Happy Friday! 😁 I am at the hospital for my tests. I am finished with echo and have the IV and medicine for the nuclear stress test but have to wait 45 minutes. Then the test and another 45 minutes after that. Total 2 1/2 hour test. Won’t get results probably for 5 days.
Going out with Cheryl and her SIL tonight to listen to one band.
Have a great day!

Hello, just putting along here. Yesterday, I fell asleep after a day of chores and didn’t wake up in time to write a post.
Another busy day. Sorting things and trying to toss out and/or make another stack of things to donate to goodwill and another for the library. Give me a couple of years and I may make some progress. 👀 really!
I did call to cancel my tv service this morning. Fairly long wait as they couldn’t get the change to process. A tag team of 2 service representatives finally said they had it figured out. Should not renew on June 1st. And I have to drive downtown and stand in line to return that Android box they just installed. Probably on Wednesday.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Back to work.

Hi Sandy, I am having those tests done in August. Fingers crossed for good results.
Lin dear, you are always very busy. Hope your aches and pains are a little better now.
My family is arriving for the weekend, so chores today.

Happy Saturday!
Had a fun night last night but did not sleep well. The kiddos should be arriving any minute so their parents can go to funeral. I was hoping to go to pool but it might be too chilly.
There is always the playground if they get bored inside.
No time to chat, have a nice day.

I wasn’t going to take George and Betty on the moors this morning but in the end it made sense to go later, then meet Sheila at the Post Office for our coffee and cake. I was a bit early so sat on a bench seat overlooking the village green with the pooches to watch the cute lambs bouncing about with their mums. It was sunny and warm so we sat outside with our coffee and slice of delicious ginger and treacle cake! The hard wooden seat soon made Sheila’s back ache so when we finished we strolled along a level, quiet road until she could straighten up then it was home to plant a few more veggies in a raised bed. This time it was dwarf beans, Chinese cabbage and turnips. A pot of peas in pods hadn’t taken so I’ve got more planted with fingers crossed.
This afternoon I had a long telephone conversation with my dear friend Anne. We were at school together and at one point we were trying to remember when I spent Christmas with her and her family and how much we knew about another mutual friend’s family saga a million years ago!!
It’s a beautiful evening so I will water plant pots then chill. George has been to bark at someone in next door’s garden, as ever on guard! Another Bank holiday weekend for us and what with the recent Coronation long weekend we are all feeling this is one too many!
A pretty teapot Lin. 🍇🍇
Happy Saturday.

Hi! I haven’t done much today. Sorting out some books to donate. Pretty much just in misery all the time.
Well, hope to find some sort of solution.
Be safe everyone.

Another busy day trying to get somethings done that were past due. Have done a thorough house cleaning the last 2 days including dusting all of the items that collect dust sitting up on top of the kitchen cabinets. It was also time to rearrange the items in my glass door cabinets, which is part of the entertainment center. Sure I will shuffle some of those items around a time or two. I won't tell you when I did this last.
I purchased some new walking shoes yesterday, which I am trying to decide if I will keep them. I have a hard time finding shoes to fit me. Breaking both baby toes in the past 5 yrs has something to do with that. Still keep a medical boot around here just in case I have foot issues again. Anne I sure hope you are getting some support for your foot. Have you thought of at least wrapping it in an ace bandage ? It needs to heal properly so you don't take a fall. So important of you want to stay in your charming little place. Thinking of you.
Cooler today up to 80 allowing us to have the slider open for the day. It was windy, but it keep the warmer air quite comfortable. I will take any of these cooler days I can get knowing the real heat is just around the corner.
I see most of you are in the midst of planting some vegetables. I am just trying to get to the nursery to get another couple of plants for a front flowerbed. All of our rain this past winter killed a few plants. The soil is hardpan, so it is a job to replant there again. Hubby made an attempt a month ago to dig one of the holes to plant one of the new plants when we get them. Just hoping the two I plan on planting survive. The last one had to be at least 15 yrs old. I thought we were losing our camellias too, but with the warmer weather, sunshine and appropriate watering I think they are coming back. Saw a flyer on another house in our community, which had much less yard work to be done, plus the interior remodeling was already done. However the thought of moving again even if minimal blocks away isn't intriguing enough to check it out.
Take care everyone and hello to those we don't hear from too often.

Had a wonderful almost pain free day yesterday! Then went to bed and somehow twisted it again in the bed sheets. I think I will wrap the instep in one of those bandages that Diane mentioned. Thanks DIANE. I’ve broken my big toe and little ones in the distant past. I was running on a beach once and struck a rock and lost some toe nails at the same time. One of the joys of old age is us girls don’t run girlishly on sandy rock strewn beaches any more.
Pretty teapot LIN, but I wouldn’t like to wash it! Far too clumsy. Hope you feel better very soon.

