How much choice Aidan thank you!

I will be talking with my mouth full again Thankfully I have had some double chocolate pecan trifle imagine if I'd missed that!!! :shock:

Gosh your poor neighbour! Near miss there, but B to the rescue! Those dryers which were setting on fire? The fluff was INSIDE the back door at the back of the drum, but all there advise on line was to keep de-fluffing where you can see :roll: I put on there facebook page where it really was and that they had offered me a cheaper version of mine for an extra £10 (mine was black) rather than fix it - 2 hours later I had a reply and a chap booked to de-fluff and put the thing on to knock the fluff off. :roll:

Hang on a minute.....there's a big mole hill 'banked my bot this morning....was it you??

Miss Sleek is so exited about there test, but almost as much about seeing Hermione again :roll: She's booked in for eyelash extensions and blusher :roll:

Pepe is going to be Jedi warrior? What has he been watching this time? He is adorable. Please make sure he has smelling salts to hand for the test on 31st.

Oh did I tell you they were called upon by Hogwarts to attend an emergency yesterday afternoon? A kitten stuck up a tree in Skipton. They were sent by transportation and saved him he was tiny! Sleek has a selfie with him and Pepe on her phone.

London was great apparently and Jericat did well at her lesson and has put in for her practical test too :shock:

Lytham is Sunday's trip out so I am told and yes the catpipes will be going with them....Miss Slimkins will have her back pack full of quidditch gear ready.

Gosh ELEPHANTS!!! Wow!! they are HUGE, but so sweet! they are after buns - Johnny has already started bad habits

The house is fabulous!! So the wizard is kindly? Are you planning to ask about the wand?? :?

Carol I hope this cold isn't as bad as the last one you had that was BAD At least it is at home and not on your cruise.

It is lovely to have you back to help with fruit deliveries! While you were away we seem to have acquired elephants and some penguins too!

I am VERY pleased to hear no weight gain!! how on earth did you do that??

Very scary Daisycat getting caught up in the wire, but the main thing is she's ok and I bought a new charger yesterday. My spare is very old and you have to put a book underneath the jack to connect it!!

Joan of course we helped Cris with her precious sheep they were in a filed a distance from hers...it was a 30mile round trip and in the winter no joke I remember us having them in the back of Paul's van!!! We went so slow and then as we got to Cris' she opened the gate and what did we hear? Sheep tiddling!!

Anyway I had better get on

Love to everyone and those missing friends too. Charisse has posted in LWA if anyone wants to pop by she's suffering too atm

Had another fall Monday coming back home, I got out the car and stood on a stone ..and that was that :shock: ...battered and bruised but could have been much worse ..the hips are fine..
Aiden it was good of Bill to help your neighbours they are all lucky to have you both ..and mum is doing ok for now thank goodness...I will go and have a look at the pic of your lovely mum and dad you have out on FB..
Toni is getting ready for benidorm ..the other place I couldn't think of is Albia..Ron will know all these places and the buses..
Kerrins mum is over form SA..so getting all exciting now.. I do love a good wedding..

Afternoon all, bright, nice breeze, just about right, temperature wise.

Barbara, I hope you are ok, battered and bruised, goodness, take care. Naughty stone, I hope you kicked it.
The bush babies will be there to help with the cuddles and ease any ouches.

Hi Toni, there was quite a spread for Breakfast, mountains of it. Glad you found the chocolate caramel pecan trifle things - verging on the divine.

Don't worry about talking with your mouth full, we have an automated little vacuum, a bit like bot, who will pick all the bits up for us

It was a close shave with M next door. Glad she was home, she normally puts it on and goes out !!! :shock: never, never, never.

A new one, condensing one, has been ordered, for delivery next week and her other neighbour has let her borrow one of those baby dryers. You cannot get more than two towels in, but the thought was there. We can always dry things if needed.

So many fires have been caused by fluff, building up on elements etc. I remember you saying about yours being one with the dodgy seal, allowing fluff through to the heater.

