Val's Cafe

Feel better soon bosh 🤞😘 xx

3am tea 😁

Got sore head so got up before my blood pressure makes it worse. Will snooze in beanbag in bunker.

Sore throat still hanging on. My 2 often have lurgie which I blame on Sucré being ar nursery, but until now I never got them. Thanks MTX.

Morning Joan How are you? is it trigger finger you've got? My MIL used to get that and steroid injections always helped her a lot. Thanks for asking I am trying to rest the shoulder as much as I can without stopping everything i do. Not anywhere near as bad as when I went on holiday. Have a good day ((())) xxx

Jojo is off on her hols!! How fabulous. Were are you off to and when? Will you be able to post - no pressure you can tell us all about it on your return. Some people won't post on Social media while they are away, but would rather wait till they get home. I hope you feel better today ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how are you? Coping ok with the ookey the so ookey hay-fever season? What antihistamine do you prefer if piriteze dries your skin? I will actively watch for this myself now and feed back to you) I see you had a possible vaccine reaction are you feeling ok now? If not best rest up today your stomach too I noticed you haven't been on the rota for a while so yes probably it is your shift😒

Oh Reshmi I adore your poem about your dear Mum the last 4 lines especially I do hope you have read it to her so she knows just how very very much she is valued and loved by you❤️

Don't worry too much if you're too unwell to post a line will do sending some ((())) xxxand another box of these 🤧tissues.

Morning Toady

I hardly got outside myself yesterday - what did I do? Please tell me!! I know I emptied out all the bedding towels T towels spare toiletries from teh motorhome ready for it to have it's treatment in the boot (garage? explain that name I haven't got car in there!) today.

I helped the Foster Dads make easter bonnets for the children for nursery.

I did hoover round and clear up some mole hills too and study my seeds a lot, but surely that wasn't a whole day?

It's 'Ron biggis' compost mine peat free sounds as bad as the Piddle stuff is Toad. I just have to keep on top of it. I've been adding extra fertilizer too it and would like to add some leaf mould like Monty did last night (no I am not really up to date but Paul was late home so watched it out of sequence!) if i knew where it was. I suspect Paul has binned it.

A compromise is indeed the answer one day (she says) we will have so much energy we will be super-gardeners. Our houses will keep themselves clean, someone else will cook our meals and bring them to us. Then we will be like Monty and Carol and Sarah R. Until then it's compromise.

Little Vi has a big sister now to keep her company! Oh an idea💡 Send Sleek round to the lady's house with her phone she can video for you! How about that?! That should do it😊

take care Toady ((())) xxx

Gosh Skinny keef do rest up and look after yourself that's you, Jojo and Bosh!!! Must be a computer virus. Stuart, Toady and Carom and me must all mask up when we come into the cafe!!!

hi Toni

How are you?

Mums ok at the moment 👍
im feeling decidedly ookey

Yes I’m resting 🙏

Thanks so much about the poem

Bye for now Toni tc xx

👋Thanks Joan 🤗

Bye for now all tc xx

Hi

Ollie is fine now catching up on sleep now the gasmen have stopped drilling. My ankle will hopeful get sorted on the 8th of the month seeing a guy with a long needle & some Lindocane. Sat in greenhouse with my foot up.😎

Hi toady Joan SK and everyone

How are you all?

I’m feeling a bit less ookey after paracetamol and sleep

Stomach issue seems to have gone 👍

But I’m still being careful with food of course

👋 Toni

Mum had low bs in early morning unfortunately

EF are going to Dubai on Monday - not a joke

My goodness I do hope they will be ok, my sis and BR have very fair complexions, so hopefully with lots of sunblock they’ll be ok, I hope they’ve packed a lot of salmon in their luggage otherwise BR won’t be happy lol

I’m back on fb mainly because of one good friend who may have vanished due to a glitch but I’m being very careful of course

BR has eczema too of course so I do hope he’ll be ok in such a hot country

It’s not the hay fever that’s bothering me so much right now Toni

Mum liked the poem but said lots of it wasn’t factual, like only being able to afford wooden bangles lol, but I was glad that she like it really

She really was a teacher in India before she got married and she did a Masters in English Literature, but there was the family pressure to marry of course, which was very much part of her culture in those days, she’s much cleverer than my dad, but we don’t say that too loudly around here🤐
I read that you helped the foster dads make Easter bonnets for the nursery kids, that sounds like fun, I’m so bad at anything arts and crafty unfortunately, but that’s definitely one of your superpowers 👍👍

Have a good afternoon Toni and thanks for the tissues tc xx

👋Have a good afternoon all tc xx
ps someone is brewing up mxt in advance 🤢🤢

Hi toady thanks yeah I've complety lost my voice today has been a very quiet one just chilled out ready for a busy one tomorrow. I'm sure I will fight it by my holiday we've never stayed at whitley Bay hopefully it's a good week weather wise. I hope you are well and I hope you had a gd day.

hi toady of the seaweed / pond liquid energy drink (I might not try that one lol)

How are you?

Glad you liked the book pic and the potrayal of your fantasy self lol

Thanks about mum 🤗

Yes she has been very busy and as you said once I think, she’s too independent and very rarely accepts help unfortunately

But the cousin’s daughter staying here overnight was a bit much I think

I mean if people who keep in touch then visit it’s one thing, also my cousin is a very nice person but we’re all aware when someone is on strong immunosuppressants like my mum of “adding germs to the household” as it were, is never a good idea, well at least that’s over now

She used to eat scones for breakfast every day a few years ago, the young woman I mean, oh dear, someone find me a hotline to the gi joe physio 😂😂

Maybe she has eaten the golden scone - that’s why we can’t find it lol

Yes I would also prefer Whitley Bay but there’s no accounting for taste haha

Thanks about fb - I’ve decided if someone seems even 1% ookey I will block 👍

And as Toni said peri menopause can’t go on forever- it just feels like it 🤢🤢

My dad using cats nap to declare ablutions! Oh no that would never happen haha

Thanks - it really was a terrible gastric situation yesterday, it’s not been that bad a long while, maybe partly pneumococcal vaccine side effects, I don’t know

But yes good that’s it’s gone, indeed 👍

It seems that this bad cold type thing whatever it’s origin gets worse in the evening and night I think

So while the kettle is steaming- thanks toady

My nose is streaming basically lol

And a bit of a congested throat too

But hopefully tomorrow will be better of course

And I’ve ordered some no added sugar choccie for us here at the cafe

But we can only partake when the stomach problem has 100% left the country and gone to Abu Dhabi or something like that if it can get a gastric visa .

Have a good evening toady Jojo and everyone tc xx

that’s great Jojo

Good night tc xx
