A new what-I-did-today thread

Night jeni. Nice to have you back with us

Missed you, jeni.

Had farewell lunch with DD today, she is on the red-eye flight in the morning and back to work in Brussels before lunchtime. Great shame that we did not get to do much because we all have this chest infection.

I didn't realise this hour existed. I'm only up because I have to go to Newport and they start early.
Too early!
Have a good day all!

All grandchildren day! Two here since 7.20am, just delivered oldest to school, other two due any minute. Over and out!

Bit confused today. Had a dream last night that someone had given me some goldfish to look after and, with Christmas and everything I'd forgotten to feed them. Found myself in the kitchen looking for these goldfish. Not absolutely certain that I didn't just dream the whole thing but pretty sure that I did actually go downstairs in a panic. Given that I must have walked downstairs half asleep and in the dark is rather a worry. I had ate too much before I went to bed and there was an [obscure] reason for having that particular dream but still slightly concerned about it. The dream did continue later on and I did find the fish and they were still alive [albeit in the microwave ]. Am I going bonkers ?

No, not bonkers crimson, unless I am too. I dreamt that someone had left me a kitten to look after, though it had a face like a pug puppy! The 'thing' escaped and led me upstairs and downstairs and through offices in one of which I eventually cornered it and took it back to my room.
Well, Dr Freud?

From my position of knowing absolutely nothing about dream interpretation I would say that there is an element in both your dreams of being responsible for some helpless thing and not believing that you are up to it. Grandchildren?

Or a partner?

I went to John Lewis today to inspect the Dyson cleaner that lots of you have been testing.
I was very happy to discover that it was £50 cheaper than the price quoted by Dyson, so I bought one. Get it on Thursday.

I think I've finally grown up

Ella, I'd love to get one too, but having won the Hoover Globe last year I feel obliged to use the thing - haven't got it out of its box yet!

I know butty ... Hard work but love every moment with them

Ana can't you sell it?

I might try the local paper. I wouldn't know how to go about delivery charges etc. on e-bay - it's very heavy!

Worth a try

Yes (I hope GNHQ don't see this - ungrateful or what! )

Well, I put on the Dyson thread that it was cheaper in John Lewis

Not bovvered

I was offered a weeks work but I was feeling unwell, as I did not want to call to say I was not going in I battled it--but--when on the bus felt quite bad--all to do with stress--had to get off bus and go back towards home--got off early and had a walk and then went home,,I tried to be brave but could not cut it.

oh Cheelu that is a shame, hope you feeling calmer now?

cheelu I'm sorry you are feeling so bad here are some for you.

Today was the first day for weeks that I've felt almost well. On the mend now for sure

Drove up to London yesterday for a meeting with a colleague from KwaZuluNatal, then back two hours later. We had almost seized up by the time we stopped for a meal back here in Bideford! But we were reminded of why we moved when we got home to clean air and the lights on the quay. Today was a slooow day! And it will soon be bedtime.
