Val's Cafe

hi Toni
good afternoon, how are you today?

mum is okay now thanks
But she had a bad night, not the diabetes thankfully, but she had a nightmare and had a fall, but she did not hurt herself luckily so that was around 3:30 in the morning. I woke up and I tried to help because I thought it was the diabetes, but luckily she’s okay

but nobody slept well as a result Of course, one of those unfortunate things I’ve just had a shower and I’m close to face planting lol

thanks for the cooling foot lol

BR has learnt a little bit of Punjabi from his carer and is now insulting his brother in the “secret language” from time to time! Oh dear!

sorry about your shoulder
Okay, I should go and take a bit of rest. Bye for now Toni take care xx

Ps sleeks pal having a posh coffee lol xx

excuse anyone if you saw a half-finished version of this, something went awry somewhere while editing.

Ooh interesting Stuart, is that somewhere you know of already, department at the hospital &c? Hope it's convenient, and helpful, are you just waiting for a date at the moment?

Hi toady

How are you?

Sorry very exhausting day so I didn’t post properly

👋good night Toni toady Joan Jojo SK and s knee tc x

4.30am 🍡 pills, achy

5:20 cuppa for me

Morning Joan You chose right if the fridge door is easier to open. The best thing ever! I woke up to unexpected rain☔ Wonderful just what the garden needed and should reduce the flies for today at least 😊 Take care and have a good day ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo well done to the children 3rd is excellent bronze medal 🥉 to them! You must be so proud of them. What a shame that the food had possibly warmed up too much to be safe before you knew. In this heat too definitely not worth the risk unfortunately. Hope you aren't in too much pain today and have a good one ((())) xxx

Skinny K! So good to see your name back in the café how are you all? Much cooler here because we have some rain! Hope you Anda and Sucré are all doing ok? ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how are you and your Mum? I hope both well and last night was much better than the night before. How horrible for your Mum having a nightmare and falling and scary for you too. Thank goodness she's ok though that's the main thing.

Are you going to the group today? I am going to the foodbank It's nice and cool here because it's raining. I do hope it lasts all day! Although it was not forecast until Sunday I am pleased.

Awww that pusskin!

I am glad you liked the foot, but today i have an ice-cream for BIL I am sure he'll love it

I should really be providing umbrellas not ice cream!

How clever is BR learning another language. I expect it's not a really bad insult, but funny🤭

Take care ((())) xxx

Stuart a referral at last! and on the NHS I am so glad just get there and get assessed properly. Hope your Mum and the cats are ok? ((())) xxx

Morning Toady😊 Hope you have some of this wonderful rain? I am so happy less flies today and no watering too.

Elfie has been twerking! So funny in his little shorts. He sent Kari a video, but I can't post it on here it would so make you laugh! I can try to take a photo but not as effective I think.

Oh yes! That how do I walk or where do I normally put my arm?! Yes! difficult to explain but so easy to understand. Glad your ankle held up ok with that little walk hopefully it will continue if you take it steady. One advantage of not being too heavy is that there is less pressure on it at least.

The farmers have been muck spreading honestly doesn't help but i know the crops don't grow without. The poor cows were covered yesterday but so sweet licking me😘 Next door as you say needs to be sensible with her airing I do it now first thing while the temps are low.

Oh dear naughty flutterbyes! but still good to see them? Even if they did give your nasturtium their babies😧 I have had loads of woodlice under my pots too like you.

Those feet and the faces yes I loved them! Today's offering should be far more palatable 🤞Take care Toady ((())) xxx

Morning frogmorton yeah I'm so proud of them both them and the rest of the team did really well. Yeah tesco lost a lot of money due to the food being wasted even though they claimed on the fridges breaking down and heat luckily it's cooled down here a lot and we've got a lot rain forecast so should keep the temperature down. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

Hi all 👋 well it's cooler, but I've hardly done a hand's turn all day so I'm not sure what my excuse is 🤨

My forecast rain vanished as well by yesterday evening frog, I passed it on to you obviously! Glad you liked it! 😁 I would rather water. Weekend looks quite nasty 😕. Hope foodbank was good & not too hot either. Glad you have seen your dear coos 🐄 I did go round the fields way, on the little walk, but no sign although they'd been there recently; I'll have another go. On the insect life theme it is little speckly garden spider time it seems, so you have to watch for what's across the paths etc, don't mind too much but I draw the line at the tiny one currently strung side to side a foot or so inside the downstairs 'cloakroom' 😬 he really will have to go elsewhere! Definitely quite a few cabbage whites around now, but yes much rather see them than none. I was re-reading one of Hugh Warwick's bits about the cult of tidiness and just have to keep hoping everyone will catch on one day ✌️. True I am not putting extra weight on my ankle, good point! skinniness is good for something 😁 it does seem to be healing by leaps & bounds. I will not be doing any bounding yet - nor any twerking 🤭 yes I can quite imagine you had to be there, I get the idea though! 😁. Hope everyone well & kiss for small cats - any sign of the missing collar? Have a good evening 😘 xx

