bye for now take care xx

Ps toady I do not think this is the safest way to avoid the hairdresser problem lol xx

nice pics SK 👍

Sorry to hear about your migraine

Have a good night tc x

Hi all 👋 another long day, well it was going ok at the point the workers packed in at not too late an hour, except chap who was coming Monday for last knockings has turned into chap coming tomorrow instead 😣. Have also had to set to and pack two nosegay parcels 🤪 gosh will I be glad when it's the weekend. Then I will probably have a five minute high from things being over & done and drop like a stone.

So just a pitstop again at least it's a nice rest for everyone from long toad posts with terrible grammar 😂 hope everyone as well as poss today and glad Paul has not tested the wrong way frog, hope you are both confident it's a straightforward cold and you are keeping it at bay 🤞. Elfie is welcome to stay over if he doesn't want Daddy's germs either, sure we'll find him some pjs to borrow, maybe not the stripey ones they might clash with his legs 😂. Take care 😘 xx

Hope your cold is mild too Joan, no complaints with the workmen or the work thank you, touch wood it is a good job, not much to do now just some 'leftovers'. Hope you have a good night and a good Friday 😘 xx

Hi bosh I love the dramatic pic, that lady has definitely been taking her ideas from the Dwarf Lords 👍️💇(gifts to the HD? whatever next!). And that evil/medieval cat is terrific 😄. Do hope your cold and mxt combo abate and everyone else is ok, catch up soon (as I keep saying), take care 😊 xx

Hope you have had a better day SK 🤞 love the pics 😍🌷 those tulips are gorgeous. Wot's that plant top pic top right please. the tall with small purple flowers? Love to all have a good night 👋 xx

Lovely pic of Ollie Stuart glad he's doing ok. He does always look like he could tell us all a few things, very wise little face. Hope your plants settle in and you are doing ok with the brace 🤞 xx

Hope you have a good day off Jojo, good luck for hearing back from the dr I hope they did go and check into things properly for you. The workmen have been very good thanks & a relief to have good weather as some was outdoors, I was very lucky. Always very frustrating though that they're doing the work but I'm the one that's most tired 🙄. Hope you sleep well and not feeling too bad :) xx

Good luck with the results Carol glad it went well today particularly that you and Mr T managed to do some handy coinciding of appts 👍️ hope you do get a quiet day xx

Night all 😘 xx

Weather forecast looks much better here not total rain Joan. How are you feeling today any better? I won't catch Paul's cold I am looking after him but keeping my distance! We'll know if Sleek is still losing weight at her next appt it's not obvious to us yet just the vet's scales. Let's hope not ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo enjoy your two days off with the kids. I expect getting stuff ready for back to school on Monday while also trying to enjoy their last few days off too. Hope you can also spend some time with your feet up having this painful condition is tough when your family are young ((())) xxx

A very quick hello to Skinny Keef I do hope all is well with you? Is the migraine retreating now? I hope so. I did love the garden pics you posted yesterday I hope it's nice enough for you to sit out today that would do you good ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how is your cold? Are you feeling any better at all? Noooo! Not MTX as well as a cold 🙄 Bless you. No rush with poetry writing if you feel rough then rest you will recover quicker that way - more hot lemon

I wish I could do evil deeds but I am definitely a people pleaser myself 😕 Loved the pic though maybe I can think of something not so nice to do…..on the quiet🤫

I rather like Louisa too and hope she is just the start of girls joining the team. Good on her no no need to spoil her childhood with details of her future as a female…..

Erm why on earth would anyone want to give a monitory contribution to the HD?!!! Duh! Definitely don't waste a decent fruit salad on them either. Save it for the boys. They appreciate it.

Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart we have to get someone in every year for our hedges. Too high too much like hard work and we share our hedge with the neighbour so share the cost. It's about 250 and he is really tidy all cleared up once he's gone. Tell Ollie thanks for telling us he's ok bless him ((())) xxx

Well done Carol that's your bloods done I hope the results are nice and low. There is a test they do which gives the last 3 months of sugars (Reshmi would tell you what it is probably) that is probably what they are doing so they can see if yours is improving and fingers crossed 🤞 it is.

Good timing Mr T having his appt at the same hospital half an hour before. Bet you both enjoyed your meal out after that. Presumably a healthy one but also enjoyable.

I think we are also due some better weather here which is good about time! Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Toady

Oh oh there is a man coming back? hopefully not for too long. Snagging jobs yes to finish up? I knew you'd been doing nosegay parcels because Sleek had a small piece of tape (nice environmentally friendly stuff) attached to her chinny chin chin!

Elfie wants to stop over! Legs are flying everywhere as he gets is overnight case out

. He says he wants the same PJs they will cover up his tights (he feels the cold) much as he loves his Daddy he does not want his cold. He makes such a fuss if you remember last time when he caught one?

I am being kind and looking after Paul, but from a safe distance. He seems to be on the mend a bit maybe.

I suspect you are quite right you will get through this week, the sun will come out and you will be too exhausted to do more than collapse on the settee with Elfie, Sleek and a cuppa. Still that is actually probably a good plan to be fair. Good luck ((())) xxx

hi Toni

Mums ok I guess

MV has started erupting though 😱

Poem below 🙏

I’m feeling a bit better thanks

Bye for now tc xx

Vc poem called “Morning and night reflection” or “Vegan bacon without custard is no confection”
I am my own border
I’ve got my thoughts in perfect order
I feel a bit of anxiety, but no Demons are whispering tonight
If they show their faces again, I will give them such a fright
Please note that the Scarlet Pimple’s skin disease
Was noticeably worsened by eating all that cheese
The old BBs get angry and shout, then they wheeze
Online people, I wish most definitely do not wish to please
I wear my mask when you tried to infect me with your sneeze
Blossoms are toxically swaying in the breeze
Remember drinking pureed fruit salad and custard cures all allergies and disease

Hi frogmorton yeah I think I might need to do a bit of ironing today ready for the kids going back I don't mind ironing really I stick some music on and get on with it. I hope you are well and I hope you have a decent day.

Hi dachshund I'm not too bad today just a normal pain day low grade pain. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

Toady, I am reliably informed that is an aquilegia plant.

ok thanks Skinny Keef I will do xx
