Hallo all. It's been a busy week getting organized for family, due here if not tomorrow late afternoon then early Monday morning. Granddaughter had rented an RV for the trip so she could bring some of daughter's things she'll need for her new place here; went to pick it up this morning, spent all morning doing a walk-through with the owner only to have the generator for the a/c fail before she even drove it away. Lots of frustration at that end of the freeway, so now they're supposed to pick one up tomorrow (at least that's the last I heard). Anyway, I've been sorting through the fridge and doing a lot of laundry and house-cleaning plus tidying up the garden as best I could. Am getting take-out tonight and have a nice Pinot Grigio chilling in the fridge.
Meanwhile, my sister seems to be on a fairly steady decline now with the hospice team giving us a two-week prognosis..... I so wish I could be back there with my BiL and niece. The Arizona trio put off their trip for 2 weeks because I was gone, and now it seems everything will be happening at the same time anyway...
Thanks all for posts - I really have read them all. And thank you Lindybird for the flower show pix. I really liked the arrangement outside the sales office. :-)
Had a pleasant, lazy day, although my OH cleaned the car and mended a couple of things which needed attention. I wiped down our railings which have bird poo on them where they like to perch. The sun went behind the banks of cloud this morning, but came out this afternoon and it was very warm. My OH dozed, and read his book, and I slept on the sofa for half an hour, then read some newspapers we brought with us. This afternoon I managed to shut my thumb in a metal door, not recomended! I managed not to draw blood but crushed it nicely - ouch!
Heather, that's sad about the sea eagles being accused of taking lambs which I'm sure is not true, they probably only take one or two.

Lynette: Hope things won't be as complex as they initially appear. Always good to see you. Hallo to everyone else. Absolutely shattered this evening after a busy day - even Ms. D has conked out early. Granddaughter made it safely back to AZ and will be heading back this way tomorrow with her Mom's favorite reclining chair. Now all we need to do is figure out how to get it to its final destination........
Our neighbours lilies are beautiful again.. . Rain here, in the night, and its raining now though not heavily.
Lynette, glad you finally got to have your appointment - hope they can solve the mystery!
Annette, please try and rest between bouts of activity!
Diane, hope you're not having too many techy issues.
