HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Last week's Chat thread is here.
No time for a post or replies from me, folks. Really, really busy. I'm sending good wishes to all. Heather: I hope your daughter is improving.
Everyone have a wonderful week!
Story of my life, Brenda, but thanks.
I have to go shopping early. It's predicted to be close to 100 F or 37.7 C today.Have a good day, all.
DIANE - stay cool! Get back to your fan asap!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Is it Saturday now? - I'm not quite sureWhen I rise from my bed, the day has no allure.It could be a weekday, it may be notBut what concerns me is, "Will it be hot?"
I've crashed the lawnmowerWhich is rather a b**merNow I'll need to raiseCash for another.The grass will grow~The weeds will flourishNo doubt, in the houseDust will add to the rubbish ~
Oh, save me from these boring choresI'd rather be just walking, outdoorsTalking to the Red Tailed Kite, orListening to the birds at night.
Far away, in London TownThey talk of rain which is coming down.Their Queen is radiant in her carriage -She is happily, still in her long term marriage!
We have no Royals hereTo stand and gawp atBut I have my wildlife whichI can talk at!!
So across the sea, we all are happyExcept for my grass,Which will soon be Cr**py!!
All the housework that is essential has been done, just had lunch while watching Trooping the Colour and youngest family have just asked if they can pop in for lunch!!
I would struggle if people invited themselves at such short notice. Since the family left home, we have little in the fridge for just two of us!
Have a nice time, Heather!
Raining again here, now - it drizzled that fine stuff this morning which can make you wet through even though you can hardly see it......
Really enjoyed watching most of the Trooping the Colour and the Balcony appearance. How those children have grown already!! Very cute. And Kate looks lovely with her hair up.
LMAC what a little beauty.
Benson has just refused his afternoon walk as it is drizzling. He did come out this morning though that was touch and go as it was damp!!!!
BRENDA will e mail bro again. Talking on the phone is not easy as he is very hard of hearing.
I made it sound worse than it was, LINDY! Can always rustle up a salad - usually have salad, eggs, cold meats and cheeses in fridge for our own lunches. Always tuna and sweetcorn and mayonnaise in the cupboard and quiches, home made soups etc in freezer so not so bad! I'm sure that most of us would manage, it is the thought of it that makes us panic lol. They brought OH a nice present for Fathers Day next weekend, as they won't be in Inverness then.
Sorry, didn't get around to planned replies today.Very tired. Had a pretty bad night, my OH had chest pain about 2am. He is the world's worst patient and after several night time ambulance jobs over the years - nothing found to be wrong- I feel that I have to try and decide what to do. I asked the appropriate questions and made my own observations. Result - probably connected with his gastro reflux disorder. He fell asleep again but I didn't!! He will make an appointment with his GP on Monday, just to check.( I am a nurse, not a doctor!)He has been bright as a button all day, loved seeing the grandchildren and is currently watching football and shouting at the screen.
HEATHER My OH is about to do the same. England v Russia. I will make myself scarce as I cannot stand football. Hope it is nothing too serious with your OH and that he continues to be "bright as a button"
Benson is very light on his feet and slips into places without us noticing- usually the garage. Just before we sat down for dinner I heard barking, he wasn't in the garage, he wasn't in the back garden. OH found him in the en suite!!! with the door closed.
