    Tracey - and others.
    These are Lisa's instructions for finding it. Our dates are day/month/year, so look for 19/11/21

    Here you go!  Radio Sussex - Listen Live - BBC Sounds slide to the bottom the page and pick up Sarah Gorrell, it will show her episodes. I believe Heather said she is at the three hour, eight minute mark.

    I have just found it using Search on their website, Sarah Gorrell.

    I'm all dressed up and ready to go out in twenty minutes time to the bistro. :D We opened our presents this morning! ;) DH was pleased with his silk tie for our cruises. I got a very interesting book on the history of the Basque people. Lots of other foodie stuff.

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I'm really glad I had them put the booster in my left arm, as I'm right-handed. Hurts like stink, like someone hit me really hard with bare knuckles. There are worse things, it's just annoying

    Gray and gloomy day so far here... the weather channel says it's sunny, but they are wrong.

    I think... I'll go back to bed.

    Love y'all,
    Later,
    Lisa

    Does anyone have an alternate way (FB, email) to contact Katla? Would you contact her with the link to this month's thread or ask if ok to share her contact info with me? Looks like in addition to the travel stress, she can't get to this month's thread. I've tried PM'ing her in mfp, no response.

    Thanks,
    Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

    Barbie ~ I got my last jury summons when I was 69 and would have been 70 in a few months. In Georgia, you do not have to do jury duty after 70. I was terrified of going to the court house because I wasn't sure where to park and had my husband drive me there the day before. At that time, my knee was in very bad condition and the walk from the lot to court was long. Anyway, by the grace of God, I did not get picked for jury duty and was able to go home.

    I posted the link to the Nov thread on Feb 2020’s thread. I don’t know any other way to direct Katla here.

    This is so painful. I have been trying to chat with her in the private group, but she keeps starting new discussions, saying she misses everyone, and not responding to my responses. I am quite worried.

    Flea ~ I no longer go to the private group but just wonder if Katla and her husband got to their destination.

    Heather just listened to your interview, stellar and so nice to put a voice to the face,
    You sounded wonderful and not nervous at all..
    I have been working on the afghan..the lady upstairs from me with the disruptive grandson has put her condo on the market,im guessing she would rather sell and find a house where they can both live and she can leave to him,and not have to deal with everyone complaining about him.. thats her choice.
    Well back at it and then go feed Trudys cat,she went to New Orleans till Thursday with her youngest

    I can't tell. She sounds like they did, and they were going to stay in a hotel, and then they were going to stay in an RV, and then she said everything was off. I have asked her, but she hasn't responded.

    Flea, That all sounds horribly painful. Glad to hear you're home and convalescing. Thinking of you.

    Heather, You and Johnnie just look so joyful. Happy 17th again!

    About an hour ago, heard what sounded like a nearby shotgun blast, simultaneous to the electricity going out. Which makes me think it was probably a transformer blowing up. Using my phone as a hotspot, so won't stay online too long. Hope it comes on soon.

    Later y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    Oh dear, worried about Katla.

    Watched an episode of 'Place in the Sun ' this evening, about Brittany. It's sooooooo long since we've been to France. :'( Got quite a pang.

    Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxx

    Had 2 guys over this morning to look at the old mobile home that sits on our property. It is a 1970s doublewide.It was here when we moved in and we have been wanting to get rid of it. The people we bought from used it for storage but didn't do anything else with it and the kitchen floor is rotten. However, if it can be done this guy wants to move it to Olympia. It would certainly be nice to get it out of here.

    Our company for Thanksgiving will be arriving on Tuesday evening.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    Did a step DVD today. Boy, did it feel good. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jari Love’s Get Ripped 1000 DVD. Not sure how much I can do since my arm is still sore from the flu shot, but I’ll give it a shot. If anything, I’ll just use lighter weights.

    Beth – what a worry! My heart goes out to you

    Kim – An extra $28 just to have the pizza cooked????? unbelievable! I’m not a fan of pizza. We usually give one person underwear every year for Christmas as a joke.

    Started packing for Jess’. I hope we can get away with taking just one large suitcase. I’m going to try taking just shorts for exercise. At least this is the last time (probably) that we’ll have to take long johns, Gloves and a scarf with us...lol

    I had them put the prolia shot in my right arm since I haven’t had a reaction to that in years. They put the pneumonia and flu in my left arm and it’s sore. Glad I had them put it in there since I’m right handed.

    Flea – removing drains is painful, but you are doing the right thing by trying not to take the opiods. Thank you for sharing just how to help someone instead of saying “if you need anything, just call”

    Sue WA – hope those guys take the trailer

    Katla -so glad you made it safe and sound

    Went to church and then stopped at a neighbor’s house. I like the landscaper they have so I wanted to just let her know that I contacted them. I like the guy I have doing work, he’s good but I do get frustrated in that it takes sooooo long to get things done, I’m constantly calling him to ask how things are going. Like I spoke to him back in May and told him I wanted the bushes removed, new bushes put in and I’d like him to do the front lawn (seed). Well, it’s now the end of November, the bushes are out but I’m resigned to the fact that new bushes won’t be installed until next year. The lawn won’t get done until March (that’s what he said). Even I know that September is the optimal time to plant grass seed. So I’m contacting someone else to see about getting the work done. I do like the work they’ve done for my neighbor.

    Got packed for going to Jess’. Made her brownies and an apple pie for her. I’d bought one at the store. By following the directions on the box, the bottom crust was very soft. So I tried making this one the way I usually make an apple pie (higher temp., use a pie shield, lower temp). So I guess we shall see how it comes out.

    :)Katla, I'm so glad that you got safely to Virginia and that you were able to find all of us again. I look forward to hearing about your trip.

    :) More festive lights are being put up in my neighborhood so my evening walk is more interesting. A few people have their lights on in the morning but most are limited to evening.

    :) Our plan for Thanksgiving is to have Marie Callender's microwave turkey meals. Otherwise, our day will be just like every other.

    I am watching ESPN- College Football - The Oregon Ducks vs Utah. The Ducks are my team and I hope they do well. It looks like a tough game.

    Michaela –. I joined a fitness club and have taken Yoga classes for many years. Yoga is great! If you find a group you enjoy, you will be very happy. I enjoy classes with people about my age. :smiley:

    Beth – Keeping my fingers crossed for your son’s job interviews. May he find a job that he will enjoy. :star:

    Rebecca- Love the photo of your son’s family. They look happy together. :heart:

    Mary from MN/AZ – Enjoy your art project/remodel. :flowerforyou:

    Machka – Your DH looks happy in the garden. Lovely photo. :smilie:

    Allie – Your grandchildren are lucky to have your help getting to work and school. WTG!!!

    Barbara – At the moment we are staying in a nice hotel in Richmond, VA. We are staying here under voluntary quarantine because we flew out here so we will be germ free and able to meet and cuddle our newest grandson safely. He is now 8 days old. We will go to see him in two days. :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Katla - quarantined in Richmond for two more days.
