good morning Toni

How are you?

Mums ok

Mxt day 🤢🤢🤢

Bye for now tc

Ps sorry I’m not posh enough to open emergency exit, only RR can do that haha xx

👋toady and Joan xx

oooh my sister could open that. She’s really posh. Me, not so much ha ha.

Hi all 👋 quite a tiring day. BUT it didn't rain for my bloods appt 😀 had a little walk after off slightly the beaten track of the town and saw 2 squirrels, 2 robins, a male & female 'banded demoiselle' damselfly, a ladybird and a cat asleep in a little church garden 😄. And heard a bird that I couldn't spot. Bit of a comedown to get back into town and all you see is the lesser-trousered male on their mobile, with their distinctive loud call 'alright mate spot on mate no worries mate' 😉.

Do hope all's well with you frog hope to catch up with your news in due course 🤞 glad the village evening was good, so sweet about Sleek bless her, she must have thought it's a miracle! Mummy's bought ham, or am I dreaming? 😂. Hope Elfie did pitch in with the clearing up. Nice little amount for the funds 👍️. Sorry to hear btw that Fig has a leak, and after being 'treated' to new things so recently, there's gratitude 😣. Hope not a long job. I hadn't remembered about your agapanthus sorry, things go in one ear and out the other 😳 what got them? weather? I collect seeds and always mean to grow more on, but don't get around to it, though I have split them once so could do again if needs be. No rain at all to date except overnight, which was ok by me. Take care sending best wishes for everything 😘 xx

Hello Joan, why was I convinced your appt was a telephone one 🤔 just saying to Toni how sieve-like my brain is. Hope it went well? Mine was fine I was in very quickly and a nice nurse, my vein is excellent for bloods it's one of my finest features the nurses always love me 😂 but it is a good tip about drinking. I'll remember that it's bloods for you next. How nice to get those things belatedly for Brenda she will have been pleased 😊. I went for a little walk and I looked into a tiny branch of Asd* express we have, I've never been in there or any branch for as long as I can remember! My High Street had changed again some shops going some moving &c all looks very strange now 🤷‍♀️. Love to you & Pepper 😘 xx

Hi bosh, glad group was ok even if there were a few mini social minefields to navigate 😬 (I expect RR will have thought no more about it after that) and some slightly wrong layers. Must say it was warmer today than I expected too. My bloods were ok, it was also my injection day because I left it to be Thurs having forgotten last time's, may go back to Weds after - I have 2 new insect bites so there isn't much that hasn't been jabbing me with something today! 😣 Hope mxt is lenient and neither of us need the unfortunate gastric sign 😬. Far rather the complimentary biscuit 😂. Oh I did put my makeup order through in the end and I confess there may be something with a plumping effect 😂 just because I wanted to try the colour. On my own head be it! I noticed a lot of flavours in lip stuff since you mentioned it, honey and caramel etc, don't really want it myself. Have a good day tomorrow hope EF are ok as poss &c :) xx

Glad things are alright with you Jojo and hope you've had a nice day 👍️. Maybe on the beach again 🏖️. My bloods were ok thank you, well depending what's in them of course 😬 and I had a little walk, pleased to say my ankle is behaving well now and can walk more normally. Hope you have a good evening :) take care all xx

Yo Keef 😊 glad you feel the flare has subsided that's great (bet you 5p Toni will say to see your consultant anyway 😉), hope family ok. You know we never mind a bit of d&g but understand that you don't want to (and obvs don't want you to have cause for it!), nice to see you in - take care :) xx

Have a good night Stuart 😴 did you have rain in the day or just overnight? Nothing here now til Sunday, so they say. Take care love to cats :) xx

hi SK

glad you’re feeling a bit better
No, you’ve not missed anything Spectacular poetry wise

just a poem about make up bags which is of course it’s not everyone’s cup of tea haha
Have a good night take care x

3am 😫 pills

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) I hope your blood test comes back alright. My blood test is Wednesday. Yesterday the doctor couldn’t figure out witch tablet caused the mark so he said stay as you are. When I took pepper for is walk we were 5 minutes from home and it poured we got soaked. I had just finished my dinner and Brenda came.

Toni (()) the Doctor yesterday checked my tablet looking at Google earth I saw in my notes. I hope Paul’s blood test tells him what’s wrong. have a good day you don’t need anything else to go wrong.

Jojo (()) are you having good weather have a good day.

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

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

Skinny Keef (()) you are welcome to come on here and moan where else can you go have a good day love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (())

Consultant app on 20th of the month, I'm snappy not eating much

Hi all 👋 quick wave, trying and failing not to get too wound up towards next week's boiler visitation 😬

Well I'm v glad Paul will be 'looked at', some more. frog, but not nice waiting for tests back etc, fingers crossed it is the 'a bit' side of things & manageable. 12 hours standing does not sound ideal I daresay Elfie had a few things to say, but I would not be much different I doubt, so glass houses etc. All the very best hope he hears back promptly always a weekend isn't it. I'm glad I gave you a small laugh anyway 😊 it was a very nice little walk, until I strayed into shorts territory, I also passed some very aspirational houses I never saw before in person, down a lovely quiet lane, one up for sale too; oh dear, just for the want of something with a few noughts on the end you could breeze in & say 'I'll take it' 😣. Hope all stays well for the afternoon tea, we have a little rain Sat and a rather wet windy day Sun maybe our end of the storm due further North, but then yes a very nice looking week 🤞. Your time for agapanthus will come around again 👍️ I've just bought some loppers from catazon and will be interested to see if they actually implement the age restriction for bladed items thing on the doorstep 🤔. Have a good weekend, love to everyone 😘 xx

