Sylvia sorry to hear that you need surgery on both eyes, will they do them both at the same time or will you have one done first. Still if it improves what you can see it will be great.

The weather here is raining again, and Fridays downpour managed to get the village on the news on the TV again as we were flooded and the roads blocked in and out of the village. It was atrocious but not many houses were flooded just the roads and fields. We have an underground river under our house, we used to have a well in the garden that the previous people used to pump the water to use for washing. We had it capped and the dining room extension built over it. Just hope the water level does not rise too much or we could be flooded!

Hi all,
Weather still good, but forecast rain, rain, rain. Well, it will save me from having to water the plants outside I suppose!
So I have to have two eye operations. Yes, I have star in bot h eyes. Why do I have to have everything?
My youngest daughter's birthday tomorrow - she will be 52. She won't be home so will visit her another time.
I have asked my ex son in law to come and help me for an hour with the garden but it has been so warm that he has put off the visit.
Must write a couple of letters now. Have a nice evening.
Sylvia xxx :-)

Sylvia sounds like you are very busy moving from one doctor and clinic to another one. Still as long as they sort you out and keep you going going that is all that matters.
Weather here still awful as well Sylvia, sky this evening is a very funny colour and very dark with heavy rain yet again.

Hi all,
Yes, it is indeed good to be back. Inbetween times we have had computer trouble as well, but I was able to solve this one.
Our weather is just about the same as yours and it remains too cold for me.
We are having to put up with holiday helps in our health service. Today I had a young meisje and she didn't know how to set the brake on my shower chair and I didn't dare get on it in case it wheeled me off. What a problem! It costs me a lot of time explaining to them where everything is. They are all a lovely lot otherwise I would get cross.
Tomorrow I have to go to the eye specialist (via diabetes group). We have our eyes checked once a year. I want a new paitr of glasses anyway - double focus.
On Thursday evening Johan and I are going to a talk on the sickness apneu being held at our hospital. This apneu is why I have to use a mask to sleep.in.
Friday I have an appointment with our doctor and in the afternoon an appointment with the specialist who will take my last 8 teeth out and fit me with a pair of false teeth - what a thought!
This is the way I spend my time!
Now, see you all tomorrow.
Love, Sylvia xxx

sylvia lovely to see you back here thought you were never going to make it!

Weather here still bad although the sun is shining it is only 16° with big black clouds. Lets hope the sun wins through we could do with drying out a bit.

Joxx

Sylvia, good to see you back with us. Well done and hope that you are both keeping well. Our weather is atrocious at the moment, so much wind and rain and not much sun. :-)

Hi girls,
I cannot believe it I'm back again.
I heard today from GR,that they have received my cheque so am now permitted to use the site again. Hurrah.
They sent me a reply per e-mail and must have touched a wrong button somewhere as I have 243 replies. Therefore a repeat key must have been touched - another problem.
Our weather is much the same as yours, lots of wind, thunder etc.
See you another time. Love Syl xxx :-)

Glad your house was unscathed Jo. Our weather is getting more unpredictable by the week isn't it? Been nice here all afternoon but rained this morning. Some people have had it really bad though and I see the Lake District are still getting it, glad we were only up there a week. :-)

Afternoon ladies. Well what horrible weather for June!!!!! :-S :-S

Our village was hit by a mini tornado this morning and there is so much damage, at least it missed our house. People will get quite a shock when they come home from work.

Take care everyone.
Joxx

Thanks Jo, Glad they are ok anyway.

Morning Ladies well I hope your weather is better than ours!!

Just to let you know I have heard from Silvia and she is still having difficulties with GR, she cannot access the site at the moment but she is trying to sort it out with them, they are both keeping well which is great.

Take care and have a good week
Hugs Joxx

Lovely to see you back Jean, hope you have had a lovely day.

I know that Silvia was having problems with the site, but I have not heard from her in the last few weeks, hope that she is OK.
Joxx

love Jean xx.

Jean has rejoined Jo so she will see this. Again happy birthday Jean. xx

I know you are not a member anymore, but you may just read the post.

Happy Birthday Jean, hope you have a lovely day.

Joxx

Evening ladies, hope you are all keeping OK lovely sunshine here today but very cold. Managed to get a line full of washing dry which makes a lovely change.
Have not done much crafting in the last couple of weeks, but managed to make 3 anniversary cards and 3 birthday cards in the last couple of day, so quite pleased with myself!! Just need now to get a stock of cards ready so that it is not a last minute rush as it always is for me, but that is just wishful thinking.....

Hugs Joxx

Evening ladies, just a quick message, I think Sylvia is again having problems with GR waiting to hear from her to see if it can be sorted.

Hope everyones weather has improved a little and that you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend

Love Joxx

Jill, you sound really happy living there and don't sound as if you miss living in France at all.

Jill you sound so very busy still its all doing things you love. Great to hear that classes have started up again as you say a good excuse for lots of new goodies.
Weather still awful here lets hope it improves for the b/h weekend or at least that the rain stops a little.

Hope everyone is ok
love Joxx

Hello Ladies, hope you are all keeping well and have a good weekend planned.
At last my classes are starting up again, good excuse to by more stash :-) I have also been asked to do a workshop for a WI group so its all taking off.
Since moving to the Island we are finding plenty to do and its a lovely friendly safe place to live, I have also started two classes of Zumba !! I used to always work out before moving to France so good to be able to get back to trying to get a bit fitter again.

xx Jill
