Chat Away

[Gemini]

I have been thinking of you Mimi and wondering how you are.
We know you are one of our regular posters and haven't abandoned us .
Im sorry things are so rough at the moment. Take care xx

[WeeGranny]

Hello Mimi!

I'm not great at posting daily, but I do check in. This is such a fantastic site, that you know you can turn to the members for advice or just have arant or moan if you need to.

Keep safe and hopefully those demons will soon be chased far away x

[Nanto2girls]

Mimi, sorry you aren't in a good place at the moment.
I didn't think you had abandoned us. Just take care of yourself.

By heck,its turned cold here. Poor weather for July.

Daisy put it in Recipes xx

Mimi - I'm so sorry you're going through a tough time. You've been in my thoughts, and I was wondering if you are ok. I wish I could come and slay those thought-demons for you, but you know we're all here when you want to chat, rant or sob on our shoulders. Sending you love and hugs. xx

WeeGranny - that's a very nice thing to say about GRU, and we really appreciate it. We've got such an amazing bunch of members and there's always somebody around to cheer, comfort or entertain.

Oma - Many thanks for the recipe. B is, of course right - we do have brandy in the house! I hope you can get a better night's sleep tonight - I felt quite exhausted just reading about your restless night. x

Gem - I hope it stayed dry for S's golf. We had a really heavy downpour here just after lunch, then another shower around tea time. It went quite chilly too. Definitely not July weather - I suppose we used up our supply of summer in March. How did GS1's art project go?

Plant - I'm glad you've got another knitting project to start on. You seem very busy at the moment so it will give you a chance to sit down and relax. I mainly just make our everyday bread in our bread machine, but it tastes so much better than shop-bought, and there are no dubious chemicals in it.

Enfys - sending hugs. xxx

Good morning on St Swithins Day.


"St Swithin’s day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithin’s day if thou be fair
For forty days ‘twill rain nae mare"


Nice morning up to now,but i think rain is coming from the west.
Anyhow,got a load of lights in the washer.
Jacket potatoes for dinner.

Enfys hope your ok and getting some rest much love xx


Mimi you too keep your chin up old girl don't let the buggers get you down big hugs xx

Plant what colour wool did you get ? GGS is very lucky having a Gran like you making him hand made Woolies they cost a fortune to buy .

I was wondering about Aggie last night too , wonder if she's ok .

Lizzie is it today the gentleman's funeral ?

WG you never leave posting too long you pop in and out when you can and we love to hear from you xx

Slept well last night I got a good solid 6 hours ,

Done a dust through and hoovered gave loos a good clean not much else to do , did want to brush drive today ready for being pressure hosed but it's not the weather for that , never mind I will find something to do

Have a good day ladies xxx

[Oma]

Just had a look
Aggie was last on end of June
Nana popped in this morning
And I think Avo is away in her motor home

[Daisy]

Good morning ladies.

Nanto - I'd forgotten about St Swithin's Day! It doesn't look very hopeful here - there's rain in the air! I need to get some washing done but not if it's going to rain.

Oma - well done - 6 hours good sleep and you should be frolicking around like a spring lamb today. Tell B, thanks for the compliment - he obviously recognises my talent for flambe-ing!

I've been wondering about Aggie, too. I do hope she's ok. She's another of our talented artists, and I'd love to see more of her work.

No plans for us today. Eva's paw it still too sore to take her out, but she's obviously feeling a bit better because she was beating up her toys last night.

Have a good (dry) day ladies.

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies.

No rain here yesterday, so OH stayed dry Daisy I hope Eva's paw is less sore today.
Good grief Nan2, are we in for 40 days rain then?? Wet here overnight, and rain forecast most of the morning.
Oma, that sleep will have done you good. When is your op scheduled for?

No plans today. We think we may go out out for a drive somewhere. There are plenty of places open now, but you have to prebook, so we don't want to do that and have to walk round in heavy rain or lose our money. We will see how the day goes.

Take care everyone.

Very late getting up, not dressed yet. I am finding the pattern on the jumper I am knitting difficult to get it started and as I thought it would, it kept me awake trying to puzzle out why.
I am going to visit Sil's mother today at 1pm and I shall pop into M&S on the way back to collect a parcel, I will wear a face mask of course. My late husbands birthday today.

Lovely to hear from you Mimi, so sorry you are finding things difficult at the moment. Hope you will be feeling better soon.

I hope Eva will be able to go for a walk soon, at least she feels like murdering her toys.

Oma, 6 hours sleep, that will set you up for the day. Did you do anything differently?

Enfys, thinking about you and P, sending love.

[Oma]

Gem it's at end of month so far but the way things keep changing you just don't know if things will go as planned I'm not counting my chickens so they say .

Plant no nothing different but the night before was dreadful so I was exceptionally tired last night

Poor Eva hope it's better today xx

[Gemini]

Next doors cat (I presume it was he, ours hunting days are way behind him) left a gift of two baby mice on our back doorstep this morning

Chilly here today. Come back summer!

[Oma]

Gem our next door cats do that with us , I often open the door to a dead mouse , they never eat them just kill them and leave them there

[Gemini]

They mean them as gifts Oma
