Val's Cafe

Morning Joan Sleek and Pepper are protective aren't they? Sleek is still watching out of the window for trouble…. So Sue was the chatty one and you never got a word in?! You would have missed her doing the talking of course but I'm glad you've got used to it. It's raining again here not a lot but gently I am happy with that. Have a good day ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart how on earth did Ollie soak your clothes?!!!!🙄 I hipe the builder comes soon to sort the tiles out for you. ((())) xxx

Bloods done Jojo? Good and a restful time with Michael to look after you. Won't be long before you are a step closer to finding out what is going on with you ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef I think what happened was that some of our old pages got archived so that might be why you struggled with finding us? As long as you are ok that's the main thing.

Paul has a helmet, but I don't think I'll need one all us Figs go at the same speed! Safe enough I hope. It's going to be wet too so probably even slower. I have to pay my bill I had a new cam belt which means a lot more than that and a few other bits on the advisories so a lot of money😣

Any idea why the living rom telly keeps turning itself on? It's just done it and it's infuriating.

Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi I hope you are feeling a bit better today and your Mum is ok.

I hope BB hasn't brought anything too germy into the house. Neither you nor your mum need that. Of course I also hope he feels better soon (and gets out of the cold room!!!!).

Feel free to order me that sofa!

Her wish came true…..

take care I hope really hope today is a better day for you ((())) xxx

Morning Toady have you got this restorative rain? It's lovely just what we needed. Not heavy, but persistent. Sorry about your lettuce😕Yesterday was really nice weatherwise but I didn't get out (foodbank am buses pm). No eavesdropping. Nope none not enough people. Instead I chatted to a lovely lady of 81 years. She moved here from Jamaica 60 years ago and gosh she was interesting.

Fig driving well but there is another little problem to sort (at some point) at a cost of £500😣 You do not want to know what yesterday's bill was nope nope.

I hope your boiler is not terminally ill and can be fixed. When is someone coming? Did you say? Best to get them looked at in summer isn't it? Bloods are cheaper than boiler services I suppose but more difficult to arrange and the 'engineer' often lacks skills. Having said that you don't have to make them tea.

Oh I love Elfie's new T shirt! He will too and the guinea pig hat will be just the ticket. He will be very grateful indeed and snug as a bug. We were both very proud of Sleek seeing of the trespasser who should ne more careful in future. I loved that trespassers will be pus*ycatted! She is planning to come over in a bit her catsi is booked Elfie will wait here he has things he wants to do 🤨apparently today. Probably finishing my wasgij.

Oh dear better get on hope your day is good ((())) xxx

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) I’m sorry you have a problem with your boiler. Good luck with your blood test. Life can be difficult at times. Have a good day.

Toni (()) have a good day. People in our street didn’t know I could speak. Sue was always talking to someone. I gave pepper some ice cream he didn’t like it.

Jojo (()) have a good day. Sorry about your pain.

Reshmi (()) have a good day it’s funny we like things we shouldn’t have things we should have we don’t like. Love to your mum (())

Stuart (()) was your cat washing your clothes for you. Love to your mum (())

Skinny Keef (()) have a good day love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (())

Went out to get some spiritual help & came back with 2 crutches

hi Toni

How are you tonight?

Im not too bad thanks

As for totm, I forced myself to walk a bit earlier this morning, which helped me in every way

Starting to feel a little bit more energetic now thanks

Dad is being a difficult patient, no surprise there, reluctant to rest etc

I will certainly order your sofa as I’ve misappropriated bills wallet

I found it at the base of a vat of hot sauce 😂

BR has become a big clever clogs and said that he found the egg of an extinct dinosaur in the nursery garden!
my goodness if he sells that on nosegay, with toady’s assistance of course, it may mean new premises for us vc cafe dwellers

I’m think Sweden to avoid heatwaves from Hades

LA ignored Lorenzo at some soirée or other I believe

I wonder if that means his gangster days are over?

Or maybe he’s concentrating on BR - the new gangster - in - training?

I was watching some lighthearted documentary about a famous singer- he said he’s a vegan who eats beef and chicken in the morning- oh dear!

