Hello lovely Kitchener people. Hot and sunny and windy here in France.
Hope you had a good night's sleep, Nannytopsy ? Certainly you needed that by the sound of it! What gets into people? Whatever happened to "your house, your rules" I wonder ? I'd be so thrilled to accept hospitality which included our 2 dogs that I'd be beyond annoyed if one of them decided to show his gratitude by starting an argument with another family dog. Hope your DS doesn't live too far from you?
Know what you mean about heat, masks and eye tests, Susan. Mine was a couple of months ago and the fabulous and relaxed Eye Doctor I saw (plus his well-behaved under the desk dog) was so helpful and patient. But, I honestly couldn't wait to get out of there. Almost every 30 seconds during part of the examination he had to wipe the equipment next to my face because of the steam, and, as you say, the close proximity really doesn't help. He told me everyone under those conditions feels the same....but even so. I did get some swanky new glasses but got them from England in the end. Hope you are none the worse for your trial - and that you will shortly recover after a week of little children involvement. I adore small children and doing stuff with them, BUT don't they make one tired?
And what a gorgeous photo of that little 7month old......he looks like he means business. As Doodle says, "just revving up". Mmmm !!
Fabulous to hear from dear Izabella and equally dear Panache - both concerned for their partners. Good luck to both lovely chaps for upcoming tests/proposed eye surgery.
Hope you are feeling lots more together now after your fall, Soop and able to whisk about in those pretty little shoes. Maybe MacS has decided to have you wired for sound - just in case he has to go out or turn his back for a moment and.....down you go! Better safe than sorry. Very seriously, please be careful x
Is everything settling down for the increasingly injured members of Soop's TumbleTots now? (The nursery class for one of my children was called that, many years ago) Horrid to hear about falls and accidents. Hopefully you will be able to make a perfectly normal public appearance, Fennel, panda eyes or not, because masks and sunglasses do hide almost everything. Do hope that everyone is feeling better and that there are no ongoing complications. We need to be extra careful - my DH said that to me yesterday when we both agreed in the street that looking down whilst wearing a mask means that there is quite a blind spot where we put our feet. He had almost been felled by a small toddler running across his path. You honestly don't see hazards so easily when wearing a mask, e.g. dodgy paving slabs and edges of pavements.
I am about to repair to the garden with my book and a Magnum and enjoy some peace and quiet. No washing of groceries today, the shop was kindly conducted by His Master's Voice yesterday morning, so I was lucky there. However, I did wash all the wretched stuff before putting it away; and in the afternoon was reliably informed by my Doctor that there is "plenty plenty Covid" here in town. So, I shall keep up this boring exercise for a bit longer at least and we'll be wearing our masks EVERYWHERE from today. Tis the law and we don't want to pay a large fine for non-compliance.
Have a happy day if poss., everyone. Take it easy and stay safe.
Warm hugs from the Med'.
and plenty of virtual HUGS.
. They say that if (when) there is another lock-down they will kidnap me! Shouldn't that be 'gran-nap'?
