Great news!!
Thatâs good news Carol, one shower fixed.
Morning all, looks like the weather is a bit better this morning.
Not going out today, apart from taking Poppy to the Vets.
Have a good day all.
Morning all.
Hope Poppy behaves, Susie.
Good morning all.
I donât want to disappoint you lot in the east, but I can see a band of heavy cloud coming this way from the west.
It was nice and sunny a while ago when we went out, but now it is looking, 
ug.
My cleaning lady should be here at 10 for 2 hours. Itâs my daughterâs fault as I did not mind doing the cleaning, a bit every day. But Lisa the char, she does do a good job.
There is another coffee and chat on Friday at the same place as the Wednesday one. But this one includes lectures. Yes I shall go, as it is free.
Good morning everybody.
Karen & Sue are coming this afternoon to help us get straight. Mostly stuff they carried upstairs for us when the decorator came. Theyâre going to carry it down again & put it in place. About 100 of Tonyâs jigsaw puzzles & stuff like that which was on the shelves.
Yesterday I cleaned all the wall pictures & rehung them.
The cardiac rehab nurse phoned me this morning & arranged for me to go for an assessment. Iâm looking forward to joining an exercise class with other people. After that I should be able to resume my swimming etcâŠ
Have a good day allâŠ
I think the wet weather will get to us about 5, 6pm. Just when I do Hollyâs third walk, so reckon I should get her out just before.
Just finishing another load in WM, bed linen, and will set dehumidifier going for drying. Prepped veg for roast meal, chicken out from freezer to defrost. Popped a few home made sausage rolls into the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to heat up (rather yummy), and having a coffee, while I contemplate my next move. Oh, got plums on the hub, for a crumble.
Carol, seems you are well on the mend. 
I had that problem but solved it by buying a bath step .They donât slip on the floor .

I do have a grab rail fixed into the wall tiles too which gives extra safety as I step in and out .
I think I am Jazzi but mustnât speak too soonâŠ

Morning folks.
Well, might try going to the allotment today, see what I can dig, whether to put onions in. I have a section under a tarp, which might be the best place to start, and then move the tarp to another section of ground.
I really need to show willing that I am prepared to work on the plot, rather than just leave it.
Good morning all.
Blue sky and sunny here at the moment.
A busy day for me. Going to the Friday coffee and chat group at the AgeUK hub. There is a meditation class or lecture there this morning. That should be fun⊠yea right.
As usual, lunch with my daughter at Morrisons, and dinner at her place later.
Good morning everybody.
Weâre out to lunch today with Ady & Paula.
I must be back before 3.00pm as expecting a Morrisons order courtesy of Amazon prime.
Jazzi have a good day on the allotment.
Have a good day allâŠ
Morning all, lovely and sunny here.
Have been out this morning to Aldi and have done our weekly shopping, then went to the Tropical Fish shop, just to look around, then back home, now playing with Puss.
Have a nice day all.
Carol, I was only out about an hour, not including change of shoes at the car, and walking to/fro the site. The path leading in is a bit of a trek, too.
Rather annoyed because Iâd intended putting onion sets where the tarpaulin had covered an area, started diggingâŠand brought up old onions!! Grrrr. You have to follow the four year cycle rule in gardening, so I canât put onions in that section for 4 years. I now have to dig grassy areas.
Most of the ground fabric had blown away from the pegs, so I put them back, then after lunch, coffee and a shower, walked the dog past where she goes to carer, to the car spares. Chap next door had bought a tarp this morning so I went for some. Unfortunately heâd bought 1 of the 2 larger size, so I also got next one down. And bought the only 2 packs of ground pegs. Will go to allotment tomorrow to put them down. We are expecting rain on Sunday.
Now relaxing on sofa with a welcome cuppa, dog beside me.
Good morning all, I thin k its going to be a nice day today.
Rob is taking me into Town this morning, then picking me up again at lunch time at Tesco, being that we donât have any buses.
Have a nice day all.
Morning all.
Enjoy your time in town, Susie.
Hoping to get to the allotment later, put down the tarps.
Happy Gotcha Day for Holly, 5 years. Been updating on FB, photos and a vid clip.
Good morning all.
Well itâs not too bad weather wise here at the moment. But I donât trust the look of the sky and the clouds heading this way from the west.
As usual for Saturday, laundry day. I think I am getting paranoid about the energy cost, so only doing one wash and saving the heavy stuff until I get more.
I have set up the thing that came with the smart meter, I shows what energy I am using and the cost. It is telling me now that I am over my budget. Eh! What? What budget.
I donât know what my daughter has planed for today, but I expect she will drag me out to go somewhere.
Good morning everybody.
Iâm cooking a roast chicken dinner today & plan a walk round the local pond with Tony.
Maybe do a bit of dusting & tidying.
Have a good day allâŠ
For mothers everywhere
Congratulations. You have gone through five hours of labour. In which St.Nick himself used his pitchfork to evict your 6lb gusset gremlin.
Here is your baby.
And they are correct.
Here is your baby. Your responsibility. And you didnât even have to fill a form out to check your suitability as a potential parent. A squawking, rather ugly, very red and a tad angry baby. Give it an hour or so and youâll morph from stunned, wrung out, soggy kitchen roll, to Diana, Warrior Princess, who will guard young Felicity Arogostina til death.
For the first three years you are the centre of your childâs world. You will love and hate each other in equal measures. But thatâs just because you refuse to let her stick her fingers in electrical outlets. And she wonât allow you sleep.
Then sheâs off to nursery. You can start drinking hot beverages again. She is still your baby and needs your comfort. Although she rebels ever so slightly that you do some things differently than her key worker. And not as good.
A teeny crack.
But then she starts school in a uniform sheâll grow into. In sixth form. Which is the exact moment your loving child turns into Hell Girl. The teeny crack is now a chasm in your relationship. Youâve gone from being her comforter to her nemesis. And her PA. Chauffeur. Cleaner. Banker and Jailer. You ground her more times than Jet2 grounded the flights to Benidorm last summer.
She speaks with forked tongue.
You speak with hissed expletives.
You look into the eyes of this alien for signs of life of your once little girl.
Who has been has swallowed whole and forced to swan off to university to study fucking media science. Media. Science. Nope. Utter twaddle. You wonder if thatâs where they fathom out where Love Island contestants hide their brain cells? Because it canât be in their teeny weeny swimwear. Thereâs not even room for pubic hair in those.
Youâve a bad case of empty nesting. Til the cuckoo pops back mid term to tell you all the things your generation did wrong. You believe the biggest wrong you did was to breed and produce Twatface.
There is now a canyon between you. And it takes all your restraint not to push her over the edge. Because Lordy sheâs convinced she can fly.
She gets a job in cyber crime. The Miss Marples of a big black hole. She marries Poirot.
And as sheâs cutting the cake on her wedding day you suddenly see that child who needed you. And by the time sheâs given you your first grandchild you are closer than youâve been since you were both attached to the same umbilical cord.
Of course you also recognise payback time. In the eyes of your tiny cohort lying in the cribâŠâŠ