It’s like Bill saying eats low calorie food and no carbs apart from when he raids the bakery and eats t - Rex sized choc chip cookies for breakfast! Haha curiouser and curiouser indeed lol

Yes everything’s more or less ok here at the moment thanks Toni

Sis has ordered a new orthopaedic cushion for her chair at home and she’s making slow but steady progress I believe

Someone on fb said only women know the mysteries of how to operate dish washers and also mathematics - I’ve never heard that before haha

It’s been a stuffy kind of day, mainly I was in the sauna room

But I heard from a nice person on fb which doesn’t always happen

Dads in the cold room for the next few days

But I’ve asked mum if I can just sneak onto hallowed ground once in awhile to send messages etc for a bit like I’m doing now

As it’s hard to concentrate in the sauna, it’s so hot and stuffy

Ok have a good night Toni tc xx

Night all - just popping in as I will probably be awol while dealing with the boiler, nothing catastrophic hopefully 😬 but not ideal as I have to keep monitoring it - it's taking in too much water (maybe dodgy valves on the filling loop), anyway have to keep checking the pressure and bleeding the rads at all hours 🙄. Will see how soon I can feasibly get my chap here & fingers crossed it's not a big job. Take care all catch up in due course hope everyone has a good night. I even forgot my fortnightly jab yesterday that's a first 😣 so you & me both bosh. I have read everyone's news catch up soon 👍️ love to everyone there will be tea at 4 practically guaranteed ☕️😘 xx

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) sorry about your boiler I hope you don’t have to wait too long for the man to come. Have a good day.

Toni (()) have a good day. We have rain for the weekend

Reshmi (()) have a good day love to your mum (())

Stuart (()) I hope the crutches are a help to you. Love to your mum (()) have a good day

Jojo(()) have a good day I hope your pain has calmed down

Skinny Keef (()) I hope you are alright. Have a good day love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (())

Thanks dachshund I had a bad back earlier but I'm feeling a bit better now I've been to my kids star assembly and me and my husband were naughty and went to macdonalds for breakfast. I've got a doctor's appointment 2pm today to talk about my blood test results. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

sorry to hear that JoJo

I hope you get the right treatment like iron tablets possibly for your anaemia soon
Have a nice afternoon take care xx

Thanks bosh they want to get to the bottom of why I'm anemic first so I've got another blood test in 3 weeks time. I hope you are well and I hope you have had a good day.

You’re welcome Jojo

Good luck for the next blood test

I’m not doing too badly and my day was ok thanks

Have a good night and tc xx

Tea up ☕

Morning Joan imagine that Sue was so chatty that some people thought you couldn't even speak!!!! Well I never. I bet they know you can now though😊 Hope you have a good day and Pepper and you are well ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart 4am coffee thank you. Have you got some crutches seriously because they can help a lot. Have a good day it's nice out here ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo it's a tough day that follow on from not enough sleep. I hope you did better last night. It shouldn't be too long before 'someone' talks to you about your bloods which should if you are very lucky throw some light on all your symptoms. Sending ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how's the hangover? I know it's an MTX one (must add that in case a new person looks in and thinks you are a drinker!) of course. My turn later😝 Glad to hear TOTM was helped by your early walk. I tried at 9am when it was supposed to be dry it was when I set off when i got back I was pretty soaked!

Glad to hear your Dad only has a mild virus, but still it might not be so mild for you or your Mum so I hope he is being sensible.

Love that card! My cat was sitting on me - well of course you'd be late! That is the ultimate honour!😍 and the two loving potatoes awwww…

Great we have BIL's wallet! Not surprised to hear where it turned up though. Good news you sister is making steady progress I do hope she fully recivers soon it's miserable having a bad back. I expect she is still working so the cushion might help a bit.

LA avoided Lorenzo?😮I am in shock. He is breaking away from the Mafia😮 Still he does have the protection of little BR who will soon be a millionaire when that egg is up for auction. Will he buy us new premises? Wow that would be lovely. Somewhere where the temperature is always 'just right'😊

I used to love the wombles too! In fact we have one in our motorhome Madame Cholet or as Elfie calls her Madam Chocolate.

Take care my friend ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef how are you? Hope Anda and Sucré are well?

Had the cam belt done amongst other things in the car so you know what the bill was like😣Still I have no idea when it was last done so happier now.

Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Toady oh dear that's odd makes you wonder where the water might be going 'out'. I hope the plumber isn't too many days getting to you. Good job you noticed I'm not sure i would have done except if I got no hot water l suppose. Our boiler is in the garage. MILES away!

I hope you got jabbed in time and all is well otherwise. Sleek is coming over on her scooter Elfie is staying here finishing my jigsaw….Elves eh🙄

Take care ((())) xxx

Morning frogmorton I had the woman on the phone about My hand x-ray she still doesn't think it's rheumatoid arthritis but she did say she thinks I have osteoarthritis and I think I definitely have it in my knees and my poor back my lower back has been hurting for days especially when im walking. I'm off to my mams house today I feel like I haven't seen her for quite some time. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.
