  • Morning
    You often see nurses in scrubs rather than uniform these days let alone a Cape

    Well it's grey as grey can be here, damp in the air too
    No gardening anyway as I'm taking mum for her haircut and then maybe a cuppa after if she fancies.
    Enjoy your day.

    • Good morning.

      The sun keeps popping it's head out between the clouds. It' definitely trying.

      It must have been so uncomfortable and constricting for nurses in the old style uniforms, complete with black stockings and the weird little hats. I've never seen a real nurse wear a cape, only in carry on films.

      LD the cream didn't have to risk dive bombing my basket. It was already waiting in my fridge for a suitable partner. It's rarer than a blue moon that I run out of milk, cream or butter.

      My grory hop is arriving again this morning. They've substituted chinese leaves for my red cos lettuce. I think I can live with that, it's ages since we had a stir fry.

      Time for coffee now.

              • Yes Jay I,posted just before ten this morning and it has disappeared.
                The post this morning was to say that I covered my poly tunnel which I made using blue water pipe, as the wind was blowing a bit I thought I needed to make it a bit more secure, so going through my material which I have kept just in case, I uncovered a nylon net like a football goal net, which I had been storing for the past 25 years , ideal for the job, I have now secured the poly sheeting with the net which being made of nylon makes it strong enough to withstand high winds, so it pays to be careful and think to the future and not listen to those that consider such stuff as hoarding

                Just back in after being at the church coffee morning, after which we were up at our daughters for lunch, and to see our grandson who had a tooth pulled yesterday, and as he has a phobia with needles he needed anaesthetic, so was told not to be using any machinery,which ment he couldnt go to his work, I have told him to avoid missing a days work because of this in future, just let them approach him with a needle, when he sees it he will pass out so no need for anaesthetic, so able to go to work the following day
                Nicos I do hope Hibou improves over the next week, as pets being part of the family you do worry about them
                Righas its raining here so I cant get out to the garden I think I will go and annoy OH, on second thoughts I wont bother as she is sure to say "if you have nothing to do, you could go and tidy/clear a cupboard, drawer," or something along those lines, I will just sit quietly and read my book till I need to inspect the inside cof the eyelids, so keep smiling, and dont forget to pass the smiles along

                  • Miss, Miss... my morning post is missing too!

                    Probably just as well. I'm feeling very irritable today - justified, I might add - and I probably didn't show myself in a good light.

                    Have a great rest of the day, everyone.

                    • Mine has disappeared too, but nothing of importance. It was just to say everything is crossed for Hibou.
                      The chiropodist has been to Himself and he is amazed at the difference she has made.
                      It's been sunny all day here - hope you're all having a good day

                        • Hadn’t realised my post had gone too

                          Update about Hibou is more positive

                          We had a vet come to our home and she was with us for 1.5 hrs!
                          Altering some medication doses, adding more and setting her up for another X-ray and a heart ultrasound.
                          Basically it looks like her heart has thrown off clots into both legs and her brain, and she suspects there may be a tumour involved.

                          More tests next week should help diagnose more accurately and may need a further tweaking of medication.

                          I was so sure she wouldn’t make it to the end of this week, so any extra time with her…with improved health…is going to be a bonus.
                          She behaved impeccably with the vet…even hunkering down during unpleasant experiences. Just one little wimper when she needed a break. Such a love.

                          And do you know what…this vet was actually cheaper and way more thorough than the 15 minute appt at the surgery..and no stressful crying for half an hour each way just to be seen.
                          And best of all she reassured us that Hibou wasn’t ready yet to be put to sleep in the immediate future.
                          And nope- she’s never going to be as good as previously, but we’re going to value every second.

                          talk about relief

                          Yep…it’s been a good day chez moi

                          Please feel free to celebrate todays news ( if you need an excuse to raise a glass/mug)

                          • Nicos I’m celebrating with a hot cross bun and mug of tea.

                            All my morning posts have disappeared but I’ve had no problems.