A BIG mole hill, me, moi, no, couldn't possibly be :? :? Bot would never get over the hill

Oh bless, Miss Sleek was showing Pepe the beauty magazine and how her eyelashes would look and air brushed blusher. Not sure if he was taking much notice, being a Jedi Master. He has been watching the box set of Star Wars on Sky. He even put his ears into the shape of Joda's
He has smelling salts in every room, for every eventuality and always has some on the broom.

They did well, rescuing the kitten in Skipton. He found a light sabre in a toy shop in Skipton, while they were over there. So he is happy. It makes all the right noises. Then they were transported back home, with photo of course.

Jericat is a natural broomstick flyer and will pass her test, no problem.

Ah, Sunday is the trip to Lytham, right, I was getting mixed up. Pepe was telling porkies.

The Wizard was very wise, he did mention the wand and said it had been handed down, from one generation to another, for quite a long time, he didn't say who the last owner was.
I did ask who trained Tomicat, but he was not at liberty to divulge, all he said was, a very skilled pupil from Hogwarts, but not Mr Potter :?
He made me a cup of T, well, I think it was T, it was bubbling and fizzing? :shock: :? Tasted good though.

Buns, yes, we need trays of buns for the elephants. Carol will hardly recognise the sanctuary, with all the additions, it is bad enough for us to keep up. Glad we have lots of Keepers and Vets to look after their daily needs.

More ice has gone into the penquins pool area.

I spotted Charrisse had posted, bless her, she is in a lot of pain, as you say. Many hugs for her (((())))

I am glad your hips are ok Barbara. We need to wrap you in cotton wool, or bubble wrap, then you will bounce back up. Do take care. I was wondering where you had got to. Nursing your wounds..........

So the traffic is just as bad as it was, despite the signage :roll: :roll:

I hope all is quiet next door, no more alarms going off.

I will find some extra lovely treats for T, to help ease those bruises away.

GC was nice, scones and coffee were all up to par, our friend was back in charge of drinks today DN has been to do Mum's insulin the past two days and will be there again tomorrow, to show Dad........eeek, watch this space. :? :?

Right, I had better go sort some washing out. It is nearly pill time too.

Love to everyone, in and out of the cafe. Take lots of care, will pop back later. XXX Aidan

Soft as Silk Devils Fudge Cake

frogmorton

OMG!! That cake!! Soft as silk it was when I splatted my face in..my slice

Barbara what will we do with you? I do hope you are ok? Not too sore? Aidan is sending the bush babies over I think they can even be in 3 places at the same time ((()))

Albia? I will have to ask Ron he loves it there

Annoying the road is still too fast. Keep up your leafleting though every little helps.

Aidan what are you going to do? I expect Dad assured the nurse he will be able to do the injection :shock:

I'm glad the pengies have had more ice they need it this weather.

GC was good and coffee as you'd expect all good then

The wizard has given us a clue I am sure a wizard from slytherin don't you think? One who seemed bad but was actually rather good?

Pepe has a light sabre? Awww!! Bless his little cotton paws They were real heroes and heroines too saving the kitten. Photo has pride of place

Lytham is definitely Sunday's trip out for sure....Miss Slimkins is usually right about such things. :?

I can imagine Pepe looking like Yoda with his ears!! She thought he did pay attention to her magazines luckily

I never leave my dryer on these days after those faulty ones. I am glad your neighbour is ok. Mine is and was a condenser one much easier especially in winter no need to poke anything out of the window.

That vacuum which picks up bits when you talk with your mouthful is fabulous great invention

Poor Lucy has a cold bless her so hot lemons all round.

I will NOT catch it!!!

Love

Carol holiday always go quick I think. I hope you had a good day today.
Aidan it was good you were there to help your neighbour. love to your Mum and Dad.
Toni that was a while ago you helped Cris with the sheep.
Barbara did you twist your ankle when you fell ((((((((Barbara))))))))
take care all

Hi all

The cough has developed a bit more today and is very irritating and made worse by the runny nose which I have to keep blowing but a had a good nights sleep last night because I put olbas oil on my pillow which kept my nose and I didn't cough hopefully it works tonight too. but I have asked Mr T to get the spare quilt out so that if I have to get up in the night and sleep in the armchair I can do so without waking him up. funny thing is I don't feel that bad at the moment, its just that the cough is very annoying but I have got some cough medicine now so hopefully I will be ok.

