Black Dogs 29

ScaredyCat I would have preferred a ladder examination. I think you meant bladder, but it was my cervix. All ok, anyway. Do you have your hair blow-dried? Mine is fine and flyaway, with a tendency to get frizzy. I'd love to have thick hair. How annoying that your prescriptions weren't ready. It's been warm and sunny here, and muggy.

Wyllow3 Your draft letter will have laid out the facts about it all, and I hope they appreciate and take notice of the way it has all affected you. Best of luck, hope they do what is fair and right.

SweetpeaSue These squirrels - what a good job you managed to avoid it. Yes, I'm glad not to need any more appointments or tests. When you are at a cafe with Fluffball, and she whines, would she settle down with a chew/biscuit or toy? Glad your aunt waved you off ok when you went and didn't get distressed. Keep distracting her and telling white lies. The carers sound good. They work long hours (12, I think), something I couldn't have done.

EllieAnne Hope the weather will pick up where you are. We had torrential rain last Thursday. People around our way are moaning about it being too warm (26 degrees today).

Nice day at the day centre - chicken salad and new potatoes, then sponge and custard. Various games- skittles, darts, blow football, shuffleboard, and quizzes. Hope everyone has been ok x

EllieAnne I know what you mean about rainy weather when its every day. Bound yo get you down, especially, when you need to get out of the house. Oh you've tidied your airing cupboard, thats pricked my conscience- I really need to tidy mine. Hope the weather tomorrow is a bit better.
HVDY Do you know , I should really have thought of that - about the chewstick. She's quite strange with her own kibble dog food and seems to prefer to eat like a human! If shes not had her breakfast kibble Ive given her scrambled egg and she loves that. I think the vet advised them to just give her dog food as they'd been giving her other stuff when she didnt eat it. Very hard when its someone else's dog .
Your chicken salad at the day centre would be up my street.

I read a lot, do cross stitch, croswords, sudoku,and various word games on I pad. I can’t sit and do nothing. Even when I’m watching Tv I have to be doing something else as well.
I am ,meeting a friend in Costa tomorrow.
My clothes could do with a sort out too. And the kitchen cupboards!

Nice pub lunch there yesterday, HVDY. And good food for hit weather cat the day centre. The games sounded fun. Have you a special friend there, or is it generally nice?

I hope the mugginess wasnt too tiring, Scardeycat. Frustrating! Another direction could have taken you for coffee.

Have you got a nice feathered and layered cut?
That footie game must have been quite something, I only saw bits, did you watch it live?

(Brother comes a week tomorrow)

Oh, how lovely, a woodland walk, Sweetpeasue, sort on for now it’s hotter. Oh dear, the costa Fluffball training still Clearly has a way to go. I haunt read Frankenstein, I think I’ve been put off by the “reputation” and silly film versions. That is one relief as regards the squirrel.

Aunt smiled -oh…and the happier wave - may it continue, it must have warmed your heart.

You certainly drew the short straw with the rain, Ellie Anne
I’m glad you got out to the cafe - do you go to the same one? Good work on the linen cupboard. Yes, I’d be holding back on the kitchen one….you do keep your mind active, don’t you? I’m genuinely impressed. Do you do the cross stitch kits, or make it up?

Ah, it’s all about the company, Doodle. Clearly not a judgmental or competitive group, which is good.
No reason you should like Balducci, I’d just wondered. Oh dear, your arm must be grim to look at…just so relieved it’s not hurting - they must’ve got it right, hopefully.

Need to know. -what was the cake?

I had a scone today, then walked just round the corner to a posh charity shop, what a haul! Two short sleeved lose linen mix blouses, one black, one white (both needed), and a cotton mix reddy orange dress, one of those fashionable tent things with pockets and enough blow the knee to be wearable.

I am relieved this meeting is coming up at last. I known it will produce a mix of feelings, but it will be very hard for them to turn my request down, for a number of reasons: its not and end, but a reset, as there will be some who are not happy - glad I dont have to take part. Tomorrow my first Ex-that-I-get-on- with is coming over for this and that, so we’ll meet for lunch at the Bot Gardens.

Not sure when I will hear the result.

have the best night you can BD's and remembering those not in or just reading. Are you back, PurplePixie? How did it go?

EllieAnne, I hope it goes well with the friend in Costa tomorrow.

Wyllow I used to do kits but now mainly just do cards at Christmas and special events. I’m nearly finished a baby one for someone in my bible study group.
There is a cafe connected to my church in walking distance so I go there occasionally. If I am in town it’s usually Costa or one at the beach
I hope all goes well tomorrow.

Nearly finished

Aw that is so cute! 😊 I also admire your doing Sudoku - I cant get my brain around it. Any other Sudoku BD's?

Thank you. I just checked out - MrA will be on the sex offenders register - it never dawned on me to check the law till now - and yet he was instigating people to accuse me of invention.

You cant make it up, can you?. If only ~I'd been well and on the ball enough to pick this up earlier - or Safeguarding should. Anyway I just emailed the HQ lady - not to broadcast it to all, unless necessary to prove to others. (Exit stage right to dry hair, quietly fuming)

SweetpeaSue It's worth a try to have a few dog treats in your pocket when out with Fluffball. Son1's dog doesn't beg or whine, but they always have a few dog biscuits for her, so that she's included .

EllieAnne You do keep your mind active. I love that cross stitch "baby" one you're doing. Hope you have a good chat with your friend today.

Wyllow3 I give a lift to a man (then sit and chat with his wife for an hour when I take him home), and am very friendly with a couple there, although I know everyone there and talk to them all. You got some good buys yesterday. Just right for summer. Hope you have a nice lunch with your ex today, and a good old natter. I don't do Sudoku, but DH does.

Meeting my friend for lunch at our favourite garden centre. Hope everyone manages to have a decent day x

Thanks, Doodle The things we have, as women! I'd assumed my days of being examined down there were over. Glad it's all ok though. It's good that you haven't got any pain in your wrist. Can you use it alright?
