Happy Birthday to Janice <3 <3

Morning Mandy, not doing anything really special for OH birthday, He is at work till about 3 then Katherine and Jake probably will be coming down for dinner, not sure if we'll see Victoria and crowd as they popped in yesterday after shopping in Hamilton, Sofia stayed with me for an hour or so, She hates shopping and like most kids they always want something.

Better go and get my coffee, I had a phone call this morning it's Katherine day off work ,and they want to go out to Glasgow and could I do some doggy sitting, their leaving me Kiah lead so If I fancy a walk for some exercise I can take Kiah out , more than likely she will take me for a walk, she is a strong dog when she pulls, :-)

Oh Liz she must be missing her Mum and siblings :-(..Chester used to cry all night in his 'cage'.I couldn't bare it.I would lie on the floor just inside the lounge where he couldn't see me but could hear my voice(he was in the kitchen)...It made no difference :-S.it was bliss the first night of peace :-D :-D

Have to go to Holsworthy to buy a new pressure washer.................................

O yes HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANICE <3 <3 <3 Love and kisses.

I see the new baby got you up in the night then Liz. She will soon settle if she is with you at night. Must be a bit daunting for her at first. She is so lovely though I expect she will soon settle at night.

Our Gill has a virus which she got the day her mum went home. She has a headache, sore throat and is very breathless. She was going to try and get on here today but I said I would tell you all and she was to rest. She also said she has done a lot of sleeping. Best thing really when you feel like that and a good healer too. She thought it was hayfever at first.

So love and wishes for a speedy recovery now Gillx <3

Afternoon all,

Happy Birthday Janice 21 today again :-D :-D

I had a disastrous morning this morning. After my shower I was getting dressed and suddenly felt myself passing out. My pulse was going fifty to the dozen, and the blood was rushing to my head. I was putting my socks on at the time. So I laid myself down on the bed. Ros came in 20 minutes later to find out what I was doing for so long. I laid for an hour, and felt a lot better.

I have been banned from the Garden and Kitchen today, so all I have done is sit in the armchair, reading and watching Judge Rinder. (he makes me laugh) !!!

Glad you have heard from Gill Mel, If you are looking in Gill. All out love and get better soon.

One of our Poodles hated to be on her own, so slept in her box at the side of the bed. One of the other miniature ones slept behind Ros's pillow, or in the blanket fold in the bottom of the bed, where it tucks in the bottom of the mattress .
I do hope she soon settles in Liz. I know she will get plenty of love and affection.

The sky has cleared here now, and it's warm sunshine. Ros is still in the garden planting border plants, and freshening up the earth. Once she starts, she never leaves off. I look down the garden and there she is perched on her little stool bent over in the borders. She's also cleaned the greenhouse shelves and stacked the flower pots.

I have been able to make and take her a cuppa. I am now going back to my armchair.

Enjoy the rest of your day, see you later.

Poor Gill.She sounds really poorly.......Gill I hope you soon feel much better and are able to join us again soon <3 <3 <3

Frank did you have your shower too hot?.Maybe you tried to get dressed too quickly afterwards.I know if I have my bath water too hot `i feel faint and have to have a lie down.
I remember a few times when I was younger probably early teens I would have the bath water so hot that I did actually pass out.Dad would hear a thump on the ceiling and would come up to find me on the bathroom floor :-S

The sun has only just come out here.It has been overcast all day.My Sister says she has had wall to wall sunshine all day.Her Birthday has been a bit spoilt by having an emergency visit to the Dentist first thing this morning.She has an abscess .The Dentist wanted to take the tooth out there and then but she said "You can't it's my Birthday " LOL.So she has antibiotics and it will be taken out on the 21st.She is going to London tomorrow for the weekend to stay with her Son Matthew and his girlfriend Kelsey.

My James will be in the Dentists chair right now having his fillings done.Not good so late in the day as he won't be able to eat for ages.I was trying to think what to cook for him that would be soft.I decided on Creamy Mushrooms and Rice.That should slide down easily.
The garden has been watered..Everything is so dry.

I hav'nt got into anything this afternoon after bringing fish and chips home at 2pm after collecting the new pressure washer and getting chicken food. I think I was so full I had to sit at the pooter and play a few games of cards till it went down.

Then I was going to wash up but oh was using the new toy on the pond filters and bits so I could'nt wash up. I went and cleaned the loo instead after he came in for a rest.

Poor Janice with an abscess. when I get one I have a drop of Jamesons whiskey and hold it around the tooth with the abscess and that usually clears it by the next day.

¨‘°ºOO.o° I'm forever blowing bubbles...........

That just came into my mind. I don't know why!!

At least you now have a clean loo Mel :-D Now I am going to be having that blasted tune in my head :-S..Isn't it strange how when you hear the mention of a song or tune it just sticks in your mind and you can't get shot of it.it just goes around and around.

