How lovely to read he's gone fishing, I know how much he gave up to make that move south and I know how much you wanted him to be happy again now you've gone back home to the north. I hope he has the very best day outside fishing that he has ever had, he deserves it doesn't he lovey? xxx.

Cheapskate

Morning all (just!) 🙂

Been away for a long while, just getting a tiny bit of time back for myself, so rejoining some fave threads. Last year or so have been a bit rough, to say the least!

Fuddle, sorry to hear about your faff from the GP, especially when he said it was in your notes!! Having been a GP receptionist, I know it can be hard, but I was very lucky in that my colleagues were spot on with patients, even the few incredibly nasty one!

Welcome back cheaps

Lyn would you remind me of the magazine you used to subscribe to? The eco/green/nifty ways one that I was reading back articles when I found out I was going to get the house. It's time to check in again and can I 'eck remember what it was called!

DH came 3rd in fishing. He's won £25 for his fishing upkeep kitty. There he goes He's chuffed with his bit self.

it's called PERMACULTURE MAGAZINE, based here in West Meon in Hampshire and well worth a read isn't it?

Well done that Fisherman, how smashing to be able to win enough to sustain your hobby and enjoy it too! very in keeping with the permaculture ethos! brilliant pet!

Ah thanks Lyn. I clicked the site and straight away I land on indoor toxin air purifying plants. Spot on. Thank you

Well done Mr Fuddle! I remember how much fishing he did in the past and am so glad that he has been able to pick it up again.

Lyn, your mention of West Meon took me right back to my early twenties. I started my teaching career in Langrish school, Langrish being the next village but one to West Meon. The school was actually in Stroud which made sort of sense at the time. I lived in Petersfield and a year after I started teaching another young teacher started getting on my bus as she was starting her teaching career in East Meon, so the Meon valley was our happy hunting ground. We are still good friends nearly 60 years on.
We both did a lot of bell ringing around those villages.......a beautiful place to live and work.

Sorry about that little trip down memory lane but Permaculture didn't feature while I was there. They grew a lot of watercress though.

Grey, cold and wet here this morning. I woke up at 5 to the drumming of heavy rain on the roof and couldn't get back off again. Don't know the cause but I triggered a massive migraine late last night and had to go to bed and lay in the dark and then out of nowhere popped an even bigger one this morning! I wonder if it's the screen time I spend here and we had the TV on this morning but it's not pleasant so I may have to spend less time reading and posting here and see if that helps.

Nell is having a meeting with the head this morning, she's put all down in writing and will give him the letter to officially go on 'file' in the records and is going to stop what she's not prepared to do any longer on the last day of summer term and NOT pick up anything in the summer holidays this year, it's not easy for her as she's very conscientious and it will feel like a betrayal of principles and a letting down of the pupils BUT I don't see what else she CAN do to improve her health. We'll see.

He Who Knows had his last meeting at the hospital yesterday to be checked by the anaesthetist and has the clearance for the hernia he coughed with the awful virus he caught repaired and is also on the list for cancellations so hopefully it will happen fairly quickly and he'll be fully recovered before we go to Iceland for our summer holiday.

We're having Maisie this evening which will be nice and Cookies parents are taking a weeks holiday sometime in May so we'll have her for a week again, she's a poppet so that will be nice too!

No concrete plans for today but I may get in to town on the bus to pick up a few odds that we need, have a good one everyone xxx.

Hope you feel better soon Lyn, migraines are nasty beasts and in my experience can be kicked off by a number of factors, sometimes stress, sometimes eye strain, even certain foods can cause one to rear its ugly head, take care x

Slightly later breakfast this morning as Capt S had an early start running his eldest to the airport, would you believe it cost £3.50 to drop off :eek: apparently there was a lot of people doing just that so they are obviously on to a winner. Have suitably soothed him with ham and scrambled eggs, think he's over the trauma
Went to BuryStEd yesterday morning, mainly to pick up something for my SIL's birthday but had a little browse as well, forgot it's half-term now so was a bit busier than expected but I did pick myself up a new Breton top, red and white so very jolly. Found a lovely scarf in the LA sale for my SIL which hopefully she will love.
It's just chores for me this morning and then off to the hairdressers this afternoon to tame my unruly locks, he's a lovely chap and have been going there for years, he furnishes me with tea and glossy mags that I would never buy myself whilst making me look presentable.

Right, girls have had the ham fat and coffee is all gone, have a good day everyone x

MrsLW your migraines may be a result of the fluctuation in air pressure over the last few days.
