There's a moose loose
Aboot this hoose...... 🐀
The cutest little field mouse. One of Brady's trophies no doubt! I'll have to dig out the humane trap in the morning and see if I can catch and release it outside.

We were woken up by a tremendous thunderstorm about 4:30. No chance of sleep with booms and flashes so at 5:30 we got up. Which means I've cleaned through the house and completed the delayed Monday wash.
That's great because it means I can get my nose stuck in a birthday book this afternoon. It's still pouring with rain. Not much to cook for lunch with leftover roast chicken. Just a few veggies.
I had three days of thanksgiving really. Yesterday was quiet but Mark and Mary Jo popped in early evening bearing gifts.
And that's about it now I'm back to my normal uneventful life!
Wishing you all a pleasant day,
Anne.🙃🐶♥️0 -
Hello all!
Anne, my goodness, days of celebration! It is probably time to settle back to your normal life. Although with your Bean, I don’t think it is ever uneventful. 😁 I hope you have a lovely book to read.
Jackie, has the beastie been found and captured?
Buzz, I hope the dinner was enjoyable. You did a fabulous job in getting your computer working again. I don’t think I would be able to get things straightened out.
Patsy, have you had your flu shot? Hope all is well with you and John and Katie.
Sandy, I loved the Happy Birthday video. You find the best things!
I spent the yesterday at home very quietly. Not even a phone call, although I have several to make I wasn’t up to it. I did a few loads of laundry, and a bit of cooking and finally finished the wedding card (with a few errors), and one birthday card. I sorted through upcoming birthdays thinking about what I might do. Just thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas as well. Then a huge time waster, I used a die cut I had made a long time ago. I liked it quite well and thought I would cut a few more. You know what happened right? Could not find it! I thought I had left it with the cuts I had finished but those were almost gone and no mini globe anywhere. Of course I could not leave it alone and hunted then proverbial high and low. No success. This morning I did a search on prior orders with a different key word and surprise, I found the order as well as the brand. No longer made but it gave me a hint and finally, I found the container in a binder with other die cuts from that manufacturer. Wahoo!
This morning I did visit Trader Joe’s, dropped off a library book at the outdoor return (since they are closed), made a trip to the post office to mail a non-machine stamp envelope, and a stop at the local grocery store for discount day.
More cards on the horizon maybe, a book is calling to me as well. My goodness, a book can be loud. 🤓
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy day.
Hugs.

Hello everyone! Soggy day today with a bit of breeze. It feels like fall on the coast....wet and with wind. I guess this time of year, I don’t mind. Leaves swerling around in the wind, it is very picturesque. By March and April I will be yearning for the sight of a sun ray amongst the clouds.
I watched/listened to the big debates last night. John tuned in and out as well. It was fascinating to watch these dedicated folks. Each has their area of focus, but how they handled opposition was interesting and revealing. The drama continues.
We have not had our flu shots yet but we will do that after our son leaves this weekend. We don’t want to feel bad while He is here. Isn’t it just too crazy to volunteerily get a shot that everyone says makes them ill for a period of time? We both growl and say...this had better work to stave off the flu or I am going to cause trouble somewhere! Bwahahaha
Well sweetfriends, I have the proverbial laundry chugging along, dryer is doing its work, load of dishes just finished and I need another cup of coffee before I continue to try to clean the kitchen floor. My unfavorite chore...in truth, I don’t really mind doing it.
The weekend is almost here!

Happy Wednesday!
I have been to the hygienist and had my teeth cleaned. I sat from 10am to 8pm yesterday believe me when I say I am exhausted. Trying to decide if I am going to bingo tonight since my friends are on vacation. I would like to do something for myself but my dentist office is almost next door to the bingo hall so I am not sure I want to drive back there again. I still have time to decide.
Patsy, like you I am trying to talk myself into a flu shot since I sit for the kids so much. But I just don't have the time to feel ill if I get a reaction. I sit again tomorrow and Sunday so will not get it today.
Lin, I love those days to myself except when they are too many in a row, then I get depressed or lonely. Weird I am.
Anne, I see a nap in your future while you are trying to read. lol
Jackie, you are amazing, I would never be able to sleep if I knew a mouse, cute or not, was in my house.
Hello to everyone I missed.