have been down with some fruit and buns for the lovlies Aiden they all seem quite content tonight saw the Penguins, the camels and heard the elephants noisily making their presence known.

so we now have a date for Pepe and Sleek's advanced test bless them so they will be very excited over the next few days. hopefully the smelling salts will not be needed

I was very pleased at the weight situation to say the very least. and couldent believe my luck. but yes the meals were yummy. especially the desserts.

always use high factor now since a few years ago when we were in Spain and Mr T fell asleep on the beach no suntan cream and got really back sunburn and was really unwell. the devils fudge cake was super nice.

Toni I too hope the cold dose not get as bad as the last one because I want to be rid of it before I go to Margate for the week the first week in September. and yes I would not have wanted it on the cruise. Hope Lucy's col is not too bad and you don't get it.

Barbara thank you I was shocked about losing 1lb as I fully expected to gain. As for the rest i'm am very busy this week next week should not be too bad but then the week in Margate will be a bit hectic for half the week as youngest GD and Lillie will still be on summer holiday. but it will be fun no doubt.

Hi Joan yes I did have a good day today. holidays take time to come but pass very quickly indeed. hope you too have had a good day.

Hope everyone has a good night will pop in again soon.

bubbles

Evening to all, late as normal :roll: I had to lie down after eating rather a lot of that silky devils food cake.

I hope you are all cleaned up after the cake Toni :shock: it is definitely a face plant one.

Oh yes, I am sure Dad was most convincing. We think the DN might be testing the water and seeing what he can remember and then check back with the GP. We will see, we expect a call at the week end - I did say to them today, don't get in a flap over it, just ring.

Yes, all was good at the GC, the scones where HUGE, so that was perfect. SO big you had to have three little pats of butter

Was it Horace Slughorn that was the good one in Slytherin? Merlin was sorted in the house of Slytherin. He is SO famous. I will try and find the wizard again and ask some more questions - without pushing my luck of course :? :?

Yes, Pepe is very happy with is Light Sabre - we went for a trip into the ravine and showed the nymphs - not sure they were very impressed :roll: the wand and the broomstick were gone? Is Tomicat out and about, he must be............ :?

He did look cute with his Joda ears, bless

We are so glad our neighbour was home when the dryer went squiffy. She is not leaving anything on now when she goes out.

I like the vacuum too, handy when you are eating crisps as well as crumbly croissants etc.

Oh dear, hugs for the cold to go asap Lucy. Lemon and honey and barley - whatever tastes the worst will do the most good - so they say.

No, you won't get it, no no no.

Thank you Joan, I will send your regards to Mum n Dad, we do our fair share of neighbourly duties and then some - we don't mind really. We are not allowed to move, ever, people say what would they do without us

Hi Carol, I will send some embrocation for getting rid of the cough. Tickly ones are horrid especially at night.
Olbas oil is very good, although it makes my eyes stream, I love the smell. You can get olbas bath oil, makes the room smell wonderful.
Hopefully you won't have to get up and sleep in the armchair, hugs ((())) for it to go away quickly.

The elephants are always happy with currant buns, we will need a big order every day. They are a bit noisy and made the meerkats run for cover, until they realised they were safe after all.

Yes Pepe and Sleek are off to Hogwarts on the 31st, from platform 9 3/4, staying over, then coming back on the 1st Sept after the tests are done.
I think the smelling salts will be needed from time to time, along with Sleeks hypnotherapy.

I bet the meals were lovely on the cruise and all those deserts, mmmmmmmm.
You did amazingly well to keep on track and loose a lb.

Ouch, falling asleep in the sun without protection, big ouch, Poor Mr T, did he have sunstroke? that makes people so poorly. I think we have all overdone the sunshine in the past and I loved sunbeds too :shock:

Not long now before you are off to Margate to see the little ones. Love your new profile pic on FB, totally cute.

I hope you are resting Barbara and taking lots of care, the same for you as well Kath, the Bush babies will be in all places at the same time, little miracles they are.

