A misty and rather murky day which is disappointing after yesterday's sunshine. After the usual walk in local woods I'm home while the gardener lady does some tidying for me. Housework seems to be calling me so vacuum cleaner and mop at the ready! A quick trip into town later to visit an old friend who has barred incoming calls on his phone even though he left a message for me to ring him! He has a form of Parkinsons so I understand anonymous calls would be annoying but there should be a way to filter them.
Anne, Theresa had a reputation for being difficult before she became PM and behaved in a similar manner when she called a snap election a couple of years ago that she then nearly lost.... doesn't seem to learn from her mistakes so yes, decided she and she alone would deal with our exit from the EU even though she voted against it! The referendum result is being ignored because MP's think they know better but come the revolution as they say.....!!!
If I turn the page back all will be lost so I'll get on with my housework and hopefully pop back later.

Good morning. Tai Chi day! Always a happy day. Yesterday put me back on a happier path. Lovely time with the Mah Jongg ladies and then I actually did a bit of old fashioned walking about and shopping. Picked up dish washing soap in one store, shampoo from a shop that unfortunately is going out of business (and this has been my shampoo supplier for several years), some general wandering about and looking, and finally a tiny serving of cold brewed coffee before returning home.
And the rain was not heavy overnight, thank heavens since many places are still flooded. Just a bit foggy this morning.
Jackie, it is good of you to stop by to talk with your friend. I agree, there must be some way to give permission for calls from certain numbers to be allowed through. You would think so anyway. Our former pastor had some strange service on his home phone that gave you a recorded message saying calls were not allowed. He only kept his cell phone with open access. His wife was unwell and he didn’t want her bothered.
Buzz, sorry you lost posts again.
I can’t risk a page back either. MFP won’t even allow food entries for me today. That might be a hint.
Best wishes to all. Hugs.

Mmmm JACKIE. It's a good job the British people never took to the guillotine and are good natured and patient on the whole! (I would say Theresa isn't a history buff. King John and all that) 9 days to D (depart) day. At the moment it looks as if all the elected will still be the same old.... bickering and collecting their wages! Maybe that's the problem you know. They don't want all the upheaval and work connected to upsetting the Apple cart.🍎🍎🍎
The first day of spring, glorious sunshine AND it's warming up. Our little world is a-stirring and a-rustling. I'm eying last Octobers remaining fallen leaves 🍁🍂 with itchy fingers. Swollen rivers with melting ice, yes it's arrived with the flowers that bloom in the spring tra la!
And the washing machine is churning away, time to take The Bean for a nice long walk.
Happy day to you all,
Anne. 🙃❤️🐶0 -
Happy Wednesday!!
Got up at 6:45 which you know is early for me and I am now back almost three hours later from my nuclear stress test. I was able to do the treadmill even though they didn't make me run. They said it is a better reading than just getting the injection. I am not anticipating any problems I just requested this test to be sure I don't have any heart problems. I had to reschedule the hand test until next week so two more tests to go.
I watched the kiddos and puppy while Lisa ran her errands (which is why I go to help) but I have to admit it was very hectic. One falls and cries the other hits his head and cries and the baby wasn't happy either. lol My son who was working from home got annoyed that Lisa took so long at the store and I of course as his mother told him to have more patience., poor Lisa has the kids everyday by herself. I do know because he is bipolar things upset more than average but he was kind enough this morning to apologize to both me and Lisa and told us he loved us.
Tonight is bingo night and I really hope I win for my casino trip next Monday.
Have a wonderful day, it is raining and chilly here.

