Flying solo

Hello Diary, :hello:

From reading round the diaries, am delighted to discover that the sun has arrived in the UK!
Have made the most of it's absence - much easier to work in the garden when it's cloudy, though the first wave of thunderstorms missed us so am pressing on to get as much as possible done before it is wetted down.

Garden is starting to resemble the African Velt; short trimmed grass with occasional flowering bushes and patches of veg between the trees. PC would have loved the order that is emerging as I cut through the two years' worth of tangled undergrowth.
Also finally planted the trees which have languished in pots for weeks; put them near the caravan to provide summer shade - again, PC would have approved. Took a long time to choose the spot but think I've got it right.

Everyone within a five mile radius heard the birthday party on Saturday night; by all accounts the revellers had a fantastic time as there was quite a lot for guests to do besides dance all night.
The volume was about right for me listening at the Nest, so decided not to go down - my days of partying all night are over, lol. :rotfl:

Hello Diary and Faithful 'Net Friends, :hello:

Did everyone have a lovely time and avoid traffic jams over the bank holiday? Hope so!

It's still here too!! :cool:

Great - please hang onto that big yellow ball if you can; am enjoying not being frazzled by it and able to get loads done in the garden!

Glad you got the trees planted. And I'm sure you would have PCs full approval on the position

Yes, it was a relief to finally decide where they should be planted - both trees look great and are already putting out new shoots!

Just a few hours instead then?! :rotfl:

Haha; it was one of those parties where the hosts are surprised by hungover revellers who emerge from the campo days later..
Even a few hours of music at high volume would have been too much for me, alas, so am quite glad I didn't go.


Well, RTL has just visited us. He's been signed off as fit to work, has a new Doc who is continuing investigations but has already told him the likely diagnosis will be the one I was wondering about.

We're back with the other Docs this week; more blood tests for CD and hopefully Vet will agree to do a detailed scan of her neck, shoulders and right leg, which was missed last time due to her refusal to lie quietly on the table. [Maybe I should clear the dining table and practise lying upside-down with CD?**].
The signs are still very, very subtle, but they are there.

Also managed to book the van into the garage, so it's going to be a spendy end to the month. Just hope they've got the parts in stock and can sort out the oil leak straight away, as it's a ruddy long walk home if they want to hang onto it.

** CD upside-down, not me! :rotfl:

**ETA: Chunk removed 'coz it's just too sad; sorry folks.

Good morning Diary, :hello:

Today has begun with a major frustration that left me in tears..

Do wish people would stick to their plans! :mad:

..Feel as if I'm running a free cafe and drop-in hotel here, which is not good.