One Day at a Time0 -
Good evening. A busy day almost done and I'm on my 2nd cuppa after a meal of steamed veggies and lean pork chop. A yogurt later.
Sue my gardener visited late morning to do some weeding on the flower bed that runs by the hedge that will get fenced in a couple of weeks. She also dug the scented ginger plant in near the garden room so I will be able to smell it through open windows and doors. Sadly she is selling her home and returning to Herefordshire, her previous home, so I will have to do more myself. She has been a Godsend while I recovered from the 2 hip operations but it will do me good to keep on top of things myself.
Two loads of washing, mostly the dogs' towels that get so muddy when I dry them after a walk, have dried in the sunshine even though it's cooler these days. Quite a bit of housework achieved too so pleased with myself! 😊
No Lin, no sign of little beasty but having left doors to the garden wide open throughout the day I'm hoping it made it's escape. Just in case, I found the humane traps so will ply them with peanut butter and place them strategically overnight. So you did take the day off yesterday... Good girl!
Hmm sounds like the air ambulance could be landing near the care home not far from here. Not good when it's required rather than by road.
Our weather looks unsettled with thunderstorms tomorrow so I'm planning more decorating downstairs as there's lots to do but still avoiding the toxic white gloss jobs as I'll need windows wide open so I don't overdose on the fumes!
That's my day. I hope you all enjoy yours.

My cleaning friend discovered a nice bathroom rug I must have bought ages ago and forgot, so she replaced my falling apart one, same color, and it look so much better! The place always looks so neat when she leaves. I was checking loose papers before she arrived, and there was a lovely card among those about to be thrown out, I opened and re-read it and
JACKIE, I put it in among my treasures, never to be thrown anywhere but in my heart. When Judy first gave it to me, I could not believe how lovely both the card and the note in it were, and I want to tell you again how precious it is to me! I ate with them last night and your ears might have been burning when they spoke of you.
I have made an appointment for my flu shot. Other than a sore arm for a day or 2, I have never become sick, nor have I caught the flu, so I am comforted by getting one. I'm also not going to put off a dermatologist any longer . Living on a coastline all my life, the sun was irresistible! My skin was almost black much of the year. Now I discover my complexion is actually quite fair except for all my dark spots that seem permanent!
PATSY, I watched part of the debate last night, and am just as confused as ever! And scared!!! I have heard all the excuses and accusations today from the Fantastic Head of The World and his lies become more shrill every day! He accuses the rest of society of the very behavior he and his family are guilty of. How do you win over that? No sense of ethics live in that so-called head!
SANDY, sitting has taken over your life! I hope you went to bingo!
LIN, how many years have you been working on cards?
ANNE, bask in the glow as long as you like! It never hurts when it comes our way!
Have I mentioned how nice DIANE's visit was? Being in the midst of my computer's invasion, I do not recall if I welcomed her!
Gotta get ready for din-din. Am hoping the 2 pound overnight gain was WATER! Darn.....

