Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 2 October 2022

Rusty: Sorry you've had such a scare. My cousin had a detached retina and it was very worrying, but she said that the NHS were wonderful. She seemed to recover, although I didn't like to question her too much about what treatment she had as she was upset by the incident. I hope your problem settles down.


Diane: I'm sure you'll enjoy your break with the dogs, pizza & a comfy sofa! Don't think that your time has been wasted-- we all need "downtime" where nothing constructive has been apparent!

Annette - it's actually Cricket Club.. Oh dear, Annette, hope you manage to dump it with them in due course.

Rang the firm who are supposed to be putting soffits, facias, and drain and guttering up and apparently the original
order had got lost in the system. however they assured me a surveyor would be out to check on measurements which he did today. Said someone would give me call in a day or two to arrange to do the fitting but that scaffolding would be needed for the job and that the scaffolders could arrive a day or two before the job starts. We wait with baited breath!!

Diane - have a safe journey and enjoy your time with the dogs.

Rusty - sorry to hear about your eye trouble, do hope they sort you out and that it can be fixed.

Take care all and have a good weekend.

THE TO DO LIST
I fashioned a To Do list,
To help me plan my days -
It was supposed to stop me
Muddling round in just a haze.

I wrote down several things of note
And started to feel smug --
Alas, I had succumbed to just
A "Been there, done it" bug
For things which got crossed off
Were small
And I quickly found I'd not listed them All!

As fast as one went from the top
Three more were added to the number:
I had to resist
Just ripping up my list
Before I felt like I was going under....

Then I realised the truth
Something I should have learned in youth-
Action is the key to this
It's no good just having a good, neat List
To prevaricate we must desist!!

Lovely Lindy, and how true

Thanks, SunnyKate.

Good Morning. Sunny start here, so hoping to get lots done, LOL!! Have a good day, everyone.

The sun has come out here now. I am going to tackle my huge post holiday ironing and then this afternoon I am going to a funeral. It will be a celebration of the lady’s life. She was 101!!
My eye is rather blurry but it doesn’t hurt which I suppose must be good.
I promise is will reply to all the news as soon as possible. I was a bit thrown off course by yesterday’s events.

{{HUGS}} Rusty.

That is worthy of celebration, especially if she lived life right to the end.

Limpy's family is in shock at the moment.  One of his sisters died earlier this year.  Earlier this week her son, without warning, collapsed and died.  He was only 53 ........ my age.  Absolutely heartbreaking.

Clare: Geez. 53 is very very young in my books. How is Limpy?

Rusty: No worries re posts. Take care.
