Over 50's Club Scotland

Morning, Just back from the Garden Centre…Soaked. I have a couple of landscapers coming tomorrow morning. I want the bottom of my garden cleared, matting stuff down, and a thick layer of bark on top. Also a wooden edge around the lawn edges down there, several big half dead bushes removed and taken away. Far to much work for me and Dunc simply doesn’t have the time. Bought a Spiera Bush for the corner and it’s now sitting out on the table getting a good soak.
Fingers crossed it’s dry tomorrow.
Enjoy your day everyone. :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh yes … I remember it well and don’t you have critical days when you change from the positive into the negative phase and vice versa? And it’s worse if two or more of the three cycles … Emotional? Mental? and Physical collide and occur together.

Japanese taxi drivers used to wear a black armband to signal to everyone that they were on a Critical Day … supposedly so customers were forewarned and could duck out. :grinning:

Had a nosey earlier. Naturally there are already free calculators available online.

Here’s where I’m at today:

I’m an emotional and physical wreck, but luckily nearly at the height of my intellectual powers. :rofl::rofl:

Ah yes - for me it was 50 Hertz. USA it is 60 Hz !

Good morning sun is out after all the rain last night. Rox when I moved here I had trees taken down and a landscaper to remove things and lay a patio. Now I have a gardener to cut the hedges and all the weeding. Its worth it because I’m not fit to do it.

Coolish, overcast-ish and occasional windy-ish ness here.

Not much to do today, so I didn’t do it.

Will get myself into gear soon and sort out the laundry and some chargers and cables for Mrs Dex who is going into hospital tomorrow for some tests to be carried out on Thursday. They don’t really know what’s going on with her despite CT scans and X-rays, so they’re going to involve some cameras next.

Sounds a bit worrisome Dex … I hope she’s not too anxious and they can find out what it is.

Cheers Morty. ‘Tis a puzzle.

Good morning. Been raining here but seems to have stopped. Food shopping as I want to stock the freezer up and I don’t have to out so much. Hope everyone is ok.

Good morning good People, a sunny /showery one here,

Was a bit upset yesterday when I heard one of My fav’ Authors Peter May has died…So feeling sad I looked on Netflix to see if I could find something to cheer Me up…I did…it’s a sitcom called ‘Leanne’…so so funny and I laughed all the way through it. :laughing:

Crossing My fingers for good news for Mrs Dex,xx

Hope You All have a good Afternoon,

Beautiful day here … bit breezy but lovely and autumnal.
There seems to be a load of wasps about this year though …and they’re all skinny looking.

Afternoon, What a morning of rain… Unbelievable. Took this pic from the car earlier this morning while having my latte at " The Front" BUT, the sun’s finally come out and everything is drying up. I hope this lasts so my Landscapers can get here and sort my garden.
Going to sit outside at the table for a while, been stuck inside too long the last few days.
Enjoy the rest of your day.:slightly_smiling_face:

You tell him Rox … he needs taking in hand.
All that rain made me shiver and shudder. So bleak and dark.
It’s lovely here today. I’m rubbish at taking photos or I’d prove it.

So, took Mrs Dex to the hospital and dropped her off at the door and went to find a parking spot, which, after 30mins of driving around the car parks I did. Then, I carried her overnight luggage (:flushed::roll_eyes:) up to her in the ward, which was second star on the right, don’t stop until morning distance away.

She told me that some miserable and po faced nurse gave her a hard time about arriving so early (the letter and phone call told her to arrive by 11:30 under the threat of having the procedures cancelled if she was late) since nobody would be interested in seeing her or get the ball rolling until at least 5:30pm.

So, having ensured her iPad was connected to the tortoise speed NHS WiFi, I left her to it.

Am resting today, and leaving things in a slovenly state until tomorrow, as is my right as a home alone husband.

Hope all your days have gone well.

Then there is nothing for it … we’ll all have to treat you gently and be kind.
I bet you’re missing her already .
