Hi toady and Toni
how are you both tonight?
Bit of an ookey day really with totm and nasty temperatures
I did however compose a little ditty,
It was inspired by toady’s sartorial dilemma,
sorry about italics - voice control has gone mad lol👋good night toady Toni Joan Jojo SK and S knee tc xx
Vc poem called “toady and Spock’s difficult decision” or “ How to select a garment with logical precision”
Five T-shirts on the line
Which to wear for tasting vegan cheese and non-alcoholic wine?
The red is too flamboyant by far
The brown looks the same shade as eczema shampoo, Polyt*r
The green is a tummy after MXT kind of shade
The luminous white has the Sudocrm after heat rash type of vibe
So the only logical choice is a springtime yellow, which will suffice to meet the Vulcan and toadstool tribe3 -
Polyt*r 😂😂 I shall never look at a brown tshirt the same way again 😄. Thank you bosh a fabulous Spock tie-in 🖖 :) xx

back in the 2am cuppa club ☹️
Worried about Anda as she not well, keeps being sick in the evenings, but it’s not a bug. Docs tomorrow for her i think.
Reshmi I think that was the best one yet. 👏

Morning all
Sorry about Anda Keef hope she can get seen at the docs and get an idea what's what 😕 and you got some half decent sleep xx
Hope frogmorton is ok - tea up, see you all later ☕️xx

morning Toni and toady
How are you both doing today?
Mums ok 👍
Thanks about the poem toady
I walked early today which was good
I left the house before volcanic eruptions 🌋
BR went to a birthday soirée recently
He was surrounded by lady babies just like his brother- what bad behaviour from a postulant 😂😂
👋I see the pope has two brothers- that’s interesting to know
👋 Toni the mental health book said people need coping strategies in life as the alternative approach of not preparing for anything becomes as deeply unsustainable as having a daily breakfast of chicken nuggets- just don’t tell LA haha
👋 hi SK
How are you? thanks about the poem
Sorry about your wife
👋 Joan how are you doing today?
Bye for now all tc xx
Ps toady- a matching accessory for your T-shirt lol

Hi all 👋 it has just literally done a walloping clap of thunder here that I was not expecting 😮 quite heavy rain overnight too.
We are down a few people today aren't we, I wonder if as well as the usual posting 'thing' there was another forum hiccup as I could get in this morning but not to this page 🤔🤷♀️. Hope everyone ok.
Love to frog and Joan for when they do get in, hope SK and Loanda are alright too 😘 xx
Hi to bosh, I am wearing a tshirt with a white background but reds and browns as a photographic print too, I would say I resemble a certain boxed iron tonic just to run with your excellent theme 😂. I don't own a just yellow shirt so Mr Spock would think it only logical for me to acquire one, I'm sure 😉 I used to be very fond of yellow actually, time & tide have taken it out of my colour palette maybe it is time it made a comeback 👍️ primrose maybe, perhaps not sunshine yellow. Hope your day is going ok I am not doing much I have been fiddling with my printer. Oh dear we are supposed to be prepared for things in life are we 😬 that's where I've been going wrong all these years 😳. Glad you got out of HV early and hope you had a nice dog free pollen free people free walk, or at least in manageable quantities. Definitely going to rain buckets here in a minute I think but hopefully a cloudburst & no more. Have a good evening 😊 xx
Kettle on for anyone who calls in and hope Stuart, Jojo and Carol are doing ok today xx

Hi everyone
it was the forum I got this several times
as did Joan because she messaged me on my phone.
Sorry about that we are both fine though. I had 8am bloods this morning so failed to get back in. Sorry if i worried anyone.
I need to see the unfurling flower Keef! Looks as though it will be pretty. Hope Anda is ok and can get a Drs appt.
Loved the T shirt poem it's brilliant I di love it when they get two titles you know. I really did have to smile Reshmi 😁
Did Jojo get in she posts early too. It must have got sorted though for Toady and been fine in the early housr when Keef went on.
Toady Elfie seems to have had a lovely time at the beach fish and chips a 99 and also some rock. Slept all the way home again. 4 hours.
UNFORTUNATELY the vet's surgery appear to have lost Sleeks blood test! Would you Adan and Eve it so the poor little girl will have to have another one when she goes on Thursday. I have worried all weekend for nothing.
Honestly!
Busy day tomorrow someone coming to fit new electricity meter and of all things HD in the afternoon😣
sorry this is short it's teatime now so must feed Paul and then water the garden plants.
Take care everyone all being well normal service will be resumed tomorrow ((())) xxx
Hello to Carol and of course Stuart ((())) xxxx

