sunnyday

louby - we used to have a 'C word' party - complete with a red suited gentleman (!) to give out pressies - parents very kindly made the food - was always a lovely way to end the term - oh and an entertainer - always completely 'stress free'! Obviously you need a 'budget' for pressies and entertainment - not sure if that would work for you...

I should think so too - dreadful behaviour from louby! Mind you I am knitting a Nativity set for my Godson's class - he teaches SEN Reception - so it is sort of on my mind 🤣

Sue...Sue...Sue - louby is using that C word again!

Good morning - 'tis Friday (again) How is everyone? Fairly busy day here today - Mr S is playing taxi driver for one of our daughters-in-law, I have a hair appointment booked for 12 and then later we have the delight of visiting our surgery for RSV vaccines...I understand why Mr S is getting one ahead of time but not quite sure I have been offered one - to protect him perhaps, who knows, I will just go along with it... Youngest granddaughter started secondary school yesterday (no idea how that is even possible) she had a great day - phew! Lovely to see the grass greening up nicely amazed at how quickly that has happened really. Hoping to spend a lot of time out in the garden this weekend... Hope the weekend is kind to all x

I will keep everything crossed for you both x

Yep, my swimming/drowning could be considered artistic too 🤣 Have a lovely time with your sister and mum and dad I have read just one Dear Mrs Bird book - I think that was on your recommendation - I loved it, will look out for others... I am currently reading 'The Measure' by Nikki Erlick -extremely thought-provoking

Ah louby do you remember that I used to send my TDL to you! So pleased to hear that you are looking forward to going back. Yep, 'artistic swimming is indeed synchronised swimming - she will be in a 'squad' so not solo...

Good morning - 'tis Friday Goodness another week has just flown by - can't believe that the children are back at school next week... Hope those that are still working have completed their TDLs and have got their work bags packed 🙃 How sad is the loss of Dolly Parton this week - wonderful lady who spread love and light in a world that seems so full of hatred... I need to get my hearing checked - here is a conversation that I had with my DIL yesterday: DIL: did we tell you that ***** was having a trial for 'autistic swimming' she has been accepted Me: er, no, what do you mean, what is 'autistic swimming'? DIL: Artistic not autistic 🤣🤣🤣 Hope the (long) weekend is kind to all x

S'cuse me you have - you had a break and why not! x

Good morning - 'tis Friday Not sure that I have any news really...I am enjoying the dip in temperature - I am not 'built' for 30+ degree heat! Hope that the weekend is kind to all x

Sending every good wish to her and to you xxx

How is your mum doing zigzag?

Thanks louby - yep we are back on (until the next time!) poor people in Cranbrook and Benenden are on their 5th or 6th day now without water...

Oh no dear zigzag - your absolutely wonderful mum, I'm so sorry - sending lots of love and hoping for a good recovery for her xxx

Aha - i know why now - my dear friend who lives at the 'top' of the village rang and said "did you know they are using tankers again to fill the system" - brilliant!
