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.

Hi toady that sounds an interesting search on YouTube I've just been doing school run dog walk and opticians then in afternoon the kids had a summer fair at school and we actually won the raffle for once the kids enjoyed the stuff they won. I hope your evening goes well for you. And I hope you sleep well tonight.

hi Jojo

I’m glad your opticians’ appointment went more or less ok

I wear varifocals, but unfortunately they don’t work very well, most of the time I don’t wear them

Have a nice night tc xx

Ps when my bro in law makes breakfast lol xx

hi toady my friend of the bats

How are you?

Thanks about the hot choc

Dad is using the whole house as his office sometimes which is very annoying

I wore a dress and summer leggings today as a sartorial feminine one - off - to quote JA lol - but I have two lovely bands of heat rash on my legs to show for that, so right now I’m eating s*docrem porridge with a light dusting of freeze dried psoriasis cream haha

Also my left hand is a bit bruised so I will just say

Good night toady tc xx

👋Night also to SK Joan and S knee x

Ps bill is laundering marrots and possibly money too - but you didn’t hear that from me 🤐 haha xx

Tea up ☕ might have to bring your own biccie I'm a bit short 😬.

Morning Joan 2 buses? That's a long time to leave Pepper. I'd take a taxi home I think. The coffee is lovely just a tiny cup and they take it without cows milk anyway. That was yesterday's coffee spot after our ride on our electric bikes. Xxx((()))

Morning Jojo yes enjoy your children while they are young enough to love being with you ❤️

You won the raffle? Well done! It is lovely having everyone here to chat to no judgement just support. How is your wrist though?

My new glasses are waiting for me when I get home. Reading only luckily. Yours will help so much I'm sure.

Take care ((())) xxx

Toady How are you?

It got up to 38 here yesterday they are due a storm at 10ish we will be off (reluctantly) to our next stop over a 5 hour journey. Working our way north ready for home (and my pusskin❤️) on Saturday.

I do agree it's the quality of clothes which has deteriorated. I do look on nosegay sometimes not always successful but worth a try.

Elfie feels so smart in his shorts. Very good for skiing ⛷️ apparently he was on the slopes today took a catsi to the mountain and a cable car up. I have no Photographic evidence of course (we were on our leccie bikes) but Sleek may have a catsapp?

A certain young cat has lost her collar please could you pop a spare on for me unless it tuned up at yours?

Hope you caught milko OK? Are you playing gardening games? Really? Elfie prefers actually gardening. Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef How are you? Comfort? Says he who spent 2 months wearing in his leathers 🤣🤣🤣 are they comfy now?

Sucre can be a musician and biker like is Daddy. No need to be a sportsperson too. Nah!

I'm so glad he's settled in so well to school and all is good there. Shane it rained for sports day but such is life. Will he get the summer holidays off?

Have a good day Keef ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart how are you and your Mum this delightful day? Is it set to rain with you? Here it got up to 38 yesterday they are due a storm this morning but we will be long gone to our next stop((())) xxx PS thanks for the biccies!

And last but not least Reshmi! I could have done with being covered in cool cucumbers yesterday! 😊

Hope you are well in the Reading on Sea cultural society office. Talking of Reading on Sea when are you seeing EF next?

You were probably wise to dodge the group its so hot! It got up to 38 here yesterday so I had a lie down in the motorhome aircon on in the afternoon. RR would indeed paint the melted person, formerly known as Mima, o

if he got the chance!

Nice bell Toad's got there we passed through champagne Country lovely.

Well do try to keep cool if you can today and watch your hand hope it eases off soon for you ((())) xxx

Morning frogmorton I'm not great today I'm feeling ill I think I've got a virus it feels like flu symptoms I'm surposed to be going for an emergency eye appointment at the hospital tomorrow but it's a long way on the bus and I'm not feeling well anyway so may have to cancel it. Anyway I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

Oh dear poor you Jojo 😟 sorry you're not feeling well, when did you hear that they want to see you at the hospital, was that at the same time as the optician's? Typical if you have to miss the appointment that's not fair at all 😒 hope you can sort out what to do and if you have to cancel they can see you again soon. Take care let us know how things go (but if you don't feel well don't make a special effort to come in best to rest up) xx

Sorry your day is not good either Keef, blasted washing machines 🙄 hope you can rest & let the migraine work off before having to do anything too much. xx

See you later everyone back this afternoon to say hello properly 👋 xx
