Val's Cafe

evening everyone

Hope your day has been a good one I had my usual lunch with Mr T and then met my friend for coffee. She wasn’t too bad today. I think she has realised that I am not going to put up with her constant contradicting me, or when at knitting group butting into my conversations with others. So she is behaving a bit better .

Toni yes it was lunch with Mr T and coffee with friend after as usual. I didn’t do well with the cards at the MS as one of the members there has started bringing in ones she has Handmade but even she doesn’t sell many either. We have open morning at the church tomorrow so maybe we might get some visitors, and then maybe I might sell some then we will see.

Barbara yes 3 years for Snowie and time has gone so quickly it hardly seems that. I will post a photo that we have in a frame in our hallway it’s our memory of him as it also contains his collar.

Sorry to hear about the glaucoma not good.

Kath I agree loving all the emojis too and yes so much easier to post pictures.

2 photos before I go taken the day after youngest granddaughters 18th when we went to see eldest Gd new house.

Mr T with Graycie who wanted to sit on our laps all the time.

And Lillie who decided she wanted Great Grandad to take selfie of them with her sitting on his shoulders.

Well must go now before I fill up the page. 😀😀😀

Love and sparkles to you all

Daily Poem

Familiar Stranger

Kath

Familiar stranger, who are you,

what do you want of me?

I hear that voice and see those eyes,

tell me what they see.

Did we meet somewhere in a dream,

or maybe at a dance?

I hear that voice and see those eyes,

they hold me in a trance.

If I should wake and find you gone,

would I remember you?

Still hear that voice and see those eyes,

could you remember too?

💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

We didn't come online yesterday, we cut our hair instead. So we are two shorn lambs now.

Babs, I'm glad to hear your brother's chemo is over, so just the trial drugs now. Let's hope they are doing good things for him, and bad things for the &*%%$y cancer!!! 😕

Toni, many thanks for the lovely grub. Yes, Matron's Munchies is good. I put two more suggestions in the Aidans Afters thread, Matron's Morsels or Bubbles Bites, or Bubbles Bakes. Sleek looks so sweet with flowers in her fur,

mig, what a pain having people chattering during the show. Ignorant ^$*&". Lots of swearing in my post today. 😡 Hope you still enjoyed it though.

Carol, such a lovely photo of Lillie and her GGdad. It's actually a pleasure to post pictures now. 🤗

Take care everyone. XXXX

Daily Poem

Who Cares?

Kath

'Change the Record' Someone said

as voices spin inside my head.

'Can't you see what I'm trying to say?

I use the same words every day'.

But no one really listens to me

as I sit here in misery.

So smile politely 'I'm okay'.

Will someone notice me today?

Sightless people pass me by

Don't see those who sit and cry.

Tomorrow may not come at all,

But who cares?

Hello everyone, I am so fed up of hearing about the Coronavirus. But I expect we have to expect it. My poem sort of reflects this irritation. 😒

Joan, how are you and Sue getting on with Akscess? Are they as good as the Dial A Ride was?

Toni, that breakfast looks just scrumptious, thank you. Regarding my previous poem, dementia? No, It was originally meant to be about a secret love (imaginary). I think the idea of a poll is good, and getting the mods involved is brilliant.

I've just had a restart (windows updates) while halfway through this post, which I emptied of text and closing the forum. When I logged back in after restarting, my post was still her. MAGIC.

No new news about Anita yet, I'll let you know when there is. I've got to edit a few poems to keep the supply going. Until I have some ready, I'll have to choose some from online. 😮.

So noe I'm going to post a recipe in Aidans Afters, or whatever it is going to be called.

Kath that's the good side of this constant saving of our posts as we go along 🙂

I liked today's poem and initially thought it might be someone who was suffering from depression and being ignored.

Let's hope we hear only good news about Anita and she is able to have her lumpectomy ASAP ((()))

Yes a poll and vote sounds like a plan Aidan's afters will do for now.

Barbara how very clever you are (wasting vodka!) seriously a great idea no-one needs worry now I am sending the recipe to Kari she can't get any gel anywhere.

I wonder if maybe it's  a super low-dose chemo you bro is having. Such good news he can now eat something 🙂Aidan would be thrilled.  Christmas and now it's March! 

Joan I'm not getting notifications in my email, but Barbara will tell you what to do I'm sure 🤔

Right some cake:

A fairy cake!  I think Sleek brought it back from the ravine.  Turns out the cats had one or two parties here while we were away🐈️

Evening all
Hope everyone had a good day I have been a bit busy the last couple of days . I didn’t sell any cards at the open morning. Sunday we had a representative of the place where our church applies to to help us find a new pastor. The man preaching in the service and then spoke to us all in a meeting after the service for the church members and gave us hope that he could find us someone . So we shall see what happens. Mig the baby blanket is beautiful. Toni yes the GGDs are all very loving to great Nanny and great granddad And fun to be with, even GGS little girl Faye now calls me nanny. And really I have only seen Her a few times. Lillie went to a conference thing over the weekend to do with her enzyme problem, along with mum dad and her sisters 👯‍♀️ seems like they all enjoyed it very much especially Lillie was able to meet others with the same problem as her.

Kath yes that’s the good thing about the auto save that is now happening posts should not get lost in the big black void anymore 😀😀😂.

It’s time went for a Potter Around must keep the knee going until my first physio appointment on the 23 of April

Love to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
