Happy birthday to all the Virgos' celebrating their birthdays within the next few days.

Congratulations Flower, and what a beautiful name.
Unfortunately OGM, there`ll be plenty of fetching and carrying, there`s nobody else to do it! Hubby doing OK, district nurse came today to take out his staples, but has left a couple till Monday. She was really lovely, gave him a blow up li-lo type thing to put on the mattress to prevent a sore bum, likewise a cushion for his chair.

Congratulations Flower what an unusual name.

Is Tova the female version of Thor?
Congratulations to you Flowerofthe west

Apparently it is also Hebrew for "good girl".

My new great niece is called Ezri which is apparently Hebrew for helper.
Hopeful patents I think!

Patents? Parents!

I love that one. There are some really pretty names around at the moment especially the older ones that are coming back into fashion.

Yes Tova is the female version of Thor. The couple chose it months ago but never told anyone. A terrific clap of thunder woke my daughter up in the early hours of 23rd July and she started labour. A well chosen name.
Tova Hero, her brother is Otto Danger

It is also Hebrew as has been stated

Hello there, Flower Good to see you again! Welcome to Tova, and congratulations to all.

Congrats Flower and family. I like the name Tova! I have never heard it before but its lovely it "sounds nice".

I have spent the afternoon sewing on name tags & turning up trousers , ready for school on Tuesday.

Know what , I have loved every minute .

Nonu - ugh!!!

I finished the ironing - it took 3 hours, several trips to GN, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton and Meatloaf to help me through it.

Now, Nigella's pork chop, fried potatoes, salad and .

Hey , Kitty enjoy the rest of your evening , you damn well deserve it .

Spent the afternoon at the flower festival at Durham cathedral. Absolutely magnificent.

Kittylester,was that the "Bat out of hell" album songs? I use to walk several miles listening to Meatloaf. Today I woke up had breakfast and then went back to bed!

Hope you are not unwell, envious??

Today we went to a garden party in a Rotary friend's huge and beautiful garden - afternoon tea in all its glory, complete with scones and clotted cream. All in aid of HomeStart East Devon and some other charities. Lots of friends and chat, then home via the scenic route.

No supper tonight, I think!

Now to think about the Water Festival tomorrow afternoon - more fundraising but by the water this time. Final event is RNLI lifeboats and the rescue helicopters staging a rescue -if they're not called out to a real one, that is. Hope not for the best of reasons!

Phew!

No....just lazy! Thanks for the concern BTW.
