Hope you don’t mind, Grandmafrench, but I’ve taken the liberty of copying and pasting your post from GM Saturday. If not what you want, I’ll ask HQ to remove:-
Today 08:53 Grandmafrench
Good Morning everyone and to everyone in the UK who was shouting for The Team last night, well done and good luck. Onwards and ever upwards (and a special thank you for helping to extend Nannagarra’s opportunities for even more online ? shopping! Make it count Ng, it’ll be a while before you get such a god chance again, I expect.?
Lovely afternoon tea, GrandmaB - and think you may have found the perfect way to sedate angry flare-ups in your Mum? Worth a try. Just watch how many times you lift a scone to your lips with that painful wrist.?
Morning Laura and the lovely Daisy. In our last house it was not unknown for a cow to breathe on one of our windows!
daisend1 what a fabulous place you live in…..even if it rains sometimes. Simply beautiful.
Had an easy day yesterday but since it was so hot, I did a couple of things I’d been putting off. I painted (indoors where it was cool and not 31 degrees at supper time) a little drawer unit. Today I shall seal the chalk paint against cat activity! I thoroughly enjoyed - for the first time ever- defrosting the chest freezer in the garage because it was very fast and I enjoyed the change in temperature!
Too much pool splashing, eating outdoors, inhaling the perfume of the flowers, watching the birds etc., etc., can have the effect (sometimes) of making one a bit less sharp and aware. So…..taking life rather too much for granted, I didn’t bother to check the forecast before going to bed.
At 7.30 this morning and possibly because we hadn’t heard the consistent gentle rain outside, a thunderclap was wheeled out to announce the arrival of a torrential downpour. I lay in bed making a mental list of my errors : a ‘dog throw’ on the line, dry when I passed it last night in locking the garage; a garden filled with large cushions, 2 snoozing cats who had refused to move when I invited them to come in to bed. I suppose the cover was on the trailer and all car windows closed, so we haven’t completely lost the plot, and everything will dry again with the promise of sunshine until a week on Wednesday, That will be the one dodgy day I will forget again, no doubt, and the process will be repeated! Plus side? Cats moved to shelter, no harm done, no garden watering today and I can catch up with some housework before a busy week : hairdresser tomorrow, Rheumatologist on Tuesday, demand for my appearance to collect my residence card on Thursday. I already have a card to allow me a further 10 years in France but because of B****t, we had to apply for yet another. Fingerprints too! Just in case I’ve changed my fingerprints since last year, I assume. Oh well, c’est la Guerre!
Hope you all have a good day and that this will herald a good week to come. Hope and good wishes sent to those in need - including GC’s in trouble and family members causing worry.
If you’re off on a trip, good for you. Safe journeys and good weather. If you’re not don’t forget you all deserve treats, so organise those where you can - quite a lot of catching up involved after our lengthy incarceration, remember?
Hugs from me and from France to all ??
