Glad to hear that Sunnyday. Thought of you when Cranbrook were on the news this morning and hoped it wasn’t your area. 

How is your mum doing zigzag?

She had a bad weekend  with pain and it really dragged her down. But that has stopped now thank goodness. She still cannot shut her eye, so is off to an eye clinic tomorrow, hopefully they can make it comfortable for her. The face paralysis is no worse, so now have to wait and see what recovery might be.  She is also exhausted and for the first time ever is showing her ninety years. It’s so blooming sad as she was doing so well. I actually had to take her for a scan of her heart today, totally unrelated to all this. The  man doing the scan said her heart is very strong and he sees people in their 50s and 60s who don’t have such a good heart.

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

I'm enjoying the temperature change too Sunnyday. I have had a last minute house guest - a friend's dog so have been doing twice daily walks and really enjoying the freshness in the air - especially first thing.

Zigzag - how's your mum getting on?

I've been in to school for a few hours to help set classrooms up for September and have made a coffee cake - I haven't made one for ages and had a sudden taste for it - I may have eaten far too much of it.

What I haven't done is any of the house sorting out that I'd planned so feel I must do some of that next week.

Have a lovely weekend all!

Afternoon all. 😊

Well, I've done a few things this week - just can't remember what at the moment, but i know involved coffee and cake!😂

Only another week before I go back to work 😮 I have acheived nothing this summer!

Froglet, you have another week or so.... I'm sure you'll get yourself sorted 😊

Zigzag, hope you're mum is feeling a little better each day.💐

Sunnyday - I'm not good in the heat either!

 

Have a good weekend eveyone xx

Seconded!! It's only since I stopped being full time that I realised just how important a proper break is! Plus you've had coffee and cake and grandchildren time - that is definitely an achievement!

Crumbs how is it 4 weeks ago I last looked in? How have 5 weeks of the holiday gone already? I have mostly spent eaten my way through it in one cafe or another …that will be a shock to the system when back at work 🐷

I’m actually sat here thinking I need to find top 😱

We finally have a hosepipe ban, though I’d given up on watering most things weeks ago, a few spots of rain this week but nothing to shout about,  It sounds like we will make up for the dry spell soon.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer, hope your mum makes a quick recovery Zig-Zag, and best wishes to my co-workers starting back soon x
