The Compers Inn (part 48)

Morning. Some rain here but we didn’t hear it. Some benefits to the hearing going.

Alfie Monday for tips is a big mistake. Indie the online grid of busy times sounds very good. We have loads to go to the tip and our tip is miles away. DH refused to pay the annual £90 saying we would have too much for one bin. We only have a small garden as big garage at bottom of it. We have a card for neighbouring borough’s tip.

Alfie you and my SIL were very lucky with the weather for holidays.

Indie pleased your DS’s girl friend enjoyed their trip. Sounds adventurous.

Yesterday, I visit a friend she was 92. She’s now very frail and can’t walk but very with it. She’s a twin and her sister is also in poor health. The sister is a nun and lives the other side of London but my friend’s daughter had taken her to visit her sister last weekend.
My friend needs a lot of care and is now in a very small home opposite her daughter, who has five children. The youngest has just left school so they are all able to pop in and see her and it’s easy for them to bring her home.
It’s turned out to be a great arrangement.

I also visited my neighbour across the road yesterday. She had had a fall in the garden last week which resulted just in a bruised bottom. Her neighbours were out but her DS was due to call so she had to wait 45 minutes for them to come to help her get up. She said she will have to put her little old mobile in her pocket in future.

She had been to the doctors in the morning, she has had heart surgery years ago and I don’t know what she said to the doctor but they asked her about signing a form about not being resuscitated. She said she is going back in two weeks to sign it. She hasn’t told to her sons yet. I looked up about this and had forgotten that the NHS a few years ago were asking GPs to ask over 75s about this. My friend was 75 last year.

Friend’s husband died of Prostate cancer nearly two years ago. Alfie well done to your DS and girlfriend on the fundraising. Guys hospital do a lot of research and my friend’s husband lived years longer than expected.

Better crack on here. Hope everyone is ok .

Morning. Very muggy here too.

Agree Alfie about those affected by floods must be dreadful.

It’s just been arranged that GKs in Scotland are coming to visit us for a week on 9th July. It will be great to see them. They are coming Tuesday to Tuesday so they can have a weekend with other GS. He doesn’t know yet.

Let’s hope this weather cools down soon.

Morning
I have been working the last couple of days so time to catch up.I had to laugh at your daughters quick response to you doing a skydive Alfie. I would have replied," no i won't do that but am doing a bungee jump instead".lol
That will be lovely to have your GK's for a week leanfun.I am sure your other GS will love playing with them over the weekend.
I have a busy day ahead, take son to Dr's as he has to do another poo test as the results are back from the bi-opsys they did and they don't think it's crones So they want another test. He has a scan on monday then hopefully we can get into see the consultant in the next few weeks.
Then i have a big food shop to do. I am down to work all weekend so need to fill everything up. I came home last night and DS and GF had done all the washing got it dried and put it all away so don't need to do that today.Anyway, better go and water plants before it gets too hot. Hope you all have a good day.

Good afternoon :hello:

I decided to wash my car this morning before it got too
warm, didn’t realise how long it would actually take!
:rotfl::rotfl:

He was filthy & badly in need of a good clean - I’ve not
long finished, no doubt the birdies will have splattered him
as soon as I stepped back indoors! Also found lots of weeny
insect poops all over him & as soon as I washed them off
more appeared. :eek: Still, tried my best! :rotfl:

It’s very warm here now. Just had a bite to eat &
now enjoying a cuppa.

Lol indie, how I wish I’d thought of saying a bungee jump. :eek:
:rotfl::rotfl: Busy day ahead then for you today, got everything
crossed for your ds, hopefully they’ll have a clearer idea of
what ails him when you get to see the consultant. How lovely
of ds and gf to do the washing yesterday for you. Good luck with
huge shop - I’m going to the supermarket tomorrow & if the
temperature outside is too warm, I’ll most probably be found
lurking around the freezer cabinets, making the most & cooling
off! :whistle: :rotfl:

Well done re gardening yesterday leanfun. I managed to give
my lawns a light mow in the morning and also tidied up the
grass edges & had a quick weeding session in the front - before
it became too warm. Then I retreated indoors & caught up with
comps.

Have a lovely time with your gs over the weekend. I agree, the
days are really flying by, just a couple of days until July!

Have a lovely weekend all, whatever your plans. Take care.

Great you are home and enjoyed your time in Cornwall and Somerset.

It seems even hotter here than yesterday. We expected GS here in the day yesterday but DD1 took him out to Leeds Castle. They came back exhausted from the heat. The house seemed much cooler yesterday as you opened the kitchen door the heat hit you. Very muggy today thought it was supposed to be cooler.

Hope everyone is surviving the heat.