Kerrin will be on countdown to the wedding. All very exciting.

We are off to sunny Skipton today, to meet my Aunt and Uncle for coffee and cakes in Nero's, so that will be nice, quite a while since we had a catch up. Potter around a few shops, then head back home.

Now, let me go see who is in the enchanted forest tonight.........



This forest is a bounty of mysteries. A Nymph, the sword in the stone, the shoe house - it is seriously magical. It all takes some working out.

Right my dearests I had better move and have another potter.

Hi to everyone here and away at present. Everyone take lots of care XXX Aidan

Will just go and sort some breakfast

bubbles

butterscotch breakfast buns

frogmorton

Oooh a butterscotch breakfast nun!! Lovely thank you Aidan Not sharing these with any elephants

I felt queasy after my cake yesterday too, but it was worth it - definitely for plating your face in

Dad just needs to know that he must not do it unless he is 100% sure he knows what he's doing. The DN might just be testing him I hope so. Yes you are around and will do it if needs be. :roll:

The Scones were huge at the GC lucky you!!

Yes Horace was a goodie at Slytherin, but what if it was Merlin who taught Tomicat?? :shock: :shock: :shock: and he was actually out using it??? Did Kerrin know?

Little Yoda-Pepe I thought he looked adorable, but Diddicat just kept laughing!!!

Lots of hot lemon for Lucy who will be with her Nan today as Paul and I are going OUT!!! Shock horror!! Yes we are off to visit a garden called Pettifers which started out like mine (the field bit) and was on Gardener's world.

Wow!! Look at the secret garden!! So much going on! I dreamt about it last night.....I was watching the nymphs dancing

Oh Poor you Carol I am glad you have your quilt ready incase in the lounge, but I hope you get over the cold quickly with olbas oil and cough mixture to help ((()))

It had better be gone before you are off to visit the littlies!!

The cats are ready for their tests and very exited. Miss Sleek might faint when she sees Hermione and Pepe will be hypnotised into thinking the voles are toys ones!!

Joan yes we moved the sheep before Lucy got it I reckon probably about 4/5 years ago!! Time flies

Right off to get ready!

Love to everyone

Oh you lovely friends. I feel cherished. I'm worse in the morning, but take paracetamol, slather my Fenbid gel from lower back all the way down to my foot, an hour later aai take my Oramorph, change my patches spot on 72 hours, get down on the floor and give my hips a good stretch while cuddling the Bush Babies, then have brekkie (thanks to Aidan) plus toast and marmalade with coffee. Listen to my daily scripture on my iPad, then potter for an hour. Worst of the pain has gone then.

Carol, have you tried 'Simple Linctus'? the hospital introduced me to it when I had one of my Pseudomonas colonizations. I don't always get a cough, but keep some in anyway.

Help yourself, as many as you can manage, then a doggy bag for later

I am about to put cakes out for afternoon T too XXX Aidan

Phew, all the hours have gone, we are only just back from Skipton, so I will pop into the shed in the Secret Garden and gather a couple of hours later.

Toni is out with Paul, very nice, hope all was wonderful at the GC

Our lovely Mod D is joining us for a breakfast bun or three Very pleased to see you.

Barbara is recovering from her fall, you be taking lots of care

Kath, you know we are always sending out hugs, well wishes, good vibrations, healing thoughts and of course hugs and Bush Babies.

So glad that you have got somewhat of a lid on the ouches. My late mum always read her Scriptures in the morning, we have her daily inspirations book, along with her Bible and other meditation books, they are well treasured and would never part with them.

We had far too much coffee and natterings in Skipton, it was HEAVING with people, but Nero's was an oasis of calm, which was very welcome.

Time to find some cakes for afternoon T. Will write more later XXXX Aidan

Raspberry and custard cream slices

Hello Carol Kathleen Aidan Toni Barbara and anyone else I missed.
Carol I hope you had a good day. How is the baby.
Kathleen I do my exercises on the bed I cannot get on the floor.
Aidan you are a good neighbour. I had to go up the hospital for the results of my blood test because of the problem they had one result that had not come back I felt all a lone because I never told anyone.
Toni I hope you and Paul have a lovely day out. 5 years that's gone quick.
Barbara how are you feeling today I hope it does not hurt too much
take care all have a good weekend

Love to everyone xxxxxx

Evening / almost morning to all.

