Morning Belle :-) <3

Not out so early as you, but I went out for a walk earlier and it was just pleasantly warm with a gentle breeze. So nice.
In for the rest of the day now.

Just read back. Interesting what you were saying about childhood illnesses.

The only thing I had was measles at about 5.
My sister, who I shared a bedroom with caught scarlet fever and went to hospital aged 3, but I never got it.
I never caught chicken pox when she did either nor from my 3 children, when they all got it :-S

Having been 'well' for most of my life, recent events came as a shock.

Morning Gwyn & Ann oops meant Fly <3 <3 :-D :-D

I've had a concrete lorry across my drive for the last 2 hrs :-|. The annoying thing is they never asked, I've already had words with the Builders :-|. If I go out I like to go out early it will too late and hot when they finish :-|

Morning everyone :-) <3

Beautiful day today.

For some reason I couldn't sleep last night (it wasn't to do with the heat) so I got up at 5-45am which is unheard of for me and now I feel as if the day is going to last forever.

If it wasn't for the carpet fitters coming I think I would be asleep by lunchtime :-D

Keep cool everyone.

Morning Fly, Kath and everyone :-) <3

How annoying, Belle :-|

We all know that renovations mean some disruption, but to just park and hinder your life is too bad.
Trouble is, this sets the tone for future neighbour relationships, which is sad.

Our neighbours politely asked for access through our side gate recently, so they could get their gutters cleaned. No problem and the man was soon gone having parked in front of their house, not ours.

You'll have to have an early night, Kath ;-)

It will be so good to see all the work finished, so that you can get your rooms straight again.

Sort of good news, Belle :-)

The people doing the echocardiogram aren't the ones to report back to me, but I did ask a few questions ;-)

Will have to wait for the proper report when the results have been passed to them and a decision is made. Telephone appointment from hospital is already booked.

Morning Everyone :-D <3 <3 <3 <3

Very sticky here, although the windows are open and there is a breeze. :-)

Keep calm Belle, it wont do your blood pressure any good <3

Wishing you better Gwyn <3

I hope you have got Mr Shifter in Kath to help you with the furniture <3

Got some nectarines from Sparkles the other day, and we had a couple last night. They were glorious! We sat there like a couple of mucky pups with juice running down our chins. :-D :-D :-D

Keep cool <3

Good afternoon all :-D <3

Just had walk to the village and have to say both OH and I felt as if we were ploughing through treacle :-0 :-0 :-| Must be the high pollen count.

Back home now and under the cool of my sycamore tree. Thanks to my Dad for planting it 56 years ago <3

We made some iced tea yesterday. Have to say it was delicious :-D :-D :-D

Have a good afternoon everyone <3

Gwyn - the room is finished now and just needs the furniture moving back in. My son and a mate of his are going to do it tomorrow. Maddie - I'm not paying Mr. Shifter when it's son's room and he is capable of moving it with a friend ;-)

When the decorator stripped the walls we found my name written on the wall with Aug. 1993 after it. That was the last time any decorating was done in this house and we did it ourselves back then - oh to be young and able again !!!

We've managed to get the three bedrooms done since hubby died and we've asked the decorator to book us in sometime before Christmas to do the hall, stairs and landing and also the front room (but they don't need papering - just painting.)

Nothing looks too much different but having white paintwork instead of old yellowing paintwork really makes a difference. The paint they use these days has very little smell so it's all good :-D

Evening :-D

When I said Mr Shifter, Kath, I was thinking of Mr Shifter in the PG Tips advert. The one with the monkeys. Mr Shifter playing the piano before moving it upstairs :-D :-D

Funny you should say about writing something on the wall before papering over. I am sure we wrote something a bit saucy on our wall in our old house in about 1974/75. I wonder what the new owners thought! :-D :-D ;-)
