Good Morning Thursday 30th July 2026

marydoll that was very insensitive of your DiL, your health issues would have many of us taking to our beds permanently.
You obviously put on a very brave face. I do hope the dentist can do something useful to ease the pain in your mouth.

Good morning everyone from sunny 23° Lancashire.

MrB and I have been for a walk around the Dock. There’s a stiff breeze which is very welcome on such a warm day. I’m struggling with what I can only describe as muscle fatigue, plodding rather than skipping. I’m not actually sure if I can skip these days, I may try it later while holding on to something

Wishing you all a good day whatever you’re doing 🌹

Go steady * Blossoming*!!

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Glad you have got your appointments R L
Good luck

Thank you all, 💕I am now over my wobble. I just felt overwhelmed, especially when I discovered a PC update had wiped out my Gmail account.
However, I went into IT Co-ordinator mode and just made a new account and was able to retrieve everything. I haven't lost my touch.
My IT engineers, DS and SIL are mightily relieved, that I won't be calling on their services.

DIL, has no filters, that's the problem, she does it all the time. However, it doesn't stop me loving her like my own daughter.

I am ecstatic, I have a washing on, nearly ready to go out in the sun and strong breeze!

I share your enthusiasm for small triumphs, Marydoll, a line of drying washing is always a delight.

Have just finished a useful conversation with our financial advisor who reminds me that I should be giving money away if I think my choices are better than the Chancellor’s. I just need to know how long I will live and in what state of health!

A quiet week of not much apart from being waterer in chief locally as so many people are away. Just hope I can keep all my charges alive for a few more days.

Good urm, midday, Michael12 and all!

I'm a very happy bunny for 3 main reasons!

1-Yesterday it was raining slightly, like a sort of misty type, then when I looked out of the bedroom window about 10ish last night, everything was very shiny and wet, and it was coming down quite hard!

2-Last night, I bought myself something I'd normally only have once a year - Lucozade, which was originally Glucozade when invented as a medicine in 1929! I went to Spar and bought 2, 900ml bottles, costing me £4.18. One in the fridge and the other on my bedside table, along with a bottle of water and a bottle of water/orange juice. Sometimes I just need a fizz fix late night/early hours!

3-My boss lets me have personal parcels delivered here to the shop, being I'm out a lot; if it's too big to push through the letterbox, then it comes here. On Facebook, I follow Felixbellawillow; Felix is the tuxedo, his sister Willow is multicoloured, and their late sister, Bella.

They've written 4 books - ''Felix & Willow Cat Tails of Mischief and Mayhem'' ''Felix & Willow The Bodmin Burger Bandit'' ''Felix & Willow The Barn Years of Trouble and Triumph'' and ''Felix & Willow Good Morning To Chaos''. All by M L Scott.

The Barn Years arrived here at work yesterday afternoon, so I've got all 4 of the paperbacks! For any of you on Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok who love cats, I recommend you follow them; they're absolutely hilarious!

So I'll start reading The Barn Years tonight while stuffing Rum and Raisin ice cream in my gob!

See you all later!

Yes, TheWeirdo you probably read that was invented in 1927 in Newcastle by a pharmacist William Walker Hunter. Yes, as a sort of medicine, but I read it had one of the greatest resurgences in history after it was marketed as an energy drink.

We knew mum believed us if she bought us a bottle of Lucozade 😀
