Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 31 July 2022

Annette - I am very sorry to read the news about your sister. You did the right thing to visit when you did and it must comfort you to know that she passed at home with her family. Thinking of you.
Lindy - I love afternoon teas but I do agree with you that we eat them at a very strange time.
I have had a very productive morning visiting various shops and the golf club. However, it got off to a slow start as I was held up by a nasty accident on the A55. We were in a queue for a long time as we got diverted off before we reached the scene. I do hope everyone is ok. A little delay is nothing really is it?

Rusty - we had to order it for 3.30pm as it was the latest time they would do it. I would have much preferred 5.00pm!

I lay awake for half the night, and felt odd - not indigestion, but just uncomfortable and wide awake. Never again!

Strange windy weather here, now.  Sudden showers and gusts.

Hallo all and thanks so much for sweet thoughts. I am fine whereas the UK family is dealing with an empty place on the sofa, in the kitchen, etc., which must be so hard. I'm being kept busy with car maintenance schedules and lots of various errands and odd jobs. Granddaughter and Ms. D head home Saturday and I think things will calm down a bit more then.

Take care everyone.

Annette- so sorry for the loss of your sister, but so glad that you were able to see her while she was alive.

ANNETTE: I am so very sorry about your sister's passing. I know you're grieving, but I hope you're at peace now. You did the best you could to support and care for everyone on both sides of the ocean. Try to get some rest. I know you have a lot going on with your daughter's move, etc., but be good to yourself. Sending you strength and my condolences. 

Lindy - looks delish. Had one similar at a local hotel a few years back. They are rather filling. Nice to have home grown beans.

PAT - You are so lucky to live close to ”Places of Interest”. I would love to revisit some I saw on my travels.

LINDA – That “tea” is more than a meal!!! My idea of a tea would be a cuppa plus one savoury & one cake. No wonder you took some home.

Yesterday MissJ & Dau tested positive to covid; so far Miss10 & MissL have had negative RATs. MissJ is enjoying lots of cartoons but Dau has a fever. We only saw them on Saturday and I am hoping that OH & I escape; it is almost 4 days.

Just a thought

Sometimes I talk to myself. Then we both laugh and laugh.

If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self employed. We’re having a staff meeting.

PAT - Thank you for the Chartwell info ! When I read it, I recalled reading about Winston building the wall - I may have seen a photograph of him at work on it.
