Wyllow Thankyou for keeping me 'in heart and mind' - a lovely thing to say. Your gym is such a great place for you and a real help to keep your body and mind together.
Your words to Nadateturbe from that song 'I am safe, I am safe' helped this morning - was on a knifes edge waiting for GPs call so I kept saying them to myself. Hope today has been OK for you.
Doodle I can only echo the sentiments of everyone here about your church break in - such a despicable act- just cant understand those people. I do hope there wasnt too much mess left to clear up or precious and loved sacred things taken. Hope youve been OK today - its s warm here this afternoon - 20deg - but nothing like where yourself and Scaredycat are.
Scaredycat Yes it was a milestone birthday for son yesterday ( me too in September!) Im like everyone here, still talk to son's like theyre little-' make sure you put suncream on' ect when theyre off on holidays. Though we need it here this summer dont we. I am sorry about your friend having bad news from consultant - shes been through so much. Its would be so good if her new treatment works , I do hope so.
HVDY Jaffa has only 2 fangs . Oh dear ,those menacing looks. The friend I visited a couple of weeks ago was looking after her DDs cat and she just sat in front of me staring without blinking. I was a bit nervous then it came over and rubbed itself against me purring. My friend said she must like you as she's been very shylike and doesnt normally do that. Oh my that was a bad night for you wasnt it. Wonder why you had the coughing but also the palpitations? Are you still checking the BP- hope thats dropped a bit. Nowhere DHs not as bad a hoarder as your friend , goodness - all thise wage slips and bank statements.
EllieAnne Hope youve been OK today. Are you getting warmer weather yet? We could do with some more rain here - had some showers this morning, the first for weeks.
So we actually got a F2F this afternoon. GP is writing to this Vascular dept and making sure theyre aware that DH has had pain ever since the stent op and his past history. She says theyll have his records ( those that were from out of this area when he went to York) though the Rheumatologist didnt when we saw him last. Anyway ,feel better that the Vascular dept will have more info though still anxious that they will be dismissive as they were initially - which caused us to go private. GP said we should be hearing from Vascular soon since the radiogist had said it was urgent.
Hope everyone has been OK today.
Love to all.x

Doodle What kind of people break into a church 
. Was there much/any damage done? I like dogs but am wary of them. The dogs who were guarding/looking after you sound gorgeous. Alsatians and Retrievers are both very nice family dogs.
HVDY you made me laugh watching Filthy House SOS. 
. I'm sure your bedrooms look lovely now, all spick and span! As regards skirting boards, I have an extendable feather duster and I dust them every week, and thats it. The radar key sounds good, I must investigate that.
I too still talk to my children like that. My 54 year old son just went on a cruise and I sent him a reminder about packing his inhaler, and my other son is constantly told to wear a hat. We never stop being mums.
I'm glad your headache has eased, I'm sure it was worrying, it's difficult sometimes to get the medication that works for you. The readings sounded better yesterday.
I do puzzles too. The 1% Club is good. I love Nerdle. A couple of us on GN do it.
Hope you're relaxing now after all that hard work. 
Doodel I'll have a look for one of those gadgets. Thanks for that. What a great place the hospice is. It's obviously very important to a lot of people. What type of dog have you been looking after? Son1 and family have got a Husky/Collie dog, aged about 5. She's gorgeous and very well-behaved, but for the past week or so has been reluctant to go for a walk with anyone except him. She goes a few yards then wants to go back home - she usually loves going out with the children or the gran, so they think someone or something must have frightened her. She feels safe with Son1 (perhaps as he's 6ft 2 and broad).
ScaredyCat Your GD2 must take after you for staying cheerful and not complaining about things. You've been looking after your GrandCats too, then . How's your SIL's dad getting on?
Wyllow3 A day of not doing much is fine. Did you manage to go to the park?
SweetpeaSue Thanks, I'll probably need to take an extra BP pill - the GP has tried me on 5 different ones already. The readings have been around about 155/78 today. Did you feed the ducks? We buy some pellet things that don't sink to the bottom of the water, from Amazon. Your aunt will enjoy going out, but may be unsettled again when she has to return to the home. It'll pass. I bet she'll love her presents. You've got a middle-aged son, like me . I still say daft things to mine, such as "Aren't you going to wear a coat?"
EllieAnne Lovely photo. I'm glad you're having warmer weather there.
nadateturbe Good to hear from you on here. Life must be difficult with M.E. Hope you have some better days soon.
Fed the 2 cats at Son1's, watered his plants (he grows vegetables and herbs), and am going to bed soon. Hope everyone has a restful night x
What a lovely day in here to come into.
nadateturbe it is lovely to hear from you. Never forgotton, as with others and you are right it is horrible living with your levels of M.E and the unpredictably makes it hard to plan.
HVDY you are certainly having to balance your meds all the time, as in more of this means that, then more of that, this happens..…you do very well. Well yes, there is no skirting board inspector in BD land Well done with your brother. That was hot out!
It is an energy drainer Scaredycat you are right. I pick up when it gets cooler too.
Farmers markets are delightful - it’s the ambience on a sunny day, children running, and all. Oh, this distance thing, when there are jobs to have to move to and many got to uni and end up somewhere or other or end up marrying someone from somewhere else…normal in my family. So glad for you DD is local. I hope.
Ah, the slowing down thing. Well the hot weather sort of forces it which is a Good Thing for me.
EllieAnne Actually that photo was delightfully atmospheric. The sort of mist glad island…the light streak across the sky, and the foreground glancing well with the sea. You have a good eye for a picture. Its hard to get going when you have been sleeping badly, but pictures like that are good to see. Soft, calming. I just wish you in such a difficult patch.
Dear Sweetpeasue - just wishing you well for getting some of the help you need this week. I’m glad Fluffball is still with you even if you had to prevent him going after ducks rather firmly . I hope you sleep as well as you might. There needs to be a gransnet overnight thread, well there was one for a bit. I have wave sounds on at night generally, I find them calming.
This one I like as its even waves and lapping not crashing and you can set a timer if you want. I think it’s a non advert one except the start, but there are some def non advert on u tube after the first ad..

Yes, craneflies I think, as I did go for a Costa with a friend then a stroll in the park when it was cooler, good natter, and the same flies were over the river.
Oh it made such a difference, the temperature! Just people watching and the kids running round.
But today was a lesson - if I want to do something, do not do a lot in the evening and stop staying up late listening to music and poddling around (maybe as its cooler then - but has its costs).
