Lovely sunny day here in the Channel Islands.
Ron is asleep in the garden, I might try and get 40 winks myself as Ron had a very stressless night hence I didnt get much sleep and now I am very tired.
Love to everyone
Evelyn X

I shall ring the clerk of the weather Robert and see if I can get some nice weather sent your way

That is NOT helpful, Tabitha - It is still dull, windy, miserable and with a few drops of rain here.

Afternoon all - the rumours were wrong - i am still alive in a very hot & sunny Brighton & back at work.

Only a flying visit as spent too long reading through this thread & Evelyn's

Never seen it so busy

Had a lovely time at the hotel - then spent most of the week in the attic - even though it was lovely outside - never mind

Will try & pop in for a chat tomorrow

Fantastic heatwave here in the South Robert

Sylvia wonderful to see you up & about

Waves & hugs to Reece & Evelyn ((((((~~~~~~))))))

Not forgetting all the others as well.

Love to all

Take care <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Reece,

Heatwave - what heatwave???

Cold, wet and miserable here in the North East (of England).

Our local Supermarket is even selling Advent Calendars>

Good morning friendsl - a lovely sunny day again and our "heatwave" set to go on - a whole week so far -and still the leaves of the horse chestnuts are falling and falling!

Sylvia - so good to see you back again and are your now able to type with more than two fingers? What an ordeal having all those staples removed - someone was making sure by putting so many in for you - hope all is well and that you will make very good progress.

Cynthia - Christmas already! No, please I just can't even begin to think about it.....

Younger son is coming tonight so busy getting all the dusting done early and then going up to the Farmers' Market and coffee with a friend just back from a Lecture trip to Bordeaux and home by way of Paris. She is complaining about her knees but I hope to hear more about the trip.

Found some more relatives - where have they been hiding?

Susan, are you enjoying that weather? Good for the garden though.

Just read an article about the Pilbara region rock paintings in the north west of WA and felt terribly sad - will they eventually be lost to mining? I do hope not.

Love to you all

Reece <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi all

It's cool over here ...... we had our heat wave a week ago!


Reporting in .................


Nurse came about 3 hours ago

52 staples later, the nurse says .................




"I have never before removed so many staples"




she even wondered if the staple gun had "gone wrong" as there were so many very close together in one area


Trust me!



Drain still in


no shower tomorrow :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Hi anyone who is around :-S


It's strange that our weather is coinciding Sue - we're supposed to have a hot day too! Apparently, according to the tv, some plants do not know whether they are coming or going because the weather is so confusing.


I took my once poorly friend out and back to her house for an hour on Thursday. She is hoping to go home between the end of October and the beginning of November and a care package is being set up for her.


She asked me to pack up a pile of toys which her grandchildren used to play with when she cared for them so I am off to the charity shop this morning!


My daughter has started her Christmas shopping and I think I will begin to get the 'voucher' bit done. I'm sure the recipients won't mind if they aren't in a Christmassy wallet :-D


Hope all are well and that Anne has enjoyed her rest......special waves to Ven. Robert ~~~~~~~~~


Love to all Cx <3

Hi Everyone

Very quiet on the thread ,I hope everyone is fine .

Hot today ,they say we are to get 25c today so I am out in the garden...picked up some fertilizer yesterday ,must feed my Roses as it is the growing season coming up.

We have our Grand Final Football for Australia today so will watch a bit of that even though our team got knocked out last week but we did make it to the Semi final....better luck next year.

Drop in later tonight.
Have a good weekend .
Suex :-D <3

Hi Everyone

Thank You for your understanding ,I feel really terrible feeling the way I do about my visitor but he really got me down more so than my OH but then he was not the one running around after him .
He did call me yesterday and told me he had put on 2.5 kl's while he was with us so that made me feel better so I told him he has to look after himself better in that case ....he just could not be bothered cooking for himself.


Sylvia you sound up after your ordeal.....continued progress a little bit everyday,wonderful to have you back.

Washing again today,the rain has eased a bit but it is on its way back for Sunday so trying to get all washed and dry by then.

Better get into it.
Suex <3 :-D

Cyn


You should have HEARD what OH said when we were alone! ;-) :-D

That's a classic comment Sylvs! I would love to have seen your face when it was actually said to you! :-D


Poor Sue.......what a time you have had! I really don't envy you your visitor one little bit. It sounded like a nightmare of a stay. Hope you recover from your experience soon.........


We have had a glorious day today - plenty of washing out on the line.


I put most of my summer clothes away and then we get a heatwave....typical!


