Gone to wherever my posts with wings go Anne! 🧚‍♀️

I didn’t manage to return last night, mostly because I was writing notes to take to the Council meeting this evening. Linda and I, but mostly Linda, managed to get Rachael to concentrate long enough to take in what she needs to do. She’s so sweet she is feeling sorry for overworked police who aren’t rushing to interview Mr Nasty but we said they should be more concerned a dangerous man lives in the community! Linda is drafting a letter of complaint to go to the Council and I should gather enough evidence tonight!

Have a lovely trip Sandy and stay safe. Hopefully the room sharing will work out.

How are you feeling today Anne? I certainly wouldn’t have been happy with the response from staff when you told them you were unwell. Too many working in care facilities forget what that word means!

Lin, that’s so sad for Angela, what with the divorce too. My understanding is it’s not an easy cancer to initially diagnose and time is of the essence. Treatment for most cancers has improved tremendously so let’s hope all will be well. Tell those cable laying men to be more considerate. 😠

It’s a cold and damp day, Misty too, so our walk wasn’t long this morning. I accidentally shut George in the spare room yesterday and assumed he was snoozing somewhere but after about 3 hours went looking for him. I felt terrible when I discovered him on the spare bad as the poor boy must have thought he was in trouble for some reason. Dogs are so forgiving though and after lots of cuddles and apologies from me, he was fine, although it took me most of the evening to forgive myself!

My steak and Cornish blue cheese pasty is out of the oven so time for my lunch.

Stay safe everyone. It’s a ghastly world at the moment, locally and internationally.

Mike arrived with Jilly beans dog food and treats and has now driven back to Toronto and work. He thinks I’ve been so ill because I was isolated for so long in the cottage which makes me now a target for everything going. I agree! After thirty five years living almost alone I now live with such a lot of folks, some very sad cases. Michael say he’s going to have a conference with Mark on a way to get me out of here before another winter. I don’t see how, but feeling as I do, live in hope. Few dogs here so Bean is thriving. She is like a puppy again and just about wore Michael out when he took her for a walk around the park before he left.

Hello. It’s been a busy day, flitting from class to class, a trip to the grocery store, etc. I was happy to find the red Japanese sweet potatoes I have been hunting for! It was foggy this morning but it cleared up, the sun popped out and this afternoon we hit 51 degrees F. I put on my light weight jacket to make my trot down the street to the mailbox. I am still missing several banking documents needed for my taxes. Today was the deadline for the banks to send them. I guess I will be hunting them down…..

Jackie, what a complex mess with the local council. I don’t think I would trust them! I hope Rachael receives some justice for the reprehensible actions of that man. Do you think posting notices will be helpful in changing representatives. Hello to George, poor darling locked away for hours…..😢 Betty wasn’t with him apparently. If you have to move your luncheon to Saturday, I suggest you celebrate for several days! A coffee out somewhere with a treat perhaps on Friday? Every trip to the market costs a fortune these days I do believe. 👀

Anne, I am sorry you are still unwell. So no trip to the doctor? A friend called me this afternoon and she hasn’t been feeling well for weeks. She is off tomorrow for some sort of test. Her doctor said they need to start eliminating the possibilities as older people are subject to so many ailments. Well, I thought, so are younger people. At least they are trying I guess.

Sandy, having a happy time?

Barbie, how are you and Jake and the dogs? Are you having more seasonable weather now?

Hello Joy, Jeri, Diane, and other absent Sneakers.

Be safe.

It's a usual day today. I had my walk in the morning enjoying the bit more of daylight. Jake and Annie are napping on the couch and Bessie is napping in her dog bed. I am riding my exercise bike. We has great lunch followed by watching an episode of "Shetland ", our current favorite show. Weather is in the 40-50 range with only a tiny bit of rain

Hello. Another busy day. Got quite a few Valentines finished and in their envelopes. 👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent progress. Also continuing online classes while watching an extra one each day to get acquainted with the content and instructors. I am making a list of those whose style looks like it would work for me.

Barbie, good to hear you have everything on track. It’s so nice to hear that. Hello to Annie, Bessie, and Jake. 🫶🏻

Anne, feeling better today? Are you going out to eat in the dining room on your own schedule?

Jackie, I hope you’ve had a good day. Happy Early Birthday! Enjoy everything possible!



Back tomorrow.

Very appropriate as I still play my old albums. Thank you Lin. I’m enjoying my day and now have feet up after a roast dinner, sipping a glass of wine! 🍷
Jackie 🥰

Oh, and a teapot!

Good evening. I’m back! There haven’t been enough hours in the day (or weekend) but the next couple of weeks look quiet, fingers crossed. I’ve been given the phone number of another plumber and will call tomorrow because the toilet I want removed is still here and I think the plastic ball *kitten* I tried to fix a few days ago is still leaking into the bowl of the 2nd loo

I then fell asleep and it’s now it is way past midnight so back tomorrow! 🥰

Here I am again and determined to stay awake until I finish my post tonight. It has been mild and only slightly damp but my garden is far too wet to do much tidying and the lawn now has long grass a rabbit could hide in. I have continued on doing my best to help Rachael organise a serious complaint about the bully as has Linda and in between the two of us have been travelling round the Parish pinning notices up encouraging residents to rise up and rebel! It has become apparent the awful man has been telling his false version of events to council members but I think he might have been interviewed by the police now and hopefully they will take it further. As for the allotment site being sold to a developer Anne, it is certainly possible they might be considering it because owners of the surrounding land is trying to get planning permission for a housing estate and I’m sure it will happen one day. It’s about a mile from my home but although I won’t see it unless I drive past, it will cause chaos on our narrow roads.

Yesterday I drove Sheila to the moors for a walk then into town so she could purchase a paper shredder. Our refuse collection is changing soon to fortnightly pick ups and we are supposed to be given wheelie bins to keep it in, along with recycled items. Sheila won’t be physically able to pull hers to the pick up point but the council have offered to collect from her door and she doesn’t want personal papers being seen, hence the shredder. Great for my hens because I’ve asked her to save shredded paper for me to use as extra bedding!

I did read there was some wild weather arriving on the west coast of America and it seems no one is immune from what’s going on as the planet becomes warmer. Dreadful fires in Chile too.

Anne, my friend in your London, Ontario has been suffering a bad virus that has similar symptoms to my recent bug so it’s definitely in Canada! I was concerned when you said you were very aware of the freezing temperatures outside at night. I hope you are warm in your apartment and have control of the heating.

Lin, there won’t be any sort of police schedule investigating Rachael’s attack because sadly our Justice system has fallen apart. Not enough police, prosecutors or available court time these days so many cases get dropped. If Rachael’s is, I will ensure everyone knows what a dangerous man he is because genuinely I don’t think any woman should find herself alone with him.

Sandy, the phone number of another plumber is on my notepad but I’ve been too busy to call him. Tomorrow morning I will be taking George to his groomer’s home for a trim but after that I only have a pedicure booked for Thursday so my life should calm down.

Hi Diane. It’s always a treat to see you dropping in. A gammon joint is a type of pork cut, very tender and lean that melts in your mouth. That’s if you like pork and I know not everyone does!

Oops, one minute to midnight so I must let the dogs into the garden and then get to bed.
Stay safe and warm.
Jackie 🥰
