MaryDoll I am sorry but I’d did have a giggle at you throwing yourself out of the path of horses, I hope only your pride was injured, rest and relaxation are my orders for you today!

Good morning all from bright but cloudy Harrogate. Another place for your new furniture is an online shop Wayfair , similar prices to IKEA, some is flat pack and some is made up. GrandMattie
Yesterday DH had a hospital appointment at 8am, he walked to the hospital but I (who gave up driving earlier this year) had to pick him up!! I stared this post 2 hours ago but got interrupted which is normal in this house! Yesterday afternoon we went for a lovely walk round Ripley Castle gardens. It’s a beautiful village built in a French style.
Today hopefully will get a trip to Lidl for exotic shopping!! This afyibeli E I will be landed with DGD. No problem there but she is hyperactive
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a lovely bright Co Armagh, nice but nippy .
I made myself stay in bed today , I have joined the ranks of bad sleepers and getting like a chewed string , nodding off mid afternoon!
The AGM of our wed club is this morning , I haven’t typed up my notes from last year , but promised madam president I’ll read from my notes ….. if I can decipher them !
I can’t type , DD did it for me last year, but the complaints about my scribble made me not ask again , I tell her it’s not bad handwriting, it’s her eyes !!
Best wishes and 🕯️ for all

Good morning Mick and all from hot and sunny Lancashire.

The weather turned warm and sunny yesterday afternoon. My mammogram appointment went Ok, the blood test clinic was heaving and had had to close its doors early. I will need to check out the times for our nearest one. MrB has gone to Lidl, I will go and help him put the shopping away. I have lots more shredding to do, this afternoon I will try out my new pedometer.

Beautiful pics LadyLFL, great that you can spend time with your brother.

Hope the pesky knee is on the mend Taichinan.

I’m sorry you’re poorly on your birthday Grammaretto, hope it’s gone by the weekend.

Love the ship Mizuna so clever.

Another Marydoll adventure day, you do make me chuckle but I’m sure it was far from funny at the time. A definite win on the dress shopping though. The shop assistant must have good taste to compliment you on your style. I use the snow basket on my trekking pole when we visit our nearest beach, which has miles of beautiful dunes. If the sand is really soft I have to crawl on my hands and knees! Please rest today.

Thinking of all our poorlies, Baggs, Kalu and Urms are never far from my thoughts flowers

Have a good day all.🌻

Good morning from sunny West Sussex.

I rashly volunteered to accompany DGD1 (19) when she takes DGD2 (8) swimming. The 8 year old absolutely adores her cousin but doesn’t often get to spend time with her. DGD1 can be a bit scatty which is why I volunteered to be a back-up adult. Unfortunately the pool is nearly an hour away from me so my plans for today are scuppered. It’s lovely to see them together though.

Happy birthday Grammaretto. Hope the cold clears up quickly.

Marydoll, I despair! It sounds like a great day though 🙂

Susan hope your cyst heals speedily.

I must go and hang the washing out before going swimming.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Happy Birthday grammaretto! Hope you can sleep that cold away.
Mizuna that pastry shop is magnificent! And I love his sense of humour as well 😂

Taichinan Wed 16-Aug-23 11:35:26

Pastry SHIP, not shop!

Yes it’s my go-to place as well GG13 - I too am an RHS member. This time with a friend, I know it’ll be busy (mainly the parking) but plenty of space to spread out after that. And am looking forward to the cake!

Honestly, Marydoll, I'm surprised they let you out of the house! gringrin I've lived right next to dunes and the most exciting thing I ever saw were rabbits who lived in among the marram grass. But I agree they are very difficult to walk on when you're disabled. You go down and down rather than up and up. Well, I did anyway!
