Hi folks. We are adaptable, so I will stop whinging and adapt 😂
Previous photo was on our walk in Castle Park on Tuesday afternoon. The autumn colour is quite pretty at the moment.
DH has gone out with his bird watching cronies this morning. I’m playing around with the new settings to see what’s what.
Sue - (((hugs))) Glad to see you posting again.
This morning I’m finishing a birthday card for my daughter. She is 55 on the 18th of November, but we are going to see her this coming Sunday and taking her her birthday present and card.
I finally got my gynae appointment for my ongoing prolapse problem. It’s on Friday, the 19th of November.
Have a great day everybody. I will try and pop back in later today and see how things are.
(((Hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 For those who need them.
☘️ Terri

MACHKA I do to do lists too. thanks for that post. I like the part about giving specific instructions to your future lazy (or tired or distracted..) self.
TRACEY I'm so sorry about your work stuff. that is really upsetting.
ALLIE that stinks about the long wait. What will you do during the wait time?

Work
Busy, busy, busy. It seems busier now than we've been in a while.
Family
We had our son and daughter-in-law over for dinner tonight! In preparation for that, we've been madly working on both house and garden. Our hope was to eat outside so we tried to prepare the path (but didn't get enough gravel), I weeded for hours and hours, and we each finished a patio table. But on the chance we might eat inside, we also cleaned and prepared the house. We ate inside. We're having such a cold spring.
It was the first time we've had them over and first time my husband and I have had a dinner party ... ever!
Exercise
Not as much happening lately as hoped ... unless you count hours of garden work and house cleaning and organising.
Christmas
We have a very low-key Christmas which usually involves a restaurant dinner and cycling. We purchase very few gifts. If I get something for someone, it is usually because I've seen something I think they would really like in a local craft/art type of place or similar, and I might get it on our travels around the state in some other month of the year and just hang onto it till Christmas.
Christmas is in the summer here and I'd rather be out enjoying myself than worrying about shopping.

Yes, I find if I have a vague item on my list, it will rarely get done. I've got to break it down into easy steps!

Hmmm discovering the new format. Not a fan of the white. A shame that easy spoiler option is no longer there. presumably there are sup up sides ? I think a much bigger choice of emojis offered? and ....🤔😯🙂🌎️

queasy stomach. I have had queasy stomach often over past week or so. a lot of my friends and colleagues seem to be getting bugs in the past week or two.
hypothesis : we were super-protected from one another over months and years and now there is a bit more mixing and we are catching things... and it's been a bit cool too...

Happy Thursday, everyone! The new updates are a little frustrating; but we will get used to them! Every time a site I visit "updates" or has a "new" format, I tell myself, "Change is good. It keeps our brains active. If I stop learning, I am not growing. I am stagnating."
Michele- The Mermaid looks beautiful! Nice job! For shells, I would take any of them; but most likely the white and add some very fine iridescent glitter.
Machka- all of your "how to" posts, while helpful, are freaking me out! lol
Terri- I will be turning 55 on the 18th of this month, as well. I am your daughter's birthday twin!
I found a photo/request on marketplace from a woman asking for leaves to be dropped off at her house so she could compost. It brought a memory from my misspent youth, to the surface. Harmless fun.

This caught my attention. For a moment I was thrilled that perhaps someone was about to perform a little mischief. Backstory: Long ago, in a neighborhood not too far away...a young girl had her dad's pick up for the night and decided to collect, oh, about forty bags of fall leaves that were already at the curb in a friend's neighborhood. She then took these bags of leaves, and with a friend's help, she drove to a certain young man's house. This young man's father was a police officer, so extreme caution was used. The family dog was outside in the backyard and gave a couple of growls, but happily accepted the hotdogs given to her, as a bribe for her silence. The girls were able to deposit all forty bags into the front yard and they made a wondrous carpet a little over knee deep in rustling, fall, goodness. The girls made their way through the dark, to the pick up, giggling quietly. News spread in their circle of friends of the "leafing" and the angry police officer/father who told his boys that "it HAD to be one of their friends; so they had to clean it up". It was many, MANY years later; when the girl was married to the young man, that she laughingly told the former police officer/now father in law, that SHE was the Midnight Leafer. Lol. It makes me sad that the woman who posted this request for leaves is only going to use them for compost. Missed opportunities, right here.