Anne....Just realized that you had a birthday, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY !! It sounds as if you had a delightful day as well as a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. You are so blessed to have family close and obviously have raised a couple of great sons that treat you so well. I have no doubt that your next living environment wherever it will be will prove to be the perfect place for all of you as well. That cat of yours is gorgeous !! Of course Bean is full of personality and I imagine your kitty also gives you a lot of enjoyment too. So miss my 2 kitties, but our Jacque is the love of our life now.
Buzz....You are a real trooper taking on that computer of yours. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Glad that you are back with us again. As for living on the coast well I can relate completely to all of those hours in the sun here in California. What was I thinking of using baby oil to help with that glowing tan ? Later I became the Coppertone child when they discovered this was so much better for you. Bet you can relate to that...lol Oh yes lemon juice in my hair for those highlights when I was a teen. Not to forget "sunlights" used to clear up my teenage complexion. My mothers answer to acne. (She was a RN.) So yes I too have those unwanted age spots that I wished I never had. Live and learn as they say.
Lin....Hope that your foot pains are finally starting to heal. Tai chi might have been an interesting conference, but not so sure that some bouncing would have been ideal. However then again maybe Tai Chi doesn't involve any bouncing, but stretching exercises. Need to check into that. We do have classes offered here and I need gentle exercises there days.
Jackie....Hoping the house sale is moving along now. It has already been cleared out I assume. With your brothers residing elsewhere it does make this a bit more difficult for sure. In time all things come to an end and this will too. Fall gardening clean up.....I definitely do not miss that and it is one of the reasons we moved into our senior community. Much smaller yard and no longer hours of raking leaves. Miss the yard in one sense and the beautiful fall leaves, but not the work. Yours doesn't appear to be so overwhelming. Lucky you !!
Sandy.... You are such a wonderful grandma to those cute grandkids. I definitely would be exhausted for sure. Suspect there is a few nappers, so that gives you a bit of a break. Enjoy them because they are growing up so fast. How is your foot doing ? No foot problem here now, but achy knees. Weather is changing, so I suspect that is why. Trying to get walking more, but it is a slow journey.
Patsy....light rain along with breezes and falling colorful leaves. I can just imagine what it is like up your way. Time to bring out the soup pot to help warm you up. Made some beef vegetable soup last night in my slow cooker. I should have used my Instant Pot, but I am slowly increasing my usage. So what is for dinner up your way ? Any new projects ?
Spent a bit of my day finalizing the arrangements for the Roseville Ladies Luncheon group. These are people that live on our street.....14 involved with this. We attempt to get together one day a month for lunch. It is a rotating schedule once a yr; it was my turn, so we are headed to Mimis Restaurant Friday, which is a favorite place of ours. Nine said they will make it, so that is a good turn out. Well time to find a bit to eat for dinner. Time has gotten away from me. Missing Jeri, so hope she is doing well. Thinking of you and Marie too. Golly I am wordy. Need to improve on this....LOL
Have a good evening.

So, here we are waiting for Dorio to arrive with the groceries. Dorio is the biggest man I have ever seen. He just fills my kitchen and when he brings the groceries in, usually five bags containing heavy items like 10 lb bag of spuds, or large containers of tide detergent, milk etc he carries them all together in his whopping mitts (hands for those not from Yorkshire) easily down the long drive to swing them on the counter top. Most men would only manage two or three bags at a time.
We've decided tiny little Bean is afraid of Dorio. He dresses in black from head to toe and even his sunglasses are very black. Not running away to play, more to hide! This is unusual for her because she is normally very people oriented.
Interesting what Diane and Buzz had to say about running around like bronze goddesses when young. How I envied all the bronzed people when I arrived from my damp little island. I think the odd brownish marks I've got are actually age spots but they could well be rust patches. I can't go brown however hard I try. Just an unattractive pink. Michael goes brown and takes after his dad, but poor Mark has inherited the Gawan skin! We are definitely autumn people.
Thank you for your birthday wishes Diane.
Well better close. More later IF something exciting happens like an alien ship landing in the yard rather than Tony from next door.
Anne. 🙃👓🐶♥️0 -
Wrote a post then lost my internet.....meeting today and then sitting.

