Chitchat thread #24

Prevening All It's dark now so expecting fireworks any time soon. I'm not sure how folks afford them these days. The display we had on Saturday cost about £150 and lasted for about 4 minutes!

[Nicos]

Dark innit!?

And I’m back with Hibou.
All blood tests good and within normal ranges. Just waiting for one other but they are not expecting a problem
Main problem is her heart, so she needs an ultrasound at some point. On heart med until then(. Plus the rest of her antibiotic course).
Not that we’d put her through heart surgery anyway- whatever the problem ….so it’s very reassuring news.
Talk about utter relief. The previous vet was there and looked very pleased to see such an improvement in only 3 days!

So… I’m going to have a nice cuppa to celebrate, then enjoy my hotpot.

Oh what good news for you Nicos,such a relief,had me jab,now to see what i fancy for tea,then relax before bed time,

[Snoop Puss]

Excellent news, Nicos. What a relief.

[Florence Fennel]

Brilliant news Nicos Enjoy your hotpot

[Nicos]

Thank you
And now I don’t feel so guilty when she asks for a ‘treat’ and I give her a couple ( several times a day if I’m being honest)
I think we’ll do this health MOT every year now to keep a closer eye on her.

Nicos that great news about Hibou must be such a relief to you both, give Hibou an extra treat and cuddle from me. xx

Morning all.

Early winter bright sky out there. That very pale blue with weak sunshine. The weather folk on one of my usual sites say it should be cloudy and drizzly. They've not been very accurate recently.

Bit noisy here at the moment, as Mr Snoop is having a rant at the people in a reel on his phone. This is a first. Just as well we don't have a telly...

Lots of work on the cards, as once again I didn't get much done yesterday. I need a really productive day soon.

The smiles were a bit sluggish this morning. They came in late last night, full of the smell of cakes, I'll be bound. But I've at last sent them on their way so they should be with you eventually. I reckon they'll be visiting the cake bakers first, mind.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all.

A great night's sleep. I've spent over nine hours in bed and slept for well over seven of them.

Nicos, I'm sure Hibou is enjoying her treats and extra cuddles. Pets bring so much joy but so much worry too.

I really ought to do a grory hop today while it's quiet. ....hopefully. Last week was really busy with kids everywhere.

I'm sure that there were far less fireworks last night than normal. I don't think the local pub has had a firework display this year either. Although it is yet again murky this morning there is not the
smokey smell in the air that we normally get just after Bonfire Night.

Snoop, you have my sympathy with the phone rant. Mr GF keeps yelling at the woman on TV who gets out of the walk in shower in an advert. I think he's trying to get her to accidently drop her towel.

I need more coffee now.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Dull again here. I was woken early by a scam on my mobile. This is the third time I've reported and deleted it. So annoying and worrying that the vulnerable elderly might be taken in by it. Its pretending to be from the Government offering a fuel payment. I've been reading since then!
Lots of fireworks last night - some really lovely ones, but very loud. Have a good day

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all
Only just woken up a few minutes ago!
Just time to get the washing machine earning its living…well someone has to and make a brew.
Even Hibou didn’t come and wake me ..or if she did then I didn’t hear her!

I really need to attack the leaves on the lawn today. I did some yesterday but the magnolia is falling thick and fast.
Sewing again- of course.
And apart from that, I think I’m in for a calm day. No doubt involving cooking and freezing more windfall apples!
I’m not even thinking about the hazelnuts….

Not seen the smiles yet Snoop - but I can feel their glow

Enjoy your day peeps- and thanks for the kind wishes and snuggles for Hibou….I’m not so sure she felt them when I was stuffing her medicine down her throat this morning She did however rather enjoy her ‘licky lick’ - no idea what they are really called…long thin sachets of irresistible liquid mush. “Licky lick” somehow sounds so much more pleasurable. …well, so too does a mouse I guess to a cat!

Morning all, sorry just noticed it’s afternoon!!! Hope this finds you all well! Good to hear Hibou is on the mend Nicos!
it’s a dull, dank smirry day or as we say in Scotland, it’s dreich. Ironing this afternoon, wish me luck.
Enjoy the rest of the day folks x