There is a flurry of activity on our Evelyn't thread with some more ideas being thrown into the melting pot.....I am spending some time on that in order to help ease the pressure on Fans. I am just the 'gof-er' really :-D


Love to all. Cx

Hi all
xxx


oh, Sue, what a week you've had! xxxxxxx


we've had that kind of visitor before ................ and while you love them, they are sooooooooooooo hard to deal with!



My brother's widow is somewhat similar, only she is computer illiterate, so I wouldn't have that problem


She hasn't been here for at least 6 years, and will never come again (she's 81, and lives in the UK). But the last time she stayed here, she said she'd love to come again ................... but not when we were here :-S



She later told one of her daughters that we hadn't been too receptive to her suggestion ................... and S said "well, think about what you said!" :-D



The gales have blown on through, and now we have a mini-heatwave!

Hi Everyone

Sylvia what a brave soul you are ,I really admire you for the way you don't let things get you down...so refreshing to hear.
Getting out and about I imagine would be the best thing to do in the circumstances.
Stay well.

Josie sorry to hear you are not too well and pleased to hear you have at least got some part time work to tied you over,something will come up I am sure of that.

Well my visitor has finally gone home ,he is my Dads second Cousin and he has only just got over Bowl Cancer so he is still very sick and he has lost a Lot of weight but he is 82 and I can tell you now he is very cantankerous,bad tempered and likes a lot of his own way ,I do care about him but the last 6 days have been very difficult for my OH and myself and I was very glad to take him home yesterday all be it 240klm there and the same back home again so the first night with out him here was glorious.

I am just checking all my computer out because my visitor did like to take control of it even my Skype ,he was calling my contacts on it and they did not know him from a bar of soap.
Think it may be a while before I invite him back again I am afraid.

Cooking my Oh a nice roast dinner today getting back to normal.

My love to everyone ,be back tonight.
Suex :-D :-D :-D

Hi all

Josie ...... sorry to hear that you have the flu. Hope you feel better soon xxx


and I'm keeping my fingers crossed re the job situation.





1 week progress report .......

Things are gradually improving.

I still have an untold number of staples in an incredibly long incision, and a drain. Hopefully, the drain will be removed on Thursday, and then I can have a SHOWER on Friday

If not, then I will have to wait until Monday ......... and have the first celebratory shower on Tuesday

I have made an appointment with my hairdresser for this afternoon to get my hair WASHED. Oh JOY!

I still have to keep my left arm close against my body, to provide some support ................. and also as a reminder NOT to make many movements!

BUT ... I can now move my left forearm and hand with more ease and without causing too much discomfort, so I can ....................... now type with 3 fingers .......... one of which is on my left hand!

I went out yesterday for the first time ...... for afternoon coffee. The coffee shop owners gave me a free latte. as a welcome back.

This has not been the most enjoyable time, but we're getting there!

Thank you everyone for your support, and good wishes.

Dear Sylvia Wonderful that all went well and you are recovering.

Hi Anne, still nothing much on the job front, but have been lucky to get temp work over the last 3 weeks.Between 10 and 20 hours.
working at Muffin Break out here in Porirua.

This was the Cafe Chain that I was made redundant from Feb last year.

Have got a nasty dose of the Flu at the moment.. Thankfully the daytime temps are getting a lot warmer and sitting in the sun is making me feel a lot better.

Hi to all the new people who have popped in to visit, hope you will keep popping in.

Nice to see you Evelyn and Reece.

and Robert I knew you couldn't stay away!!

Take care catch you all later Josie :-) :-) :-) <3

Hi all


Thank you everyone <3 <3 <3


Reece ...... he is taking excellent care of me!


Progress is being made ........ I can now type with 2 fingers, one on each hand!


I have to keep the upper part of my left arm tightly pressed against my body, but can move the lower part enough to get one finger to the keyboard!


OH's sister is down here staying with her son, but we are expecting her to visit later this morning. She leaves on Friday for a week in England .............. visiting their cousin who is fighting a recurrence of breast cancer.


I'm also waiting for the nurse to come, it's change-the-dressing day!

Lovely to hear you are "on the mend" Sylvia and send all good wishes to you and hope that you will soon be up and about. I'm sure that your OH is taking good care of you, too.

News from my Canadian b-i-l in Sydney to say the temperature hit 33C a day or so ago and then a cold front hit with torrential rain.

Very wise not to go into the water, Susan - I member just how terrified we used to be as children at the beach when sharks were to be seen. When P and I were on the Barrier Reef there were small grey sharks around.

Love to everyone
R <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
