As we are desperate to see the manatees, I've posted a group photo of these beautiful rare animals - so gorgeous. But no cake today.

Barbara, fancy pants are on your singing will never annoy us, we love it, and you. t4591

Joan. People throw wipes down the loo because it's easier than bagging them and binning them. Plus, most packs of wipes say FLUSHABLE on them. It isn't true. :x

Aidan, swear all you like, I have my fingers in my ears. :P

Afternoon to all

I seem to have lost my mojo, after loosing my posting yesterday, moments before I clicked submit.

I will keep it quite succinct, just in case the pc has another re boot issue.

It is still mighty cold in that wind. I think we have come off quite lightly with the snow, we had some, but not a deal and most of it has vanished now, apart from on the hills.

I hope everyone is staying safe and warm and the snow is going away.

It was a blizzard when we came out of the GC yesterday, totally white out. Prior to that we had had brilliant sunshine.

I know our two puskins were in trouble with Minerva, for overriding her orders on the no fly rule. The no fly is in order until tomorrow, as you said Toni.

Pepe and Sleek do want their own Hobbit house, as you guessed, but I think they will have to wait until they are in Hogwarts good books again. :roll: :roll:

Glad Lucy is loving her job, makes the world of difference and I am sure she is a great asset.

Miss Castle, I like it. Bless them eh. I hope your snow is going asap, take care if you have to go out.

I think we will be ready for the Manatee's, it is a huge pool, well, several pools, all linked. Lots of floating plants for them to eat and fresh water spouts, to drink from.

Thank you Kath, for posting the Hobbit house, the Lemon Cake, and the Manatee's, you saved the day, as we always need cake. I did help myself to a piece, after I had finished cussing the PC.

I hope all the drains are now sorted, I know not, why people assume that wipes like face cleansers, baby wipes, nappies etc, can all be flushed down the loo and think out of sight out of mind. That's ok until the whole system backs up :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:

I think Carol had a quieter day yesterday, name for the new little GGD, some shopping, bite to eat, then home and not going out until the temperatures go up a bit.
Thank you for the card book Carol, it arrived yesterday and the neighbour has already run off with it :shock: :shock: she loves cards and I said, you cannot get these anywhere else, so that was even more reason for her to pinch the book,

I hope you have not had much snow. It seems to have hit just about everywhere, with flights cancelled, roads shut................minus silly degrees in the wind.

Hope Mr T is doing ok on his Co Codamol, as Toni said, maybe some extra fruits, if there are any "problems". No, not too much sympathy, we are terrible if we are given sympathy. Men, I don't know. :roll: I don't count myself in that equation :?

I hope you are ok Joan, Sue and the doggies too. A quick run round the garden and then back in the warm, (not you, the doggies) Take care if you have to go out, otherwise stay nice and warm indoors and turn the heating up.

Yes, the snow stuck overnight Barbara, not a large amount though, thank goodness.

Sorry to hear that your GD is not doing well on the AB's, it is likely to be the metronidazole, it is often not well tolerated. Stomach and abdominal problems are it's main side effect. It is effective, but not pleasant, if it is too bad, then stop it and see the dentist or GP. ((())) for her to feel better asap.

Glad her GF is keeping you informed. Tell her Matron says stop taking it and review early in the week with Dentist and or GP. I know I cannot take it, just the thoughts.........

I have done plenty swearings now Kath, so you can take your fingers out of your ears :shock:

Love the picture of the Manatee's, they are so gentle.

No cake, right, let me go bake one immediately, before I loose this post too.

Lots of love to all who are in, out and around about. I will be back later, PC willing. Leaving hugs and sparkles to all. XXXX Aidan t4591 t4591 t115006 t115006

Hi to all - the evening has flown by, with the final of the men's tennis from Indian Wells, what a battle between Federa and Del Potro. Delpo won, in such a tight match, we are exhausted.

Not really done much else, some washing and drying. trying to keep my hands hydrated, four fingers have split now, so typing is not as easy at the moment.

We may be off to Skipton today, not sure..............see how we feel in the morning.

