The amazing thing EL is that they didn't know the dog.   Well I can only put Tilly's 'homing instinct' down to God's hand upon her.  If she had been picked up by the dog warden the cost would have been £44 plus £13 every day she was kept by the kennels, they would have struggled to pay.

That is amazing

As a child, The Railway Children was my youngest son's favourite book and film. 

I'm pleased to see the BBFC made a sensible judgement re the complaint.

 

Squiggle, how lucky that Tilly turned up ay your friends' house. I'm so pleased little Miss Mischief came to no harm.

 

Thank you for the goodies. I love, love, love scones! 

As if they think the railway children would promote dangerous activity! Health & safety gone mad again

 Exactly.

 

How does Bramble cope in the warm weather? Keira likes the morning sun for sunbathing but she seeks the shade when the sun gets really hot in the middle of the day.

Pretty much the same, she'll walk any time, any weather but we prefer to keep her walk to early & later if we can. On the hot days I only take her to toilet during lunch break, and then we sit in the shade to eat. I miss the longer walk but I don't want to over heat her I wonder if Moonie is feeling any better? I hope he's resting up

For moonie;

I hope he soon feels well enough to come back and post with us. I don't like to think of him being under the weather.

Me either, he is such a cheerful FM too, it's not the same without him

I'm feeling sleepy so will wish you goodnight yogi Sweet dreams see you tomorrow

Goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone

 

Warm and sunny here. Tomorrow is forecast to be hot here and could be the hottest day of the yeat at 30C.

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is sunny this morning.

Last evening, Mr Yogi and I moved the lawns and cut the trees/hedges in the back garden, which means I can have a relaxing day in the garden and enjoy the sunshine today.

Youngest son is day off and might pop in for a visit.

Moonie, I hope you are feeling better today.

Good morning everyone, isn't this glorious weather?  It is set to be cooler down here tomorrow 23 maximum which suits me much better than your high EL.  I do hope moonie is managing to enjoy the sunshine and not feeling under the weather too much

 

For you moonie

 

Isn't this charming?

 

At the age of 90 and married 62 years, these two are acting like they're in their 20s. This is a great video that shows we are only as old as our attitude. These two were an inspiration to everyone at the clinic that day.

 

Great video clip squiggle

I have a great big grin on my face, after watching that clip. 

Good morning wow it's going to be a scorcher, it's hot already Yogi I hope you can enjoy your day in the garden, I expect your swing will get plenty of use today El, how's your shoulder today? Moonie I hope you're feeling better today, come back soon Good morning squiggle

Good morning Summer, hope you are having a good day, be careful of the sunshine mind

 

I have got the little jobs out of the way before the heat really kicks in.  I have cleaned the outside of the little utility room extension, it has plastic cladding on which gets very green, I'm not sure whether it's to do with living near the sea but it's horrible mucky stuff.  I'm filling up the pond, I've skimmed it as well to get rid of some funny green stuff (it's my green stuff morning ) and rescued one large newt, one baby and one tiny thing which I think is a baby newt still in the process of turning into a newt if you get my drift.  Then I will transfer the hose to start sprinkling the top lawn. 

 

Does Bramble like the heat? Where I was yesterday she had a small long-haired collie and she looked dead miserable in the heat poor thing.  She wanted to greet all the visitors but her mum tucked her up inside for most of the afternoon,

Well done squiggle on your progress with the little jobs

 

Summer, my shoulder isn't too bad now. I've been off the painkillers for the past few days as I don't need them and am continuing to do the exercises. I will need to remain careful with the shoulder for some weeks not to start trying to lift really heavy things which might reverse the process.

 

Moonie, I hope you are starting to feel better

You are a very busy bee today squiggle!! I hope the green stuff clears off easily enough and that you can stop for refreshments too. My mum is arriving on Wednesday so I'll be busy frantically cleaning the house before she comes! There's nothing like having a visitor come to stay to make you have a thorough clean up El, that's very good news about your shoulder, well done for doing your exercises properly one of my colleagues frequently complains of a sore back but missed her physio appointment because she couldn't be bothered to go that day, I just don't understand that

Well done on getting rid of all the green stuff, Squiggle.

It will be nice to have your mum visit you, Summer. How long is she staying for?

Thanks everyone for your 'get well soon' wishes and piccies 

I shall see you all soon 

We miss you Moonie. Take care of yourself.

Summer, next time your colleague tries to make a physio appointment she may find that she has to wait longer than she wants to as they won't take too kindly to people who mess them about for no good reason.

 

I once had a client where I had arranged to go to their house on the other side of town at a specific day & time something like 10am on Monday morning, got there to find no-one was in and left a card saying I had been but no reply. The wife rang a day later with the excuse that they had had to go out to buy a bed or something like that. Although I did the accounts that year, after that we parted company.

My mum is coming for 3 nights and I've managed to get that time off work too so I can spend some time with her even after the funeral El, I don't blame you, when someone is coming to the house, you jolly well make sure you're home!

Summer, it will be nice to have your mum for a few days

Do you want to let us know when your MIL's funeral takes place so that we can be thinking of you, Mr Summer and family?

Good idea EL.

Quite right too, El.

Lovely idea, El.

It's on Thursday it's all planned now, the funeral directors have been amazing

 Glad the funeral directors have been helpful.

We will thinking of you and Mr Summer on Thursday.

What sort of service have you chosen Summer?  Is Mr Summer going to give an eulogy and are you having hymns or some music that MiL loved?

We're just waiting for the priest to visit squiggle, she didn't want a full catholic service so we're having the shorter version. That's all we know so far

I'm sure you and Mr Summer will make the right choices for her.

I need to sign out now, goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Moonie, in case you are reading this, I'm sending you a big Get Well Soon hug.

Sweet dreams yogi hope you sleep well, see you tomorrow

Aaaaw Goodnight buddies Moonie, I hope you are soon back with us, get well soon xxx

Good morning everyone. Weather is dry and bright, although not as hot as the last few days.

Summer, that owl is so cute! I may need to go on a hunt for patterns for knitted animals/ birds now!

Middle son (fish police) is visiting this afternoon, so I need to make sure everything is in order with the fish tank.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Sunny and forecast to be hot here

 

at Summer's knitted owl.

I'll be thinking of you, Mr Summer and family on Thursday.

Good morning everyone, another beautiful morning, just the way I like it not too hot. 

 

I am sure you will give MiL a grand send-off on Thursday Summer, I will be thinking of you all.

 

Thinking of you moonie and hoping you are able to enjoy the sunshine.
