The Garden Fence - proper Old Style support and chat!

Well my jaw is unlocking and I can eat more easily. My teeth are almost back in alignment too. Think whoever mentioned - TMD was right.
Been to Doctor about swollen ankles today and my blood pressure is high - it was taken taken twice - so now I have diuretic tablets.

MrsCD

Glad you are slowly getting back to normal, Florenceem, and the doc has figured out what was causing your swollen ankles. Just don't take diuretics too late in the day or you'll be up half the night! (Ask me how I know!)
Yesterday, DD2 and I sat outside in the street until almost 10pm, having a cuppa and watching for bats. Our neighbour is convinced we're mad. We are, but just a little bit!

Evening fencers.

We moved again today, Beano slept for most of the trip. It was overcast and 15 deg so a chilly trip.

Desperately need a food shop as we're down to our last four meals.

Morning all.

A quick call this morning as I'm off to fill a few more bin bags at my old friend's flat.  I'll probably render a few spiders homeless as well.

Florence, glad your health issues are being sorted out.

Mrs CD,  the best people have a few screws loose.  They are the friends who are worth knowing.

Must go or I'll miss the bus.  I'll leave you with a thought, but it won't be a very thoughtful thought because I just don't have the time.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY 

When someone says you can't do it, do it twice.  And take photos.

Love the thought Monna.

Florenceem

MrsCD - on the second day of tablets but don't seem to be visiting the loo a lot more.
Mr F has gone out to visit a client - wearing a mask of course.
Finished one colour of dangly spiders for the craft fair.

MrsCD

Aahhhh, aren't they cute!😊
Glad you're coping with the meds @Florenceem.
@monnagran, you must be able to see the floor now! You deserve a medal for taking all that work on. I do hope your friend is managing ok ( with your help). Take care of yourself too.

monnagran

MrsCD, I can indeed see bits of floor, though only small patches here and there.

Juliettet, I'm glad that you liked the Thought yesterday.  I personally prefer the one that goes...............

They said it couldn't be done.
I smiled and went right to it.
I tackled that thing that couldn't be done.

And couldn't do it.

I was asked about making catnip mice today - decided it was a no from me. I have so many projects in line for the craft fair + today I was given a blue Ike. bag full of school uniform to label and alter.
Years ago when my children were at school - I  would alter a boy's blazer by sewing up buttonholes and attaching a button then making a new buttonhole on the other side for a girl. My Dil has bought a second hand boys blazer for her Dd  - I am worried that she may be bullied. My dilemma is  - shall I do the makeover on her blazer while I have it here to label? 
Finished more spiders.

@Florenceem - I'd ask your DGD, as it may be that she prefers a boy's blazer, or even that they no longer do different ones for the girls. We all used to get boys' blazers as having girls' ones wasn't cool 😎 and I noticed that my niece and nephew have the same style blazer now. My SIL says the school only do the one kind - no more bum-freezers for the girls!