It’s a beautiful day and we still have a north easterly breeze that I’m beginning to think will be with us forever but at least it’s stopping the Atlantic storms hitting us. I took George and Betty for an early walk round the block and am now nibbling a light apple and cheese lunch while planning some major repotting of tomato plants. George is having one of his annoying barking moods that no amount of me talking to him stops. Betty is snoozing happily!
Yesterday afternoon a huge swarm of honey bees flew overhead on their way to the lower village and for once I was grateful my hives have been moved away. I wonder if someone now has bees in a chimney or under the eaves! It was fun while it lasted but beekeeping can be hard work.
Hi Diane. After looking about at different properties I think like you, too much effort to up sticks at my age. My property does have a lot going for it so I’ll continue to ignore the annoying neighbours!
Another cute teapot Lin but like Anne, I would probably snap those branches in no time! Sorry to see you are still suffering and Anne with your foot. Strapping it at bedtime might be a good idea.
Lunch finished so time to get those tomato plants repotted. Charmaine’s seeds she sent are doing well. I have a line of beetroot in a raised bed together with pots of Basil and Coriander all sitting up. There is a small envelope of pretty blue Morning Glory that I’m tempted to grow up the other side of netting my French beans are beginning to cling to.
Hello to everyone.

Happy Sunday! Its going to be a beautiful day for the pool and that's where I will be all afternoon.
Kids went for a short time yesterday but the water is still very cold. They didn't seem to mind and we were there for about an hour. Parents came back in time for me to make it to Mass so a good day in all.
Nothing exciting going on here so I wish you all a great day.

Besides our usual groceries, we picked up a bag of potting soil and a cucumber plant to put in the raised bed. Yesterday I finished pulling all the weeds in the iris garden so now I'm on to spreading bark which is a very meditative practice interspersed with walking to the bark pile to refill the buckets. An hour a day accomplishes a lot. Jake has spread a lot of the bark this year so the yard is likely to be finished much earlier than in years before. As I hear about your various aches and pains, I am so grateful that for today, I am doing well in the mobility department. If I had grandchildren they would have to be the kind that filled their days with reading and walking (or some other self directed) physical activity. Fortunately, the only grandchildren we have live far away and have other grandparents who dote on them.

Hello friends. I watched church online, messed about with the OTA antennas again trying to receive more channels. 🤦🏼♀️ Wish I knew which antenna was the strongest. They all claim to be fabulous you know.
Otherwise, I am trying some new things to ease my back misery. I think several are helping a bit.
It sounds as if everyone is having a good weekend.
Jackie, Kerry and Angela got a new puppy. So adorable! They called him Mini Max for a day and then decided on Tully I think. Two other puppies in the litter are Hamish and George. I don’t know who adopted them and they are not disclosing who they purchased from. Only information is the pup is from Scotland.
So tomorrow I believe I will plant green beans and the tomato plants that were finally delivered last evening.
Be safe everyone.

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day to those who celebrate. Having a pool party with my friends at the pool and Cheryl, Marisa and Cathy are also coming. Later I will make steaks on the grill. Should be a fun relaxing day. Ordered groceries to be delivered at 9pm last night so I could bring my share to the party.
Every item was in stock which amazed me seeing as it is a holiday weekend.
Enjoy you day and I hope your weather is as good as ours.

Sorry I didn’t get back yesterday. I fell asleep again!
Tomato plants potted, more green beans planted, everything watered and sprayed the deck of all my potting soil spills.
Today is a day of errands.
Wishing everyone well.

Another busy day for me doing what I love. On the way to the moors I detoured into town to obtain cash to pay Barney, then we walked a shorter route in a rather cold wind. Nothing new there! I’ve cut the lawn, weeded a bed and helped Barney dispose of the branches of Laurel and Hazel that he cut down. He is working a couple of hours at a time so will be back in about 3 weeks. It turned into a very warm day so I covered my face and arms in Factor 50 and continued to potter. I see my Chinese greens seeds have sprouted as well as Nasturtiums Charmaine sent.
Time for a cup of tea before closing everything. I left the roof of the hen house raised because Lupin is still broody and it can get very hot inside.
Love the strawberry teapot Lin. Hello to everyone else.
Happy Tuesday.

Happy Tuesday! Had a great time at the pool yesterday and my steaks on the grill were a big hit.
Unfortunately, they are closing the pool today through Saturday to fix a leak or skimming problem or something. We are told they will probably drain the pool which means it will be freezing when they refill.
I am sitting later and meeting Lisa at their pool so she can leave to go to a meeting and I will stay and watch the kiddos until they are tired of swimming. Lisa's 13th sober birthday is today so I am sure they will have a cake for her at her meeting.
Tomorrow I am going to see Grease in a live play and then an early dinner with friends. Thursday my meeting and therapy, Friday dentist and then spending the night at kiddos house so they can get up early in the morning for the five hour drive to pick up the new puppy. Robby will go with but I will stay with the two little ones and they asked me to bring Max to karate so he can see his instructor get hit in the face with a pie. Must be some kind of tradition. Sunday we are taking Marisa out for her 18th birthday. Another busy week which seems to be the theme this summer.
Have a great day.
