Val's Cafe

Morning frogmorton yeah it's nice to make memories together while they are young enough to still enjoy it. Yeah my cat loves me a lot. I've woke up with wrist pain this morning feel like I'm dropping to bits I think my husband needs to raffle me. Anyway how are you I hope you are still loving your holiday it's nice to have all you people on here to talk to.

Morning all 🌞

Nice enough day to look at would be good if the wind died down. Better for you to have the breeze though frog it must be rather a relief much as I like the heat I know I wouldn't hold up well in it. Well someone suits his shorts 😁 but then again he does have the legs for it 👍😂 that view is amazing hard to think that's a real life backdrop 😍. I hope he has a lovely day with the birdlife and taking in the view oh and not forgetting you & Paul do too ofc 😁. Your salad sounds lovely even if they took a dim view of your choices 😶 as long as it's nice. Nothing planned here today can't cope with clothes shopping so yes will be digging a little further into what I already have put away unworn from no doubt as long ago as you say, or further, being a squirrel 🐿️😬. If I'd had a crystal ball I'd have done even more squirrelling but never thought things would go so downhill quality and styles etc. Every generation says that I suppose but it's true, definitely not just a generational thing I swear. Take care all 👋 xx

Wave to Joan in advance, have a good day 😘 xx

Glad you managed town and had a restorative hot choc bosh 👍 and 'a cold scone is better than no bread', isn't that the saying 😄? Wind died down by nighttime here which was better and it looks fairly overcast so will probably be cooler too. Sorry you are having an extra trying time with your dad, one would have hoped having a thing he's very bound up in like the society stuff would make him more liveable with by tying up his time & attention etc but doesn't work that way apparently 😔 hope things are not too bad today. Will probably pop in later as well 👋 xx

Hi Jojo glad you like coming in here and if you try some other support too that's good 👍 I'm always sad to see people coming in (to other bits of the forum) newly diagnosed and know it's the same scary path we've mostly all been down but it's such a good place for people to see others have done well & there is light at the end of the tunnel 👍. Hope your day will be as good as poss :) and ankle not to bad 🤞xx

Wave to Stuart I am getting the kettle going again now, sorry it was 4am for you 😔 how's the garden doing? I don't remember a worse year in mine 😬 never mind xx

Keef the computer game is along the lines of the 'fortnight' (different spelling), build up your own 'garden' from scratch all the usual elements. I don't know why it's surged in popularity when there are similar games already, the downsides are that these things get a bit silly (people trading in-game items desirable imaginary plants on eBay etc, don't ask me how that works I have no idea 🤪) Personally I think all stuff like this is better if you play it straight no cheats and shortcuts no hurrying everything. I suspect it's more likely to keep kids indoors playing then getting outdoors but who knows. Forgot to ask about sports day, how was it? 😊 xx

Right, tea ☕👍 xx

Morning toady I've got an optician appointment today and to tell you the truth my energy is mostly burned out already doing school run and a quick dog walk wish me luck getting though it. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

hi again Toady, sportsday was good. It was the usual chaos that comes with lots of young children, but to praise the skool, it was incredibly well organised, and typical of their attention to detail. Especially as there was a delay due to rain. The staff there are really excellent.
Sucré is not destined for great sporting achievement i feel, his future lays in motorsport (he is already crazing me for an electric motorcross bike) or music.

Thanks so much for asking 😁

Once again one little thing typed in this forum has lifted my spirits as I feel particularly miserable today.

Hi toady it was a routine appointment yeah I do wear glasses unfortunately my left eye has changed a fair bit so I've got some new glasses coming. I hope you have had a good day.
