Val's Cafe

hi lovely Toni

How are you this afternoon?

Thanks about junior poet LA 🙏

Yes BR can be quite as scary as any phantom or witch, but in a very cute way of course lol

I think there was a little bit of rain yesterday

My sisters birthday soon - bastille day in fact

So I bough jewellery etc from “look in my eyes, no loyalty points yet? there’s no surprise” but I was a bit uneasy because the lady serving me sometimes goes on and on chatting but today she was quite concise and said “ us women are busy” or something like that haha

No more falls or nightmares for mum 👍

Ok I’ll ablute while LA recites his poem and BR plays the flute in this tiny vignette of medieval Maidenhead or Reading or Wonderland - I don’t know, I’ll have to ask toady this mxt day 🤢

Bye for now Toni tc xx

👋toady Joan Jojo SK and s knee x

Ps genuine Jane Austen eye - plate - worth 50 p 😂 xx

Hi all 👋 just overheard a dad telling his kids a knock knock joke on the way past and missed the punchline, I was very sad 😣😂

Absolutely no rain frog and yours was the disappearing sort 😬 back to the watering can. Surprised I haven't lost more tbh nothing looking too awful on today's inspection. I hope you had a good garden session yourself 👍️. Speckly spider has been duly escorted, in fact there were 2, I made the mistake of bringing my weed bucket in and they have been doing moonlight flits from there I think. You could have done it you absolutely could they were 5mm tops, 'all in', and I do use my arm's length net on a pole 😄. Lovely to see Sleek! I heard all about baby's visit 🤐 say no more 😉. Her timing was jolly good I was just choosing some pyjamas with shorts, if that's not too terrifying an image, I know I will want them for only one warm week max so should save my money but Sleek took a fancy to some so in for a penny 😂. Anyway glad to hear baby is well and jolly and good and all those things 😊. I will remember to look for pm I usually forget because of the slidey thing to see notifications. Have a good evening, Friday tomorrow already - are there any village doings etc in the pipeline? Love to Elfie (and all) 😘 xx

Hello Joan, look at your beautiful roses, all those new ones, and buds to come 😍 hasn't it done well 😊. Sorry you have to have your boots fiddled with, I hope they get them just right for you and you aren't long without them. All quiet here today I have only done a few small chores but I washed lots of towels yesterday & got them back so that was something. Have a good evening - I have not tried another doughnut yet, updates when I do 🤭😘 xx

Hi bosh, well done getting to group yesterday (I wasn't sure you were going or I would have mentioned), and a turn in nasty M's throne, this is the stuff of legend 😂. Oh and got some sis-related shopping from the infinitely-deferred loyalty point store 😄 glad you weren't kept chatting, it's the choosing that would hold me up, I'm the 'stand there all day not being able to decide' type. Sorry it's mxt day, my gastric utopia was certainly not attained in the night, just a touch of indigestion but being woken up from deepish sleep is not fabulous - maybe it explained the dreams of having a dog jump on the bed with me 😱 the dreams weren't caused by cheese at any rate. Had a cup of tea & listened to the radio. Ah all becomes clear now we know it's Phantom's Gates 😀 well done sneaking us a copy, I quite agree with Toni, there is the influence there of 'mima and the vampire nurse'. It is very clever I think 😊👍️. Glad your mum is ok hope everything else ok at the moment, have a good evening :) xx

Blessed are the skinny for they shall inherit the earth SK 😁 well no I bet we don't, but at least come the apocalypse we will have the advantage of being able to survive on less 😂. Sorry there is sneaky neck pain for you today, well done getting the antiflams past customs so to speak hope you get away with it for as long as necessary 🤞. Hope everyone else alright, family / in-laws etc 👋 xx

Oh Stuart blah poor you, not extractions 😔 is there absolutely no hope of an alternative, I did manage to negotiate a crown instead of losing one once which was borderline 🤔. Your mum is having an absolute pain getting her pills sorted, really unfair, who needs it on top of everything. Do hope once sorted it doesn't happen again, you don't know where you are 🙄. Take care xx

Hi Jojo hope things are alright as poss with you and extra extra good luck for tomorrow! 🤞 will be thinking of you. Have you got everything straight you want to say, I always think I have but easy to miss something. I don't even know when my next appt is or when to expect it they seem to have changed the whole way they do things - not good for people who might need to plan stuff round it, holidays etc 🤷‍♀️. Glad it's cooled down a lot, it will only get to the 24s and 25s again here by the weekend after next it says. Take care :) xx

Tea! ☕️ xx

hi toady of the phantom abode - y

Sorry That’s the best rhyme I can come up with at this Juncture ha ha

How are you tonight?

Yes I agree it can be hard to make a decision when it comes to jewellery and similar nice things
nasty M’s throne indeed an almost forbidden Pleasure, I guess lol

Thanks for your kind wishes about mum. She’s feeling a lot better now

I said to Toni, I’m running a bit behind on the approach to the glitching hour

So I would just like to briefly say, dog nightmares Oh dear sounds very scary to me
Sorry about the gastric troubles, you’re having

Yes, it wasn’t ideal having the chatty shop assistant, although she wasn’t chatty on that particular occasion but sometimes she talks to me and the subject matter is really very strange for while she was convinced that I have five children I said politely I don’t have any 😂

Maybe she needs a trip to phantoms gate to let off steam talking to vampires who become vipers at night lol

have a good night toady take care xx

👋night also to Jojo Joan SK S knee tc x

Ps came across this photo of Bangor on Bin - terest - just for a bit of a change xx

4.45am ☕️🥐 pills.

Mum finally got her pills sorted

Sorry Toady just walked a lovely dog well away from Sleek. He was so well-behaved. Maybe a cockerpoo?

Well done rehoming Mr and Mrs speckly. I am not too bad with teeny tiny sp****s to be honest but 5mm Yes possibly.

Yes I am back to the watering can I'm afraid. How come the weeds seem to thrive in this dry weather? Glad you haven't lost too much, but poor Sucré losing his bean finally. 😕

I'll warn you when I send the photo of baby. They haven't sent it to me yet so no rush.

Hope your day is a good one 😊 ((())) xxx

It's beautiful Joan it clearly loves that pot😍 ((())) xxx

good afternoon Toni

How are doing today?

Mum’s ok 👍

In the end the cleaners came yesterday instead of Wednesday so that’s why it was a busy day and I didn’t have much time to get things done

I Almost forgot that I do have a little poem in the bank, but it may be a lengthy withdrawal process lol

I can’t guarantee that it will be as exciting as phantoms’ gate though haha

yes that’s right. My birthday is on bastille day. Oh that must’ve been nice, seeing the celebrations fireworks etc

Yes my own energy levels aren’t too bad today thank you considering yesterday was of course the dreaded MXT day

Mum hasn’t fallen or anything like that so that’s good thanks

yes, scary crockery indeed haha

thanks about your kind words on my influence on LA

yes I have a feeling to the lavender flavoured ice cream it’s more aesthetically pleasing than yummy however it is also important to note at this point that “lavender ice cream, yummy, yummy” is not a catchy song unlike it’s sibling ballad “fruit salad yummy yummy” lol

a bag - stealing nightmare. Oh dear that doesn’t sound good.

I think I would still personally prefer it to toady’s dog related nightmare, No offence to Joan, of course.

Thanks about my choice of gift for my sister

And about the chatty woman not being in full on chat mode lol

Thanks Toni

I hope your own mxt day isn’t going too badly?

Bye for now tc xx