Hello Joan there was custard in doughnut no. 2 🤭 maybe jam tomorrow! Would have been better than nothing, they really aren't that nice at all on their own, too solid - why didn't I add something myself 🤔. All quiet here today and quite nice, enough cloud to make it pleasant as well as cooler. Will have to be rain soon I hope it isn't when you want to go out. Did you see they are redesigning the paper money, probably will be something even cheap & nastier looking, no more Winston Churchill apparently. Sport and so on instead I expect - just as well I don't handle money much now it would only annoy me! Have a good evening how is Charlie getting on 😘 xx

Hi bosh, hope things ok with you - not much happening with me today, injection for me so just lying low really. I meant to say it was funny about BR and the 'secret language' insult 🤭 very satisfying I imagine. I really should have learnt a language I regret it, think how handy for phantom neighbours and coded discussions, I doubt I could do it now. Whatever I chose I'd probably find the PN's spoke it as well 😱 oh that must happen sometimes. How is the ookey iron? not too bad I hope being taken with something. Talking of ookey the rose is rather isn't it 😮 but such fun dressing as a cake plate 😂 like it. Have a good evening :) xx

Hope you have had a good and a quiet day Jojo and things are ok with family 🤞 xx

Wave to the other members of the early tea gang, hope you are doing ok Stuart, and your day's been alright SK 👍️

Love to all 😘 xx

hi toady my amphibian friend

How are you tonight?

Keeping a low profile, I understand

Yes ookey rose but kind of in the eye - phone line of joking as it were

Mums a lot better today thanks

No more falls

I was so early at group I was allowed to sit in nasty M’s throne, as someone called it - my goodness what a privilege lol

glad you liked my poem

A rent reduction, very kind of you indeed 😂

It was a good day for me today, especially in contrast to yesterday thanks

It’s my sisters birthday soon, so I got some little items like jewellery, but I’m unfortunately aware that I will only see the loyalty points when the biscuit cupboard property empire has extended its reach to both Hades and the gastric Utopia that I feel well never experience haha

👋night toady Toni Joan Jojo SK and S knee x

Ps pic of someone making a cheese - related jumper apparently lol xx

Morning everyone

I think 'my' lavender fields are better, but no-one was there to offer us lavender coloured ice creams😕

Morning Joan did you get the rain? Was it when you were walking Pepper? It used to always rain at 3pm when it was time to pick up the children from school. Ask Jojo it probably still happens🙄 Lucy is fine thanks I'm just helping her with some tidying up. Take care ((())) xxx

Where is our Skinny K? AWOL. Hope all is well Keef with all of you including your Mum ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo were you shouting and cheering them on? I used to be a proper Mum-cheerleader at sports day😳I hope the business managed to claim enough back on the fridges and you didn't lose too many customers due to not having what they needed too. My friend was up in Newbiggin in her caravan but came back because storms were forecast so I thought you were in for some rain😊 Certainly helps us sleep better at night if it's cooler.

Stuart have you got a date for your consultation? Hope your dentist appt goes ok will be thinking of you there fingers crossed🤞 (()) xxx

Morning Reshmi hope you are doing ok today your Mum too.

What a great poem by LA! Now I do think you can take some of the credit without a doubt - there must be a heredity aspect in play there. Also your influence playing with words and imagination has no doubt helped, but what a poem! Even much older child would be proud of that!

Was the cheese and quiet T shirt for LA and BR maybe?

So our RR does no know where Buckinghamshire is then?🤭 interesting and to think i thought he was the fount of all knowledge too! Hope it didn't knock him of his pedestal in the eyes of his adoring fans?

I didn't think BR would say anything really rude, but he has a great scary tone of voice does he?! I am quaking from here😦

Well I do hope you see a little rain it was fabulous but unfortunately did not a) last long enough and b) have much of an impact on the temperature here….

take care and have a good day ((())) xxx

Morning Toady How are you? I hope the ankle is still getting stronger. Indeed being skinny has it's uses at times👍️Skinny Keef will agree no doubt.

Now did you get the rain in the night maybe? because l can tell you within half an hour the ground was as dry as if it had never happened!!! Honestly.

Oh dear a speckly spider in such a place is definitely not ok. He needs rehoming. For sure rehoming. Can you do so? I hope you can I know I couldn't but Paul and Lucy can.

Baby came last night to see us which was lovely she is so sweet. there is a photo of myself and her when the girls send it to me I'll do a PM to everyone so you can all see her now. She is an easy baby for sure❤️

I do like Hugh Warwick such a good person his values are good.

I think you can kiss a certain small cat who left early this morning on her scooter to see you. Elfie did some more twerking last night for the girls and as usual was a great hit with the baby as usual. She actually does love him. Especially his nose! Sleek makes a hasty exit🙀

Have a great day Toady I am planning to get outside early😊 Take care ((())) xxx

good morning Toni

How are you today?

Nice ice cream lol

Mums ok 👍

Wppl xx