One Day at a Time0 -
Popped by during lunch to see if anyone had posted and somehow I got into another group. It was all about ones least favourite things in this 21st century. Batman was right up there. Along with someone called Beyoncé? Restaurants I'd never heard of, what's new, and beets of all things! Well I didn't contribute being somewhat long in the tooth compared to all the baby boomers, but it got me thinking.
For me it's high rises. Condominium on top of condominium. Condominium to the left and condominium to the right and I look at these square concrete boxes and all I can see is box upon box of bathrooms.
Might be fun to know your least favourite thing! PATSY, something other than spiders if you have a go!
Anne.0 -
Funny question, ANNE! It would hardly be least favorite because I no longer cruise, but I do think the appearance of cruise ships today looks more like condominiums on water instead of those beautiful graceful ships of yore! Right now my least favorite thing is those constant blocked calls I get day and night, especially the ones that give my own name and number as the caller The phone company says they cannot control or stop these calls so my phone rings all day long!!!
SANDY, sounds like the baby sitting is not an easy job! You are indeed a sympathetic MIL!
I've been trying to get my pain management set up for weeks now and finally discovered the papers were sitting in a file with my name , in the nurses clinic...just sitting, unread! Hopefully, they will start doing something for me soon, now that I brought up the question! I simply cannot walk any longer. Wouldn't an injection of some kind help? GGgrrrrrrr!
I think I'll simply make some light dinner in my apartment tonight so I will get a guest meal next week when my dear cousin's daughter (only 10 years younger than I) comes for lunch. She's coming from Boston, and I love that she always makes time for lunch on her golfing trip. I'm not up to going out so I invited her here and I'm hoping our new Bistro will open this week!
Has anyone received an email from Google + telling you to save your stuff as they are closin down soon? I never heard of Google+ but I saw Sandy's name and a couple of others, and I wont click on any links because I don't know who or what it's about! Buzz

Buzz, I've had that message from Google today but as far as I'm aware have never used Google plus so am ignoring it. If I did ever use it but have forgotten then it can't be anything important I'm about to lose and definitely safer not to download a virus if that's what it is!! I'll add this to Anne's list of things to hate in 21st century... dodgy internet messages!!
Jackie0 -
Google+, I have received several of those messages. I have used it for the Hangouts I believe. I don’t think I ever had anything in addition to one photo out there.
I am not concerned. If so should be, someone let me know!
Hugs.

Hi Sneakers
I had a double mastectomy yesterday but got home today about 1 pm. They sure don’t keep you in the hospital long anymore. I am feeling pretty good. Way better than I expected it to be. I will have to wait for the pathology reports to determine the treatment I will need to have. I won’t get that for about 2 weeks. Darn.
Jeri2 -
Oh Jeri! One day in the hospital!!!! I hope you continue to feel pretty good to very good. Goodness, a long wait once again.
Much love.
Lin0 -
Jeri! You are remarkable! I am hoping and praying for good test reports and maybe minimal treatment going forward. The ladies I know have had so many different types of protocols, there doesn’t seem to anything that usually happens. Your doctor will be planning your next step. We will be standing by with high hopes and as much love and friendship as you can stand. You are in our hearts and prayers.
Patsy0 -
Goodness Jeri, home already and if you are feeling pretty good then for sure you are in the best place, surrounded by your family's love. Another horrid wait for more results but that must surely mean they are being thorough so rest, relax and know we are thinking of you and sending a mass of hugs.
Jackie0 -
JERI, I've just awoke to your news! Can hardly believe you are home already! But you are in the best place possible with your loving family. Get lots of rest and lots of spoiling. We are all united in sending you a massive hug and lots of love.
🌷🌷🌷❤️🌷🌷🌷
Anne.0 -
Jeri, I cannot believe you are home already but I do know you will get all the love, care and support you need from your loving family. Rest, get spoiled as Anne said and know that we are praying for you and hopefully it will be an easy recovery. 0

