not raining but not sunny either.. :roll:
My chest is really bad today...so sat up watching the elections..I know sad or what..
My son has to have the lump measured today...you couldn't make it up...but suppose they have to be careful..if it gets bigger then they operate straight a way..if not he waits
Christine I would love one of these wireless camera..how brilliant to see inside the nest box...I watched all the Spring watch.. 6 of them and one egg ..wounder if that one will hatch..I hope so
Wounder if Toady got her parcel...and has anyone seen Marianne around Will leave some apple crumble in the fridge..and cream...enjoy..xxxxx

Hey all .. so much for my pc triumph, it's paid me back by being a right pain the last couple of days in other ways.. never pays to get smug does it.. :roll: getting somewhere now, will be in tomorrow all being well.. thanks so much for the apple crumble barbara xx hope the badly behaved chests (barbara & TK) start clearing up, love to all & a good night's sleep.. chilly if here is anything to go by, so keep warm. toady x

Hello everyone busy since I last looked in this morning, sorry there are still coughs & chills aplenty (don't seem to catch too much, mind you I keep away from everyone 8)) As such I had better be the one mixing up the hot drinks & honey & lemons, & passing out the remedies.. hope the ones who have gone to bed early will get the benefit. Sorry there is no decent tv for you all, yes there is so much mediocre stuff on.. maybe a Harry Potter/Come Dine mix episode would be better, mind you there would probably be real toads in the hole :shock: (looks around nervously).

Glad you had a nice visit marrianne.. & that your kitchen is coming along won't it be nice when it's done. I have lost the thread of where you are at with your treatments, sorry :oops: but I'm glad you are feeling more chipper.. My pc is usually not too badly behaved it is mostly me interfering with it then not wanting to give up if I can't work something out. All good today touch wood.

TK I'm not surprised you feel a little down thinking of this week and with everything going on, I can't agree more about other people causing problems, when I think about these days, it always seems to be someone else putting me out but it's never the other way. Hope things are not too bad, weather doesn't sound all that brilliant, maybe it will be a bit damp for bank hol noise.

Kath I am so boring these days I bore myself.. if I have to write a letter or email I have no news to go in it, talk about stretching out the smallest bit of trivia to fill the space :roll: ought to try & do something startling one of these days just to shake people up, that or start inventing things. Can't get warm either, it is quite chilly, I reckon, hope it's only that & nothing else, fingers crossed.

Toni, hello I'm not germy, you can sit by me.. Lucy is doing so well to put some weight on under the circumstances, there are some good suggestions here.. it will all help her.. no garden for me these few days, too damp & cold, I've only just darted out today to move a few pots that were getting waterlogged.. huge snail in among my radishes, I've warned him off your 'cues'

Applerose I would love one of those birdycams.. my Dad would have too if they had been around then.. but I do hope they survive, nature is very harsh.. maybe they will.

Barbara your ceiling :shock: what a to do and thank heaven you were all ok! Maybe the 'ARP mouse' wanted you to 'put that light out' - that's one way of doing it!! We had a little earthquake here a few years ago which was quite a horrid feeling, everything shook I thought something was coming down, or a lorry had driven into something a few doors up, of course the cat ignored the whole thing, I thought they were meant to alert you beforehand. :roll: I don't think I want any pomatos or whatever they are I am very anti-meddling with things, GM & so on, not quite the same but anyway it doesn't appeal. If your OH buys too much cake smuggle it in here, all welcome must add those choc fingers to my next list. So hope your sons appt was good. xx If you are still over by the window I will pass the teapot your way..

Myabe the temperature will settle somewhere where it suits us all joan.. if there is such a thing, I go from cold to too hot with no happy medium.. hope you feel better..

*Waves mig off on holiday with a spotted hanky*

Thinking of bubbles & anyone missing. xx

Just spotted you Toady. I sometimes try to think of things I can do that would be newsworthy but then can't be bothered to do it. I don't often feel the cold but I can suddenly feel so hot that I think I will pass out. I've got a few pots sitting in a puddle but I think they'll be ok for now.

Hello Toni Barbara Toady Elizabeth Christine Marrianne and anyone else i missed.
i hope you all have a good bank holiday.
take care all
joan xx

Just a late call.. yes tired but of course I could just go to bed like a sensible person so it's my own fault will do better tomorrow, I say that every day & mean it, one day I'll surprise myself and actually turn over a new leaf.

Thanks for the tea barbara slippers eh, why not.. I'm wearing boots in the house, hardly 'summery'.. there are so few weeks when light shoes are suitable really. yet I buy way more summer stuff than winter, optimistic or just stupid. No idea about house snails :shock: what is drawing them in do you suppose.. surely not the damp, that's what they like & brings them all out in the garden.. I go out with a torch if I have to go down the path or garden in case I tread on one, otherwise it'll upset me. :? Forgot to say, about parcels.. if you mean the mousetrap it never arrived, I'll have to tell them; the other one, I had a refund in the end, it went all over the place & ended up neither here nor back to sender. Not sure if they will get it back either.. sorry your art class was a bit sniffy, maybe they had knew each other & had got cliquey the way these things can do.. it would be a good thing to take up though as you don't have to exert yourself too much.. unless you only wanted to paint views from the top of dramatic bits of the countryside (now who's rambling.. not in the country-walking sense either).

Applerose well done to your sister for following up on getting some photos scanned.. do you need a very good scanner to get a decent result from old b&w pics or would a fairly ordinary one do, I've wondered about it sometimes.. would be good as you could add details that you can't write on the photos & then everyone could have a copy. Hope you have a good Bank Hol break if you are off til Tues. Maybe get your painting done?

Hello joan, hope you've had a goodish day not too damp.. been a bit variable but not too bad. Hope Kath and TK are ok, and marrianne is having a rest.. bubbles too.. mig should be underway I expect.. Monday tomorrow then things back to normal on Tues.

Have been changing my eb*y passwords, reluctantly, I liked my passwords, I know you're supposed to keep changing them anyway but mine were good ones. Blah.

Will be here tomorrow I daresay xx
