Val's Cafe

Hi all 👋

Glad to hear Paul is responding to doing good work on his foot and look at Elfie, oh what an example to us all, what a star 😀. I trust his temp was within normal Elfie range 🌡️. Hope Paul's London trip gives him a few days yet and isn't straight after the weekend. Oh yes can we plot over our lovely houses please 😊 yours does sound like a snip for that! mine is even pricier, talk about cloud cuckoo land 😂 well who knows. Nice garden too it was. The shears are here, no-one asked to see me - they didn't say they would want to, specifically; whether they did one of those behind the scenes id things checking your financial details? 🤷‍♀️ even so I may not be the person here on the day to take them in. Mind you being a responsible age doesn't mean I'm not going to run amok with pruning shears does it 🤔😉. Getting someone lined up to do your gates is good and as you've done things to your planter too full marks to you 😀 oh and a dear robin how lovely. Nothing else going on as I have the boilerman manifestation tomorrow, as Reshmi so aptly put it, I'm sure he is actually looking forward to it 😱😱. Have a good evening love to all 😘 xx

Hello Joan, the storm does not seem to be coming this way, as far as I can tell, it is wet the next couple of days but no more than breezy. I'd rather it was nice weather after that anyway as hopefully the boilerman will be gone and I can get out if I want. No you didn't mention the underdressed lady 😬 there are some very skimpy clothes about and short shorts etc but I can't imagine what would get into you, not just throwing on some light clothes 😮 it takes all sorts! Glad Pepper has his little routines and waits for his friend Charlie 😊 is he much the same healthwise (Charlie I mean) and following his diet a bit or not at all? Have a good evening 😊😘 xx

Hi bosh, oh gosh that sounds like quite an extended littley visit as well as nearer than you thought 😬 I hope your mum is not cooking enough to lay siege for weeks, and it all goes well. Your sis will appreciate it ofc. My gastric situation was not that marvellous overnight, I blame some salad potatoes with their skins on, I think, I've never really worked out how I get on with nightshades it's not cut & dried anyway 🤷‍♀️ how about you? The muffin sounded very nice, good that they have a choice and some more healthy ingredients 👍️. My new makeup is here I will report back lol, I got a new foundation too separately from catazon. I noticed a review for something else, a bag, that had been written by the AI, it was one of those vine reviewer things, well it's a bit much if you can't even be bothered to write your own stuff but there we are, never overestimate people 🙄. Have a good evening and thank you for the offer of LA as backup for the boilerman, because if there is one certain thing it is that by day 2 I will want to throttle him 😄. Take care xx oh btw jumpers yes not my favourites but I do have a detente with them when the time comes, including a nice light one myself, would ofc just rather the time did not come yet 🤞🌞.

Hi Jojo hope you are feeling a little brighter today and having a non work day too is helping. Good luck for bloods it is nearly all of us this these last week & next week or so it seems, we are keeping the phlebotomists busy 😬. Have a good evening I hope 👍️ xx

My tea time came earlier than yours for once Stuart I was very glad of one too, it was a horrid night. Your poor mum taking a trip like that, it was in the garden I sprained my ankle, our gardens are trying to get us 😱 I hope she's ok she didn't let it stop her anyway, I would be the same, but hope not too many more bumps or bruises come out later. xx

Wave to SK if passing 😊👋 xx

Hi Toni

How are you tonight?

That’s a good point about jumpers

It’s not always easy to know which ones will be itchy is it?

I’ve got a very ookey stomach I’m afraid

ETA of EF - as it were haha - is about 4 or 5 pm tomorrow

I’m practically face - planting here

So goodnight Toni tc xx

👋toady how are you?

Potatoes and tomatoes etc are ok for me but if I’m feeling gastrically compromised I won’t eat the potato - skins

Sorry my stomach has asserted itself, so to speak, so energy stocks have been depleted- but not cheese stocks thankfully

So I will bid you good night tc xx

Sorry about your own gastric woes by the way

👋Jojo I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better good night tc xx

👋Joan thanks yes mum needs rest and pampering, but she’s a stubborn lady lol good night xx

👋night SK and S knee xx

🫖pills

Morning frogmorton yeah hopefully I can get to the bottom of it my foot is still really painful I'm thinking I might have to make a doctor's appointment not like they are ever do much to help I'm already on codeine again it's not doing much for the pain. I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

good morning Toni

How are you?

Mums ok 👍

Wppl xx

afternoon toady or toad in nice new makeup mode
how are you today?

I see vine reviewer, I had to look that up, but it sounds a bit of a ookey and lazy concept I must agree

How are your stomach issues today?