Finally some time to sit for a little while, says me, about to get up again and pop into the kitchen. :roll: :roll:

No Toni, those honey buns were not meant for sharing, I know, it sounds remiss, but, elephants wouldn't like them I am sure of it :? :?
Big deep breaths if you feel queasy after face planting into cake, a glad of chilled water and good to go again

We will find out this morning, how things went with the DN's visit. I will be asking many questions Well, it is Matron's duty to "know".

It might well be Merlin himself, who mentored Tomicat, I am sure the mystery will unfold itself with time. I don't think Kerrin know, Tomicat is keeping things well under wraps.

Miss Sleek was somewhat amused by Pepe in his Jedi outfit He is still over the moon with his light sabre and carries it with him at all times.
Miss Sleek came over and they had a fly round Pendle and a game of quidditch, with toy voles. We are almost there with the real voles, but not quite.
They went into the ravine, the wand and the broomstick were back in their place..........the plot thickens.

I hope you had a wonderful time at Pettifers (lovely name) GC. Did they have a tea room? Was everything just fab and you wanted to buy loads? I thought so

How is Lucy, keeping up with the hot lemon at Nan's to get rid of the cold bugs.

The Enchanted forest is just a different world, every time you go through the shimmering door.

Hi Barbara - ankle one way and you the other, oh dear. Padding, no, it is protection from the winter months, that's my excuse
As long as you are on the mend and you did not damage any bones / joints.
I will look up the garden you mention, have a nosy at it. Wow, what a wonderful place, an inspirational lady without a doubt.

Oh yes, there is never a dull moment here, always something going on, just another day, tumble dryer smouldering, ringing ambulances, medical problems........ :roll: :roll:

You are welcome to the cakes, hugs, bush babies and hugs. I used to like feeding the elephants at Twycross Zoo, it was my favourite zoo I think.

I am very glad that all is quiet next door, may it stay that way.

Don't blame you for not wanting to do much, falls take it out of you far more than people realise. ((()))

I am glad things are a bit better Kath, you are cherished, as are we all. We look after each other in any way we can.
Down on the floor to stretch your hips :shock: way to go Kath, I would never get up again. Not without two strong men and a winch.

Simple linctus is good, it coats your throat. It doesn't do anything to get rid of infections, but it does help ease a cough.

Hi Joan, how did you get on with the blood results. Aw bless, that you felt all alone, having not told anyone, we would have come with you under the cloak, all of us. Many ((()))
I hope you are ok now and hi to Sue and the lovely doggies too.

Oh and Barbara has popped in for T, I served it just in time.

Yes, Mum's books are very special, I have them squirreled away, safely, along with her diary. All of Dads are kept safe too, so many to read through.

We did have a pleasant time in Skipton, all the staff were pleased to see us again and looked after us so well. Aunt and Uncle were ok, lots of chatting, way too much coffee :roll:
A quit trip round Tesco's in the buggy, before heading home.

Right, I am running out of hours again and it is silly o clock in the morning, time for a cuppa and bed.

Hi to everyone else, Carol, Kerrin, Christine, Mig, Elizabeth, Charrisse and Mods.............Hope everyone rest well.

XXXX Aidan



Breakfast, something savoury today I think. South Western oven baked omelette

I failed to post due to getting on the Walkden secret valley website!! Barbara! It is lovely so much thought and effort has gone into it

The 5 years was since we moved Cris' sheep for her!! We've been married 12 years this time How many have you been together?!! Wow That is lovely to hear Happy belated anniversary! :cake:

Aidan Tomicat is a cheeky one We'll get to the bottom of the issue of the wand and mentor maybe when they pass their advanced tests

Lucy said Pepe will be alright and believe the voles are toys if Diddi continues with her Catnosis. He does look quite adorable in his Jedi outfit doesn't he? The light sabre is a slight encumbrance when flying though :?