Showers today although more monsoon than light trickle! The road was flooded on the way to the woods, my preferred place to walk because the sky was black over the moors, but I managed to drive through slowly without stopping! On the way home I dropped a note through a friend's door then popped into town for a fresh supply of cat food for Hebe who is on special sachets for elderly pusscats. An exciting time chopping kindling wood and polishing brass this afternoon and soon a cup of tea!
Oh Sandy, how frustrating but have fun sitting.
Anne, could Dorio be a Mafia Don going incognito? He certainly dresses for the part!
Last night I had a late Amazon delivery after the sun had gone down and George became so over protective he bit my foot when I tried to close the door between his snarling teeth and the courier who required ID because there was a sharp saw blade in the box. With all the stabbings going on in the UK these days it is good to know checks are made on who is ordering such items but George definitely didn't like me opening the door to a stranger standing out in the dark! It was Sergio, our Polish delivery man who always laughs at the noise that comes out of such a small dog!!
Diane, loved to read you nice long post. All quiet on the house selling front today so I don't imagine we will be exchanging contracts tomorrow as planned due to a hiccup over a restriction that was on the sale of the house until my stepmother passed away that it seems our solicitor hasn't chased up! The house is still furnished because we don't want to empty it until we have exchanged in case the buyer drops out last minute. It is considered more likely a furnished house will be more appealing to viewers than an empty one. I have found a company to do the clearance and we've agreed a price and they have said a couple of days notice will suffice. Hmm, we'll see! Enjoy Mimis luncheon tomorrow with your neighbours. It sounds like a great idea.
Ahh Buzz, you know you are one of my treasures.... if only I could pop you in a box and keep you close!!
I've always been a sun worshipper, probably because I didn't see much of it living in London when I was growing up. Plenty of smog created by coal fires though! Mick was one of my brother's friends whose family was Greek so he tended to use Olive oil as a tanning agent. It was horribly greasy but gave a beautiful tan so although I used to sneak my mother's Ambre Solaire sun cream when a young teen I had to move on to Mick's idea once she and dad broke up and she moved out! Before my cataracts were removed I thought my complexion quite smooth so what a shock when I finally saw the sun damage and wrinkles as well as two dark brown splodges, one on each cheek. Never mind, can't turn the clock back!
Time to cook an evening meal although inspiration isn't filling my head. I got on my scales a day early and again no movement, not even a few ounces which means Betty is doing better than me now! She has lost 70 grams which is the equivalent of 2 bowls of dry porridge before I add water!!
Hello to Patsy and Lin of course.
Jackie0 -
Dorio didn't show up. Instead another less black chap and a rather beautiful young woman came with my groceries. The young woman had a notepad in hand and asked if I minded answering a few questions. How did I like the service etc etc. Well I just love the service and told her so, but where's Dorio I asked. They said it was his day off, but usually he shows on a Thursday. I hope Jilly didn't upset him last week when she ran away from him yelping and behind a chair! He was rather upset when he left, muttering "she doesn't like me". Jilly didn't run away from these two. Strange. Anyway I told them how fresh the groceries always are and the service is just the best.
Just been trying to figure out Brexit. Honestly Jackie if it makes my head spin over here, how confusing it all must be for you Brits!

Good evening. I ran off this morning to join the former library ladies. It was a very small group but that led to better conversation actually. I enjoyed it and stayed to the very end. Then I went to the Senior Center to drop off some fabric I wasn’t going to use. They use it for crafts and dress kits for little girls. I spoke to the people in the office for a while and got signed up for a talk on avoiding fraud later this month and for a Pendoodle class in November. I went back to try the fancy exercise bikes but left again as another lady was back there and I was embarrassed to try to figure out the new equipment with someone else in the room. Talked to another lady on the way to the car. I stopped at the Urbandale library and looked for a book for the Senior Center book club. They didn’t have it but I ended up wandering through the mystery section. I got excited! They seem to have a good stock of old Perry Mason books. Wow. My library doesn’t have those.
Finally a stop at the craft store to hunt for Washi tape (nope nothing) and for a Christmas green stamping ink (again, nothing).
The weather was nice though so didn’t mind fiddling around out there. Enjoying the good weather which may disappear at any time.
Anne, glad you received your delivery and I hope there is no problem with your regular delivery person who has been so reliable.
Sandy, sorry you lost your post. I hope you are enjoying your day.
Jackie, yes indeed, keep the house looking good until you know the sale is going through. I didn’t actually do that but then I couldn’t really as there were threats to call things off day after day. I am so glad it was all finished eventually. And I am certain you will be happy when this sale is finished.
Patsy, hello, I think I missed your post my friend. Your typical fall weather I think you said. Enjoy your son’s birthday celebration.
Buzz, I trust your computer is still working well. I had to update the software again on my phone and iPad. Kept my fingers crossed. My old Windows laptop seems to have updated as well and some of my stored auto fill logins are gone. Hummmm.
Diane, the story about my leg and ankle injuries is just too long to go into. But ultimately the reflexologist recommended foot soaking in Epsom salts to remove toxins from the body and to provide magnesium. I find that I like it so I am staying on the every other evening schedule. And no, Tai Chi is not jumping or hopping. Many of the positions and moves seem to out strain on unhappy tendons and ligaments. So I am careful.
Well, going to change clothes and will search online for some Christmas green ink. If I cannot find anything I will end up using something called Mowed Grass. At least it is green. 😁
Hugs to my friends. ❤️❤️

