  • Good morning all.

    Nicos, I hope the mouse was dead. I think my phobia of mice and their larger unmentionable cousins may stem from a cat that used to bring them into my bedroom alive and then "play" with them. That and finding a dead one in a little used handbag. To this day, about 50 years later, I have no idea what else was in the bag. The whole lot got thrown straight out of the window, which was fortunately open at the time.

    I have had 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep and feel so much better for it. I'll give Mr GF's ward a call at about 10ish, when the morning rush should be over and see how he is and what else he needs. I'm hoping that he's a lot better today🤞. I dread to think what the staff on his ward were expecting when I turned up to visit yesterday evening as several asked me if I was "insert my name" and that he kept talking about me. I know a few years ago, in a different hospital, with several broken ribs, when he was transferred overnight, he, while being uncooperative, kept telling the staff that his wife would come and sort them out. I wonder what they were expecting?? I hope they were pleasantly surprised when I turned up with everything he needed and, in ten minutes, had him sitting up quietly in bed drinking a cup of tea, after taking the medication that he had previously refused. Would you believe I have actually been called "bossy" a few times in my life.🤔

    I'll be back later.....

    • Thinking of you GF and Mr GF, hope he is home soon! ❤️
      Morning, it’s a damp warm day today. Nothing much on the cards as we are waiting for the gas engineer to service the boiler! They are coming in the afternoon so have the morning to tidy round. Needs must.
      Have a great day folks!! x

        • Morning all.

          Hope Mr GF improves and gets back home shortly, GF. Being bossy can be a very useful skill at times. If the cap fits, don't just wear it, own it.

          Hope you're doing OK, Rary.

          Good luck in the storms, Nicos. Hailstones that size can be really destructive. We're due some today as well and Mr Snoop has been instructed to find blankets to cover up windscreens and the like.

          Right, I've got work to get through today, so better make a move.

          Have a great day, everyone.

          • Good Morning All Sunny here. Hope Mr GF makes good progress and good luck to Rary. I did consider a travel kettle Nicos, but I'm sure the tea wouldnt taste as good as when someone else makes it! Have a good day

            • Good morning all. After about 12 hours of rain, it's finally stopped, it must have been the wettest day for a very long time.
              Out to inspect the garden and do a slug snd snail patrol..

              Rary, wishing you good luck and hoping all goes well for you.

              GF, hope your Mister is looked after and gets home soon.

              Grory hop, a trip to the post office and some gardening today.
              We are out to friends house tonight for some drinks and nibbles.
              Have a good day and enjoy the sunshine, those that have it.

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.

              • Afternoon!
                Yup, fortunately the mouse was indeed dead GF

                I’ve just been creating my own personal sauna…by sitting down on the gravel pulling weeds Not exactly hard work, but it was in full sun.
                It’s clouding over now…and our orange storm warning has been upgraded to red
                Looks like the rain has already hit you bramble- clearly heading our way now as the sky has clouded over and everything has gone very calm.

                Anyone fancy a cornetto? Vanilla or chocolate flavour…..

                • Good afternoon and what a change from yesterday.
                  it's 21 degs...so long as it lasts.
                  Nicos, I hope the rain is not too severe and spares damage to your plants.
                  Its hard to believe we are heading towards the longest day.

                  Having a break now so I will have a cornetto, vanilla please.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,

                    • No thank you Nicos, I'm just having my first cup of tea today and have said, heavily sighing, "I do miss my morning cup of tea" in the earnest hope that Himself will take the hint.

                      • Can I have one too, Nicos? I've just sent in a piece of work and an ice cream as a reward wouldn't go amiss. Chocolate for me if you've got one.

                            Thanks. Very nice.

                            Just to be clear, I'm not proposing to apply it like ointment to my legs. That would be very messy.

                            How are things going, greenishfing? Hope all's well.

                              • Loads of ongoing storms here but we didn’t get it as badly as other parts. Hopefully this is the end of the storm…and so far no damage!
