[Nanto2girls]

Good morning. Windy again,but the rain has stopped for now.

Have a good day ladies.

[Gemini]

Good morning Nan2, pretty graphic for a dull day. Still raining here, windy, and dark! Good morning everyone else.

Poor OH is on the golf course at 10.
I will go to see my mum this afternoon. I had thought of taking her out in the wheelchair to the cafe in her village, and maybe a walk round to look at the church, until I saw the forecast.

Happy Friday everyone.

[Oma]

Good morning Ladies ,
What a horrible morning ,
Its dark wet and windy .

Gem not a nice Golfing day or a day to take your Mum out , even wrapped up it will be too cold and damp .
What a shame , what else will you do ? maybe a nice cake and chat will be a better idea

Daisy as it happened I did miss, well not miss but had tea very very late for us and I should have had a nibble at something till we did but you know how it is things get in the way and you forget
I hadn't had anything since 11.30 on the morning and it was gone 7 by time we sat down for tea so far too long .

Did you get the tree chopped down ? does it make a difference

Plant enjoy your Birthday lunch out ,

Bedding in the wash I have some ironing to do but will do that later
We are popping to DD's this morning .

[Gemini]

Visiting in residents room or taking them out are the only options under rules for care homes still Oma, so yes we will stay in her room and I will take a cake. She's been a bit tearful and asking when she will leave lately, so the time I'm there can drag and be hard, so I had been hoping to get her out for a bit. Every day is different though so she may be OK today. I never know until I get there.

Hi ladies Good Morning,just letting you know I am up and about,not feeling very well at all,last day for antibiotic's I feel I may have to speak to Dr about another course.
bye for now xx glamma

[Gemini]

Oh I am sorry Plant. Yes maybe speak to the Dr again. Take care xx

Good morning, still sunny here but the rain is forecast, I have just been to C&A in Delft but it has changed! I couldn't find anything I liked. It was lovely on the bike through the woods, leaves flying around in the wind. I hung my washing out before I went and it is all dry now.

Glamm, I hope you get to see a doctor and soon feel better.

Gem, it must be so sad for you seeing your mum like that.xx

Oma, try and nibble more often.

[Plantaholic]

Glamm, good to hear you are on your feet, perhaps a chat with the doctor would be a good idea. You take care and keep warm.

I hope your mum is in good spirits Gemini, what a shame the weather is not good enough to take her out.

Oma, that was a long gap between your eating, take care

[Daisy]

Good morning everyone. It feels like April here - apart from the leaves swirling round - sunshine and showers! No gardening today.

Nanto - what a pretty graphic - I do look forward to your daily treats. x

Plant - I hope you are having a good birthday. Did you say you're going out for lunch (sorry, I can't find the post!). If so have a lovely time.

Oma - you need one of those watches that give you alerts to remind you to sit down and have a snack. I hope you're ok today. Has DD finished her old job yet, or just working from home?

Gem - it must be so difficult if the weather's too bad to take your mum for a little outing. Could you just take her for a little drive round somewhere pretty. It might cheer her up and you could have a flask of tea or coffee in the car - with a cake of course. I do hope she's ok today - it's sad for both of you when she's tearful. xx If you've had the downpours we've had this morning I should think OH will be paddling round the golf course.

Glamm - it's lovely to hear you're up and about, even if you're not quite better yet. People seem to be taking a long time to get over these horrible bugs, but it might be a good idea to see what the doctor says.

Lizzie - your bike rides always sound wonderful, and I can just picture you cycling along between rows of trees scattering golden leaves around you! What a pity C&A wasn't up to scratch though. I was so sorry when they pulled out of the UK.


We're still waiting to find out exactly when the tree surgeons are coming. My car has gone in for a service today so no excuses about getting on with the dreaded housework and some paperwork.

Have a good day ladies and hold on to your hats if you're out in the wind. x

[Lizzie48]

Daisy, C&A is good really, it is just me that can't find what I am looking for! I do enjoy cycling through the leaves etc, not when they get wet and mushy though.

[Nanto2girls]

Glamma,hope you feel better soon.

gem, mope your visit with your mum is a good one.

Windy here,but not had rain since early this morning.

Been to dads,left everything clean and tidy.
Came home and finished my jobs, including a bit of ironing.
Fish and chips today,so no cooking for me.

[Oma]

Daisy she is working from home but finishes on 5th December , she has a week off this week or she would have lost those days when she leaves ,

She is off looking at new cars this afternoon , her Range rover is 5years old and thigs are starting to wear out so she's looking for a replacement .

Glamm I think you really need to speak with the Dr again this has been going on some time now hasn't it xx

Gem I hope your Mum is in a happier mood when you visit , it must be hard trying to fend off the question when is she going home bless her xx

Lizzie I have a picture of you cycling for all your worth with leaves swirling around hahaha

Nanto its nice to get jobs done and out of the way .

We went to DD's this morning then to Lidl needed fresh veg to make veg soup for tea

After lunch I did all my ironing then made the bed up again with fresh bedding ,

I find it hard work these days , B usually does it but I was upstairs ironing anyway so thought I may as well ,
The Mattress is so heavy to lift to put the fitted sheet on ,I was sweating by time I did that and put the pillow protectors and pillow cases on
I had to sit at my dressing table for 5 minutes before I tackled the Duvet cover , I am getting such a wimp

[Oma]

My Cardigans have arrived , im very pleased with them ,
Lovely quality very smart

[Lizzie48]

I am pleased you are satisfied with the cardigans Oma.

[Plantaholic]

Oma, so pleased you are happy with your cardigans. Bed changing is really hard for me now, I am thinking of putting an ad on the local forum asking if anyone would come once a fortnight for a couple of hours to iron the bedding and then change the bed.