Pepe and Sleek have been rather quiet, muted chirrups, obviously sulking a little, after being told off by Minerva.

The Pool is nearly full, for the Manatee's, just adding salts and other minerals to the water, so that it is as near to perfect as possible. Silver has sprinkled some glitter into the water too, just to add a little magic.

Right, let me find something for breakfast. In the meantime, everyone take lots of care and keep warm and safe.

Love and Sparkles to all XX Aidan t4591 t115006

Oh just look at the luscious chocolate on those Brownies. I was a Brownie once (before Girl Guides) but definitely not edible.

I'm so glad the pools are ready for our Manatees, I can't wait. Found this song on YouTube "You and Me and a Manatee" (Manatee Song) - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geVZYCcAdBc
and I just knew you you'd love this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CL4qFVMDZg Manatees swimming and calling. t4591

Joan, no new snow and most of it has melted in the sun thank goodness. m0150

Thanks for the breakfast Aidan.

Afternoon to all, a bright day, chilly wind still, but all the snow has gone, hoorah. I hope that is the case for everyone else too, enough of the snow now..........

We didn't make it to Skipton, we are going tomorrow instead. So it was the GC for scones and coffee.

Hi Joan, I know you don't like cold, so you will be waiting for Spring to bloom. Our family in Swindon said they had had about 5 inches of snow, a lot more than we had. I hope it is going now and you are able to get out and about.

The neighbour on the end of our row, always comes round and clears any snow from our ramp, we never ask, we just hear him and in no time he has finished and gone, very kind of him. He does the rounds and clears everyone's decking etc.

Thank you for the links to the video's Kath, they are lovely, I never knew there was a song about Manatee's, we will all have to sing along. Have you ever seen such whiskers.............:)

I think the manatee's are arriving today, Minerva and Hermione are combining a special transportation spell, to make sure they arrive safely. Exciting.

You are welcome to the Breakfast, those brownies look lovely, I will have to try maybe one, or two.......with lots of sauce

Pepe and Sleek have been out on their broomsticks, high over Pendle, who is clear of all mists today. They have blown away some cobwebs and sent a message of apology to Minerva, for breaking their no fly curfew over the week end. :? :roll:

Well, it is pill time, again. :roll: :roll: so I will away and potter. I don't want to loose my posts again.

Sorry this is short, but I am having migraine aura after migraine aura ATM so can't see clearly a lot of the time.

I have also heard from Barbara by text and she asked me to let you all know that she has had a dreadful night with her vertigo/labyrynthitis (sp) sick all night bless her.

She dare not use the computer today for fear of making it worse.

Sorry....I can't wait to look at all the manatee stuff postsed by Kath and face splat that cake of Aidan's.

We were on the benches this morning.

Joan, we're glad the snow has gone too. It was lovely to hear the birds singing this morning.

Toni, I hope your migraines go away. I donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust today, quoting Lucy as my inspiration - she IS inspirational. t4591 t4591

Barbara, I hope you will soon be better too.

Hugs too, for everyone else. With all the recent icy blasts, our omnipresent aching bones and joints, seem to cause increasing levels of ouchies. :roll: :roll:



Thank you for the veggie sausages, mash and colcannon Kath, it looks delicious. Glad you managed a little rest on your benches today.
Isn't he a lovely baby Manatee, adorable.

Hi Joan, I am glad it is not quite as cold, it will be better for you to get about now. I think you had quite a lot more snow than we did. Good that it is nearly all gone.

We did make it to Skipton, had a little potter to Nero's, only about 50 yards from where we park up. They were pleased to see us and the coffee, toasties and chocolate twist, was very nice indeed.

After that, we didn't really linger, popped to Tesco, their buggies were out of action :roll: , so I sort of hovered around the middle, while B and Dad went in other directions. By the time we were done, I was almost horizontal :shock: When you just want to get out and everyone is faffing about at the check out.

We saw lots of little lambs in the fields, so Spring is here.

It has been nice not to be blown to pieces when you step outside.

