Morning, It’s wet n Windy…Very windy, the kind of day I normally grumble about but this time I’m glad to see it. Not going out today as I’m really tired, didn’t sleep well, might catch up on the TV stuff I recorded.
Enjoy the weekend folks. 
Hello All
Sorry for ignoring you for so long.
I am told we have a new resident arrived,
She will be on the same table as me for lunch today.
I am told she is something of a legend, this should be fun.

Hi Swims good to see you again. Hope your doing ok. 
Hi Rox,
Lovely to speak to you again.
Nope, not doing OK, End Stage Heart Failure, very similar to Stage 4 Cancer, no more Surgery, the 31 Pills a day are starting not to work.
Bizarrely to some , I am starting to enjoy it.
The Bosses can no longer hold me to ransome about my Pension, it is o longer a threat, if they try to stop it they could not withstand the publicity.
All good fun and knowing that you will die soon is a great liberator.
Absolutely no point in dying miserable, have some fun and die happy.

God I’m jealous.
Oh Gawd, I hardly know what to say as I know nothing will help. My own heart operation 8 months ago scared the life out of me, but it was very different to your own troubles. 
@swimfeeders … great attitude Swims !
I’m not sure I could manage it.
You’ll have to tell us all about the new resident … I bet by the end of lunch you’ll have fathomed all her secrets.
Morning cooler here boo. Swims sorry to hear your news something noneof us wants to hear.
Morning, Dull and cloudy this morning but still warm and humid. Everything was soaked when I got up so we had a good dollop of rain through the night.
Heading out with the Clydes after lunch but Dunc says Dunnet Forest not the beach.
Enjoy your day folks.
Good afternoon Folks,glad to see the rain over the last couple of days,the gardens needed it,
Not been up to much lately,just the usual housework/shopping/cooking/visits from the Clan etc’
I’m less inclined to log into the two social sites I belong to as they’re just not as SOCIABLE as they once were…so…I’ll see Ye A’ around sometime.
Take care All.xxx
Evening we had a few showers here today but not really heavy ones. Went into town today but it wasn’t that busy, bought a few things and then caught the bus home. May sorry you wont be posting anymore on here.
Evening, Been a very quiet day for me, didn’t even go to the pool. I slept a lot instead and still having trouble staying awake.
We went to the forest with the Clydes yesterday and I found a new bench, it made me laugh for ages.

@May … get yourself back here … no one escapes or gets early release you know! Tssk …tell her ladies.
Dull and dismal here today but it feels like it’s warming up again … and the rain we had yesterday was pathetic, not enough to fill a thimble.
Good morning. Morty I agree with you we need May back here. Rox nice little bench to park your behookie. Had some rain here this morning and its windy, hope I can get some washing out on the line. Hairdressers later and then some shopping, I need milk in case my niece and nephew come round they like baby tea.
Morning, Another dull windy day but it’s rained through the night again so that’s saved me a watering job. No pool again just didn’t want to go, think I’m going to take a break from it for a while.
Will walk to the village shop for my exercise today instead, only need bread n milk, not enough to visit Tesco.
Enjoy your day folks.
Morning ladies …
Grr … the hot weather is coming back here. Still no proper rain again either.
I’m off into the village for a few bits and bobs. Not doing much,
@Rox … you sound a bit down lass. Is it this weather we’ve had getting to you? I’ve felt quite sapped of energy since it started if only because I don’t feel like I’ve had a decent nights sleep.
I’m actually looking forward to autumn this year.
@May … if you’re looking in …gooee! You have to come back. Think of the morale of the other inmates.

Morning, dull and cloudy again but rained through the night. Just catching up around here today, nothing exciting. Came across this in the paper today, no wonder we loathe bloody tourists. 
John O’Groats has seen an increase in the number of visitors that have been coming to enjoy the area in the last couple of weeks, but along with this comes some very challenging issues, where a very small minority don’t seem to be able to behave in a normal manner. Last night the public toilets had 3 hand gel dispensers broken and the bottles of gel stolen, then this morning sometime between 5am and 7.30am someone decided to swing on the Orkney finger-post of the famous John O’Groats Signpost and has managed to snap it off!! The signpost was restored and painted earlier this year already at a considerable cost and was looking well all fresh and clean, but now we will need to have it removed again and welded back together thanks to some thoughtless folk. We don’t know who is responsible but have had photos shown to us of people swinging on it the last few days, which would have increasingly weakened the post. If anyone should know the offenders in the photos maybe they could contact us and offer some payment towards a now costly fix of the sign, and also an apology to those who will miss out on their photo at the sign when it goes away for a couple of days to be fixed. It really is such a shame when a few clowns ruin things for 100’s of others!!!
Hi
May I suggest that there is a much cheaper and longer lasting idiot deterrent available.
It is called razor wire
Placed on the top edge of the signs it is not proven to be illegal.
