Have a good night too Jojo hope parents' evening was ok & the rest of your day off xx

..Tea anytime SK 😉☕️

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) the weather man said yesterday it will be rain on Friday and the weekend. We never have the sun for long do we. Have a good day no I haven’t got any pebbles. Sue had tubs of Rhododendrons and they just had soil. I have a delivery coming today it could be the soil and the Acer. It hasn’t said yet.

Toni (()) sorry about your back (()) thank you for the message sorry if it’s a problem doing it. Have a good day.

Jojo (()) have a good day you do well.

Reshmi (()) how are you love to your mum (())

Stuart (()) is it a bad thing having fur balls I don’t know anything about cats my friend has a cat that does have them but not very often. Sorry about your ankle that must be painful (()) love to your mum (())

Skinny Keef (()) sorry about your mum (()) are you having better nights. Love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (())

Thanks dachshund I hope you have a great day too I hope you are well.

took my MTX last nite last thing before bed. Maybe why I slept, but tbh, it was because i forgot to take it during the day. Not feeling so great today ☹️

In fact i think i’m having a bit of a feeling sorry for myself day and why do I have to have this stoopid illness day. Doesn’t happen very often but today i just wanna be curled up with duvet and not do anything. I have been out to bunker but everything just sounds too loud and annoying today. ☹️☹️

thanks Jojo.

Nah last nite was a one off Dachshund. Night before was up at stupid o’clock watching MotoGP on tv.

Anda just dragged me out to the new cafe at the end of our alley for lunch. Managed a (migraine free) luxury mince pie and 2 sips of coffee before saying I wanted to go back to laying down. Now in giant bean bag in bunker listening to music.

hi again Toni

How are you?

Paan is a sweet betel leaf preparation by the way for those who don’t know

Rather warm here today

LA kicked the chocolate bar machine following the example of one of the little boy mafia members

His daddy quite rightly told him off

He said, “ Chocolate should be revered, cabbage - vending machines and cabbage - eaters like Toni and Mima, you can kick them unreservedly”

Ok the last bit is not strictly true

More later

Ablutions time

👋 toady Joan SK Jojo xx

Bye for now all tc xx

Hi folks 👋 funny old day 😑 had a disturbed night courtesy of some unspecified neighbours and a disturbed morning thanks to a strange episode with a mysterious utilities van parked outside, will leave that story pending any further developments but it's a bit like the Twilight Zone here today 😬.

Hi to frog and hope having a lovely day 👋 sunny here and fitted a bit of gardening in between interruptions 👍️ xx

Afternoon Joan, no we don't get a nice run of sunshine, fine here til Friday and at least it doesn't look like absolute buckets of rain after, will have to get the most out of what there is 🤞. Hope your delivery turned up and it was the right things 😊 I love rhododendrons I don't know much about them though. Are they the ones that are fussy about soil & conditions or is that hydrangea I'm thinking of 🤔. Nothing much going on here today trying to have a quiet afternoon now ☕️ love to you & the dogs, how is Charlie's laptop now? xx

Quick hi to bosh I am not entirely running on all cylinders, Hope you felt better for a night's sleep yourself, mine was not exactly like an ad for hot milky drinks 🤨 trying to catch up now. It is indeed warm now hope the cherry blossom tree did not follow you home 😱 and hope no more cabbages or parts thereof in your path if you went out. Oh I love chocolate bar machines 😍 except I'm thinking of the old days a nice bar of fruit & nut for sixpence, not like that now I expect - can't remember how much things were out of machine drinks etc when I last looked at the hospital as I haven't used them since covid, probably not much change from the national gdp for a coffee. No kicking the machines, kiddies, quite right Bill (nearly wrote licking, freudian lorenzo based slip). Have a good evening hope everyone well :) xx nice cake btw 😊 a slice of that would go down nicely right about now

Sorry your day is a bit patchy SK even after some reasonable kip, better tomorrow I hope 🤞 yep stoopid illness indeed, but you do well if you don't have that many of those days it's only human. Hope your afternoon is restful xx

Jojo how brilliant that your kids are doing well at school 👍️😊 what do they like, are they arty at all or mathsy etc. Hope you have a nice evening the weather is being kind for a change even though it does make you want to do all your chores at once while you can 😬 xx

Take care Stuart, that does not sound good about poor Ollie I hope the vet can give you an idea what's going on. Op definitely not a good idea at the moment 😔 all the best xx

Don’t worry these things happen sometimes with kids

thanks Jojo I hope you slept well too tc xx

Hi toady yeah they both like maths but they pretty good at most subjects I've been to work this evening I had Tuesday off instead of tonight so I could go to the kids parents evening. I hope you are well and I hope you have had a good day.

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) Charlie just says my grandson will sort it out. Brenda coming to see me this afternoon. She got back from Cyprus on Tuesday. Yes the Rhododendron has different soil. The Acer came yesterday they are still all in their pots I’m waiting for the soil to come. Sorry about your neighbours I hope the rest of your day is better. Pepper and Lexi are having a bath this afternoon.

Jojo (()) that was good you could go to the parents evening. That’s good they are doing so well. Have a good day

Reshmi (()) have a good day you are doing well. Love to your mum (())

Stuart (()) how is Ollie today. Love to your mum (())

Skinny Keef (()) that’s good you had a good night. Love to Loanda (()) and Sucre (())
