    morning all, did anyone manage any sleep at all?

    we are over cast this morning as usual but the sun is making an effort.A nasty wind has also started.
    It's the Nantwich show today and traditionally it rains, some years it's called off altogether so we may at least get some cooling showers later

    biting my tongue off not to say something negative about the heat In the olden days when we had proper summers after a week or so of high temps we got used to it and adapted but now we only get a few days in a row we never get acclimatised

    finding something to wear is a challenge. Its too hot for jeans and literally every dress in the wardrobe won't fit as it all dates back to when I was lithe and slim before hormones took over, the last time we had a summer. Yesterday I had to resort to the cruise dress wardrobe to find something cool and cotton that would fit

    knee length skirts are fine for the garden, no one about to see me head first in a flower bed, rear in the air :) but then I need to find something respectable for going out later, unless it rains

    and all the effort of finding something to put on puts you even more into a sweat :D

    That's an interesting image mhoc lol :D

    Hope Stanleyboy is OK hampy

    Off to store wood before it gets soaked . Ok here to far though

    Can anyone offer advice? My display keyboard on the iPad is split in two, half to the left and half to the right with a gap in the middle. Checked settings but can't see anything obvious

    Morning folks!

    I love a good thunder and lightning storm, only ever witnessed three good storms though. Would love to catch a lightening strike on camera.



    :eek::eek::eek::(



    Give it a week tweets, you'll soon get use to it :)

    Wishing Stanley a speedy recovery :)

    Good Morning Westie :wave:

    I will persevere :)

    You know what you've done don't ya' :D You swiped down the centre of the keyboard with a finger to separate it. Does make it easier for thumb typing ;)

    Cant for the life of me remember how to put it back :o

    Edit: just drag the two sides of the keyboard with two fingers/thumbs in opposite directions. Then push together again to reunite.

    or Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Morning luvlies, another hot one here. Not caught up yet, our Stanley Boy has had an accident :(. He's at the animal hospital now awaiting surgery this morning, he has a very unusual break in his left hind knee cap as they are usually transverse, his is down the patella. Our normal vet x-rayed him yesterday and have referred him to an orthopaedic surgeon as they don't have drills small enough to pin it.

    Bless him, he came in crying 10 days ago and was hobbling about. Took him straight to vets and they diagnosed a cat bite and put him on antibiotics and pain killers. Took him back a week later as still hobbling about but didn't appear to be in distress as he's been climbing fences and jumping on and off bar stools :eek:.

    We have cover up to 2k per illness which vet is aware of and thinks it will come in less than that. If not we'll just have to swallow. Can't get him out of my mind, he's my 4th baby :o

    Will let you know how he gets on :)


    Fingers crossed for Stanley Boys op xx

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    The heat is sweltering here, please remember folks drink plenty of water :)

    Off to docs at 10am, then hoping to get some sleep, managed a couple of hours at most.

    Off to have catchup and coffee :)
