Stephen better a mountain bike than a Mountain Lion. your knees would be a lot more painful if it had been one of these.

I think I am getting cranky now. I use my left hand more so than my right
I can use both. but writing this afternoon I can hear the bone grating in my wrist. I hope that has not put you off your dinner?

I wonder if that can be an excuse to not do any housework. or washing and ironing ?

Evening All !

Welcome back Maddie......missed you...... :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Wait till you here this.....I happened to mention to my family that my knees got really sore when I'm in the mountains and I should really watch how I treat them and try and keep the weight off them......So what did they think was a remedy?

The bought me a bloody Mountain Bike !!!!!!!!!!!

I should really appreciate their thoughts on buying it and I suppose I will use it. But my thinking is that it will just add more pressure on my knee joints.

Watch this space :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi MADDIE......

Glad you popped in ......at least we know your Alive & Kicking !! ;-)

I have been gardening but my garden is full of ANTS !!!!!! Loads of them.
Pete had to go out and get some white powder Ant Killer.

I have a white garden now ..LOL

Getting dinner ready for tomorrow its a slow-cooker casserole as that's the only dish I can cook as I have to go to the hospital in the afternoon to see my Dad.
My sister & her HO are coming to my house for dinner.

Probably you are all out enjoying this wonderful sunshine

Hi Mo .....you typed while I was ..LOL

Helloooooo everyone, isn't it great to have our Maddie back.
It took ages to find her, she was well hidden behind the bike shed, having a quiet drinky poo, and holding hands with a handsome fella, she tells me it was her OH, but I think she's fibbing, he looked like a film star to me. But then I haven't long since been to spec savers, and I got new glasses. Don't tell me they aint working for me now.
Joking aside, good to see you Maddie.

Ah Marilyn, bless your dad, water infections can be sooo painful. It sounds like he has all the gals running round after him.
It's surprising how pride can get in the way at times, regarding the Zimmer Frame I mean, or as my friend calls them Strimmer Frames.
My Mum hated it when she had to have one following her hip replacement, but it was a neccessary evil.

Well what a beautiful day we have had. I sat in the garden under my parasol, reading my book, glorious.
Lets hope we get at least a few more good days, before the blessed rain comes back with avengance.

Going to have a nice bath now, and relax in front of the box.
Bye take care Mo x

Good evening Ladies and Gent.

Thank you all for your concern, and your emails.

I am sorry that I did not reply to any of them, but there were reasons.

Trust everyone is fit and well, and those who have had holidays enjoyed themselves.

Take care all, will be back sometime soon.

What a glorious day ......plenty of washing to do, so I need to crack on.

Cath.... have fun with your new addition, at least you get exercise with having dogs, I could'nt have one as I'm always away so my poor dog would never know its owner :-S

Rita ...you sound much better now .....I'm pleased to hear.

Maddie.... I see is back, like I say I'm sure she just wanted a little time out sometimes its good to leave the Lappy a while then come back refreshed.

Haven't seen Hazel posting lately ....I hope her troubles are better than it was,and she has what she asked for
:-)

Shelly must be surrounded by Olympic visitors in her area she will have to get 2 weeks food shopping in .. ;-) or shove em all away LOL

Jean... I seem to be OK getting onto thread lately ...am I privileged LOL

Went to see my Dad yesterday ....awwh bless him he had a water infection but now is out of pain ....my sister said he was screaming with pain and was wondering what was the matter with him so doctor was called, confirmed infection and rang for the ambulance.
He was sitting up in his hospital bed with a smile on his face and said its like a Hotel in here they are all looking after me keeps taking blood from me and washing me....Nurses are lovely and kind and are trying to make me walk to the toilet with a Zimmer frame ....But I told them I DONT WANT A ZIMMER FRAME !!! He's so proud
he wouldn't want us to see him with help of any kind , I told him things have got to change now he's nearly 98yrs !!
So its going to be hard work !!
Now off for my bath......then I think the garden needs attending :-(

Stevey......Dont fall off your bike LOL

Morning Stephen some parts of Scotland are suppose to have bad weather today according to a weather forecaste.

Like Yvonne has said Maddie has a thread out on the boards, so I dont know why she has not replied to any emails or to appeals for where she has got too.? but she appears to be alright. so stop worrying everyone.

I expect she will tell us in her own good time.

The sun is out at the moment, lets hope it stays the day.
Morning to all my friends on Friendly. Hope Marilyn finds here father in better shape.

see you later.

Evening all

Busy in the shop today, all the kids buying toys to play with during the holidays.

I noticed Maddie had posted earlier on another thread so all is well, sounds like she was spending time with family.

Cath could you take your Gypsy to the rescue centre and take her and new dog for a walk together to get to know each other.

Good evening friends,
it has been a beautiful day today :-D :-D :-D makes everyone feel so much happier when the sun is out. Grandchildren finished school for the holidays so fingers crossed the weather holds and they won't drive me crackers being stuck indoors ;-)
Got all the things we need for the new dogs arrival today, bed, bowls, lead and collar etc. I hope she gets on with our Gypsy and they become friends quickly.
2nd coat of paint for the house tomorrow so probably won't be on until later in the day.
Stephen have fun with the girls and don't let them wear you out ;-)
<3 <3

I surfed the boards looking for Maddie and dint find her. Surely she would not leave and not say goodbye to her friends.?
I can only think she is on holiday. BUT if so why delete her threads. I wondered if she had deleted on Friendly Thread ? I have not cheked that.
even when she has been to work she still drops off a little message to us..

I have managed to book my car for the hospital for my C A T scan for 30th July that is Monday week.. I have an apointment for my warfrin on test Wednesday. then after my scan I need to book a car for the Royal Surrey Hospital for my results from the scan.

I need to make a dentist appointment as well for next month. these all come together.

I think I might need a holiday after this lot lol.

we had some new neighbours move into one of the flat this morning. what excitment. the van came from The Isle of Wight.so that is two flats gone. now we have one flat and one . one bedroomed bungalow empty. so things ssem mto be moving on the selling part.

Sun shinning. isnt that lovely makes you smile.

Yvonne I have that same problem no pictures but the little wheel keeps turning. dont try waiting for it to give you the go ahead. your be unlucky as it had no brake to stop it.

I made a cup of tea and went back to bed and read till 8 o'clock I was looking at the clock all the time. as I am usually up about 7 or just before.

A Wee Chuckle for the day

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room discussing a
“Living Will”

"Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all the beer.