Hello Joan I will only hear about my bloods when I go to see my consultant next, these were mainly the ones so they can issue my ongoing RA med prescription, so they won't ring me I doubt. Sorry they couldn't make a judgment about your pills 🤨 logic says you would think they'd try cut each one out in turn but I suppose that's not ideal or practical. Sorry you got wet as well it could have just let you have that last 5 minutes. A lady in a scooter passed me yesterday she went over both a set of zebra crossings with the lights red, on a quite nasty corner where lots of lanes join, so did everyone else, joggers and a cyclist 🤷‍♀️ even if it's clear why not wait a minute, it's always just me standing there following the rules 😂. Have a good evening the weekend looks a bit dicey but nice after that 😘 xx

Hi bosh, a light jumper on your walk you say? don't tell me the jumpers are 'coming for us' already 😱😂 well I will hold them off as long as humanly possible. Not much doing today I am just juggling online shopping orders and whatnot, to make sure no-one turns up at the same day as boilerman and he is hopping over my groceries in the hallway, not having that again! 😣 Next weekend is not a bad amount of notice for the littleys hope all goes well, yes you are right that sometimes with the gastric gods a policy of 'they whose names should not be spoken' may be wise 🤞. Take care sorry no news, I'm sure some will transpire shortly 😊 xx

Hi Jojo, hope everything is going well with you today 😊 👋 xx

Not much appetite and not feeling all that 'sunny' Stuart, sorry to hear, I hope the consultant has something useful to say 🤞 take care xx

Good sign idea SK 😁 no-one wants their bathroom flooded (with anything!!), there are enough opportunities for leaks as it is. Hope your day is going ok as poss 😊 love to all xx

hi Toni

How are you tonight?

Tofu vegan scrambled eggs that sounds great

I see I will relay that information to the Muse. Very good ha ha
I’m not too bad thanks Toni, rather tired but the day was okay and Made better by the weather not being ookey thank Mother Nature

Yes, you are right, the nation needs to be alerted about various potential food shortages, or at least those in the south-east before the little brudders descend

I Must admit I had a rather chocolate - heavy day today, but as you say, it’s nice to indulge sometimes 🤗

I managed to find and consume an apple in the fridge,

which is a great achievement because you know how dad is with his fruit hiding activities🤷‍♀️

Not really a great deal to report today

At the end of today, mum was feeling a bit rundown and tired I told her to take a proper rest. Hopefully she’ll be feeling better in the morning

I made her some tea, that kind of thing, you know that she doesn’t let anyone help her much

also, I think to be honest she had a big Barney with dad, which couldn’t have helped matters
Maybe she’ll feel refreshed, de - stressed and generally better tomorrow I hope so

actually, I had a chocolate and banana wholemeal muffin from the bakery today
It’s very unusual that they have anything even vaguely healthy so banana and definitely the wholemeal are good signs

but don’t worry, I’ve been careful with my finances and did not try to claim a 20p credit situation 😂

Sister has had the MRI scan by the way so should get the results in a couple of days. I think it is so I’ll let you know of course as soon as I know anything myself thanks🙏

Have a Good night Toni, take care xx

Tea up ☕ xx

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) have a good day. Is that storm anywhere near you. Did I tell you in the hot weather we had I saw a lady waiting at the bus stop with only her bra and pants on. So the gas man will soon be with you. I open the front door 8-00 pepper sits there waiting till he hears Charlie then he makes noises Charlie comes in a says hello son.

Toni (()) have a good day and Paul (()) his foot must be feeling a bit better being elevated and the swelling going down. It will be good when you know what is wrong. Will that heavy rain be near you.
Jojo (()) have a good day when is it you go back to work.

Reshmi (()) have a good day I’m sorry your mum and dad had a argument it’s upsetting I know it happens sometimes. Love to your mum (()) she needs to go on strike and have things done for her.

Stuart (()) good you have your appointment. Love to your mum (())

Skinny Keef (()) have a good day love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (()) the person who made the mess in your bathroom I wonder if they do that in there house.

good afternoon Toni

How are you doing today?

mums bs is ok 👍

Thanks about my sister

Mum said she was feeling better this morning, but I made a mistake, the EF is actually coming tomorrow in the evening- triple ook alert 😱😱😱

And she’s Got obsessed with cooking that she won’t let me help with, but never mind, it’s her way of keeping busy I suppose

Thanks about the tea etc 🤗

so the little Littleys are coming tomorrow with their parents and the nephews are staying with us in Reading on the Riviera, and they will return on Saturday of next week I believe

so sleep maybe in short supply, but fun will be had
Let’s just hope the fun is not too raucous with them jumping up and down on beds until they are broken

or with the brothers running wild in the town centre, eating massive bags of sweets when the eyes of adulks are turned away for a second - potential ook 😱

Blearios would be very welcome thank you Toni as well as cheese of any variety of course

P is not elevating his feet that’s not very good.

I may have to send LA down there to tell him off
That may well do The trick because when LA is angry, He is very scary

In fact I myself, despite my mima - status, have been known to quake in my boots. Haha

I’m not feeling too bad thanks but

it’s very hot in the house already because of all the cooking going on even though it’s not a hot day🤷‍♀️

I think I have to disappear very soon for some ablutions

Bye Toni tc xx

👋Joan Jojo toady SK and S knee xx

Ps “Hygiene- keeper” RR is being saluted- how nice😂xx
