Morning everyone including Mo :-) :-) :-) :-)

DET, the chiropodist is one I have found who has excellent reviews. The previous one has apparently moved to the south coast without even advising her clients that she was going. Anyway this one is much better and cheaper :-) :-) :-) :-) The feet are still a bit sore this morning, but that is not surprising as a lot of dead skin was removed so they are quite tender.

The marzipan fruits are for M's mother. I wouldn't be tempted to eat them as i don't like marzipan. I also managed to get the plant so all is good apart from having to suffer the footie this afternoon :-D

LG, you are a brave girl to be doing heavy work in the garden today. It is mega hot here this morning and I am trying to summon up enough oxygen to do the vacuuming :-D :-D

Morning YG that is why we are pottering off out for shopping this morning, having lunch out as usual then hopefully the bit I am working on will be in the shade. Must away so catch you all later take care in this heat <3

Tried to reply to LG earlier, but the ipad battery died. :-0

We've no plans for today, although we could go out for a coffee this afternoon. Morrison's might be a good choice as their cafe is air conditioned :-D

YG - glad the new person is cheaper and just as good. Its very strange that the old one didn't bother to tell her clients that she was moving. There's either something else going on, or she was hoping to sell the business as a going concern.

Thank you for accepting me back into the fold. :-D :-D :-D :-D

I can sympathise with YG and her tootsies. I wore a pair of shoes the other day and they ripped my feet to pieces. Not the same I know, but blooming sore. :-( :-(

Too hot for anything here, been out and got me shop, now guzzling water before they put a ban on it.

:-D :-D :-D

We've been sitting in the garden, in the shade I might add.
Apart from the sound of the lesser spotted ice-cream van, its very quiet out there. Even the birds think it's too hot to cheep. :-D
OH has had a bottle of beer while I've been glugging down a coke. A bottle of rose is chilling in the fridge. That should go well with tonight's yellow stickered burgers!

I have been pottering about doing odd little bits but too hot to do too much. OH is racing all day tomorrow so I am hoping to get on then. Just said goodbye to our neighbour as he has now finished getting the house ready for hand over. Such a nice chap we will miss him and a bit dubious of who will move in :-(

+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 7 Jul 2018 17:59

It’s sad when someone moves on, but the new tenants may be just as nice.
It’s supposed to be just as hot tomorrow, so don’t over exert yourself while OH is out. There’ll be no one around to tell you to pack it in for the day :-D

The neighbour has been round to tell us she’s decided to move. Although it’ll be a wrench for her, it’s a good decision to have made. Now she’s worried the neighbour the other side will be upset. Although that one might be a little sad, she told me a few months ago that she thought our mutual neighbour should move closer to her daughter. Tried explaining that it won’t happen overnight & may not even happen until next year!

We have been here over 30-odd years. We are the only originals left in the street. Most of the houses have been converted into flats, so it is a lot of youngsters moving in and out all the time.

I can remember when it was all fields around here...…………


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

We have lived here 35 years and had a few neighbours who have come and gone. We only had one problem lot but they did not stay long, thank goodness the rest have been really nice. I have his new address so we will keep in touch

Its a shame when older homes get turned into flats, but singletons do need somewhere to live. Looking at a few of the property programmes, some of the conversions don't have enough room to swing a cat, let alone have space for storage!

We've been here 34 years come the end of the year - the neighbour who has decided to move has been the only occupant since it was built, so c50 years. Of the people I know in the road, 4 others have also lived here since it was a new build. In addition, two more who grew up here, inherited from their mothers and moved back in at that point.

Just finished water the garden - it was the turn of the flowers today. The edibles do get watered every day even if it only with grey water.

Evening hope you're all happy with the football results, and chilling nicely with whatever you chose to drink of an evening. Been busy doing nothing...well been busy but nothing to show for it. Cooler here today only in the early 30's much better than the 40's last week. Thank goodness for A.C.

Morning all, I have been working in the garden since 7.30 before it gets too hot. Just popped in quick while I am making a coffee so catch you later when I flake out ;-) :-D :-D

Morning all

LG, it sounds as if you’re adopting a Mediterranean way of life. Up early, afternoon siesta (or at least somewhere in the cool) then back at it when the temperatures drop.

Caroline, it must feel a bit chilly after your higher temperatures. Unfortunately very few UK homes have AC. If only we did!

It sounds as if you’ve been having a good time, Ann, if you’ve been too busy to post :-D

YG, glad you’ve survived both the footy & time with the birthday girl! In retrospect, I wish we’d gone to the Mall for coffee. Even the national papers say it was deserted. Unfortunately, no air con :-0

YG Report 8 Jul 2018 09:32

Morning everyone :-)

DET, I'm not surprised the mall was empty :-D :-D I went to the outlet about 3 miles away early afternoon and there was a lot of traffic obviously heading home. By 2.45pm there was hardly a car on the road and a photo on FB of the M! with not a car in sight :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

LG, you have to be admired for being outside working so early in the morning :-0 :-0 I was still in bed reading and having a cuppa :-D :-D