Crazy busy day but wanted to let LIN know I lost a lot of auto settings in the latest upgrades, here too! Way past my bedtime...what happens to me at night????? Buzz 0

I don't BELIEVE it, the Bean and I have only just got up! That's because I was thinking Christmas card design instead of sleeping! I rely on my own drawings and the first two trial Halloween runs - very amateur, but I've just finished a Christmas card which looks a little better, so encouraged I'll press on. It's a fun thing to do on inclement weather days and I'm so glad LIN got me into the swing again.
Well, I really ought to get moving and remove the duck meat (sleepy dust to anyone not from Yorkshire) from my eyes. Yawn..
Anne.0 -
Up early and straight out to the local Aldi for groceries but oh dear, already Christmas stock is everywhere so I had to close my eyes as I walked past the Stollen cakes and mince pies! What I couldn't resist were the dark chocolate German Lebkuchen biscuits and am sure I'll be returning for more before they run out! The other day I accidentally knocked an expensive nearly full litre bottle of Greek olive oil out of a cupboard on to the kitchen ceramic tiles and watched transfixed as it slowly spread out as well as into my slippers because its glass bottom came away! I threw a tea towel over the oil and that slowed it's progress a bit but still a horrible mess to wipe up. It was like one of those kids' green jelly toys that's horrible to touch! I'm afraid I replaced the bottle with a plastic one today as much as I'm doing my best to avoid it!
Heavy showers again but so far I've managed to dodge them. Definitely a day for indoor jobs so now I've finished my lunch I'll change into old sweatshirt and jeans and do more painting. Nearly choked on my mini Yorkshire pork pie laughing when I saw the orange man on our news explaining why he gave the green light to Turkey to invade Syria and kill Kurds.... "You put them together to fight for a bit then you pull them apart". Bonkers!! 😳🤪
Clearing a large amount of cookies from my desktop has left me searching for the correct password into several sites or going through the fiddly Microsoft process to update them. I sigh loudly every time I'm asked now because I know it means hassle.
No sign of the little field mouse in my trap so I'm wondering if Brady came upon it in the night. That or it doesn't fancy the peanut butter I placed inside!
Ah yes Anne, BREXIT!! No point trying to understand other than know all opposition parties want nothing more than to stop the process but are terrified an election will mean an awful lot of them losing their seats because they are going against the wishes of a majority of the electorate in the referendum.
Time to pick up my paint brushes.
Happy Friday everyone.
Jackie

Good day. A slow start for me. I hunted online for quite a while last night and finally decided on a particular green ink pad and reinker. In the few years, maybe 3, of making cards, I have learned that a new ink pad does not guarantee a nice juicy ink pad thus the reinker. No Washi tape though so one last hunt, I am off to Hobby Lobby and Target for one last look before giving up the idea.
The sun is out and the weather is mild so a perfect day to run about. 😁
Hugs. See you later.
Lin0 -
Happy Friday! Laundry is started and that might be all I will do today. Very tired from sitting and need to rest up before Sunday and Monday's sitting days. I gained 1.3 pounds and I really don't know how. I didn't eat much yesterday but that could be the problem. Like Jackie the yoyo continues.
Lin, did you check Amazon for the Washi tape? We are also having a nice day today as well with temps in the 60's. I had to update my phone twice in two days.
Jackie, oh my what a mess to clean up, it is so hard to wipe up oil of any kind.
Anne, you will have to post a picture of one of your cards so we can all admire them.
Buzz, my computer updates itself during the night as I rarely shut my computer off. Since I use last pass I don't seem to lose too many passwords.
Diane, still wearing the big shoe but I see the doctor next Wednesday. I don't think it is healed and with all the sitting I am doing I don't think it helps. They have stairs that I am constantly going up and down plus all the walking around the house. Oh well, with the shoe it doesn't hurt so maybe that will be my new attire from now on.
Patsy, where oh where has our little girl gone?
Have a great day.
Sandy

