Lovely to hear from you @D0rdogne_Damsel, glad you are finally sorted, things will work out fine. Look after yourself, any chance of taking a few days R@R?
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Lovely to hear from you @D0rdogne_Damsel. It is likely that the negative feelings you have about the house are there because you are so tired and fed up. As you said, when September comes and there's less work at the restaurant, you will start liking the new house. Hey, it's your own house! You'll make it lovely with Charlie's help.
@Lizzie27. I am glad that there is progress, you'll soon feel better.
Today is hospitals day, by coincidence I have a check up with the thyroid surgeon and a mammo on the same day at a different hospital, but Luxembourg is small 🙂 There's a school fête today so there might be time to go for a Thuringer and a trip down memory lane
I suppose today is into the hospital for you @punkdoc if the op is for tomorrow. I hope everything goes well for you. Today's expression is pertinent for you: Rosée du jour de Saint Savin, Est, dit-on, rosée de vin. Put your wine glass in the fridge for your return!!
@Lizzie27 Hooray for a diagnosis and medical treatment. Still not very pleasant for you. Are you feeling better today?
@coccinella - Hope you make your appointments on time despite the different hospitals.
I remember in my Annual that I had as a child, a story about a yellowhammer that sang "A little bit of bread and no cheese." Funny the sort of things that stick in your mind. I think @Dovefromabove you had a similar or the same book. There are no yellowhammers around here either. But there's plenty of blue sky to get the whole ship decked out in trousers!!
Progress!! @D0rdogne_Damsel Onwards and upwards. You have "La saison" to get through now and then you can get stuck into the house and garden in autumn. Good that your ex is moving on.
Very windy here and sunny. Not a drop of rain yesterday evening nor a drop in sight. It's going to be very very hot for all the military personnel on parade in the Champs Elysees on Friday being Bastille Day.
The vegetable garden is very very slow to ripen. It seems that I am not alone as a friend in Avignon has the same problem. Fruit on the plants, but slow to mature. Water ban is in force of course. The land is so dry.
I hope you all have an agreeable and pleasant Wednesday.
Hugs and positive thoughts to all with medical ‘stuff’ going on … and special wishes to dear @punkdoc, and to Moira too. Our thoughts will be with you every step of the way. … 🤔 is ‘every step’ appropriate? 😜.
@D0rdogne_Damsel the new house may not be ‘perfect’ yet … but if it was that would be someone else’s doing not yours. You and Charlie are going to make it perfect for you, together … and then it really will be perfect and it’ll be a home that you love because you’ve made it together. 🤗
@tui34 I think lots of people say the yellow hammer sings ‘a little bit of bread and no cheeeese’. Probably lots of people had the same book. 😊
I had an odd dream about swallows nesting in an old Victorian cart shed at a place where we lived when Wonky was small.
More coffee arriving ….

Morning all. Punkdoc ❤️,one for you. I have a cousin in her 90s now,her oldest daughter lived in Tenerife. For her 80th birthday,they gave her tickets to fly out there. She said she almost didn't bother with insurance, she moaned about the price (she's always been a moaner frankly) got it with the PO. whilst she was there, she fell # femur,was operated on with spinal block, she was (understandably) frightened and said most of the staff didn't speak English. She didn't feel a thing,and the result was first class. The family were relieved, because they would have all had to take a bank loan to pay for the surgery and a huge amount for the repatriation,which they greatly underestimated.I worked in a breakdown garage for a while after mum died, where one of the breakdown drivers was a fireman/paramedic and did the air ambulance and repats. I was outside at 6.30,weeded the veg plot, ready for the kale going in. Checked the greenhouses, deadheaded,bit of watering. (Putting a bucket in the shower now.... using that to flush the loo) Taking (other) neighbour out for cream tea today ...sea front hotel,as I was ill on her birthday in may. Allotmentboy, I was going to say the same about the toes.when I did karate, were made to do excercises and pick up things with our toes. My little ones are curled right in.....no idea why, only Clarks shoes as a kid, started nursing in 1972, "proper"shoes, never worn rubbish,so can't understand why. Good wishes and love to fellow forkers.
I hope times will be easier for you now @D0rdogne_Damsel, now that you have a house and your ex realises that he isn't part of your life anymore. Did you buy the house? Seems to have gone very quickly compared with the other one. I hope you will have the time to change it to your own taste, then it will feel more like home. What is the garden like?
Friends are coming to dinner tonight so I have cooking to do.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good morning all, DIL has just left for work and will come back to cook us dinner - I could get to like this arrangement. I am so lucky to have such a nice DIL. What a difference one little pill has made already @tui34! I slept really well and managed to get out of bed this morning without such an awful struggle and my fingers/hands aren't quite so stiff. After todays 3 pills, I hope to be bouncing around!
So pleased to hear that you have another house @D0rdogne_Damsel. Once you have all your things in it and bought some new ones, hopefully it will soon feel like your new home with Charlie. You really ought to try to have some rest from the business as others have suggested. Life is much easier when you're not so tired. Good riddance to the ex, let's hope he does move soon.
Courage and best wishes to Punkdoc today - and Moira! Tomorrow night it will all be done! You will be amazed at the difference.
@coccinella, hope you made both appointments on time.