James is back from the Dentist.He had 2 of the 3 fillings done .He doesn't fancy my nice Creamy Mushrooms and Rice...So is going to have a ready Chilli con Carne.Chris can have the Mushrooms with his meal....Can't let them go to waste.
It has turned out a lovely evening.Chris is still sat out reading with a glass of wine.
Tomorrow morning we will be off to Olney to pick up Hannnah's Indian wall hanging .
Might just pop into the nice Deli there :-D

Oh dear Frank ,perhaps you've been doing to much ,a day in the chair sounds just right
you take care <3

And poor Gill not to good with a virus , you've had a lot going on with the house sale and looking after your mum ,hope your soon feeling better Gill and can join us on here again <3

Poor James has an expensive day then having to pay his fillings :-(

Better post as the page keeps jumping about :-S don't know why !!!

I see you are a "WEST HAM" fan then Mel, That's our theme tune :-D :-D :-D COME ON YOU HAMMERS.

Feeling better this evening after a very lazy day. Ros cooked a very nice stir fry with noodles. Went down a treat. She washed and wiped up and clean all down.

She's watching East Enders, so I'm out of it for a while.

Jane I never have a "HOT" shower. So I can't put it down to that. I think it was just bending over, it takes ages for me to get socks on !!!

More expense then Mel , a new pressure washer. Has it got all the attachments ? My new one only has two wands. I know some have no end of bits for doing so many things.

Poor Janice having an emergency on her birthday. She's got some pluck to put it off :-( :-(
I'm at the nurse tomorrow for my testosterone injection 11.40 am. I must tell her to put a plaster on my bum as I had blood all over my u'pants last time.

It's a very still evening out there tonight. There's talk of a light frost inland. All my beans are under fleece blankets, so should be safe.

I hope I can be of help in the garden tomorrow, will have to see.

Just watched the girls on The Island. What a daft lot and ones gone home already. Fancy not all staying together one of the worse things you could do.

Yes Frank I was a West Ham fan because oh and my son supported them but football dos'nt do anything for me I am afraid.

Going to watch Banished now as I record that.

Night night........

Morning SUNBEAMS, evening Kim,

Yes Mel, I turned over and watch those 14 women, what a mess they got in, Gawd knows how they will survive. I thought the JADE who went home was a right little madam. She must have known what to expect. FIFTEEN minutes of FAME :-D :-D

Great morning here, blue sky and a slight breeze, I think it will warm up later.

I managed to sleep until 5.50 this morning, and nodded off again till 7.30.

Madam is going shopping again with Carolyn, as she needs to get some bits to take to Tenerife. ANY EXCUSE !!!

All showered and ready for the nurse, then I might sit in the garden with my book.

Alan has been to collect the weeping cherry tree, and will put it in the spinney. When Tony has done the plaques I will give him one to put with the tree.

Have a good day.

Morning All and evening Kim,

Not so sunny here today but it is quite brightish if you know what I mean. We seem to have sun out the back and grey sky out the front. We face north. Still the solar panels are getting the brighter side which is good.

Nothing planned for today. I may sow some bean seed or I may go towards Cornwall and get some bags of compost. At Br**ks Nursary they do their own compost and it's the only one I really like.

Morning all, Evening Kim.

Sorry Mel, it's our turn up here to get the good weather, I am a bit scared to mention it really as I know it will change sometime, it was even warm enough yesterday to have a quicky BBQ with Katherine & Jake, OH was saying it was the first time he has ever had a BBQ on his birthday :-D :-D

Been to see the nurse at the doctors this morning , annual blood test for the kidneys , she took my blood pressure and it was on the border line, she was amazed, infact she took it 3 times, I have always been low. I have got to phone at the end of next week to get the results.

OH has started ordering his plug plants for the greenhouse, and the postman says if nobody's in , he will leave them in the greenhouse so I don't have to go into town to collect the boxes, there was 4 boxes this morning sitting on the bench, so glad the postman remembered to close the greenhouse door after he'd been in, it's like a sauna in there PHEW!!!! it's warm .

Morning/Evening All

Hazy sun here..Maybe some of the haze is this pollution.I think we are in the 'moderate risk' area.
We have just got back from Olney and I'm having a coffee before going to Tes**.I might have a look in Nex* to see if they have anymore nice loose light summer trousers.

BBL

Oh scotched ll my plans for getting my compost. He has me clearing all my plants off the decking so he can clean it all. This means I shall have to clean the old compost off the tops of the pots and replenish them with fresh.

I emptied out one of my BIG stone flagons and the water stank, on the last tip two dead mice came out!!! no wonder it stank..........phew :-S

Then he wanted lunch so that stopped play and now we have eaten it I am just having a cuppa.

Stuart rang to say my struts are in for my boot lid and to ring him Monday morning to see how he is getting on with the MOT he is doing and he will fit them after that.

Back stopped play this time. Oh's back............... :-(

Family here this morning to view our new baby!! Everyone thought that she was lovely and wanted to take her home!!! They stayed for a sandwich lunch, and then dashed off home as they're going in all directions for the rest of the day!! Back to School on Monday!!
OH getting the new tyres onto the Waggon this afternoon! He went to our new Dentist this morning and said she was first class! so that's good!!
Time for a cuppa!!
