Val's Cafe

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) I posted a letter yesterday the stamp was £1-89 have a good day I don’t think we have any rain today. You did well taking the charity bags.

Toni (()) Charlie hasn’t got much patience. When I was going for a walk yesterday there was a lady walking in front of me with a stick and she was carrying bags. I said you are doing well. She said thank you you have made my day. Have a good day.

Jojo (()) you go steady have a good day

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

Stuart (()) have a good day love to your mum (()) anymore rats.

Skinny Keef (()) have a good day and Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (()) what did Sucr’e think of school.

good afternoon Toni

How are you today?

Mums ok 👍

My stomach is almost ok now I think 🙏

Yes Lorenzo is in his class 😱

Hopefully he found his jumper but yes poor little LA

Yes big guys’ playground might be a bit scary I agree

walk was better than yesterday, no sun in my face
Ok I’m bit crackered post - walk

So bye for now Toni tc xx

Ps some headphones for Sleek lol xx

Hi all, not a half bad day here really, better than it said 😊 just very blowy.

Well done frog and Sleek for yesterday 😽 & I expect her here in due course. All set up with nice things to do and a cosy corner not unlike Reshmi's picture last night, in fact wouldn't Elfie love that too 😊🍄. I hope he has a lovely day tomorrow, oh and you and Paul too of course 😉. Fig all set and in fine fettle I hope 👍️ ooh 1960s you say, I was just thinking posh but conservative frocks, that will be interesting! I have just had a little glance at the website for the event, gosh some of those cars, in the little video, even a non-driver like me can't remain unmoved. And of course the setting 😍 glorious. Nothing much to report here, I have just done some fairly efficient multi-tasking of odd jobs; I did a not half bad bit of weeding last night and some tidying out the back today. It will be dry over the next few days on & off so might get on not too badly. Bit less wind would be nice but at least it's drying all my towels quick sharp, the results of my airing cupboard turnout, so most of them will probably be going anyway - high time for some new ones 😳. Have a good evening love to all 😘 xx

Hello Joan, £1.89 for a stamp 😮 what class was that? I though it may be large letter but they seem different to that, I can't keep up now, I still expect a book of 4 1st class for £1 🤷‍♀️. That was kind that you said something nice to that lady and cheered her up 😊. Thanks about the charity things I doubt I'll notice the space somehow you never do 😄 but it's less things to dither over whether to keep or not and that helps in itself 👍️. I was saying to Toni I've sorted towels out today too, and washed up some, excellent drying weather even though it is rattling half the doors & windows, the wind must be in just the wrong direction. Maybe you have put some things out yourself, hope you have had a good day, don't forget the government alarm test thing tomorrow (if it affects your phone) 😘 xx

Hi bosh, Gesicht is good, I'm all for variety 😄 and educational too 👍️. This toad would love that toadstool cushion you posted and all those 'outdoorsy' indoor furnishings, they are super 😀. Hope you are doing ok today 👋 and are managing foodwise, yes I sympathise that it's more awkward when you can't just pick & choose what you know will be best for you. Weather not too bad here today just very breezy so am glad I went out yesterday. No joy with my scarf, I asked the Piddle online robot and they logged the lost property query efficiently enough, but all that happened is I got an email from customer service saying sorry they couldn't get through to my branch on the phone would I like to ring customer service myself later and they would try again 🤨 try again yourselves and let me know after that, surely 🙄. Sorry about LAs jumper, hope all has been resolved. He is doing very well, I would be scared of the big guys' playground, well I would be scared of the big girls' playground 😬. Oh I forgot to say yesterday, must have been delayed shock, when I went into Piddle they have replaced half the tills with self scan 😱 how could they do this to me 🙄. Longer queues at the normal ones now I suppose. Hope you have a good rest of Saturday and Sunday, take care :) xx

Sorry about the cat's dish Jojo, easily done 😔 hope everything else is going ok. When you say it was the cat's room I always imagine that the cat chose everything in it, wallpaper curtains and so on, I can't help it 😄 sounds like it will all work out well for everyone, it's nice that your daughter will have the dog in with her 😊. Take care & take it easy if you can :) xx

Hi Stuart, sorry it's being a long slog to get anywhere with the drs, I hope things turn a corner for you soon 🤞. Hope you have not too bad a day and you sleep as well as poss tonight, best to your mum & the cats xx

Hope you are doing ok Keef 👋 just had a mobile notification from the Amaz*n app asking would I like to 'continue shopping' for the crush washer set I browsed 😂 serve me right, I will get who knows what recommendations now. Have a good Sunday and family too, how is your mum? 😘 xx

Kettle on if anyone's having a teabreak ☕️ xx

Evening toady yeah we bought him a new dish a one that can't be broken. Yeah my day hasn't been too bad thanks I hope you are well and I hope your day went well. Yeah he has his own room made it easier to get away from the dogs and stopped the dogs getting in the cat litter we put a stair gate up so the dogs can't get in.

☕️🥐 pills

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) that was 1 st class I was sent little things for my hearing aids that came 1 st class so I thought i must send the money 1 st class they will last over a year. Have a good day. Treacle Charlie’s dog is going to have keyhole surgery to be spayed.

Toni (()) have a good day I hope it goes well.

Thanks it's nice to have a Sunday off work we are getting ready for decorating next week so going to be a busy week I hope you are well and I hope you have a great day.

hi again Toni

How are you?
nice pic of your fig

No need to apologise

I’m okay thanks

Are you having a nice time at the event?

