What I did today.

I put on my duvet coat and mittens for the first time since March to walk the dog. Then spent the afternoon rehearsing the choral bits of Messiah with about 100 other warblers - performance tomorrow night - absolutely exhausted now so going to gargle with honey, vinegar and warm water then get into my jim jams for this lovely long night. Night all xx

My winter duvet is going on on Monday when the bed gets changed!
I spent today reading files and crocheting another beanie!

My dd reckons I ought to cut down on work and I think I agree. I'm working 4 days this week! Think I'll cut down to 3!

It's not the tribunals themselves that stress me, but all the reading before!

Has such a lovely day. I've posted some birthday photos of my little grandaughters and their amazing birthday cakes on my profile. They had a ball and went to bed tired and happy

jeni I think the travel must be stressful especially when we go into the winter when you are sent further afield, start a new cottage industry with your beanies.

Don't mind the travel as I always have a taxi.

when I have just had a peek the girls are gorgeous and you would never think they had been so premature. I love the cake.

What lovely wee girls, when! And what a cake!!!

So sorry to put/hide this in here, bumped into another person that I hadn't seen for ages, usual chit chat, and then she asked after "the children" gave her an up-date on DS1 and the two DG's, then asked " and what about Jack, what's he up to these days?"

I don't know which of us felt the most awkward.

Strange event all round, as for the past week or so I have been having very intense "Jack Dreams". They seem to come & go, sometimes they are almost comforting, at other times rather distressing.

Not much more to say, really, no doubt give me 10 minutes and I'll be in "Lil's Bar", posting a load of nonsense as usual!

Please, no flowers and there really is no need to reply, just like to sort of offload from time to time.

Many thanks,
R.

We hear you R, so on with some chat x

Just about to open a bottle of wine. It's been a busy day. As my daughter said earlier - 'when those babies have had their bottles and settled down in their cots, I will be having MY bottle!

Wine all round, when!

Although I have just done something that I don't usually do, I think I may have been a tad contraversial or even challenging on another thread.

Will nip down to the kitchen to top up my glass and see what lands in the bunker!

Not to worry, phoenix - sometimes you just have to say what you feel! (I'll be in that bunker with you...)

Tin hat, Ana, or a balaclava knitted from used brillo pads?

Yep, ambulance. I am following them over

when those girls are lovely and the cake is amazing!

gracesmum what a worry for you again.

gracesmum, keep us posted?

Sorry to hear it's ambulance time gracesmum. I hope things are sorted quickly and he's safely home again ASAP

Oh, so sorry, gracesmum.

Lovely pictures of twins, when - and stunning cake!

gracesmum - sorry to hear about your DH. Hope he feels better soon and it doesn't cause you too much stress.

gracesmum done that a few times here with DH.. always seems worse during the night, so hope daylight brings some improvement.

grace best wishes to you and R

Oh grace phoenix I feel crap when you have so much going on, I thought I had posted ages ago but.

Crimson, Shutter Island, have I missed a good film on TV? I read the book ages ago and loved it!
About to have a glass of the Sangria my daughter brought us backk from Spain, but have found it too strong to drink as it is, I put lemonade with it, she reckons I`m ruining it!
