Breaking Through, Travelling On

Hi Al :wave:

A lovely day was had yesterday - quite a bit of "incey wincey" was played :rotfl: we had a tour of the flat now its been renovated, lunch by the Thames (try being with a Frenchwoman at a Cafe Rouge, its quite funny, no matter how hard she tries to not parade it :rotfl:)

The railway network gave us a fair few problems, and Victoria was **horrendous** - so overcrowded _pale_ I think I'd make an effort to get there earlier another time. Just been reading an article in The Guardian about tourist destinations being overwhelmed by numbers, and I'd say London coul be added to that list.

Still, twere a lovely day, really glorious. And omigod, how I slept, last night! Fantastic :rotfl:

Erm, rain again today ... still tired, so I think it'll be a home-day today, and back to work tomorrow, rats. I *so* want to retire

Good job you went yesterday and not today - weather is awful.

Have a good rest, Tilly x x x

Hi Tilly, when you're right, you're right! Exactly what I've been muttering to myself :T even the walks between the stations, or the platforms, would be soak-making.

I shall do a bit of cleaning in preparation for clients tomorrow, and a lot of future plotting, for my retirement

Must remember that I didn't buy the ticket in advance as I'd said I would, and found out that you can't buy the cheapest tickets from the machines - thats the super offpeak ones. You can only buy them online, or at the ticket office. Lesson Learned

plus I bought a day return, not a travelcard. Luckily, I was going to Victoria, so I went to the office before the barriers and exchanged - refund of £4-odd returned to me.

That is what Mr GG was alluding to

. But purely in the monetary sense, not 'I'll see if I can buy a composting solar hoover ' kind of way :rotfl:.

PS - mould update please

The planning! I adore planning, its a favourite activity of mine :rotfl:

Ah ... I worked on a bit yesterday - I can only do a bit at a time - and because I only do a bit, I didn't change from my usual clothes. Which meant the bleachy stuff spotted my proper clothes

A rethink is needed.

Certainly, my own priority is weeding - I never got to the back of the border last year, so a *lot* of weeds have taken proper root. But I do appreciate your concern over my health :kisses3:

ETA - neighbour's cat has reappeared, and had her kittens, three of them

all safe

Cute on the kittens front.
Did you have to mention weeding? I need to do some!

[Deleted User] · 29 July 2015 at 1:30PM

I'll have to do some too, Watty:(. This damp weather seems to have made the weeds grow ten times as fast as usual and if I wait for OH to do it we'll be swamped by them:eek:. Can't say the same for the runner beans which seem to be struggling to make much progress on their climb up the canes:mad:

Great news about the kittens and their Mum:j. Aaaawww, I love kittens. So sweet. What colour are 'yours', KC?

As for the weeding ... I made the border quite deep when I got here, before I fell so ill - and then abandoned it during the worst of the illness, almost completely. Now, its recovered to the extent that I'm weeding *behind* the first set of plants, so I'm about halfway in to the depth of it. There's a *lot* of weeds yet to come!

Kitties: mum's a tortie, dad's a ginger, I think the kitties are 2 tortie and 1 ginge - I'm not having any :eek: truly, I'm not. I'd like nothing better, but between potential illness, and money, it would be crazy. When I get spare energy, I want to go *out*, I've missed so much already - I don't want another reason to stay home (which is what a kittie would be, seeing as wot I lurves them) ...

Stay firm about the kittens. I love my two cats and when I got them I really believed that I wouldn't retire until 65, when they would have shuffled off to cat heaven. Now, at 54, I am feeling very guilty about leaving them with cat sitters so much.