I eagerly await your cosmetics report lol

Yes it was a nice muffin thanks

it’s nice to buy some new makeup sometimes isn’t it?
I bought some from nosegay recently, but it wasn’t that great

But sometimes nosegay stuff can be very good of course

Sorry I’ve been trying to finish writing this for hours

Got interrupted by mum and some little monkeys who’ve arrived now

Have a good evening toady tc xx

👋good evening Jojo Joan SK and S knee xx
ps Ms toady - I’m afraid you’ve been cut off, no more cheese for you or your milkman! Let that be a lesson to you haha xx

Night one & all 😴 nice sunny day, which I have spent indoors doing housework 😣 can I go to bed now please? Not that there isn't a good hour's more work I could do but it ain't getting done tonight.

Hope to be back properly asap, if there is some sort of miracle it'll be a one full day job but I fear more like one & a half, we'll see. Will post a mini hello & update sometime, thanks all for the news & chat and funny things 👍️. Good luck with all that's going on at yours bosh, glad there is no cinema for a while - I think I have got the lesser end of things with a couple of days of the boilerman, at least he will not be doing drawings & demanding puddings 😂😂 well let's hope!!

Night frog, thanks for the support on all fronts, moral & practical, Sleek will be indispensable in the face of tomorrow's travails and won't stand for any 'tackless coments' from workmen, I know 👍️ chat soon hope all's as well as poss at yours 😘 xx

Night Joan thank you yes all being well tomorrow is definitely 'the day', the sooner the better 👍️ the boiler is ok no worse but I have to keep an eye on it & drain water off at intervals or the pressure will go up, it isn't too much trouble it's just you can't really forget about it. Have a good Monday yourself 😘 xx

Hope Jojo Stuart and SK are okay I'm sure there will be tea at some point in the night if not several ☕️ take care all xx

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) have a good day. I hope the boiler man’s visit isn’t too long and he doesn’t want too many cups of tea. All that matters is that he fixes the boiler.

Toni (()) have a good day. We haven’t had any rain yet. Sorry your foot hurts. Is it a bank holiday today. Love to everyone.
jojo (()) have a good day. All the best for your appointment

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

Stuart (()) how are your ankle and knee. Love to your mum (())

Skinny Keef (()) how are you feeling. Love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (())

Good almost afternoon Toni

How are you today?

A very sophisticated and nice looking breakfast there

Mums ok 👍

Sorry about your foot pain

How is it now?

Mine is ok at last thanks

I think I wore the wrong socks yesterday when I walked

I should’ve worn thick warm socks, so yes a bit like you - injudicious footwear issues lol

BR and LA gave dad a very large breakfast order, comprising of porridge, toast and blearios!

My goodness, the breakfast of grandfathers, good to see BB do some work for a change though haha

BR also demanded and consumed a small chocolate brownie- my goodness he gets so angry when he demands chocolate, chocolate and salmon I guess lol, although hopefully not at the same time,

I did however once watch a programme about chocoholics who ate salmon with a chocolate sauce, sounds pretty ookey to me though 😱

My stomach has settled now at last, thanks Toni

But with all this junk food in the house, the question may be for how long,

But at the moment no stomach issues, so i thanks Gerald The Giraffe - who is a type of gastric animal god and also a gastric good luck charm,

He does of course eat the very bananas that GI Joe Physio frowns upon, but no one needs to know that of course, just you and I and everyone online here 😂

According to top pharmacists, if your stomach says that a tantrum is on the way, just feed this gastric good guy some basil especially imported from Italy- Lorenzo’s uncle is my favourite black market supplier

Or if all else fails al fresco finest bananas, not the cheapie range haha

This information is absolutely true, generated by AI - Auntie’s Intelligence - I believe that’s what it stands for

don’t worry they are not getting bored, they are watching tv, eating fish fingers sans custard, multiple puddings and living like kings

There will be a regal visit soft play area later on today,

I may give it a miss as any solitude will be in short supply this week

When I walked there was just mild rain

Sorry that you’ve got an unwanted level of precipitation

Hope it clears at some point during the day

Bye for now Toni tc xx

👋toady Joan Jojo SK and S knee xx

ps BR’s bespoke toast being prepared by the workmen (but not the boilermen) xx

hi everyone

Hope you’re all ok tonight?

A tiring day here on the mima / auntie front line

I had to put a box of brownies in a secret offshore location before LA attempted an ookey level of choc consumption

meanwhile in MH bill has ordered so many takeaways that he’s exploring new ways to charge his card

and that toady has had so much custard (added fish fingers are optional) that she’s drinking and pr****g again, oh dear 😱

Good night all tc xx
