Ps a rare glimpse into toady’s beauty routine lol xx

Hi all 👋 it's not warm is it 🙄 where's the sun 😔

Quite heavy showers in fact on & off, no leaks yet frog, hope the same for you 😬. I didn't get out much in the end yesterday it was not very inviting at all, but a better day tomorrow maybe? I will snap the hosta then. Glad Trentham's are doing better than mine 😊. Sorry about Kari, me & my big mouth I sort of knew you would have said otherwise how she did, forget I spoke 😳. Disappointing for her. Hope she's fine for Monday and you both get on ok at opticians (I'm glad I went when I did and to do other things, if we have a new variant of covid creeping in - though the main news don't seem to be making much of it 🤷‍♀️). I will picture you crossing the finish line slow-mo like Chariots of Fire, in lieu of a video 🤭 Elfie I can visualize very well indeed 👍️. Haven't touched by grocery shop so far. Yes I have quite enjoyed the family tree, despite ups & downs (it does rather 'kettle your swede' at times 😬), but still very immersing! I hope I've got enough to be of interest to my friend; I probably ought to cough up for a genealogy site subscription really, I've been doing most of this on a free trial and it wouldn't be possible at all without full access, definitely. Have you done all to yours that you intend to? Hope you are having a good and not too busy day, hope Fig got on ok. When do you start the new meds have you tried them before ever? All the best with them, love to all 😘 xx

Hello Joan, my parcel went off ok and everything has been getting delivered fine lately thank you. The post van brought something early today but for some reason the on foot post man picked up mine, much later - don't know why they arrange it like that, it wasn't that small a parcel so the van seems more logical 🤷‍♀️. I hope your tongue can be sorted simply. That's good that the Dr wants you to keep him posted promptly, at least it makes them sound properly interested 👍️. Have a good evening and hope the hospital appointment is quick no waiting. 😘 xx

Hope you are doing ok today bosh 👋 and your sis is coping, with help. Not nice especially so near LA's birthday 😔 hope she feels better soon but will have to take it easy. Sorry there was no-one at group really, hope everyone was only busy or just not quite 100% but not too indisposed. Nothing much happening here, it keeps raining but only on & off in bursts, so I have to keep nipping up and down the loft like a jack-in-the-box to check on things 😱. I love my beauty routine, what nice things and a proper powder compact etc, don't I look fabulous 😍😄 thank you. Hope you rummaged yourself up some lunch, see you later if you pop in 👋. xx
edit: sorry I missed you. Hope the medicinal fluffy bread and the biscuits are doing the trick 🤗

Stuart I'm so sorry you've had to be put off for your treatment, I know how long a week can be when you're counting down to when you can hope to get some benefit, jolly well hope they see you alright this next time 😠. Chin up in the meantime xx

Hi Jojo sorry I missed you yesterday, hope you're coping today with the right balance of pills etc to keep things manageable 🤞 what's your work shifts like for the next few days? Hope family all ok take care xx

Sorry things a bit dodgy with you last couple of days Keef, glad they've steadied up a bit now hope they stay that way 🤞 hope family are ok too xx

Wave to Carol 👋 kettle is going on now xx

hi Toni

Thanks about the poem

LA’s birthday is still going ahead mum said that my sis will sit in the party hall or seats near the soft play area with a cushion 🤷‍♀️

I really hope she doesn’t do that but my sister can be very stubborn- she’s got that from dad unfortunately

All is more or less ok here thanks Toni I’m just feeling rather crackered

I like your hat - nice colour 👍

Apparently today is also national hug your cat day

so here is a Renaissance cat or something like that - not my area of expertise lol

Have a good night Toni tc xx

Hi Toady,
How are you doing tonight?

That Must be annoying about the Jack-in-the-Box situation

Thanks About my sister, she’s taking her medicine and I think my mum said she’s very gradually getting better Thanks

But she’s a stubborn lady, like dad unfortunately and LA’s birthday is still going ahead, although I’m hoping against hope that she’ll decide to rest instead of going on with the the festivities when she’s not feeling well

Anyway we can’t control other people, especially not our own family members, Well that’s true in my case anyway haha

Yeah cold today shame that it was unpleasant for you of course, for me It was quite nice in a way but I am feeling extra crackered even by MXT standards I’m thinking maybe because it was rainy - that can do it can’t it?

My Industrial strength umbrella is, however, still holding going strong, even though it’s not quite as pretty as the one from “stubborn sisters, no surprise” to use my rather strange rhyming slang ha ha

However i Think that outside that shop nothing really can be that pretty, with the exception, perhaps Riley’s sisters face after eating and licking cherry meringues, no need for make up and powder there, although the cosmetic substitute may be somewhat calorific and full of sugar of course, as long as you don’t tell GI Josephine, the physio, whatever that particular physiotherapist is called these days - I thought I’d better be politically correct here ha ha

Lunch was good thanks. I had a kind of beef soup which I know is not a universally eaten thing but it helped me energy wise for a while Thanks for asking🙏

Have a good night, toady and take xx

👋good night also to Jojo Joan SK and s knee tc x

ps I discovered this on bin - terest, so toady now you can keep all your thousands of photos of mushrooms for free and not have to pay a fortune to i - shroud or whatever it was called in the times of Poe lol xx

3 am ☕️

good afternoon Toni

How goes it?

Mums ok 👍

it is a bit stuffy in this room, but I am surviving

Mum is okay, blood sugar wise, but she’s in a bit of a strop. I think it’s with my poor sis not being too well

yes I fully understand about mothers wanting to be there,

but I’m just a bit worried that the chairs in those kind of places are not good for anyone’s back ,

let alone alone, someone with full-blown sciatica
But of course, not my decision to make and I keep out of anything excess - family related

or even family related ha ha
As for mxt - related matters I am feeling slightly ookey at the moment but will be better after ablutions Thanks

You know Toni, I also found out that yesterday was Old Maids’ Day but I refused to pander to such stereotypes haha - vive spirit of the JA heroines, cucumber sandwiches and all that kind of stuff lol

glad you like the cat

Yes diazepam is a nasty one I agree and I also hope the 3 day extreme pain situation applies 👍👍

Yes a nice and appropriate hat

Glad you got the cat - hugging done lol

I’m in the relatively cold room now but Toni it’s such a nightmare so much furniture in here little bits and pieces that mum won’t let me throw out, I worry every day that I’ll trip and hurt my knee

Okay I am going to attempt ablutions now

Bye for now, Toni and take care xx

👋 toady and Joan xx

ps apparently it’s national fish and chips day but in the spirit of vegan inclusivity, here is some battered celeriac and chips xx