I think Sleek has been keeping an eye on her Mum, making sure she is as ok as possible. Pepe had a quick chat with Slimkins while we were out and send his t4591

Pottered about a little when we arrived home, now I am going quite dozy (nothing new there then). I am looking forward to siesta today, just to rest a while.

hi to Carol, Christine, Kerrin, Elizabeth, DD, Toady, Mig and all

Best be making a cuppa, my blood sugar is low, so a few shortbread biccies will go down a treat.

Will catch up later. Everyone take lots of care. Let me find something tempting.

Sorry in advance this will be brief :oops:

Still having many migraine auras (some of you will remember the one I had solidly for 4 days about 8 years ago?? eyesight never cleared, but at least I am getting some time when I can see. Proved at eye hospital because when having an aura I am colour blind - not normally :shock:

Barbara of course I don't mind helping you! I think you were far worse than me and I am so very glad to read that you are getting MRI brought forwards.

I LOVE the Manatees baby and all the others too. I am so exited they are here They are so sweet and trusting and will be safe here. We will breed more

Joan thank you you are so kind I am fine really.

Aidan Pepe was over :shock: :shock: :shock: I had a wet ear-hole!! Did Miss Sleek tell him? :roll: I hope all is well with you both and Dad too?

Kath I read what you said about Lucy to her and she was so touched She can't believe an adult thinks that about her!

I hope Carol is ok and family and MR T is on the mend.

Off to be guys hope tomorrow is better.

Evening all

Hope everyone is as pain free as they can be with the very cold weather we have been having lately it really dose affect our joints. have just been to check on our lovelies a they new baby manatees are lovely. popped in the shed for some spare hours there are plenty in there if anyone wants them. Silver was making some bottles of sparkles for us all. It has been a bit chilly here today but nothing like it has been. hopefully it will warm up further now, after all it is supposed to be spring.
Gained 1/2 lb at slimming world today putting me 1/2lb outside my target so must lose that next week or else I will have to go back to paying the next week. have a very busy few days coming up tomorrow is my knitting group day, Thursday I am at the local MS group selling my beautiful charity cards from Flamingo Paperie, if anyone is interested in seeing what we have please look at my website at flamingopaperie.co.uk/web/carolreespartridge
this is followed up by our fortnightly meal with church friends.
Friday usual dinner out with Mr T then to meet my friend for coffee. And Saturday open morning at the church with the cards again. Hope I manage to sell some this time round. so I will be a busy little bee.

Toni I don't know either why they muck up the DLA payments like they do. with Lille they told my GD that now she is at school she doesn't need it anymore, as my Gd said just because she is at school dose not mean she no longer has the PKU, I still have to buy special foods just for her. but I think she said she has now been granted it for the next three years this time.
I am beginning to start feeling like a counsellor too lately. I suppose with Lucy not claiming the DLA anymore at least she doesn't have to go through all the hassle of claiming each year. Mr T seems to be ok on the co-codamols at the moment, no need for extra fruits or prunes etc.. He says the neck seems to be improving slowly. His back pains also seem to have improved a bit with the co-codamols but he has a MRI tomorrow for that to see what the problem is. we had a very light dusting of snow last Friday and Saturday but it did not settle for long all gone now. we need more of this now m0150 m0150 m0150 .

Joan The new baby is due mid August. yes I do have a large family at least i am not as bad as my aunt yet who has 4 children 19 grandchildren 15 great grandchildren with another on the way yet to be born. hope you and Sue have lost all your snow now and can get out on the scooters again.

Barbara My GGDs have a double barrelled surname to go with it too. Yes when Mr T and I change our surname last year it took me ages to remember to use both names. I'm used to it now. Don't worry about the copy and Paste Mr T still spells Lillies name wrong sometimes and she is 6 don't know how he is going to cope with three of them. me I just get all their names mixed up. Sorry you GD is suffering with such pain hope she is feeling better soon.

Aidan So you have lost your post into the black void again its so annoying no wonder you were swearing at the pc honestly I think they have minds of their own sometimes. Oh dear the Pusskins have been naughty breaking the no fly rule hope Minerva gave them a suitable punishment naughty Pusskins. Glad you got the card book but your neighbour has run off with it oh dear did you get a chance to actually look through it first. hope she likes them enough to perhaps order some. We had a little dusting of snow Saturday and Sunday but all gone by Monday. but it was still bitterly cold.
Mr T has had no problems with the co -codamols and they are easing the pains slowly. no no definitely not too much sympathy. and of course you are excluded from that and rightly so. :?

