Val's Cafe

Hi all 👋 bit quieter today thankfully just a bit of finishing-up this afternoon I think.

'Non-stop rakit' is right Sleek, it really was 😣 the thing is that person could quite rightly say 'well I've only had 2 days' work and nothing before that for ages', true, so can't touch for them for that - it's just always someone or something. Thank her for the earplugs anyway there will be an opportunity very soon I'm sure 😬. Sleek and I have been a bit more chilled although I did have to do my hair 😱 oh, the knots!! And I made far more fuss than Sleek about them, she was most sympathetic. Right all packed then, but nearly with no groceries 😮 omg! How did you spot that slight clerical error 😬, whilst checking the delivery tracking type of thing? V glad you could rearrange at short notice! Gosh. Sounds like 'le fitbit' will likely turn up en route as you unpack 👍️ was definitely worth getting the second. I bought a cheap little mobile off nosegay recently, turned out to have someone's texts and stuff all still on it, not for the first time 🤨strange people that would do that. Hope all your other holiday prep has gone well and have a lovely time 😊👋 xx

Hello Joan, yes your rose is a smashing colour just what you wanted 😊. I have an orange dahlia it should flower the first year, supposedly, if it does I will be able to swap you a picture 👍️. Poor Charlie with his keys 😣. Long time since I've done such a thing hope never to again if it's that sort of cost! Sorry about your freezer, that's annoying 😔 how long have you had it? Hope you find something that suits you could you get the same one? Have a good evening love to Pepper 😘 xx

Hi bosh, sorry to hear your mum has had a run of not good mornings, she was doing very well, that's not fair 😕. Hope she can work out what's behind this or will she definitely need to see someone. Glad your sis is doing ok slowly and hopefully steadily from here 👍️. I realize I'm posting (well typing) more or less in the middle of your blood appointment, possibly at the very moment 😱 so wishing it's a good'un for you. Yes 4pm not my appointment time of choice either, always thought there was a cut-off so they could send off 'the goods' by some sort of lab deadline 🤷‍♀️. Hope the rest of your ok, will you give group a go tomorrow or weather permitting, it does look a little like an oven unless things change a bit 😬. Love the crockery tantrum you have my sympathy Alice ☕️♥️♣️. Take care sorry if I've missed anything 👋 xx

Well I love the sound of 'Project Screen' Keef 😀 very satisfying and graphics too, ooh nifty, look forward to pics. Well done breaking it down into chunks 👍️. Hope the back lady went as well as poss 🤞 cup of tea coffee for when you get back save you getting up & down too much ☕️. No cake left I suppose? 🐛 xx

Sorry you had a tough night Jojo do you blame the heat for the palpitations as well as the tiredness, I guess they would kind of go together - hope your day has not been too bad so far glad you are not at work. Take care hope you sleep better 😔 xx

4.30 for you today Stuart, how much sleep does that give you depending when you go in the first place? Not ideal obviously either way. Have you made a firm decision to go privately? sorry you have one of 'those' gps 🙄 xx

Take care all in the heat especially 😘 xx

Thanks Toady I'm deciding where to go as my GP is useless only offering steroid jabs that may or may not work. I'm get sleep when I can with noisy neighbours.

hi Toni aka tone of “yet another blood test - let’s have a moan” - only joking lol

how are you tonight?
I don’t know who invented the 4 pm blood test, but never mind I survived lol

Temps in the thirties in France, oh no that’s bad

BR said to his grandfather that he could play outside in the play area his grandfather supervised, grandfather was however of course too lazy to do that and poor BR had to stay indoors, no wonder he’s drowning his sorrows in rainbow popsicles

Back is feeling a little bit ookey so I think I’ll go for now. Have a good night Toni take care xx

👋night Joan Jojo SK and S knee x

Ps avacado nails perfect for LLF lol xx

Morning Joan I am very pleased your injection seems to have worked any improvement is a good thing isn't it? You are a very strong person though you cope well with pain. Might be living with CP all your life maybe? ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny K thanks we will have a great holiday i hope travelling in our motorhome through France. It's going to be really hot but the aircon in it is very very good and I have plenty of reading matter and two books to read too.

You look after yourself and I can't wait to see pics of the screen you made for the bike🙂

Morning Jojo thank you my turn for a holiday now we will be off at 6.30 driving down to folkestone then Ferry across to Calais. I'll send plenty of photos on the way. We'll stop at various campsites en route all booked ready. We've done it before but never to Provence.

Stuart some good info from Skinny K there although his condition would be much harder to diagnose than the more 'regular' ones like RA which your mum has already. there is such thing as sero-negative RA you know which means you don't get positive R factor in your bloods but still have it. Rheumatologists know this. You may get away with bloods and an ultrasound scan Xray and a diagnosis. I am going to miss my little cat so much 😔 That's the only bad thing about holidays ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi hope you are feeling ok and your Mum's bs is ok?

I hope the communal tantrums coming from the older generation in your household have settled you do not need that at all.

I hadn't realised fast food was how quickly you ate it! In that case all of Paul's and BIL's is fast food!

Sorry for the short message but we're off very soon on our travels thanks for your kind wishes I will keep in touch of course. I cannot wait to see the lavender fields.

Lazy BB not taking bR our to play still Granny came through with his popsicles at least.

Take care and look after yourself i hope you can get to the group ((())) xxx

Morning Toady hope all is peaceful in your road today. All we have going on (the new houses are finished) is flies a real real issue with flies.

Sleek will be over every day no doubt while we are gone, but can nip back quickly when Tia, Kari or my friend arrive😉

Well done washing your hair - she is good at helping with other people's knots just not her own. She is a very empathetic cat as you know.

Le feetbeeet (Elfie's pronunciation) will turn up all being well paws crossed when I pull some undies out of the drawer you are right. The tracker says it's there just not exactly where.

As for my shopping yes i was checking the time and spotted the day😮 eeek! I had less than 1 hour to remedy it! All done though and most stuff here and away already in the motorhome😊

Take care Toady will post tomorrow! ((())) xxx
