Morning Joan hope you and Pepper are well? All is ok here Paul is being very good (apparently) with his ABs I always think it's harder to take the 4x a day than 3 don't you? Hope Brenda arrived home safely I bet you are looking forward to good catch up. 😊 Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo good idea taking some heatpads and of course your painkillers with you. I am very glad to hear you have arrived safely (did they make your beds up for you?) and am sure everyone feels at home straight away. Maybe you and Michael had a cheeky glass of something when the kids got into bed. Have a lovely lovely time I wish I was there I missed my chance to jump in the boot😁 ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart how are you and your Mum. Did you get any rain we have had some overnight I wasn't expecting it. As usual it hasn't seemed to have penetrated the soil enough but I think the grass will be much happier now. 5am? Did you have a lie-in? Only joking honestly good to see you got a bit more sleep than usual. Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef how are you doing? Has that polywhatsit given you a break yet? Hopefully (and I am sure) you are having a lovely summer holiday with your boy. Sucré is probably missing his friends at nursery and won't be unhappy to go back to school at all. You two will miss him. Take care Keef ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how are you today and your Mum is she well too?

I hope your sister gets that MRI soon. Before any permanent damage is done. Just to reassure you my back used to 'go' like hers regularly from about 21 till I had the surgery at 39. So all being well there hasn't been time for anything permanent. My damage isn't too bad I just can't feel some parts of that leg it works ok. The Drs kept ignoring me until it finally 'went' that time the leg stopped working and i could have stuck a knife in it it was dead. The pain in my back I never want to feel it again so I really want your sister to get sorted. That's why.

Anyway One of BR's little friends wanted to see his room? Interesting bless her I kind of understand it I mean with small children their bedroom is 'their' space. Perhaps she was hoping to see his cuddlies😍

Doesn't Toady look adorable in the morning? Awwww!

Paul is being very well-behaved with his medication yes - probably not so well-behaved about elevating is foot though🙄

There are some very odd people on Bracehook worth avoiding. It's the ones who message you I don't like that I don't really know. Creepy! That one was very creepy.

So the naughtier treats are out of reach for small boys unless they have a handy BB to lift them up😂 He is a cheeky one BR, but cute I'm sure. Big school for him in September uniform shopping soon then? LA is still with Lorenzo let's hope for the best 🤞

Have a good day Reshmi ((())) xxx

Morning Toady how is your part of the Midlands? Here we had rain overnight! Hoorah! Can't fault that can we? As long as it does the same tonight. Garden is 'getting there' for the afternoon tea next month. Unfortunately a lot of things are going over, but such is life. Bought some geraniums to fill some pots for colour.

Elfie is still in 'Big bed' Sleek is coming over to you on her own. She fancies 'helping' you in the garden this was her here the other day

Not the road again!🙄 No😣 I do hope a Toad will get some peace at some point in her life!

Mind you they will be digging the road up here for the Church loo not sure exactly when and of course it (the soil pipe bit) is directly in front of my house. There will be traffic lights, but as I met the builders yesterday they will let me know when.

Paul is doing ok and thinks he can already feel some improvement in his ankle/foot. Unfortunately he does have to stand most of the day instead of resting it. Still not needing to be excused too often though. Interesting that.

Take care and I hope you get outside today between showers ((())) xxx

Hi all 👋 tiring day have achieved v little 😳

No not even anything outdoors frog, not like good little cats sitting there so prettily in the sunshine 😊 doesn't she look a dear. Tomorrow should be fine and they have taken a lot of rain off from the next day 🤞 we did have it overnight here. Your lavender is still looking lovely, and everything is very tidy. Yes things are going over far too rapidly, I took an agapanthus pic one minute (must find it) and now it's making seed pods like there's no tomorrow 😮. The buddleia is fab and once again I do wish it could be left as interest, it makes all the difference in that corner. Glad to hear Paul is doing ok and hope he notices continual improvement. Hope Elfie enjoyed his lie-in, I was (by chance) reading some feedback for some 'inferior' elves on shelves last night on nosegay and amusing myself, a lot about them being smaller than 'normal elfs', well you know what they mean but it took me a minute 🤭 and even this: 'Elf’s head is too small for its body. I am wholly disappointed and cannot do anything with this as the child will notice the head is too small' 😂. Then there was another item I looked at which the seller had photographed on a table with a whole page of medical paperwork visible, patient name d.o.b. drug info and dose and consultant, gosh can you imagine 😮. Hope your roadworky bits aren't too bad when the times comes and they do a good job. Have a good day tomorrow 😊 xx

Good point Joan, yes I am in the middle of the road, probably the worst place to be in this instance 😂 ah well I would be, wouldn't I. Boilerman expects me to keep him posted if bits of the roads are closed, not sure how he expects me to know unless I patrol it every day both ends 🤨. Hope you have had a good day, it looks a bit better for Thurs now, so I may be lucky and not be rained on at drs appt 🤞. Have a good evening love to Pepper 😘 xx

Hope all's well Jojo, I didn't see your update yesterday when I posted but I spotted it later on, glad to hear arrived safely and the kids were having fun. Hope weather is good and you are getting on alright 🤞 xx

Hi bosh, that pic of me/the owl in the morning is more like me than you will ever know 😂 even the little feathery tufts, any HDs worst nightmare to deal with. Not much happening with me today, I have managed somehow to have a week with no early postmen or milkmen or anything else, so I have been able to stay in owl mode til a decent hour. Except that means I have not got much done because nothing made me get up 😬 oh well chores will keep. Glad you had a relatively peaceful day yesterday yourself hope today has been ok too. Funny about the white chocolate mousse diet 😂 there are probably all sorts of justifications you could come up with by that logic haha. Glad the pasty was nice and added cheer to your day 😊 I am about to embark upon a scone myself. I saw a gadget on nosegay, a butter applicator' that seemed to involve stuffing butter in a square tube so you could use it to apply like lipstick 🤨 never seen anything quite so odd (let alone messy and unhygienic?) I mean to lightly grease a frying pan I can understand, but to butter bread, most sorts would go into holes surely. May have to edit in a pic it was so odd. Talking of lipstick look forward to the poem whatever coin of the realm it is 😊. Have a good night :) xx

Wave to SK, hope you are doing ok 👋 xx

Hope you have a good night Stuart and maybe squeak past 5am 👍️ xx

hi Toni and toady

How are you both doing tonight?

I’m feeling slightly crackered to be honest, but to be fair it was a fairly good day for energy. Thanks for asking
👋toady

oh dear, that butter stick idea does seem a bit annoying and ookey, i do agree with that.

I don’t know if you ever used to watch Seinf**d? It’s just I do remember episode of that comedy. The guys decided to shave his face with a stick of butter or something similar and he was carrying butter around at all times in his pockets in the summer in New York
okay the details may not be quite right, but I certainly remember the butter stick shaving.
Yes unhygienic and extremely disgusting ha ha
Okay, a little poetic effort here. I’ve managed to cash this eventually ha ha

nothing really that great just a little poem

👋good night toady Toni Jojo Joan SK and S knee tc xx

Vc poem called, “ delightful, damsel, or hurried hag? Let’s ask the wonderful make up bag”
I have a bag so full of paints and powders
Skin friendly, of course, not allergy sparking like the clam chowders
Foundation that claims to make me look perfect and glowing
Mascara that creates goddesses with no streaky eyes showing
Lip balm flavoured with almonds, but surprisingly soapy - tasting and low in folic acid
Delicate costly blusher to make an angry complexion look placid
But ultimately, I know that my psoriasis cream is my skin’s best friend
Minimum make up and a comfort blanket - cosmetics bag are all I need in the end
