Thank you so much NannaG, I don't think any one of us would refer to you as a gatecrasher. You're always welcome if you have a moment to post. I'm soooo tired this evening, I can hardly see, but tiredness today after a long afternoon waiting to see the Rheumatologist (for 2 of us with only 1 working leg each until recently), made me order a Pizza and salad for supper. Now, of course, I'm too full to sleep. We never eat late but the day has run away with us. Details to bore you all will follow.
Lovely reverse psychology in your comment about my comical birthday card, gill. I think we all have wishful ideas about our appearance - it's hard admitting that the years have caught up and I always try to look in the mirror without my glasses on. Much better outcome, I find, and in spite of my delusions I always feel cheered after that!
Thank you, all of you lovely peeps for your birthday wishes. It's very much appreciated.
Wanting to give a small shout to Muse who is facing the traffic and the hospital tomorrow for a biopsy. Be positive and braver than I would be, dear lady. It is going to be fine and the very best thing is 'they' are dealing with it very quickly and minimising the time for worry and uncertainty. You'll be back to your lovely looking self quick as a wink, you'll see. Hope that Mr Muse's legs are well and truly on the mend now and there will be no traffic queues or accidents to plague your journey tomorrow.
Doodle step away from all talk of exploding heads. If you don't know about it, you'll be fine. ?. Nannytopsy would I open cards or presents when it's NOT my birthday? Honestly I'm not that type of gal.
A lovely picnic and a trip out tomorrow, Blossoming. You certainly deserve that after wading through all that paperwork. From what you say, there were 6 important sheets to file - everything else to go out! I'd certainly feel Mrs Smuggins if I had completed such a task. Well worth it. I have to be in the mood to do that, but would agree it gives you a really good feeling to tidy up both mind and space sometimes. Enjoy your trip.
Fennel you are funny. We all get together here for what soop would call 'a good blether'. That can sometimes involve saying quite a lot about very little and having a thoroughly good time and a laugh whilst doing it. Don't wait for an invitation - we love your company.
Panache it seems you are also a Wisteria. How lovely. Hope you are managing a few little smiles. Sending hugs to you. x
Wonder how dear Izabella is getting on. A lot of things going on in the garden at this time of year I shouldn't wonder.
Brook you are a scream. If there's an Olympic sport for re-tracing steps, changing plans - and clothes - and being adaptable at the drop of a hat, think you're likely to get a Gold very soon! Hellogirl how grand you are needing steps to get into a car. I can't believe it's just short little legs! Anyway, be of good cheer, you do have a Hudson and Nice Hair..........
What are you eating for breakfast these days, Jax - it must be at least 3 Shredded Wheat. Your housekeeping and organising Mojo seems to have gone into overdrive. I am longing to catch up. Maybe next week - only have the hairdresser booked. The rest of the time to ourselves. Hurrah!
soop lovely to find nice things like new towels which have been long forgotten, all tucked away safely. You must, of course, use them. It's not a treat, it's what you deserve.
Hope things are not too difficult, susan and you're taking care of yourself. All other Kitcheners, I wish you a very restorative and peaceful night's sleep, corner dreaming about her lovely new car, anno fresh new drifts of that perfect climbing rose, and dusty a chilled glass of virtual champers when I get to have my postponed birthday treat hopefully next week.......legs willing.
Nighty night. ???