morning ladies,
on my laptop ,because I cant get on the darn thing on my phone anymore I go to the community page it syncs and comes up blank, nothing on it,I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
yesterday wasn't as long as I thought it was going to be but lots of information that they pour into your head and lots of drs,pharmacists,social workers, nurses, that come through .. you also watch a video and get sent home with a booklet about what the transplant is..
with my blood type A+ unless i have a living donor it could be a 4-7 yr wait..they still have to go through the evaluation.. after I left there I had lab work to do.. 18 vials of blood they took,then I had to go for a chest x ray luckily all in the same building.. then i drove back and picked Alfie up from Toms .. I had been up since 1:30 in the morning so I just wanted a little nap... but Alfie wouldn't let me.. so I watched the Waltons and went to Trudys for dinner and we had a meeting with the Board of Directors as they are going to self govern , the property managment company has done a shoddy job and they fired them.
so starting in January they will run the place..I don't know if ill ever figure out how to get back the community page on my phone, it is so much easier ,Kelly tried explaining it but it didn't work... like I said it syncs and does nothing.
I am still exhausted from yesterday , even though I got a good nights sleep, im guessing its mental exhaustion. we shall see how today goes

Hooray, my son replied! I am going up to Nottingham for a night in a couple of weeks. I stay at a nice hotel and he comes over and we get the tram out to his house. Out for dinner, probably.
Haven't been up for a couple of years because of covid.
I will have to transfer some money out of savings. It's his birthday that week.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

To do lists- When I make a list; I have to write the estimated time it will take to do it. IF it is something that takes longer than two hours, I have to break it down into smaller jobs. Such as "build mud kitchen" becomes "buy supplies for mud kitchen-1 hour", "sand lumber for mud kitchen- 1 hour", "build mud kitchen-2 hours", "paint mud kitchen- 1 hour", "poly-coat mud kitchen- 1 hour", "stock shelves in mud kitchen- 30 minutes". Bite sized. The only way I can focus. KJ

Morning, afternoon and evening all; I've been watching the changes with interest here in MFP.
Machka - I never use the MFP bookmarking feature, I use my browser's bookmark feature in order to get directly to the thread. When Barbie first posts the link, I select it, and then when I'm at the page, I just use the browser bookmark (the star shape in the address line in Edge). That's the easiest way, to me. 🤷 There are almost always three ways to do most anything online. And the vast majority of the time, I don't care to participate in other threads.
SueBDew - Welcome back, you've been missed! I'm so pleased that you and your husband are OK, but it does not sound like fun at all.
Carol - LOVE the pics of the grands!
Mary in AZ - Kinda loving the color and shine of that floor... It's really well done.
Karen - Well DONE on the house sale, I'm so glad that someone who loves and needs it is going to buy it. Oh - and keep meaning to tell you, the Calmoseptine cream you suggested has been a lifesaver. Kinda lit me up the first time I used it, but since then, it's helped protect my skin, and the menthol warming is pleasant instead of too hot. Just ordered three more tubes off Amazon, as I finished the first one.
Two things I LOVE about the changes - if you want to change pages on the thread, it doesn't lose whatever you've written. Or at least it doesn't on the website. If you're worried about it, you can also use my second favorite, which is the "Save Draft" button below your comment box to keep what you've already written. When you want to go back to it, select "My drafts" in the Quick Links box, and it will open your latest draft.
Oh - and ETA, the Edit function is still usable for me on the website - in the top right corner of the comment box are three dots, instead of the gear symbol - but you still have only one hour to do so.
My daughter and three grands are coming in this afternoon, and staying until Sunday. The baby, Levi, has a cough, is teething, and has an ear infection, and she's afraid it will bother us. I already told her I'd rather see him cranky than not see him. They're all coming back down for Thanksgiving week as well, other than the oldest, who will be at his crapweasel sperm donor's for the holiday.
Later y'all, the dryer just buzzed.

The spoiler option is even easier!
Instead of typing [spoiler] your words [/spoiler] you just click on the paragraph icon and choose spoiler. Then it comes up as a grey box and you type in it.
Hi there!

There are a lot of people who bike on the ride that have MS. They let them ride first for a mile and we cheer them when they come back. Some ride longer with us if they are able to

I found these twin bed sheets that had a camping theme. Made the fitted sheets as couch covers and one of the flat sheets as a cover for Kirbys air mattress. Happy with the look!
