What a gorgeous photo Ann, thanks for sharing and enjoy watching the football later
A very Happy Anniversary Scapal, have a great holiday in Jersey and never mind the weather, it’ll be better than here! 😎😎
Nannyg4 sending ❤️ to you and your family
I’m so pleased to report the sun actually came out today here - so lovely after day after day of clouds. The garden is looking a bit better but we need a good few days of sunshine and warmth to dry the soil out and get some flowers blooming
Sausage and mash for tea Jax?
Stunning sunset photo Soop nothing better than that at the end of the day x

Evening everyone! It’s been a crazy week but today has been a rest day, with a delicious pub lunch. Now ironing in front of the football.
It’s our wedding anniversary tomorrow but that should be spent gardening. And shopping.
Go on England!

Mr and Mrs Scapal, congratulations on reaching your 51st wedding anniversary. The card is brilliant. May you share many more happy years together. flowers

Jax Good for you! Sausages a plenty for the foreseeable.

The Wimbledon final was amazing. It is time for me to store my umpire's chair for the time being. hmm

Yia Special thoughts winging their way to Yia and her husband. flowers

Congratulations & best wishes fir a happy Anniversary, Nannytopsy, flowers winewine.

I really enjoyed watching the tennis finals, yes,*soop*, the men's doubles were good, especially as a British man involved on the winning side.!
How lovely to see the Princess of Wales & Princess Charlotte at the men's final.
My real delight was watching Alfie Hewitt win the wheelchair singles title for the first time, also the doubles with his partner Gordon Reid, (6th time?)
Alfie is a favourite of mine, (maybe as he hails from Norfolk!)
( I knew my England flag was up for a reason, hmm)

Lovely photo, annsixty, sounds like you had a good, if tiring Birthday.

Warm thoughts for you all. x

Jaxjacky Mon 15-Jul-24 17:54:13

A dull wet day, thanks St Swithun 🙂
Voluntary phone today and it’s been busy, in between call pick up the kitchen had a quick clean, sausages split up and frozen down, chat with my son.
Quiz tonight, I’m not feeling clever, still, either you know it or you don’t.

annsixty Mon 15-Jul-24 18:15:30

Good evening all.
I didn’t make it out last evening , a combination of events conspired against us and we had to cancel the booking as we couldn’t make the early one and the venue couldn’t give us a later one due to the football.
I can’t say I was too disappointed.

Lovely news about your S Jax I just wish my S could meet someone and settle down but I don’t think it will happen.
My D is also on her own but she is happy and fulfilled, a different setup.

It was a nice morning here but started raining late afternoon, not a good omen for St Swithin’s day.

New airfryer to try tonight so I am waiting for my GD’s help.
Thinking of those waiting for news or just waiting.

Have the best evening you can everyone.

Congratulations to your son and partner Jax, a wedding to look forward to how lovely.
Yesterday wasn’t very good news.The cancer has spread to the liver.The options are, if DH is fit enough, to operate on the bowel cancer and then chemotherapy on the liver or chemotherapy for both.This morning it doesn’t seem real and we both feel in a bubble even though we have our family and friends around us.The next stage is an MRI and another meeting.As far as our sons wedding is concerned we have been told to go and enjoy it so we will.Thanks for letting me unload on here.Warm wishes to you all.

annsixty Tue 16-Jul-24 09:37:05

Dearest Yia not the news you hoped for but have faith that the medics will do all they can to help your DH.
Many have been through this, some still are, so we have some small idea of how you all feel today.
It doesn’t help I know but we are all silently cheering you both on and if prayers help they will be for you both.flowers

Grandmabatty Tue 16-Jul-24 10:21:29
