Yay!!! So good to hear from you lovely zigzag I was getting worried about you x
-
It is looking like it now - I was really hoping that we might get some rain tonight and a lower temp tomorrow - I need to be sensible about this she is 10 years my senior
-
Oh louby how kind of you x We are really busy here...watching Clarkson's Farm 🤣 One of the friends that I was due to meet up with tomorrow rang earlier and said "do you think we should cancel because of the heat"... not sure what to do
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday What a week - relentless heat hope that it eases soon forecast looks good... Hosepipe ban imposed yesterday but at least so far and touching wood we have not lost our water Tomorrow I am meeting two of my oldest friends for lunch which will be lovely Hope that everyone is coping, I have been so grateful that I am not working. Wishing you all a good weekend x

Thanks for asking louby - he struggles to maintain his oxygen levels but happily he has a 'caring fairy' her name is Mrs S and she enables him to spend his time sitting in his reclining armchair watching TV with a fan blowing on him while she caters for his every whim 😇

It's not great to be honest Cait! Especially 'punishing' for Mr S which I know you will understand... Beautiful rose - in the words of Elvis Costello 'It's been a Good Year for the Roses'!

Oooh lovely young Froglet!
-
Good afternoon! As young Froglet says - 'tis Friday - I am very late on parade today! Another busy week here. Looking forward to a quietish weekend (fingers crossed) Middle granddaughter's birthday today and she has a day off so we visited this morning with her pressie and card. Not really looking forward to another heatwave and will be pretty nervous re the water situation - but mustn't start worrying until we know there is something to worry about! Happy weekend all x
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday Rain, rain and a bit more rain all week here - but thankfully it's dry today - honestly can't believe we have had the heating on in June. Busy week - big announcement - drumroll..........we have sold my dear MIL's house - can't believe it, so quickly, obviously know that things could go pear-shaped yet but how amazing, full asking price, not worried that we have undersold as there were a couple of below asking price offers too. A home that we both loved, but for now just brings us sadness so good to see it go and hope that another family can find happiness there. I am hoping for a quiet weekend - no plans at all - so will just take it as it comes Hope everyone is okay. Happy weekend to all x

Thank heavens that you were skilled enough to see what was happening and help him...

I'm so sorry Mousie that is just awful I do remember that about a zillion years ago I did get a 'literal' smack in the mouth - that child is now in his early 40's and has been in all sorts of trouble throughout his life, last that I heard he is 'homeless' which actually breaks my heart.
-
Louby - I always finished with a picnic (with parents responsible for their own children!) - if we were flush we organised a bouncy castle or an entertainer - sadly, towards the end of my time there was never any spare money, but I don't need to tell you that! We presented our leavers with a 'certificate' and all children received a small pressie (usually a book)... When do you plan to retire now then? Young Froglet - so pleased that you got to spend some time with your brother and sister - I wonder if our son's are having such conversations about Mr S and me - hope not quite yet 🤣 Bindweed is the absolute pits - good luck with it. One of my lovely daughters-in-law called round and had a look at my new retaining wall - she said "wow that should last well" - I replied "yes, that should see us out" 🤣 - she was not happy about me saying that but hey ho! 🤣 I do hope our lovely zigzag is okay we haven't heard from her...
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday A fairly busy week here. Tuesday found us in London for a hospital visit for Mr S - it was absolute chaos up there as the tube drivers were on strike, not that we could take the tube anymore but of course the traffic was just dreadful...the black cab ride back from The Royal Brompton to St Pancras cost us £60.00 not the drivers fault he just couldn't move... Just after we reached the hospital there was a huge thunderstorm with hail like you never saw (!) all of us able-bodied peeps left the waiting room to see what was going on - it was all rather exciting! This weekend we have a party to attend - whoop - it is one of Mr S' cousins who recently got married in Cyprus - they are hosting the party for those that couldn't attend the wedding... Have some 'structural' work going on out in my garden today - a retaining wall (wooden) had well and truly rotted out - it is being replaced with some super smart sleepers - can't wait to see the end result! That's me caught up - how is everyone else getting on? Happy weekend one and all x
-
Good morning - 'tis friday <whispers very quietly> we have water this morning - whoop! Hope everyone is okay? Wishing you all a very happy weekend x
-
........and we are 'off' again - I have decided Gin is the only answer! (Just to drink you understand, couldn't afford to bathe in it) 🤣
-
Just received text message from South East Water - we will be turned off again tonight 🤦♀️ Mr S said "what is this summer going to be like if this is going on now" 'tis all over Kent and Sussex what a pain...
-
Thanks young Froglet, we have such an odd situation - tankers are working 24/7 pumping water directly into mains - still have have water bottle station too - but yes we do have water - whoop! Oh and it would seem it is all our own fault for expecting to use water when it is hot - South East Water have told us off! 🤣
-
Deep joy - hottest day of the year and we have no water...South East Water and I quote "couldn't say when supply will be restored"
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday Woah - incredibly busy week here - how did I ever find time to work?! 🤣 A week full of Estate Agents, Solicitors, Photographers and (much nicer) youngest grandchildren...on the EA, Solicitors bit I have been thinking - 'Mr S is very, very lucky to have his very own PA' 🤣 Today - I am off doing some more 'serious' plant buying and then need to be back here to take delivery of granddog, she will be with us until Monday, she is no trouble and I am looking forward to having her 🐶 Are we all ready for a heatwave? Have a good BH weekend all x
-
Oh Sue, what an absolute blow for you - I am sending my very best healing vibes to you xxx
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday Lovely to see the sun this morning - horrible weather here most of the week... We are just off to meet yet another Estate Agent - this will be number 3 - one for Probate valuation and two for Sales appraisal... Not sure what we are doing this weekend Have a good one! x
-
Good morning - 'tis...........Cait's birthday!!! Happy Birthday lovely lady xxx
-
Hello again I am collecting my two youngest grandchildren from school too - a panicked text from DIL she is not going to be back in time to pick them up - no problem will be lovely to have them! In other news - have set up two Estate Agent appointments for next week - go me! 🤣
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday The three generation fishing trip was a great success - youngest grandson is well and truly hooked (see what I did there!) House Clearance at MIL's house is complete phew! Next step is Estate Agent valuations (two maybe three not sure) This evening we are off to a surprise 70th birthday meal - one of Mr S's many cousins - will be good to see everyone and it not be at a funeral far too much of that has happened recently. Weekend - not sure what we are up to will take it as it comes... Happy weekend all x
