Well I slept for 2 hours plus and pottering. I must had had 5 brandies, HVDY, which is far too many, as it didn’t knock me out at all just eased my reactive feelings after such a difficult time.

That is some cemetery! Yes, the supermarkets are fine for your standard plants and sometimes some nice surprises too.
Enjoy son.

Scaredycat I hope that when it is cooler as it is now at 7pm you find you can enjoy the family “do” - the heat saps ones energy and the more so for you as you are quite vulnerable. I just cant imagine the ages of your huge flock.
Yes - where does the time go - where has it gone? I’m glad to hear that he cats in your garden have not been excavated as yet.
Well you cant drink wine so you just go full on for the very best cake and choc, and what did you have at the do.

So you have a special Fluffball voice too, Sweetpeasue. I think many dog owners do but often a well kept secret.

3 miles is too far becuase you want to use the energy ON the beach, dont you? It doesnt sound a very touristy area like further south?
My goodness, what a dream! Huge heavy duty caring in it! I’m not surprised you woke low.
Sensible to potter and tidy, I hope you got some nice M n S treats.

I had a long sleep.Just allowing myself, after all the stress last week, to flump around in my long nightie/more like a long day dress as well. I did do a wash...still watching Montalbano, I will hate it when I get through the 10 DVD's. I'll make myself stick to one unit by having white wine, I have a box.

I’ve been to the theatre today. Enjoyed it but had to walk really fast uphill to catch the bus. Feel totally drained and exhausted now but a good day.
Wyllow a good sleep and rest will do you good. So much stress for you recently

Wyllow I’m working backwards through the posts and have just come across the wonderful news that Mr A has been banned. What a relief. Such a vindication of all your efforts. So pleased for you

HVDY hope the BBQ went well. Nice to have a family get together. That poor woman. Sounds such a difficult thing to cope with. So nice of you to go in for a chat. Yes I did take my fan and I needed it. Such a hot day,
Scaredycat hope the party goes well. It should be cooler now. Been such a hot day. I do hope you enjoy it. My hair is not dead straight but not curly either sort of wavy .
I was in a cafe today coming back from the toilet when I saw the back of a man sitting at one of the tables. He looked so much like my DH it gave me such a shock. I wished so much it really was him. My friend turned to look at where I was looking and she thought the same too.
Sweetpeasue bad dreams affect me too when they linger during the day. Managed the theatre with a fan but the bus journey was boiling. I’m totally exhausted
Sorry your Dh has had such pain. Do you have any idea hats causing it.
Ellie Anne have you been in the garden? Hope your weather is improving it’s so hot here.

It is exhausting when it's so hot, Doodle Can just imagine the bus journey.

What was on at the theatre?

that was a shock, like a deja vu (hugs) x

ScaredyCat Hope the family get-together went well. Ours did. I don't know why I thought it was going to be a BBQ - it was takeaway. 6 had pizzas, 5 had Chinese (I had pizza), and a chocolate cake to follow. The children and dog all played together. LG was her adorable self. How many were at your party?

SweetpeaSue Sorry your husband hasn't been very good today. We're almost in July, so hopefully he'll know more about what the pain is. Nightmares are horrible. Hope you have some pleasant dreams tonight.

HowVeryDareYou2 Sat 20-Jun-26 22:44:17

Wyllow3 That was a nice long sleep you had there. I was tired today but managed to stay awake.

Doodle Glad you had a fan to cool you a little bit. What was on at the theatre? Oh, that's horrible when you see someone who looks like your loved one. It's been pleasantly warm here today, not blazing hot.

Had a nice time with all the family - seeing them all again tomorrow, at Bakewell (Derbyshire), the Thorbridge Estate, for the day. DH and I will be taking our chairs and big parasol. Hope ALL BDers have a good sleep tonight x

Sweetpeasue Sat 20-Jun-26 22:45:18

Doodle That moment, when you saw that man looking so like your DH must have been such a shock. With your friend, thinking the same- well he must have really been quite a lot simular. I hope youve been OK tonight after that shock.
Hugs and hope you're OK.

Sweetpeasue Sat 20-Jun-26 22:48:05

Thanks HVDY Ive been googling his pain tonight as hes been particularly bad and been clutching his left chest most of the night. The angina spray doesnt help .