Glad Elfie had the full seaside experience 🏖️ I enjoyed it too secondhand thank you, love to everyone and v good luck with both your horrid things tomorrow 😒. Xx

joan xx2 -
oh flippin’ heck, not good here. I took Sucré to Niff’s after skool so he can go swimming tomorrow. Niff did me some dinner as I hadn’t eaten since breakfast and Anda rang sounded terrible so raced back home to clear up after she’d had ‘problems’ poor girl and get her fresh water and make her up a rehydration fluid. Now sitting on bed to keep her company. I hate it when either of my two are ill. I would definitely rather be ill myself than have Sucré ill and I am really hoping he doesn’t get this. I am cleaning everything twice every hour or so lol.
haven’t even looked at the flower to see if it’s out today. Gotta hang washing out in a bit so will look then.0 -
Hi Toni
How are you?
I hope your bloods went ok?
That’s unfortunate that there was that problem with you getting into VC
My goodness I hope this weather ends soon
Now LA is jealous because BR is left - handed 😂
Do you have any ookey insect bites?
Or have the insects respected my good friend?
I hate this time of year, I’ve got some nice light summery tights but I’ve only got two pairs as they cost almost as the increased rent toady is charging us for the biccie cupboard haha
Have a good night Toni tc xx
Ps some very unusual fizzy drink options here - I think I’ll stick to tea lol xx

Hi SK
Sorry to hear that your family isn’t well.
I hope they feel better soon. Have a good night take care x

hi toady
That’s nice about the t shirt with a red element
I’m rather crackered I’m afraid
👋 good night toady Joan Jojo and S knee tc xx
Ps some delicious American pizza to keep you going- or maybe not lol xx

Oh poor you and poor Anda SK 😟 you did think it wasn't a bug, either way do hope Sucré is ok and whatever it is is as short-lived as possible 🤞🤞 can hardly wish you a good night but I hope you cope ok and Anda improves tomorrow xx
Quick goodnight to bosh and will catch up with you & everyone again tomorrow xx

Hi
Made a mistake yesterday went with mum to the dentist yesterday. Woke up stiff as a board everything aches, not funny trying to put a brace on when U cannot bend your knee!

Morning Joan how are you and Pepper doing? Poor Sleek yes and as you said she doesn't know what's coming but I do. You feel so guilty don't you? Even though it's to help them you feel bad. Still it's the same vet who I have used for over 30 years so i can forgive them one mistake. Take care ((())) xxx
Morning Skinny Keef Poor Anda I do hope she's not too bad today. So glad little Sucré is safely at Niff's because you don't want him catching it. What about you though? You might catch it! Please look after yourself too.
I know what you mean about wishing you could be ill for those you love. I'm sure you can totally imagine me when Lucy got leukaemia at 16. Terrible time. What's more I couldn't even spell it then!
Take care all of you ((())) xxx
Morning Jojo how are you doing did the painfree time ease off? Now is the time to make some notes about your pain. What it is where. How much swelling (I measured with a tape measure) any other symptoms like rashes/high temperature. Anything else of note redness in joints and then how much it affects your daily life. All of this will help diagnosis when you finally get to see someone ((())) xxx
Morning Reshmi how are you feeling hopefully TOTM is easing off by now. Hope your Mum is doing ok?
Thanks for asking bloods went fine I got the 8am appt so was in and out driving home by 6 minutes past. Not a sign of a bruise. I hope she's there again next time.
Gosh did you say BR is left handed?! That makes him special I want to be left handed too not boring old right handed🤣 Poor LA bless him!
Loved the drinks dispenser I hope it works I know which one I'd be pressing with my cup😉
Actually I don't know why I didn't moan (not like me!) but I did get some insect bites 4 altogether all gone now though. My new trick for the 'itchies' is to put on a barrier cream (E45/ceravee) on exposed parts before i go out especially if the grass is being cut. It helps it really does.
Shall we crowdfund for some more tights for you? Funny how they cost an arm and a leg though😂
Take care ((())) xxx
Morning Stuart that isn't good I hope you got the brace on though? Have things eased a bit? Still I expect your Mum liked the support of you being there ((()))
Morning Toady Another lovely day here ahead I thinkk although i can se a breeze out there. A person is coming to change the meter electric because we aren't getting any money from the grid from that which our solar panels are putting into it!
Poor little Sleek my heart goes out to her but as i said I've used those vets for over 30 years and this is the first time they've let me down so i will forgive them.
Did you get a storm? We got six large drops of rain so had to do my own watering nothing due at all today. Elfie was at the window waiting eagerly when the black clouds went past us.
Take care ((())) xxx
Hello 👋 to Carol ((())) xxx
Won't let me upload images today now🙄