Home again. Found some lovely things for half off at Hobby Lobby so I did not stop at Target. The sunshine here is marvelous. I saw some beautiful bright red foliage on trees at the mall. Best leaves so far this year! Also, danger Will Robinson. The Furry Friends Rescue is building an adoption center across from my library. Wow! They just put up a sign on the construction project. Wow!! How I will I stop myself from stopping by to see the rescues? Oh my.
Sandy yes, I did numerous online shops last night and could not find what I wanted. That really takes a lot of time! I am sorry you are not healed up but with all the sitting you do for those active kids and doggie, I imagine it will be very difficult to heal properly.
Jackie, ick, oil on the floor. Dangerous and messy. I am so sorry. I would likely have cut my foot on top of everything else. And definitely bonkers. The whole pack of them. Oh my. 🤦🏼♀️
Anne, I am having a slow day as well. Too much online surfing last evening. I hit so many web sites hunting for things I had in mind. My mind is at fault for the waste of time! My project also involves Winter ot Christmas cards. 🎅🏻🤶🏼
Hi Patsy and Diane.
Must move along.
Hugs.

Hello dear ones! Friday is trash day! It feels good to ditch the trash and begin afresh. I know...weird that I focus on trash day. I am a junky mouse at heart so I am always in the midst of a mess or hauling my detritus to the dump.
Our son comes today and I am choosing to do the easy kind of supper. Veggie pizza and a good red wine. I could serve it on paper plates but is going too far. Love seeing that guy! He is funny, adventurous, affectionate and a joy. He will bring his two old doggies. Katie loves them and she is in love with our son, Damon. The old doggies just barely tolerate Katie. But the age difference is the big problem. They don’t play ball, they don’t run in and out of the house, but they sleep in Katie’s bed and eat her kibble and treats. As well her chicken, veggie and rice dinner. That does irritate Miss Kate.
It is rainy and a bit chilly today. There was snow in the mountains. Not sure if it is sticking around. The melting snow here is very dangerous. Slippery!
Lin: my go to place for art supplies is “Cheap Joes art stuff”. That is the real name. Also Dick Blick. Between those two, I don’t think I ever came up without what I wanted or needed.
Anne: give us a peek at you new work. We are all a work in progress. You know Katie does the same thing. She will just take a liking or disliking for some people for no good reason. It is puzzling.
Jackie: in our family, it would be John who makes the biggest mess. He is clumbsy at times and wow! When he does a boo- boo it is HUGE! He has spilled car oil, a full bottle of vitamins on the kitchen floor, a full pot of hot coffee! These are the most dramatic that I remember cleaning up with his help.
Sandy: my foot conditions require the big shoes at times. But my pediatrist wants me off my foot and for me elevate it. This is boring I just can’t do that.
Off to clean our son’s bathroom.
Patsy☘️0 -
GREEK oil, yet? That's precious stuff. Sorry about the mess , and how did you save the remainder without broken glass when re-pouring? I believe I have reached the spilling, pouring, dropping stage of my life, since that's mostly what happens to everything I attempt to touch! And I can feel it's coming on before I can stop it! Need my sleep......................................................... Buzz 0