Overcast and chilly today. The forecast is for a few days of cloudy and somewhat chilly days. It is a voice from God....”Patsy! Get on with your cleaning. Get some progress every day. Work in the dungeon everyday as well. And be positive! Clouds outside doesn’t mean gloomy inside.”
That’s my goal these days. Not too hard but at times impossible for me. I get stuck in the minusia of life. I can spend half a day cleaning out my kitchen drawers. Little crumbs just show up in the bottom of the drawers? Who? Why? Anyway!
Patsy0 -
JERI
From ALL of us! I cannot believe how quickly you were discharged, but I think the problem of untreatable germs has become huge! Wishing you the best , dear friend.
My hands are numb and severely tingly right now, and typing is disastrous as the mistakes are difficult to keep correcting.
ANNE, love your new avatar!
Blessing on all of my dear friends, including LIN, JACKIE, PATSY,SANDY.................. Buzz
........................Always Believe Something Wonderful is About to Happen............................0 -
Thanks BUZZ. Took photo this morning in the bathroom. So sorry about your tingly and numb hands. Something I get but nowhere near as bad as poor you. I agree, I understand super bugs are becoming a real problem in Canadian hospitals. I just hope you had a pain free and comfortable day JERI.
Quiet day here, mainly because it never stopped raining. Still a few snow heaps around.
Anne. Quiet evening as well I expect!0 -
I had a wake-up experience I have been needing to lose weight but was not really being realistic about my eating.
Well, I fell getting out of bed at 2 AM. I had to crawl into the living room where my phone was which took me 6 hrs.
I had to go to the hospital via ambulance (I had the flu) I am fine now but the experience made me accept that it was time to get very serious about my weight. I have to lose 100 lbs.1 -
George woke me in the middle of the night barking outside after he had again taken himself through 2 catflaps. Disturbed sleep had me yawning all day! Just lost 2 posts and trying to get to bed! Dentist this morning in Plymouth has given me a temporary filling until next appointment but a 2 month wait... hope it survives!
Weather gloomy and foggy but it's supposed to brighten up at the weekend. We'll see!!
A little bit at a time when it comes to jobs to be done, that's me too Patsy. So many plans but the days just go!
So sorry about your hands being numb Buzz. What's going on?
Time for bed. Will let dogs out one last time and hope George stays put tonight!
God bless Jeri.
Jackie0 -
LESUTHERLplease use your signature as my memory is not what it used to be!So sorry bout your health problems but you are now on the right track! Good luck.
With my hands, it's either neuropathy, carpal tunnel, or old age! The gabapentin helps somewhat, but at least the burning is not as bad as it was! Tomorrow morning I must get the bus at 8:50 AM, so I'd better get to bed shortly! New hearing aids are in the office and I had no other means to get there. Buzz
........................Always Believe Something Wonderful is About to Happen............................0 -
The fog has lifted but still grey clouds drifting across the sky so my biggest decision today, shall I put bedding through a wash cycle or not?
Think I'll walk the dogs and think about it when we get home. George got himself through the cat flaps out in the garden again, this time 5am and I'm wondering if Brady is leading him astray. It would be just like him to tempt George with a poor little shrew or other prey.
Apart from a pedicure this afternoon there's not much else happening but I need to motivate myself to get a grip of my list of DIY jobs. Hmm, walk first then keep away from all news political before I blow a gasket!! 😤😤
Happy Friday
Jackie0 -
Not surprised you are about to throw a gasket JACKIE! Me too. Mike will be here this morning but he will probably have me throwing one. Hard to get away from politics when Mike's around.😡 Justin's woes continue. I shall bury myself in making fish cakes for lunch and try not to be tempted to see what Mrs May is up to. The last time I peeped into BBC news I thought she looked a little older which is not surprising! The way things are going maybe she too will soon be making fish cakes for Mr. Mays lunch!
Aging Anne has forgotten LESUTHERLs real name as well, (Hi BUZZ), but I too am truly sorry that you had such an awful experience with the fall and aftermath Les. I think you are Laura? Can't go back to look because if I do, and as we all know, I'll lose the little I've posted!
So I shall go my merry way, huh!?
Please get well soon everyone,
Anne.👣🐾☔️

Good morning! Still dark out but I think John read the weather report as we were getting ready for bed. Cloudy and chilly.
John’s old van is ready for the bone yard. It looks great because he keeps it clean and repaired as he goes along. But it has reached the point that he must get expensive new everything. Motor and other things under the hood. He is now looking for a new van. His priories are strange. It must be able to carry Katie and me as well as John. Plus, if needed, bring home a big piece of plywood. He will take forever to find what he wants. He enjoys the hunt and research. Why do we need plywood? I have no idea! But we might need it in the future........?
John has begun the tax preparation and he creates a huge mess while this goes on. He becomes a very unhappy guy during tax season. I help out in very simple ways. Adding up things and filling out info sheets. John fumes about the political aspects. Don’t we all?
The only real important thing is our health. Our four legged family members are included. Taxes and political crazies mean nothing. Health and what we each must do to achieve maximum Heath is the most important activity of the day.

