Good morning 
Thank you for the start @ScarletRibbons

Feels quite cool. Going on my walk this morning, we usually have coffee afterwards.

@mehefin hope you had a better night's sleep.

Take care

Morning again, still raining here, we need it though.

Hope you enjoy your walk SO.
Did you have a better night last night Mehefin, hope so or you'll be on your knees today!
Camelot, hope the funeral goes as well as these occasions can, and that you have a safe journey home.
Glad you enjoyed the cruise Izzy, but sorry about the sea sickness, it's awful.
We once went to Jersey by sea from Weymouth - what a terrible night it was, we both felt so ill.
Hoping you enjoyed the film themsthebreaks.

Spent yesterday morning putting more plants in various containers, it'll look nice I think.

Going with Dh to the hearing aid clinic this morning. While he's in there I'll go into a big Home Ba*gains that's nearby, and I'll visit my old friend up the road this afternoon.

That's about it for today, hope everyone has a good day, take care folks.

Morning folks and thanks SCARLET for starting us off.  More rain fell through the night with more forecast on and off throughout the day. I know we all needed it but I'm getting a bit fed up of it now!  I finally get into gear and caught the bus down into town yesterday but by heck there was a sneaky cold wind blowing. 

REDRUBY, it was nice of you to ask about DF's DS. He is doing remarkably well, they are pleased with his progress. He was moved from intensive care at the w/e onto a ward and DF is still sending me daily bulletins. He still has numerous drains etc in but some now removed. A speech therapist is teaching him how to talk again. Still being tube fed but was tried on soup and jelly yesterday. He has lost a lot of weight so a dietician now visiting. So it's now onwards and upwards.

No fixed plans for today but the usual pre Friday tidy of kitchen and bathroom is in store. The tall freezer is looking long overdue a defrost so that may, or may not, get done today! I hate that job.  Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for those in want or need. Take care all, stay safe xx

Morning all

Its raining here and feels quite cold this morning more rain due off and on during the day. I have Rob coming and we are going to work I’m sure they will have something to keep us busy, 

Im not sure about dinner tonight dd is off today so I’m sure she will cook, it might be a spag bol or something  similar.

I have put a wash on this morning it will have to go on the airer though, I hope those few nice weeks were not our summer 😳

TA I’m glad he seems to be doing well it’s such a lot to go through xx

Have good days all and take care xx

Morning all

Had a bit of rain earlier but expected to be dry for the rest of the day but the wind gusts are still there grrrrr

Nothing planned today except some housework and keeping an ear out hoping our skip will be taken away today.

Hope everyone has a good day and Mehfin is still in the land of nod catching up on his sleep x

Morning all and thanks for the start @ScarletRibbons x

I’m off to the community allotment this morning as they need some weeding doing. Will see what goodies I can harvest to bring home. Then it’s haircut time. I’ll be pottering here in between including sorting the ESTAs for our trip in the autumn. 

Enjoy your walk @silver-oldie 😊.   

Glad to hear DFs DS is making progress @TravellingAbuela and hope you enjoy bus day x

Sorry to hear about the sea sickness @IzzyBee but glad you had a good break x

Have a good day all

Morning all

No idea if/when I posted this week. Finished up feeling completely exhausted for a couple of days - combination of work last week and visitor at the weekend I think.   

Have managed to make 3/5 pairs of curtains for the campervan - not 100% satisfied with them but already fed up of making the. - might tweak them in the winter! 

Very windy here which won’t please Bdog!, the rain has been welcomed by the garden but now everything is growing like mad.  

Take care all

Morning everyone I’m still feeling a bit odd when I get up to go to the toilet through the night and at odd times through the day everything is still swaying what a wimp anyway never mind I’m off to a cleaning job it’s the lady who’s hubby isn’t well he must still be with us as I haven’t heard anything I managed to get all my washing done yesterday it is all dry and put away now pleased about that as it’s tripping down today . Mehefin I hope you have managed to get some sleep it’s awful when sleep will just not come I’ve always been a poor sleeper and when I have bad spells it effects every part of your day . Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Morning all, thanks Scarlet - raining here too. It turned out quite pleasant in the afternoon yesterday.

Camelot hope all goes well today .

Izzy - just read about your trip, what a shame you felt so wobbly. Travel sickness is horrible, I always used to have to take tablets for long journeys.

Can't remember who said they were doing a photo wall, but I'm in the middle of doing the same. Already compiled one of the dogs we've had over the years with Ly1a taking centre stage but now going through old photos deciding which family ones to use

We are off to M/cr on the train later to meet up with friends, organised weeks ago but we are eating at a Greek restaurant  , only just got used to English food again after our hols!

Food delivery imminent, better go, take care all.

Gers

Morning all from a horribly rainy Gers Towers. Yesterday I took a gamble on the weather and put on the washing load when I got home. The gamble paid off as it dried beautifully - a combination of lots of sun and the high winds had it all dancing around on the whirly. Happy day.

Last week I rang our audiology department about my hearing aid as it needs a wee tweak. Yesterday the technician rang me to offer me a cancellation today in Campbeltown which I grabbed. It's a trek and a half but I have nothing pressing for my time so I'll be off soon. The usual lovely drive down won't be too lovely but should be brilliant when on the way back when the rain and mist has cleared.

Great news @TA.  Must dash, sorry. Hugs to all.
