WEEKLY CHAT (non-osprey) SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2015

Big boy/girl looking out from the nest

Evening all: Busy day today and more of the same tomorrow.

Rita: Can't believe you have to wait months (or even weeks) to see a orthopedic guy!   I wonder if you've torn the cartilage in your knee.  Sorry, but I forgot how you hurt it...   I wish I could help re the computer. Is it the same problem?  Really hope you can find someone to sort it out - I guess it's too late for any warranty reimbursement?   Don't think the fountain is too threatened at this point, but we are saving rinse and 'warm-up' water that we could add if necessary (currently we're putting it on various plants in the garden).

OG: Your day sounds a lot like many of mine of late.  Oh gosh, I have amalgam fillings from eons ago that are still hanging in there.  Had nice coffee and munchies with (Brit) friend plus lots of chat.  She's reworking parts of her garden for lower water use so we nattered about her options.

Lindybird: Let's cut to the chase: Are the sandals you packed doing the job? Hope the wind quietens so your hair will behave.

Heather: Let us know how Sheana is doing.  Turning off her phone sounds like a definite plan; after all, there's nothing you can do at that time of night and she is in a safe environment (and that sudden shot of adrenaline when the phone rings is downright scary). Is your OH fretting about his Tuesday appointment (will they put him out for the procedure?).

Brenda:  At least you were watching an actual bird and not the top of a telephone pole.  :-)  

Lynette: Do hope your Dau will find something that suits her better; must agree with others that e-mail notice was despicable and really does reflect on the character of the people she was dealing with. Sorry to hear about the church member.  Hugs to you.

AQ: Hope you're doing okay.

Off to daughter's first thing tomorrow, then back (with guinea pig) and then to volunteer gig, then to gym!  Have forewarned OH that it might be take-out for dinner tomorrow night.

Have a good Friday all.

Good Morning ALL. A frosty and lovely sunny morning. Our daughter is moving house today so I am so glad it is a dry day for them. When we moved here, it rained all day and I spent most of my time making sure the covers stayed on the new carpets and the furniture stayed dry.

Annette, You certainly do have a full day planned. A 'take out' dinner does seem the best a good option.

Diane, Spectacular photographs you posted on the Osprey Chat Page. I had seen some of them but not all. The East coast really is having an extremely bad winter.

Lynette, A very sad story about your church member. Good to see your daughter is solving her work problems.

Just heard from daughter that her removal people have already cleared the bedrooms into the van. We haven't been asked to help this time. LOL

Hello all

I hope to make proper replies this evening. My life is no busier than anyone else's and I read all your news but am lazy about replies at times. Sorry.

I am going up to see Sheana in about an hour or so. She phoned this morning asking me to bring a policeman with me as the Home are taking all her money and building a place to put her, away from everyone. Poor old soul. I will be speaking to the staff this afternoon, next thing she will be dialling 999...

Heather, sorry you are having to shoulder all Sheana's problems. You really do try your best, but  poor Sheana's problems have become so much worse. You do have your OH and family to think about. X

Hope the police don't nab you as the culprit. LOL

Annette - the shoes are working out fine!! :-). Sunny today but still so windy you can't even keep a hat on your head - they don't name this "The Windy Isle" for nothing! Plenty of people about, but they are sitting inside, in coffee shops, and scurrying to their cars. We managed to find a place to sit down & read that was peaceful, and did a little more food shopping. Don't know about lazing about, doing nothing: we do cook dinner most nights (go out about every 4th night) and we try to keep it simple so there's less washing up.....had omelettes last night and are on stew tonight. Enjoying some of the Spanish wine!! Nice to have the WiFi to keep in touch with what's going on in the world, as we don't buy newspapers.

PS -- but no ironing, hooray!!!! :-))

Have been trying to take a photo but struggling this afternoon, as the sun was too bright against the white building. Here is a pic taken two minutes ago, now its clouded over - the view out of our window....... (Taken on this cheapo tablet, not as good as a camera...)

Lindy, that looks wonderful.........grrrrrrr.  Roll on summer!!

I'm delighted you're in such a lovely place - and it's lovely to hear from you.