Enjoyed a lovely amble in the woods with the dogs and I also managed to walk the full circle since my hip replacement including clambering over a few difficult areas. As you'll see, Betty had a great time until we had to cross a bridge!!
Anne, if Mike can make sense of our political mess let me know. As one politician commented yesterday, our PM is delusional even after all this time and so many votes against her dreadful "deal" with the EU so no chance she will change course although I notice EU voices are finally agreeing they have to give us some slack otherwise they will end up in an economical mess. Never mind, England's football team are playing this evening in a qualifier for the European tournament so I'll sit and cheer them instead of watching constant live streams of fractious politicians!

Happy Friday! Doing laundry then later going for a manicure, to the bank and to Macy's to try and find a pair of black jeans. Even though I had my hair trimmed on Tuesday I texted her to see if she could put some blonde highlights in tomorrow because I feel too blah and she said yes.
Laura, I am so sorry you had a fall and it took so long to get to your phone. Do you live alone?
It might be time to get one of those gadgets to wear around your neck that lets 911 know if you fall. I am glad you are on the mend and good luck with your weight loss, you can do this!!
Jackie, it is always fun to see a video of your pups. I had a horse once that hated bridges it was impossible to make him cross and no I couldn't carry him. lol
Anne, I love your new profile picture as well, just wish your phone was not covering part of your face.
Good for you putting that caller in his place,
Buzz. I am sorry you are having problems with your hands. I have similar tingling but no burning which is why I am getting an EMG test next Friday. Not sure what it tells them but better to be safe than sorry.
Lin, you must out and about already this morning. I hope it is something fun.
Jeri, praying you are not in pain and are getting pampered by your family.
Have a great day.
Sandy

Hello friends, I did get out early for Tai Chi this morning after recalculating a couple of items to send to my accountant. Last evening I was providing more needed information. Okay, so now my phone appointment has concluded and I received the bad news that IRS guidance issued in January adversely affected taxes on my farm income. Therefore, a big bundle of Federal tax is due and much higher estimates are needed for the coming year.
Patsy, I am with John, it is not a happy time. Growl. Yes, not a bit happy and I have a miserable headache. Ack. Glad income taxes are basically only discussed once a year.
Laura, I am so sorry to hear of your illness and the difficulty in calling for help I have an emergency button since I live alone and have no family. I know it works as I have inadvertently pushed it twice. They are right there asking if assistance is needed. I carry it in my purse when I do errands just in case. It works in the purse. Haaaaa.
Buzz, I hope you got your ride to the audiologist and are now back safely.
Jackie, give me the treat and I will run away. Betty! Quite clever. Meanwhile, enjoy the football. Politics, I will stay out of the conversation as I think all of them are a bit cracked!
Anne, Happy shopping and fish cake day. May politics not be the center of conversation! (If possible). And you look like a youngster in that photo.
Sandy, Happy shopping to you. Getting ready for your trip? If you do not find the black jeans, I am sure you have plenty of lovely things as evidenced by the photos you’ve shared.
Jeri, I hope you are still doing okay. Much love.
Hello Barb (hope you are okay), Diane, Marie, Karen, Barbie and everyone.
Must move along. Head is splitting.
Hugs.

JACKIE Betty is such a sweetie, I'd love to cuddle her. Jilly has the same problem with bridges.
LIN, the gvt. are still chasing me after the mistake THEY made. I got too much cash back in 2017 and now they want it returned! I was a bit surprised at the time because I had filled my tax form correctly.
The photo did turn out good, maybe because it was a miserable morning. Hence a bit hazy. Anyway, I'm not a woman to look a gift horse in the mouth so I posted it.! Lol. We will be back to the Beans photo very soon. Promise!
Michael was on top form with awful jokes picked up at work. Political of course!
Jill was on top form with lots of walkies. Now fast asleep.
I'm on top form with my feet up and relaxing. About to read my book.
Alls well with Anne and Jilly beans world.0