The wand was back was it and the broom??? I think it's a magic broom and can take itself back once Tomicat is in his house looking bored and innocent.

Pettifers is a real garden! you can have a cup of tea, but no food so we nipped to a nearby GC for facilities and food....not bad at all and yes I did buy stuff :oops: a fair bit :oops:

Last night when I went to bed I couldn't sleep so I went through to the secret garden. This time the fox was there and he said "Come and walk with me awhile fair maiden" (his eyesight must be a bit iffy :shock: ) and he told me tales of distant lands and times before.....he told a tale of a magic wand with powers I couldn't begin to dream of....of a powerful and mysterious wizard whose name he could not utter.....a wizard with a long and white beard...and then I realised we were back at the door and he stopped talking just like that! His finger to his lips.

How is Dad doing with his injection lessons??

I'm glad Skipton was good and nice to see everyone Aunt and Uncle

Lovely blessing for today thank you

I've had some omelette as a kind of brunch

Joan your blood results? is it the calcium thing? Do you know what is wrong yet. You shouldn't have been alone we would have come with you under the cloak all of us cats and all!!

Kath you have an excellent routine going there for your pain I am very impressed and hope very much that the bush-babies help you do it all ((())) You are very cherished!

Conifers are finally coming down :roll: Daisycat is terrified and hiding in the spare room bless her.

Love to you all

Afternoon all..dare I say a bit warm
Toni ..sorry... so 5 years was the sheep move and not your anniversary..12 years ...that is much better.. thankyou for the cake.. so the conifers are coming down..good ..poor Daisycat will wonder what the ek is going on...glad you had such a good spend,..its good therapy...
Joan you do make me laugh ..although I shouldn't because we dont want you falling..be extra carful..unlike me... :shock:
Aiden the garden is lovely isn't it..much bigger when you see it for real..I was shocked...she has lots of volunteers..so that is good..thanks for the Saturday bless and the tea last night..I adore this secret garden so quiet and peaceful..one of the nicest zoos we went to was Painton in Devon..and I remember feeding the elephants buns..but scarping the icing off first.. think I was 10... nice to meet up with family...
Does anyone know when Kerrin is getting married..not sure if she has mentioned a date...it must be near now her mum is coming over..
Next door come back Monday..I have there Tortoise here its 4 times bigger now..

Popping in for an update then I will read back.

All well but steroid just starting to drop off now. We will see where this leads to and whether the rituximab finally kicks in.

Great news!!!!

My patio has been done! It is decking but looks lovely. Would you believe after all these years of saying I want it done to OH he mentioned that he jet washed a patio for his Dad and I casually mentioed ' oh who built that then@...answer was his Dad and one of his Dads staff.

So now it has been sorted and finished, except a bit of sealing and Mr will probably never get round to doing it like everything in my life'.

Anyway got even more exciting news but cant tell you on here as it is public.

So hoping you are all well and enjoying life, Take care all.

Afternoon to all - is it me, or is it very warm? Maybe me, I am just melting for some reason :roll: :roll:

Hi Joan, so you have to go back to the Drs to get the result, do let us know and we will all come with you We don't want anyone to feel alone at all.

Mum n Dad popped in for coffee and croissants, they did not mention one word about the DNurse, or injections of insulin, so we are keeping quiet and seeing how the next couple of days pan out. In fact, they didn't say a lot really :? :? We decided not to bombard with questions.

Hi Toni the secret garden was amazing, so much hard work has gone into it, would love to see it in the flesh so to speak. So you did have a little spend at Pettifers, then went to use the facilities and have a drinkies at another GC.

We will get to the bottom of this issue of the wand and the broomstick.
You did have a good talk with Mr Fox fair Maiden Talking of old times long gone, of Wizards. Could it be Merlin, or Dumbledore?

The only wand that had super powers was the elder wand that I know of, the others did have amazing powers but the elder wand topped them all. But Harry broke it and threw it into the ravine - wait a minute, the ravine...........did it come to our ravine where the streams run through?

The broomstick must be able to fly without a puskin, as you say. Tomicat is very good at keeping things under his hat, a hat, do you think he knows about the sorting hat?

