, we will plump for the less ouchy and may it continue so.

I am not sure about reading A harry Potter book, giving you flying skills, but Miss Sleek and Pepe could sprinkle some magic and attach a comfy seat on the broomsticks and take you for a spin round the Spire over at Toni's Church. :shock: :shock:

Right, cakes, we need cakes. Enjoy XXX Aidan

Bought the new Harry Potter book yesterday coincidentally Kath!! Didn't help me fly I've 'run' and jumped and flapped my arms....

Hug a Bush-baby anytime you are super-happy and we are today still smiling

WOW!!! Look at that certificate Adian!! Miss Sleek has one too and doesn't she know it!! Sashaying about the place tail up-periscope

Now that is an idea if they could give Kath a ride on one of their broomsticks!! Next time she is on our window-seat Diddicat has promised she'll get Pepe straight over.

She does confide in Lucy a lot about 'boy stuff' doesn't she? She was the fisrt to tell us about whisker-touching?

I am very glad to hear the bus-baby was not held over one of the loos :? I was very fearful we'd loose him!!

Tomorrow will be a mixed day for you, but hopefully the 60th anniversary meal will take your mind off anything sad ((()))

I'm sure the INR will stabilise soon again.

Yes yellow books everywhere I kept my own Mum's for many years after I lost her.

Silly me.

Butterfly cake for me

Barbara it's lovely of you to think of us all day when we go to clinic. To be honest we are lucky as bloods tell it all and the machine tests there in 10 MINUTES!!!! (The DNA :? one they do at the beginning to tell you a) which cancer and b) how bad takes up to 48 hours.

Yes the young man and Lucy get on well, but he is scared of surgery and Lucy said yes it hurts, but it's getting better pain not the AVN pain

Love to everyone else

Aiden, thank you. No time scale for my op. There are 3 things that might need to be done so they will wait till at least one of them is quite bad and then do all 3 things together – remove the cataract, replace the vitreous gel and remove the epiretinal membrane. I’m guessing they’ll do the worst eye then wait till the cataract in the other eye grows then do that one. I’ve only got one cataract but they told me that once that’s removed, the one in the other eye will grow rapidly. The bush babies are helping with my fingers. Thanks for sending them. Sorry you got soaked in the downpour. They do sometimes come on so suddenly. Happy anniversary to mum and dad and some hugs for you as you will be thinking of your mum at the same time. I saw the news about scrapping the speed bumps to reduce emissions. That will only help a tiny bit but will increase traffic speed in areas where traffic needs to be slowed down.

Toni, thank you. Good idea to strap my fingers. I’ve done that before when my wrists were bad. As you say, just as a reminder. I had to look that up. The eye doctor only said it was a cyst. I think it is the same as Lucy had as my ducts are blocked. Did Lucy’s go on its own? Mine isn’t bothering me as much at the moment. It felt as if it was scratching my eyeball but the swelling has gone down a bit. Still red though. So the Harry Potter book didn’t help you fly. Wish I’d seen you trying though.

Barbara, thank you. Is the traffic thing you are to sign to do with the traffic outside your house? Hope it helps. I reported a few vehicles which completely block the pavement round the corner to me. They are forcing everyone to walk out behind them in to the road as they are almost immediately on the corner. The traffic officer has asked me to phone him the next time they are there and he’ll come out and have a look for himself. You’ve got a leak. Is it your roof? Hope it’s not too bad.

Kath, let us know if you read Harry Potter and end up flying round the Sawley Trail. Sorry you were ouchie. Hope the bush babies help you. Sitting under the gazebo sounds lovely.

Joan, I’m glad to hear your heating is working ok now. It is still a little chilly at times despite it being summer so no bikinis.

My day off today so have spent a lot of it doing an essay for one of my courses. Just one more essay to do and all the questions to answer then that one's done. Did I mention that my 13 year old GS is in Ireland on a 2 week outward bound course with the army cadets? I think he'll be having a great time and is due back this weekend. I was listening to the news on the radio this afternoon when they said 63 army cadets had to be rescued from a mountain due to sudden bad weather. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Phoned my son at work but he said it wasn't my GS's group thank goodness. Took me a while to settle back down. Some of the cadets have minor injuries such as twisted ankles but some have hypothermia.

Evening to you all

Toni yes our Snowie was a lovely natured dog he loved nothing better than a snuggle on the sofa with you. he was big softie people have this thing about thinking that his breed are dangerous dogs but my daughter has a staff too called Chino and he is also a big softie getting an old softie now as he was 13 a good while ago. now 3 nights sleep and we are off. Glad to hear Lucy's bloods were all ok it was very hot under that cloak and yes the toiles were very busy.

Joan i'm sure we will find our cat even if it dose take time to make sure we rescue the right one for us .

Aidan Surprisingly the picture of me and mr t is a good one of us both and is one of my favourites. your right about snowie love and cuddles are all he ever wanted. think the new puskin will only be one unless we get carried away of course. 3 more nights sleep now then off we go. Toni will have to stow away in the suitcase along with the cheeky bush baby found him on top of the cupboard checking out the cases but soon came down for a jammie dodger told him he cannot come but if one is missing in a couple of days time you'll know where he has gone.

Aidan Yes it was me last year at Christmas talking about shopkins my Lille wanted them for her Christmas present,


Sorry if I have missed anyone but must really go for a potter the bones are complaining now.