Hi all 👋
On the hot side innit 😬 I could do with a couple of degrees off this by the weekend as I was hoping to go out, never satisfied.
Definitely full-on garden watering frog, hope you're managing, no rain for you & Elfie, you probably have a proper tap etc though not taking water out like Joan and me. I have been out this morning, maybe the lupin will be blue? There is the tiniest hint of colour but it might be fooling me and planning to change as it develops and grows more 🤨. Everything else not too bad, just wondering as always why things grow up anything & everything except what you've provided for them 🙄😄. Hope elec man went ok, annoying though it is to need to have them, and the rest of your afternoon. Oh the gas people want to dig the road up again apparently after all the trouble before which one thought was over & done 😕. Not for a while but I don't know what they are playing at and quite probably nor do they. Much love to dear Sleek and to all 😘 xx
Hello Joan hope the people came on time for you and did the right things and did them properly. Sounds like that will be very handy if they have 👍️. Thank you about the bank holiday I probably would never remember at all if I didn't come in here & have you remind me 😄. Must check there is nothing inconvenient about it. How is Charlie? Have a good afternoon love to Pepper 😘 xx
Hi bosh, hope your mum gets on ok with her vaccine 🤞 hope you feel a bit better soon too from any pesky totm symptoms. Glad you had a nice takeaway, I am nearly out of groceries til al fresco tomorrow so lunch was a cheese sandwich with the crusts off, not for refinement but because of a speck of mould on the crust, don't tell JA as we say or for that matter LA, the right handed cheese sandwich aficionado 😂. I have just sent off a half-decent nosegay sale so I will do my best to cap the biccie cupboard rent so that summer tights may once again be affordable 😉😄. Have a good afternoon 😊 xx
Hey SK glad you got by overnight and made it in today 👍️ do hope things are improving and you are ok yourself. Take care all of you xx
Sorry the stiffness got you I know all about not being able to get to the bit you need to, we are not well designed are we, we should come apart for maintenance 😬🛠️😄. Hope your mum got on ok at the dentist at least, love to the cats xx
Hope things as good as poss with you today Jojo, will you be working the next bank hol? xx
Love to Carol and anyone passing by, hi to @geewhiz70 too 👋 :) xx

hi all. Thanks for all the well wishes for Anda. Been a busy day all in all, saw my consultant, he slightly concerned with one aspect of the illness but overall pleased with my progress. Loanda is getting better although does seem to have a steady high pulse. BP and Sats are normal, think she just dehydrated. She has eaten today and no ill effects.
We had heavy rain here the other night amd when I was putting the GS away I found that the false ceiling was full of water so I was up on the roof with my emergency repair stuff sorting that. Nearly slipped getting down due to my stupid back.
then it was a quick dash over to Niff’s to collect Sproglette ready for skool tomorrow. I am absolutely spent. I must have done the stairs a hundred times today looking after Anda. So I have just popped pills and tucked Sucré up in bed, he is snoring and I will be too shortly.Good night, wppt. 😁
