Cheapskate, lovely to have you back. Good luck with trying to understand what has been going on in your absence. I've been here all along and it's a complete mystery to me.

Ivyleaf, t'was ever thus with doctors and hospitals. In spite of all the computer systems that nurses seem welded to, in spite of all forms of instant communication, the left hand still doesn't seem to have a clue what the right hand is up to. Whatever it is they seem to keep it a deep, dark secret from the GP.

Silvasava. Quite right too. I expect everything to be Bristol fashion when I inspect the gin palace from the safety of the harbour edge.
Let's hope it doesn't happen too soon as I am obviously going to have to do some work on myself to make sure I measure up.

Camelot, would you like me to send up some of my corned beef sandwiches? They did the trick of shifting them away from our neck of the woods.

We also have a glorious day here. The dogs have had a rampage on the beach and are now sleeping it off. I intend to spend the rest of the 'day of rest' doing just that. Resting.

Monnagran, I feel so much better if even you don't know what's afoot!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl

Softstuff you're safe. I won't venture further south than Carlisle, your roads are too busy for me

Monna - I'm sure you are lovely just the way you are! When we meet up in the Pilot I will be the one in wrinkly clothes, scruffy shoes and frizzy hair!! The boat will certainly be tidier than me!.
Ivyleaf - do hope your brother get sorted and improves soon.
Yay!!! Softstuff is paying a visit - just bring us some of your sunshine please then Mardatha can come far enough south to wave at us.
Nice day here today, got a dental check up this afternoon and then back down to the boat with DS1 to scrub the seagull poop off the deck - oh the excitement!

I'm not usually around at this hour but DIL is off to work at the radio station, DS2 is at this very moment mowing the grass at a cafe on the front before the patrons arrive, and Pickle is curled up on the rocking chair in my room watching Peppa Pig.

Silvasava, regretfully I'm not lovely as I am. I can match you on the wrinkly clothes and scruffy shoes but fall dismally short on the fuzzy hair. If only.

Sorry about your 'net troubles Softstuff. If you can persuade Mar south of the border just let me know. It would be worth the trip just to clap eyes on her. Mind, it would probably take me as long to get to you in Blackpool, or wherever you end up, as it takes you to get here from t'other side of the world.

Don't know what I'll do today once child sitting duties are over. I have a pile of ironing, about 4 letters to write, cobwebs to brush off the vacuum..........or I could go back to bed.

Maybe a comfy chair in the garden for a snooze in the sunshine Monna? Get your dose of vitamin D too

Wrong softstuff we have a dehumidifier, it is up in the ceiling near the front door. It calls itself a heating enabler. It is on 24/7 because of the mould in the kitchen the bathroom and my bedroom.

To be honest I am not sure if is working or not as there is no where to take the water out. It does not appear to use any electricity as the amount used did not go up after I turned it on. I cannot hear it working but DS says he can. Sheets and towels do dry quicker near the front door the problems in the clothes horse is in the way of getting out.

Result, I gave away 2 mirrors today, only another ninety billion items to go!
Including 3 tv's, 5 wardrobes, 6 chest of drawers, 2 beds, 2 sofas and a cartridge in a pear tree!
I love the language my tablet comes up with, whoever heard of a cartridge in a pear tree, it's partridge, bloody stupid technology.

I read 'cartridge' and thought, 'I must mention that I put the old unused printer cartridges into a charity shop' ...
I thought it was quite clever.
I fell asleep after a mammoth tea of p i s saladiere and woke up about two hours ago. Off to bed now for my 'second night'. Apparently the Elizabethans did this...