Bit dark and gloomy here from time to time though
Thanks about the alarm warning 🙏

More pics, that would be nice .

BR insisted that his mummy phoned his granny early this morning because he had a weather warning for her apparently lol, he said,” Granny there is a thunderstorm today”, she said, “ I see, who said that?” thinking it might be the bet office, or at least P*ppa, but he replied angrily, “ No, BR said that”, haha

So there you have it top meteorologist BR said there’s a storm brewing, as well as excess lava flow o& course haha

Walk was okay thanks

Actually I almost forgot to mention mums ok now, but she had low bs in the night unfortunately

Ok time to ablute

Bye for now Toni tc xx

👋toady and Joan xx

Ps cat nail polish lol xx

Afternoon toady yeah my husband has been working hard today preparing the walls it needed filling in places. And I made the tea for us all. I hope you have had a good day and I hope you are well. Yeah it rained later In afternoon today but was quite warm still.

greetings toady

How are you tonight?

Yes trainee meteorologist BR isn’t doing too badly is he?

He wasn’t completely wrong, as you say rather dark and gloomy weather at times, very ookey indeed.

No he did not mention the full lunar eclipse unfortunately, interesting to know though, thanks for that information 🙏

Yes personal scarf - scavenging may be beneficial I agree, ok I know it’s not really scavenging, I just thought it sounded good lol, I hope it goes well

Yes true unofficial chuckles need to know their place lol

yes BR is the chief bread - consumer

He got so angry recently that he threw his mummy’s why? - pad on the floor and the glass broke! Oh dear!
no screen protector either, he probably just wanted to place a mass - bread order for himself and all the cafe members, bless him lol

I’m glad you liked the pics

Yes the puppet - alterations were very clever, I agree.

Not a great deal happening here either to be honest, I’m trying to eat a bit less and bit more healthily,

Even though it’s not particularly easy for me,

There are two types of ice cream left in the freezer that I’ve been banned from throwing out for the bats 🦇 ( no offence, haha) and toady one of them is a clotted cream concoction!
My goodness, nothing’s easy really is it?

Brace hook seems to be presenting me with lots of food pictures recently

One guy apparently made a “home cooked meal” which was just ham and pickle rolls with onion ring crisps! Completely outrageous, I would have at least put the crisps in the air fryer haha, sorry just indulging in my own unofficial chuckles at my own silly jokes here 😂

Have a good night toady and don’t worry I will only eat your bread as a last resort but if BR is travelling in your direction, best to employ the padlock on the bread bin🔒

Have a good night toady tc xx

👋 Toni

How are you tonight?

Lovely to “hear” from you on cats nap

Have nice time at Hampton court and good night tc xx

👋night Joan Jojo SK and S knee xx

Ps just some Shakespearean architecture from bin - terest as a bit of a change xx

Morning Joan hope you are ok? Felt very odd being so out of touch with everyone yesterday! Did you get the alarm on your phone? I did 3 times and a lady who brought her Figaro all the way from France got one 4 times! Hope Sadie and Treacle are ok ((())) xxx

Morning Jojo good girl making tea let the others do most of the work you need to not overdo it. I love how the children are going to have an animal each in their bedrooms with them❤️ take care ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart how are you? Is your Mum ok? any sign yet of a follow up appt about your MRI? ((())) xx

Morning Reshmi glad to hear your Mum's bs is now stable. Hope you are ok too.

I saw the sign for Reading upon the Riviera and Maidenhead and had to send you a photo of it I waved as we went past😉

BR will pretty soon be on telly doing the weather. Honestly i think that is adorable that he had to ring his Granny to warn her of imminent thunderstorms🤗

Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the red moon last night on our way home but we did have a lovely day at Hampton Court. Safely home by maybe half 8 last night so just time for a shower tablets and bed for me I was exhausted.

the hotel we stayed in was just lovely we really had a good, if very tiring, time.

Will catch up mentally soon take care yourself ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef hope you're ok sorry if i missed a post i'd been to Hampton Court don't you know? little finger out😉 Love to you all ((())) xxx

Morning Toady hope you're ok and you enjoyed the little bits of pottering yesterday. The gardens at Hampton court were immaculate. Mind I can't see Henry 8th putting up with much less can you? Not if they wanted to keep their heads!

Elfie did the maze in 3 ins and 32 seconds without cheating. I didn't bother trying😂

There we all are lined up inside the grounds. Yes there is a black Fig but so many people were taking photographs of themselves next to Penelope! The posing and vanity was a sight to see🤣

Us by the Thames.

I had the alarm 3xs and the lady who had brought her fig from France had it 4xs! so it certainly worked.

Nobody has ever asked to buy my reg number some have Figgy type number plates themselves, but I suspect mine is the best😉

Right must get back on it and get something done. Have a good day ((())) xxx

Good morning everyone I’m going to town today

Toady (()) yes I heard the alarm. I was posting the money off for my little things that go inside my hearing aids. Have a good day that was good you got to the post van.

Toni (()) thank you for the photos. We’re all the cars Figaro’s must have looked good. When I was ready to take pepper for a walk it poured I waited it was dry after. Have a good day

Jojo (()) have a good day don’t work too hard

Reshmi (()) have a good day and your mum (()) sorry she wasn’t well in the night.