Hi to all, a very frosty night here. tcold

Hi Barbara, labyrithitis is horrid, sometimes called mennieres / vertigo, an imbalance of the fluid in your inner ear. It affects people differently, many cannot even get their head off the pillow, without the whole world spinning and nausea etc. Stemetil is the same as prochlorperazine, just generic and pharmaceutical names. It is certainly the drug of choice and usually works quite well.

I am glad you are a bit better today and that they are fast tracking the MRI scan.

Happy to send out hugs and sparkles, I want everyone to be ok and it is upsetting to hear when friends are poorly. t2507

No, I won't let the side down if I can help it, with a supply of goodies, although chips and egg is a national favourite. Kath kindly adds to the lovely foods as well.

The little manatee is gorgeous, the parents are all fine and the babies are doing well. The specialist vets have been in to check them over, they are allowed into the pool, to make sure all is well.

Don't blame you for not staring at the PC screen for too long, far too many blue light rays, that our brains interpret to keep us awake. We don't notice them, until they are reduced, then your eyes feel a lot better.

Hi Toni don't worry about being brief. Good that you are having periods of clearer vision, I wish it would clear completely. We don't want you colour blind at any time.

All the manatee's are just fine, the pools are perfect for them, they have deep and shallow areas, heated to the ideal temperatures. All their favourite grasses, water plants, etc, are in plentiful supply.

Yes, Sleek did mention that there were poorly peeples in her house and Mum was not well. Needless to say he was up and off with his Drs bag, so sorry for the wet ear :roll: :roll:
We are ok, Dad too, more forgetful, but, we are keeping things as normal as possible. His GP rang, about blood results and wants to see him. Now B needs to be a chaparone really, as he will not remember what the GP tells him otherwise.

His new blinds are being fitted today, so he will be a happy bunny.

I hope that today is better for you too. Pepe might be over in the night to check temperatures etc. Just to warn you in advance.

Hi Carol, I wondered where Silver was, making new bottles of sparkles for us, he is a star, we need them in large amounts at the moment t115006 t115006 I will gather a few spare hours later, they will come in handy.

I am sure you will loose 1/2 lb in no time, so no charges will be raised, you have and continue, to do so well.

You have certainly got a busy few days ahead. Knitting, Out with Mr T, two lots of card selling venues, oh, coffee, nearly forgot that. Another meal out with Church.........phew, you will need those hours from the shed.

Good to hear that Mr T is feeling better with his pain relief. They will help with his back pain too.

I see he has an MRI today, I hope that goes smoothly.

I did have a quick look at the card book, then it was "borrowed". I will be asking for it back, she is away at the moment, house sitting for her in laws.

A quiet evening here, had a siesta which was very welcome, just to ease the bones a little.

Supper was a melange, onion bhaji, veggie samosas, chicken tika pieces and garlic bread. Wow, does the house smell a treat :shock: :shock: It was very nice, all from the deli at Tesco's. I think the windows will be opened in the morning, no matter how chilly it is, we need a freshen up.

Retinopathy clinic this afternoon, at the local new hospital, only a teeny one, two wards and outpatients, very nice, never anyone there.

All our other lovelies are fine, Blush has a new mate and is more than happy, they are off in the bamboo somewhere. The meerkats are not coming out of their burrows until we move away from the arctic :roll:
Lambs, lamas, Tapirs, Gibbons, Sloths, piggies, Giraffes, seals, penguins, emu's, elephants, Okapi, warthogs and all................oh and the spid--s too, are all well.

I had better potter a little, I am setting like a plaster cast.

Popped in for some of that lovely breakfast thanks Aidan

I woke at 05:22 to a migraine aura, but only one as far as I know in the night. The two previous have contained several :roll:

Mind you I did have wet ears :?

