    Hi all 👋 sun is shining, shopping been & gone, so far so good 😊

    Garden for me today I hope frog 🤞 I am not so ahead of things as I'd like but I am going to have to not stress this year 👍️. Chuck in a few more well-behaved things for colour etc and not try to tackle any awkward customers growing-wise. Yes I was horrified for Stuart 😕 I have yet to find if it will be a bumper snail year for me but avoidance is the only answer I think, tough chewy plants they don't like or the herby off-putting side of things. Have added a sneaky little link ⬅️ in for you, I haven't tried these so it's not really advertizing hopefully 😬. How is your compost? Next stop for me I must get on with the bench I have nowhere to sit outdoors 😬. Thank you btw yes I am more myself this week touch wood, mainly because I was for once so lucky with timing & the weather that I had a so much easier ride than I expected, and time in hand. I was primed for unforeseen delays etc because you have to be, it made all the difference. Hope things going ok with you and everyone well at the mo. 😘 xx

    Hello Joan, one of my parcels was delivered today thank you 👍️ the other is going abroad so will be longer. My shopping was all there today bar a couple of uninimportant things. I ordered mini frozen eclairs I can defrost them as I go. Hope the weather is suiting you it will go up to 24 in the week 😮 it's nice that there is a run of nice days so you don't have to do all your dry weather jobs all at once. It looks ok after Saturday too for Charlie maybe just the odd drop of rain. Have a good day 😘 xx

    Twelveses for me I think so will do a Part 2 👋 love to everyone, back later xx

    edit, just refreshed and spotted your post Jojo, so sorry about your appt 😕 yes I would want to rant you have to get these things off your chest, what sort of messages did they say they'd sent, emails/texts? Very annoying for you that you have to wait now, I hope they find you something convenient 🤞 xx

    Hi toady they said they sent 2 text messages which I never received and a letter apparently. Im just struggling to get by at the moment I'm hardly sleeping which is making me feel grumpy and the pain in my feet and knees are doing my head in. I hope you are well and I hope you have a good day.

    Hi frogmorton yeah the kids went to school ok this morning my son wasn't looking forward to swimming but he went. I'm 37 years old so maybe a bit young for premenopausal. I tried going to the doctors about it last year because I was getting hot flashes and the doctor just basically said your too young. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

    Hi Toni

    Good afternoon

    Yes Good old SK indeed 👍

    BR as a grandfather - worrying indeed haha - but yes a kind one ❤️

    yes a flattening diet - ersatz could be quite lucrative- I’ve got it that’s how BR is earning serious moolah

    Yes we may well need to start a page for our little heroine Louisa 👍

    Yes bills diet is only for the very young - or the very silly 🍔

    You know someone else once told me about honey, an ex-colleague, but he was an odd kind of person. He had many strange convictions like not taking paracetamol because he thought it was poison and things like that, so I just nodded politely but when SK recommended it I took notice and it worked really well indeed

    What are your temperatures like? It’s about 20 degrees here but thank goodness no cousins daughters are staying here so I can inhabit it and not feel like a lamb going to the slaughter and unlike bill I’ve left excess coffee alone - well any coffee really - and am drinking lots of water.

    Ok bye for Toni tc xx

    hi toady

    How are you today?

    Glad you valued Gandalf and nice quotation

    Don’t worry I remember very little about the order of literature read while I was at school at least pre-GCSE I remember watching the S Delaney play at school and of course reading the play I liked reading but wasn’t sure about three film version that we watched but never mind, yes Lord of the flies that was terrifying. I also Remember once writing a really good essay on Macbeth around GCSE time just a coursework thing, at least I thought it was really good I can’t quite remember of the teacher was suitably impressed haha

    yes chocolate, it is difficult to resist isn’t it? I hope you get the choccies that you ordered

    I was just looking at the custard quotes thanks for thinking of that and there wasn’t anything specific which caught my eye, but I did find an Iris Murdoch quotation, which was ‘One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats’ which I thought might be a good quotation for yourself👍

    I also like the small treats, but to be honest Sometimes the treats are not that small due to fatigue, but you know what I mean, it was a nice quote for you I think because as you have a lot of self - control with the sweet stuff

    My goodness what muggy nasty weather - in my opinion anyway

    👋good night toady Toni Joan Jojo SK and S knee tc xx

    Night bosh, I do indeed have choc Easter eggs 👍️ & they will as you say be eked out, they are only little anyway. I don't think it's entirely self-control I have because I certainly don't for some things 😬 discipline, early bedtimes staying offline etc, but control re food is built in I think - partly I probably just don't want that much of anything at one sitting. I once read something when young that impressed me v. much at the time, about being 'good' and how he (the author) believed that as he didn't have the urge to be a thief for example, it would be credit where it wasn't due to call that virtuous - compared to someone that did and had to fight it. I know that you do things like only have part of something or throw the rest out so you have your own methods 👍️. I do agree with the Iris Murdoch quote thank you, I do like the small cheer-you-up things, I don't think spending lots of money etc would do anything for me compared to the little, fun stuff. Lord of the Flies, yes I could have definitely have been the happier for not reading that 😕 it surprises me still what books they think you are 'ready' for at school when tbh there is a very long list of books I'm not ready for now, or will be. Just don't need the nasty effect they leave. I'm sure your Macbeth essay was indeed very good 😀 given your skills. Because I could spell etc I got labelled good at English but looking back my actual grasp of the ideas in literature etc was dire. Hope the weather isn't too bad for you it's not nice for yourself this week I know but will be better after that it looks like. At least you can nomadically go from room to room according to what's best, as you say 😬👍️. Have a good Tues, hope your mum is ok :) xx

    So sorry you're having a low spell Jojo 😟 I think you are doing amazingly well to manage work & family. It's easy to say hang on things will improve they did for me and I couldn't imagine it then, but at the time it is really hard to see daylight, I hope you do see some helpful people soon it can make such a difference ✌️. Hope you get some sleep take care xx

    Love to all, goodnight to Stuart SK & Carol, sleep well all 😘 xx
