Wishing you a very good night sleep Doodle
It's good that you had the operation. Are you in plaster?
Comfrey oil on the affected arm will help. it you can access both arm and oil
Louis et Camille did mote gardening today but I've allowed them a day off tomorrow 
I hope you are well drugged Doodle, if your experience is anything like Grams I think you'll need the strong stuff.
I hope your Mil is up to going out with you, even if it's just for a garden visit or coffee.
Yes, Cherry the lunch was fine but I shall definitely ask for the small version next time. I used to get that at first but think the server has assumed that because I'm a big person, I must need the bigger portion. Nothing could be further from the truth andI don't like wasting food.
DS is coming for breakfast with both dgc tomorrow. It's dgs 14th birthday as well. I've bought him a touch lamp and some comedy socks.
I've given up on the book. I shall wait to see if the publishers ever get back to me and if they do I shall decide then whether to carry on or decline.
My thought go out to all our sad, struggling and suffering gangstars. 
Picture is one taken this morning by my friend as she walked her dogs. Thought I'd share the beauty with you.
Broken arms held by concrete.
Falling down flights of concrete steps.
All this messy hair! What has happened to the gang.
This was never in the plan.
The Raku firings went mostly well today apart from an exploding tile.
Louis et Camille had a day out and enjoyed a drive along the Tweed with a few hours in Melrose. The abbey was closed due to falling masonry.
There's a lot of it about.
Cocoa soup sounds awful so luckily it wasn't. Fennel and coconut so quite unusual.
The film tonight was Japanese -Tokyo story. Soporific so I dropped off.
Here are a few of the pieces we fired today.
Yes Gram, none of it was in our plans but that destiny which shapes our ends clearly had other ideas. I wish I could see your raku pieces; they are just a blur now 
Doodle what a loving, helpful family you have. If your dgs is anything like mine, he'll enjoy being your guardian angel for a while. A nice project for all.
Jan if you don't stop thinking of yourself as a wimp, I'll fly over there on my broomstick and smack your legs!
I am just like you inasmuch as I have to be careful of every step now. If I am with someone who doesn't realise just how blind I am, it is really scary. That's not wimpish, it's good common sense.
The driver, a sweet little man from Alabama with a pleasant, southern accent, who ferries me to and fro for the Sallies lunch, walked ahead of me across the church’s potholed car park to courteously open his car door for me.
Meanwhile I shuffled with fairy-steps, very frightened that I'd fall.
If I did, it would mean crawling to something I could hoist myself up on.
Typically, people rush to hoist your arms and heave upwards. All this does is damage my arthritic shoulders. Very embarrassing and totally useless. So caution is better.
Karen is still away, not sure why this time. Last Monday it was because her father died but as she absolutely loathed him and often wished for this very outcome, I doubt it’s grief.
Grammaretto I am in the flight path of some planes so perhaps I'll lie a white sheet on the lawn and paint a saltire on it, and wave as you fly over
I'll let you know when I fly over Kaimoana it's still a very long way off.NZ is a long way off too
I wonder why Karen has gone AWAL?
Maybe it's the guilt she feels about not loving her dad?
That's super Doodle that your DS are looking after you..
I was on a walk today while C&L ill be calling them that worked like slaves in the garden.
I have hired a skip to be delivered tomorrow to remove the enormous pile of rubbish they and my lodger have unearthed.
And they are cooking again later so I can go out to yet another AGM.
Here are some photos of the walk I love May
The Raku pieces are fabulous Grammaretto. Not sure which ones I like the most, I think the tiles are beautiful but the penguins are adorable - they're all fab.
Wow, a skip full of rubbish unearthed from your garden! I think I like C&L (and your lodger) 😁. Can I borrow them to come and sort out our garage the decluttering has bypassed it so far 
🤣 Not entirely convinced by their soup even though it didn't contain cocoa as I'm not a fan of fennel. What will they cook tonight I wonder 🤔.
Btw - love the view from your walk.
From your description of your hair Doodle I think we could be twins 😁. My hair is very fat thick and if I wore it too short it would be quite unruly. I don't know about you but one trick I do to keep it tame is to put a little conditioner on my fingertips, run my fingers through my wet hair and leave it in. I'm glad you've got the feeling back in your arm 😁
Odd about Karen Kaimoana but maybe Grammaretto is right about her feeling guilty.
Still not feeling too good and I'm meant to go on my walk tomorrow - we'll see...
It's lunchtime and I'm still in my dressing gown. I don't care.
Cherry what makes you think I wait until the shortbread is cool to test it?
Gram are you sure you don't need an archaeologist rather than a skip?
Hope Jan and Doodle are progressing well. Nfk how are you?
Cold but sunny here; must hunt out the winter clothing.
Dogs tomorrow
