I have just watched it and left a thank you message

Have a safe journey and I hope the meeting goes well, El.

Thank you Yogi

 

I hope to pop in here before I go out tomorrow but as I'll be in a rush thought I would mention it today.

 

Good thinking.

*night owls*

Evening all I hope you had a good afternoon. I can't believe it's that time of year again when El goes to the middle of nowhere.

My eye test went well, no need to alter my driving glasses.
Then I skyped my mum, who looks great. Retirement suits her
Then I called my brother for a catch up, he's doing great too.
Then I had a bath!

Hi Sweet

I'm glad you eye test went well

You have had a busy 'family' afternoon too

Followed by a bath to relax too

Hi Summer. Glad all went well at the opticians.

I know it's early days but has your mum settled into her retirement?

I'm pleased your brother is doing well.

Eldest son phoned me tonight to ask if I will go to his house tomorrow to wait on their new sofas being delivered. I think I'll be sitting on a dining chair while I wait - numb bum day! 

Oh nooo yogi Crikey I hope they deliver early!

Well moonie, mr summer arrived home after just 2 pages of my book, so I cut my bath short lol but it was nice while it lasted
How was your day?

I was sitting on the floor when my sister went to here new place, waiting on gas and electric connections in mid winter too eek:

Hi Yogi
Had a good day?

Delivery should be between noon and 3pm, and son will be home by 2.30pm so it's not too bad.

Not good timing Mr Summer

My day was good fankoo

 At least I'll have a dining chair.

Hopefully you won't need to be there all day long then yogi

That's good. It saves on the botty damage

Maybe I ought to take a cushion with me?

No, thank goodness!

I've got the new bed arriving on Friday afternoon and still have things to do before it comes.

Definitely take a cushion with you!

Or one of those air filled rubber rings

It would need to be a big one!

 Will do.

I'm about to nod off

Sweet dreams moonie & yogi night all x

I'm going too, Summer. I'll need to be up early and get organised before I go to son's house. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer and Moonie.

Ros, night owl hug.

Goodnight Sweet. Sleep well and have a great Thursday. Sweet dreams

Goodnight Yogi. Sleep well and hope the sofas come early. Sweet dreams

night yogi summer moons

Good morning everyone

 

It looks as if it will be a reasonably sunny morning for my journey to Hereford though forecast to cloud over later.

 

Yogi, I hope your sofa waiting day isn't too boring.

 

I hope you all have a good day

Good morning everyone. It's raining but not windy.

I need to get some housework done, before going "sofa waiting".

El, I hope the visit to your client goes well today.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

Good morning

It's a beautiful morning here

Safe journey El and good luck waiting yogi

Squiggle & moonie I hope you have a lovely day, whatever your plans are

Thanks Summer, my house group today, it should be good

 

I hope your journey is trouble-free EL and Yogi I hope the delivery guys are punctual and your cushion prevents numb bum

 

I have some plants (hebes) that have got too old on the sloping bit of my garden so I am getting my grandson to come and dig 'em up and next week we are going to the garden centre!  I was thinking that a rhododendron or two should go nicely there.  I think they were originally grown on the slopes of the Himalayas, maybe I could squeeze in an Azalea too

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Buddies

We have sunshine and my first line of washing was out by 9-30

El, I hope the journey goes smoothly

Yogi, Here's hoping the sofas arrive on time

Sweet, I have no plans other than household chores

Hope you have a lovely day too

Squiggle, I hope your house group goes well

 

Have a lovely day everyone

 

I'm back from my journey to Hereford with the client's accounting records which will keep me busy over the next couple of weeks. The journey was reasonably straightforward though it's not a route I particularly like. I take the A40 from Gloucester to Ross on Wye. Before it gets to Huntley it goes through a tiny village called Birdwood. It brings back sad memories of someone who I knew well at church whose daughter was killed there in a car accident caused by someone driving too fast. The daughter was in the late stages of pregnancy

The speeder got away with it and although caught avoided a prison sentence.

 

The road between Huntley and Ross is full of bends and drivers have to be really alert when driving. Just after Ross I take the A49 to Hereford. Straighgtforward route. There is a steep bend to watch out for and you need to be careful as otherwise you go go over the edge of the road on what looks to be a really steep drop. Although there wasn't a lot of traffic, when I got to Hereford itself, it becomes a slow crawl. First 29 miles took about 40 minutes, next 4 miles about 20 minutes.

 @ those smileys, Moonie. I was running about like a mad woman, trying to get everything done before I had to go out.

That is so sad, El, and atrocious that the speeding driver got away with it.

 

Son and DiL's sofa and (huge) chair arrived around 2pm so I was able to do my grocery shopping on the way home.

 

Yogi, I think the driver was able to convince the jury that it was an unavoidable accident. The woman whose daughter was killed thought otherwise.

 

I'm glad you were freed from sofa duty by 2pm and get your shopping done

That's understandable, as she was robbed of her daughter and grandchild in one fell swoop.

That's very sad indeed and to think he got away with it too is awful. The poor family, having to carry on with them and having no justice too.

Moonie I hope you were as smiley as those smiley's when you did your chores

They made me giggle too Yogi

Hope you managed to get everything completed

Glad the delivery was early enough for you to go and get your grocery