Absolutely B must the Drs with Dad for any results. Even I don't go on my own if I can help it. I hope his blinds look lovely I'm sure they will.

I have been to see the Manatees - the baby is adorable!! I love him! Johnny said he thinks it is a 'he'.

Fingers crossed for retinopathy clinic :?

Barbara I was able to post honestly! You were far worse than me. I have had similar bouts to yours but was told mine was benign something vertigo. Stemetil is what I was given. My friend gets it from the IPAD.


Carol I am very pleased to hear Mr T is doing ok on his meds. Is the MRI on both neck and back?

Did you say your weight is 1/2lb out?!! You will soon have that shifted knowing you

Thank you for the sparkles Good idea Silver making us up bottles to take with us.

What makes 'them' think your GGD doesn't have PKU now she's at school :roll: Yes we were glad for Lucy to be off PIP although I suspect she could still get a little with the epilepsy and on-going bone issues she found it too stressful.

Morning to Joan I hope all is well with you all. My migraines are diminishing I think/hope thank you

Off to see a friend today it's her birthday.

Love to everyone I hope I didn't miss anyone :oops:

Afternoon to all, a reasonably pleasant day here. Sunshine this morning. Is it Spring, or is the beast from the east set to return at Easter time?

Hi Toni, I hope that was the last of the Aura's and your migraine starts to improve. Sorry about the wet ears, Pepe insisted that he came over and checked all vital signs :roll: :roll: Plus Miss Sleek wanted to show him in her wardrobe, now that it is all tidy.

Dad has new blinds, he rang to say they had been fitted and we saw them on the way to the hospital for my retina imaging. I think B is just going to say "I am coming in with you" tomorrow, when Dad sees the GP. I will go and hide in the T room

The Manatees are lovely, they seem very settled and have been checked out by the super vets, who are allowed to go into the water with them. All seems ok. Bless, the little ones are so cute, well, the others are too.

I was in and out of the clinic in about 5 minutes. As soon as I got to sitting down, he called me in, did eye test, then said I don't think you need the drops to dilate your pupils, they are already dilated :shock: :shock: I said, it is probably the mountain of pills I take. Anyway, no drops, so images taken, wait for results and off we went, back home all within 20 minutes.

I am sure Lucy would qualify for PIP, but, it is one of the most stressful things and totally understand how she feels. It is just a matter of time before I have to change over to PIP, from DLA. They don't take into account what is wrong with you, it is how it affects your daily living. How can your disability have no bearing on that? Anyway, I will be off on one if I start...........so I will shut up.

I hope you managed to get to see your friend today

Hi Joan, you still have snow laying on the ground, no, that is not good for scooters to travel on. I hope it melts as fast as possible. We are ok, keep going, keep pottering, as you have to do. Apart from our quick trip out to the hospital, we have had an at home day today.

Hi Kath, oh, you had a little paddle with the manatee's, they are lovely, they love water lettuce.

You are officially an adult, that's good , but young at heart, which is equally as good

Thank you for the lovely cake, it looks amazing and I might have to take a couple of pieces. Saves me baking this afternoon

I hope you are feeling better Barbara and the stemetil is working for you. Leaving hugs ((()))

Hi to Carol, hope Mr T went on ok with the MRI, a braver man than I, you cannot get me within a hundred yards of the department, let alone, in the scanner. Some people nod off :shock: :shock: :shock: not a hope of that happening.

Hi to Kerrin, Christine, Mig toady DD Charrisse Elizabeth and all.

Evening to you all

been a nice day here today temperature has picked up a bit but it is supposed to be cold again running up to Easter. Enjoyed me knitting group today my friend came again it looks like she will always come when she can like I do.


Aidan yes our Silver was very busy making the bottle of Sparkles in the shed. well I am hoping the 1/2 lb will come off I have been good Today. and will have to make good choices tomorrow at our church meal out. so keeping my fingers crossed for next week because I will not be able to go the next week as I will be going away for a few days with Mr T in Edinburgh. On the Tuesday after the bank holiday, so it will be harder to keep track of what I am eating.
Card day also tomorrow afternoon so a busy day so will probably need the extra hours to cope. co-codamols are working well at the moment. MRI went ok now just to wait for results. yes siestas very important when bones are complaining. Supper sounds super hope it tasted as nice as it smelt. hope the retinopathy went well.
glad all the lovelies are well ooh Blush has a new mate. and the Spid**s are all well our lovelies are growing all the time. we don't want you setting so off you potter.

