Oops I missed that it's a PB day have a great time Yogi

 

Congratulations to a truly wonderful Monarch

 

Squiggle, I'm pleased that you are happy with the work on your conservatory

 

As you say, God has it all in hand. From Acts 1:

 

⁶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

That's so comforting squiggle it's so important for us to keep our faiths strong and our eyes on the bigger picture

Thank you for links El I'll come back to those in a while.

I've been to town, bought birthday gifts for various friends and come home with a slice of malteser cheesecake
I have a ham in the slower cooker and am making broth with it

My dog sitting duties are over, all is back to normal here now

Summer, I hope you enjoy that malteser cheesecake, can't think I've come across that type before.

Your ham broth should be good

 

Aww what a cute wee donkey EL.

 

The broth sounds gorgeous and I bet that malteser cheesecake is going to be delicious Summer.

oh my goodness, what a sweet funny donkey! He looks very happy with himself

Congratulations to Her Majesty.

 

Aww, Dougie the donkey is very cute, El.

 

Squiggle, it must be great to have your conservatory all sorted and looking lovely.

 

Summer, ham broth sounds yummy - followed by maltereser cheescake is double yummy!

I'm glad your dog sitting duties have ended, with no escape from Houdini.

 

I had a brilliant day with PB, she is so funny, she cracks me up!

Today she said to me, "Thank you, your majesty", and bowed!, when I helped her through the bottom stair gate.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros.

Nifht owl hug in case Summer pops in.

night yogi what a CBB

summer if you pop in

 

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry and bright, but has an autumnal feel.

 

Meeting up with my best friend. She has just moved back to this area.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Supposedly a gloriously sunny day here but at present it's rather grey.

 

Your majesty, I am glad you had a good day with PB yesterday and hope you have a nice time with your friend

Good morning everyone, makes a deep curtsey to HM Yogi Aww what a joy PB is.  Have a great meeting with your friend, I am sure you will have plenty to catch up on.

 

The baby said his first word yesterday Dada of course

 

On reflection I think my vote would go to Fozzy Bear

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, it's always a pleasure to hear a baby's first words. I think your latest addition to the family could become an avant-garde artist when he gets bigger

I'm inclined to agree with you about Fozzy Bear, better than Miss Piggy

 

Since my post above, I've walked to the doctors for my annual checkup with nurse (blood pressure OK, sugar level OK, no change in weight, blood taken for routine tests, all within 8 minutes - receptionist hadn't booked me in for the annual checkup even though I had told her and always have it at this time of the year). May be the fastest annual check up in current times . Walked back and popped in the local shop for the Radio Times, and got myself a mid-morning drink (later than normal for me due to the appointment).

Doctor to ring me next Thursday with the results of the blood tests.

 

Well done EL, nice to have that over and done with.

Squiggle, yes, it's nice to have that over and done with. I'm likely to be busy once the real big job comes in so I didn't want to have to go back. Blood pressure at the surgery 128/82 compared to my own readings over the least couple of weeks 116/61. Nurse reading is always higher but still below the threshold regarded as high (over 140/90). I wouldn't want my medication increased as if the lower reading was below 60 that would be too low.

Good afternoon aw PB is too adorable yogi, let's get you a tiara!
I hope you have a great day with your best friend

Squiggle I hope you get some lovely weather that requires good use of your conservatory now

El, wow that's a fast health check but I'm glad that everything looks good so far

 Everyone. 
Glad you all well. 
Sorry not been keeping up with you all too much these days, been so busy with family stuff. 
Hopefully can spend more time soon.
Take care all 

Skylark, I hope all is well with the family stuff

 

Summer, it was a fast health check but as there was nothing odd with the tests that the nurse got results at the time, there was nothing really missed out out.

 

Just had a lengthy call from British Gas about the smart meter readings problem. It seems that other customers had been having the same problem. Whilst they were on the phone I checked my online account for the electricity and gas smart meter daily record and it is showing daily figures since the beginning of the month so it does seem to be working as it should.

 

They mentioned the Warm Home Discount scheme they, through the government scheme, run for those over pensionable age. She seemed to think that although I haven't reached the state retirement age for men that as I'm over 60 I might be able to claim (£140 off the heating bill).

Here's a link to the scheme if it's of interest:

http://www.britishgas.co.uk/pr...m-home-discount.html

 

I don't meet any of the criteria, but it's still worth knowing.

 

 

I found out about that scheme last year EL, I was advised to enquire into it and I made a note on the calendar and did so and they tell me I qualify so that should be a big help with the winter bills.

Squiggle, that scheme is a good idea as the £140 (which is knocked off the gas/electicity bill) is on top of the winter fuel allowance and must help those who most need it.

 

Good evening everyone.

 

I had a great time catching up with my friend. As you can imagine, we spent a lot of time chatting about her grandson and PB.

 

Aww how lovely for your grandson, Squiggle, to have the baby saying Dada.

 

I'm glad your health check went well, El.

 

Haha Summer, I had a tiara when I got married.

 

Skylark, good to see you. I hope you are back with us soon.

Togi, I'm glad you had a good time with your friend catching up

 

We made it through another night of CBB, Ros.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

 

 gruelling thoughnight yogi

 Sure is, Ros.

Good morning everyone.

 

The sun is shining but it's chilly.

 

Grocery shopping today and might go out for lunch with hubby, but I'll pop in when I can.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Dry and fairly sunny here. The last dry day, rain from tonight.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a good grocery shop and enjoy your lunch

Good morning everyone, I think we will probably get the rain a little earlier than you EL ours is due to start about 7.

 

Enjoy your shopping and your lunch Yogi, has cutting back on cakes paid off on the scales?

 

I have just taken down the bedroom curtains for washing, I probably won't put them up until next week as climbing up on stepladders takes it out of me a bit nowadays.  Never mind I never draw them anyway.

 

Squiggle, Baz will come after you if she sees that

 

In my area the rain isn't due until 11pm and seems to be mainly overnight so could be dry by the time I get up.

 

Good luck with the curtains

Good afternoon
I hope you're all having a good day

Afternoon Buddies  

Hope your day goes well 

Sunny two days here so all me washing is done. Last line out now drying 

Yogi, lovely to read you have had lovely days with PB