Good morning. A cold drizzly start to the day. I didn’t have plans to go anywhere. Yes!! Today and tomorrow are race days in the metro. Short races today and marathon and half marathon tomorrow. A friend is doing his first ever 5k this morning. He usually walk or runs outdoors so getting wet shouldn’t bother him. He was quite excited so I hope all is going well for him. I am sure he will Facebook everything later.
Doing some bill paying today and updating my calendar with some things I signed up to attend in the next few weeks. Several more book clubs, a lunch n learn on fraud prevention, and Pendoodle so far. I tried to sign up for an update on our metro bus system but I am on the waiting list and doubt I will get in. They are making many changes to the routes and I really wanted to learn if I will be able to get to Trader Joe’s and back without having to walk in the weather for extended distances.
I wasn’t raised to use the bus system. Only a school bus for a year or so and that is pretty easy. 🤓
Lots of books to read, loads of cards to make, and laundry to put away. So a quiet day.
Hugs for my friends. ❤️❤️
Lin0 -
Happy Saturday! I got a good night's sleep so I should be rested for my sitting tomorrow night and all day Monday. Going to mass with Joe and then grabbing something to eat.
Once home I hope to catch up on more of my recorded shows, so many not enough time. lol
Lin, I haven't used the bus since I started driving at 18. I did have to take public bus to school and to work but that was ages ago. Enjoy your quiet day, I love them myself.
Buzz, I too, seem to drop a lot of things but luckily nothing breakable so far. I hope you got some sleep.
Patsy, enjoy your son's birthday dinner and of course his company. It sounds like a perfect day with a perfect son.
Hello to everyone else and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Gone midnight after a hectic day including looking after another of Sue my gardener's dog, this time Bob! An escape artist so I had to watch his every move! Lots more messages and emails back and forth and it looks like I'll be travelling to London again on Tuesday if I can get the dogs settled with a friend. This will be the last time!!
Off to bed now so will catch up with my sneaker friends tomorrow (already today here!!)

Oh girls, I've just lost a huge post which I was enjoying writing when it disappeared before my eyes. I just haven't got the heart to write it all again. So disheartening!

Oh darn Anne. 😞
I am at church. Have a great day.

Happy Sunday! Another good night's sleep so I am ready for the kiddos. I will be going much later this afternoon for their haunted house adventure with Bryanna. Will spend the night there even though I know I won't get much sleep as the kiddos wake up around 5am.
It will be a long day tomorrow but I will still try to post if I get any time.
Sorry you lost your post Anne and Lin you also have a great day. Jackie I am sure watching an escape artist is as tiring as watching kiddos. Buzz sorry about your legs and hope they have calmed down. Patsy I hope all went well with your son's birthday celebration. Diane so glad you are back with us.
Have a great day.

Goodness, I'll be so glad when this house sale is complete and I can get on with my quiet life! My journey to London is hopefully now Thursday and I'll have a quick turn around once I know the house clearance is going according to plan. Today has been pleasant and George had a great time running, skipping and jumping on the moors while Betty trotted behind with the occasional zoomie thrown in! There was a cool breeze at times that even cut through my thick fleece jacket which tells me it will soon be time for vests and extra layers.
Sandy, will you visit the haunted house yourself or wait outside for the kiddos to enjoy their adventure without you? Yes, Bob the escaping dog was a worry so I suggested to Sue she should leave him in his own home rather than with me where he does nothing but pace, cry and run away. I'm not sure she liked the suggestion although she did acknowledge my day was scuppered!
Oh Anne, what a pain. It always seems to be the long posts that do a flyer. Hopefully the rest of your day has gone well.
Patsy, no doubt still celebrating your son's birthday. Lots of fun and laughter I'm sure.
Buzz, so sorry your legs are jumping again. The glass bottle of olive oil cracked its bottom right off in one circular piece so all was lost on the floor. At least there was no risk of glass splinters!
Lin, from time to time I experiment with short journeys using our bus service but have to admit that although it's free for us pensioners I can't cope with the length of time it takes to get from A to B, that's if the bus turns up in the first place. At the moment I've decided to wait until I'm no longer driving and therefore desperate!!
This afternoon I spent an hour cutting up wood and chopping into smaller peices for kindling which is great exercise but it's now time to light the fire and put my feet up while I sip my cuppa.
Happy Sunday everyone.

Sandy, will you visit the haunted house yourself or wait outside for the kiddos to enjoy their adventure without you? Yes, Bob the escaping dog was a worry so I suggested to Sue she should leave him in his own home rather than with me where he does nothing but pace, cry and run away. I'm not sure she liked the suggestion although she did acknowledge my day was scuppered!
Happy Sunday everyone.
Jackie
I am not going anywhere near the haunted house, I am staying home with the kiddos. Rob, Lisa and Bryanna are going to what is known as the scariest haunted house in the area. I am too scared to go in any haunted house especially when they jump out at you. We took the kids to the kids "haunted" house at the pumpkin farm and even that scared me because of the darkness. I had to have Robby hold my hand. lol0