Toni The MRI is for the back only the neck is a pulled muscle. Trying to be good so I do lose this week because I will not be able to go to the one after Easter. I have no Idea why they imagine that Lillie's PKU will suddenly disappear because she is at school Think it because most of them don't know what it is and its effects. and don't blame Lucy for not bothering because it is a lot of fuss.

Joan thank you scan went ok now just wait for the results.

Kath that pineapple upside down cake tasted good.

Barbara If I have lost next week I will not have to pay at SW so keeping my fingers crossed. yes a very busy bee. Mr T's appt went ok now to wait for results. I occasionally forget the double barrelled name but not often now.

Ok Time for a potter to get the joints moving before bed time

love and sparkles to all t4591 t4591 t115006 t115006

Hi to one and all - some rain here tonight, not used to that, after the snow and ice of recent weeks.

Hi Barbara Thank you hun, you will make me blush :oops: I do try though.
We are all hindered in day to day living, in many ways, but we carry on, best we can, some days are fair, some are just forgettable and very painful. We share and care

We will have a good look at Dads new blinds this morning when we pick him up to take him to the Drs. He sounded pleased, on the phone.
B has just to get in with him to see the GP, that will be interesting........

I glanced at the images of my retina, on the mans computer, from what I could see, there didn't seem to be any glaring areas of retinopathy, but I will get the results in the post in a week or so.

It was SO quiet at our little hospital, a far cry from Blackburn. There was me, Bill and one other lady...............otherwise it was like the Marie Celeste that's how I like appointments, in, through, done, bye..................

I will be off to the T room this morning to wait for Dad and B. I will have time for at least one strong americano.

I hope you feel better each day, we don't want you drunk, no visiting the shed this week, Matron's orders. The Stemetil do help.



Mum and Baby manatee, enjoying their new sanctuary. I think we have at least 10, so far..........

So, the face to face interview for your PIP is next Wed. :shock: I will send Pepe and Sleek along, as I am seeing my Consultant Cardio. I have cancelled twice now and it is a year since I saw him. I normally go every 6 months :? :?

Pepe will have his wand ready and Silver will be there with sparkles a plenty. Sleek will make sure that everything is carried out correctly. Make sure you mention all aids and adaptations you have and how you are affected in day to day and the help that you need at all times. I will be thinking of you, that's for certain. t115006

Hi to Mr B, any chips on the menu this week

Hi Carol, it is warmer than last night. I keep reading about the weather over Easter time, but when you see the forecast, it looks kind of normal for the time of year, sunshine, showers, not howling gales and snow.

Glad you enjoyed your knitting group and that your friend came along too, which is very good.

I am sure the sparkles will be needed over the coming week, with various appointments and DWP assessments........never a dull moment in our cafe.

I know you will be good at making the right choices when you are out at the Church dinner. I would be hopeless, there has to be chips :roll: :roll: as a side dish.

Off to Edingburgh with Mr T, lovely, you will enjoy that. A long way, are you going on the train / plane / automobile?

I hope you sell some more cards today. t115006 They are all lovely and well worth the money. You can pay up to £5 or more in some shops, for a good card.

Glad the MRI went ok.

Supper did taste very good, even if the house wreaked of garlic :shock: :shock: I think we are back to fresh air again now.

Time for a potter, won't be long

I hope you are feeling better Toni, Pepe will be over again tonight. He has pestered Hernione to transport him over when we are all asleep. She doesn't want him night flying on his own. Expect a wet ear. :shock: :roll: There might be gliding and rug clicking as well.

Hi to Kerrin, Christine, Elizabeth, Mig, Toady, Charrisse, DD and all

I had better fuss a little, whilst keeping an eye on the tennis from Miami.

Everyone take lots of care. Love and Sparkles t4591 t115006 XX Aidan