And then you were back at the door and the Fox was gone.

I will have to pop in through the door tonight and see who can tell me more.

I have a feeling some things will become clear on the 1st September.

Pepe had been looking at pictures of real voles, whilst under catnosis, he seems to be doing ok, no fainting.

We know nothing of the DN visits or if Dad is assisting, both were very quiet this morning and said little.

Pepe said Miss Sleek had been on the video, saying that there was a man wielding a weapon in the garden and they should all take cover. Pepe wanted to come over in his Jedi outfit, to fend off the tree man. :roll: Bless

Ah, I see you are warm too Barbara, I thought you might be as we are not a million miles apart, I think we get similar weather.

I think I have been to Painton zoo, it was a huge number of years ago. I don't blame you for taking the icing off the buns Belated Anniversary greetings.

I am sure the garden you visit does have a lot of helpers, it must take some upkeep. What a hard worker Sally is, to have turned a marsh into an oasis.

I am guessing that the wedding might be this week end? Kerrin's mum came over earlier in the week and then they were off to the New Forest after her tournaments. I don't remember a date being mentioned. Should we be getting the bus out?

So your neighbour is back Monday and the tortoise is 4 times the size? What have you fed it :!: :shock:

Hi Elizabeth, lovely to see you. glad to here things are not too bad, I assume the steroids are being reduced? Let's hope the Rituximab does what it is supposed to do and help as much as possible.

So you have new decking, very nice too. Did Dad and his worker do it and OH helped? Whatever way, I am sure you are very pleased indeed, after such a long wait. Don't worry about the little bits of finishing, leave post it notes all over, with hints

And more news, but rightly so to keep it from a public domain, it sounds exciting so I am happy for you.

You take care and enjoy reading back, it goes way into fantasy land, but don't worry, we haven't really lost the plot, well, not completely. :roll:

Right, I will leave lots of hugs to one and all. Carol, Kath, Kerrin, Mig, Charrisse, Christine et al.

Time for pills, time for T, getting ready for a nap. A wee bit jaded today. Rests needed.

XXXX Take care all, Aidan XX

Evening everyone from the New Forest.

The wedding is next Saturday so a week today. My mum arrived yesterday and today we hired electric bikes and went for a ride. It was lovely as the electric motor gave us a push up the hills. The afternoon was spent chilling. Back home tomorrow.

I think I might have seen Jericat whizzing over the trees. She is a minx on her broom!

Still coughing a bit. It seems to have got a bit worse since taking the methotrexate on Wednesday. Not taking anymore till after the wedding.

Oh dear is Tomicat still being secretive about the wand?

Evening all

I seemed to lose yesterday somehow before I knew it it was bedtime. need to go into the enchanted forest and claim some hours back I think. anyone else need some?. the cold and cough seem a lot better today not coughing as much. and nose not so runny. Mr T now has a cold too but not to bad just a runny nose and a sore throat his started the day after mine so hopefully it goes away a quick as mine seems to be.

Aiden I did have to move into the armchair on Thursday night or at least at 3.30am Friday morning but almost as soon as I got comfy in the armchair and wrapped the duvet around me I fell back to sleep until 7.30 am so didn't really lose much sleep. oh so you like my photo of me little people. have given the elephants some buns tonight as you say they love them. the sunburn was mr t's own fault really as went over to the beach while the daughters who were still only young were in the hotel pool and I was watching them. he was told not to fall asleep more than once but he ignored the advice. but he learnt his lesson. it's a week tomorrow when I go down to see the little people in Margate. so 8 days to go. ooh Raspberry swirl and greek yoghurt cake was delicious and well the was can I say about butterscotch buns heaven.

Joan yesterday was not a bad day but I felt yucky with my cold. but feeling a lot better today.

Barbara Hope you are recovering from you fall. yes I have been a bit busy this week but have had relaxing moments as well. and I am looking forward very much to seeing the GGC in just over a weeks time. and the rest of the family too. yes I will tell you of all the places we went to when I have some time to spare.

Kath I got some Covonia linctus and it has helped a lot the simple linctus don't work with me.

night night all and a good nights sleep to one and all
