Now I know who set all the dogs off barking
Still sunshiny here and there's a wren in the GH. Don't think there's a connection but, who knows
Enjoy your holiday Susie and I hope today feels like a holiday for everyone else too.

Afternoon all,a drop of rain has been had,and so much cooler,i fell asleep in the chair this morning,battery must have needed a charge,MR had a bit of a shock earlier on,put a mirror in front of him so he could see what the upper limbs were doing during some excersice,he realized the the affected arm was thin,yes said i,it's muscle wastage to to no using,plus a general chat of encouragement again,think it has altered his mind set a bit,when i had to do physio with my shoulder a while ago i found it good to look in the glass,you can see how you are getting on and wether you doing it correctly,these things work so much better when you do them willingly,i will continue at him until he gets the message ,mmmm looks like ti's dried up outside,to late now to go down the road,look in laters

Afternoon all, rains done with and its cloudy/windy/sunny
Ended up popping into town for the second time this week to visit the bank
July is an expensive one with Birthdays, so I'm not surprised.
Done all the putting in, taking out, transferring and asked for a statement at the end.
It's still in my bag, don't want to look yet ......
Had a quick look round BM for any bargains, all gone thank goodness. There's no air con in any of our stores, can't stop too long in them, definately couldn't work in there

Hope you managed to rescue the poor wren from GH...!!!

Oh, that was Toby setting all the dogs off saying 'hi' from across the coastline....!

I am indeed enjoying my holiday, thanks (although I'm wondering how all my growing 'babies' are doing at home. 'Sfunny how you can miss your own back garden .....) (I know they'll be tended by lovely old neighbour, but I bet he won't talk to them the same as I do ..............! )

LD, hope Mr LD manages with your encouragement to do his strengthening exercises ....it's got to be hard to keep motivated .........

Have a good evening, all!

Emailed one of our local Councillors this afternoon asking if she would be available to make presentations at the Annual Show on 14th August. She has replied in the affirmative and asked if she can bring along 2 girls aged 11 from Chernobyl who are staying with her for a spell - this is common in this area. I have advised they will be more than welcome and I'll arrange for Treasurer, (my daughter), to get some small momentos they can take away in memory of their visit - all ideas, suggestions will be gratefully received. :-)

Off to the allotment on my new bike - my old pal and fellow allotment holder Jeremy Corbyn will be so jealous :-)

Evening all Glad you're enjoying your seaside holiday Susie. It sounds great.

The weather started off dull and wet but it's been a cracking afternoon. So far spent the school holiday sorting through my daughter's old clothes and toys and filling all the charity bags up. Luckily the local infant school wanted her barbie house which she no longer plays with so the kids there can enjoy that. Her bedroom is starting to look tidy again - probably won't last long!

I had the bright idea of putting in a wide flower border down one side of the garden but it's not the best time of year to do it while the ground is so hard. We've got half done. It will give me a bit more space to add some veg in next year as well as flowers so double purpose. I didn't mention the veg bit to hubby as that might not have gone down so well

Having a nice little rest and browse through here before a game of frisbee.

Evening all. Well I was at work for 8am this morning, bit of a shock getting my act together for that time in the morning.
Very wet first thing this morning but dried up nicely this afternoon.
Have a good evening everyone

Shen...could you ask the ones who organise the trips ?
We've had similar round here recently (over the border ) , been coming for 10yrs now.

Susie jealous of the seaside trip and even the bracing walks , sounds lovely , you'll have to tell me where with you taking Toby . We tend to end up east coast beaches.

Am off to shens polybar again....🍷

Good idea - I'll speak Nan - she will know - as you say it has been going on for some years - there was a big screed recently in the papers saying it adds years to their lives just breathing clean air for a period of time. I've put vodka in the polybar. :-)

That sounds wonderful!
Hmmm...seeds might be a problem , how about bird/ bat boxes / hedgehog homes/ insect hotels etc with DIY plans to share back home?

Nicos - I was thinking more of a silver pendant or some other such trinket :-)

[Ms-T]

silver pendant... a bird.

Cuc gin is a fave but il sup the vodka first **glug**
Yes a single trip can add 2yrs due to clean air up ere
