    Sorry to hear about your niece, Verdun, but as it was an old school colleage, maybe he was trying to do a Romeo and Juliet!image

  • Good morning all,

    Sorry to hear about your friend,Dove. We were really worried about my son last year as he had terrible headaches and his eye drooped. The GP  said they were worrying signs but the scan didn't pick up any nasties in his brain but found a nodule on his thyroid which was not related to the headaches apparently.  He has since had half of the thyroid removed and is trying to cope with not taking thyroxine. So hopefully your friend's outcome might not as bad as she has been told.

    Morning Forkers (just!) image

    Sitting here wishing the weather matched the forecast at the top of the GW website. It's currently raining - that's supposed to be tomorrow!  Still, just watched two blue tits eating bugs off the quince in the front garden before being bullied away by the sparrows.

    Verd, sad to hear about your neice's experience with the police. I thought I had a burglar (the alarm at my parents house went off) and I had two cars, and some very fit young men to check the house. They arrived within 15 minutes, I didn't have enough time to change out of my nightie image Luckily it was a false alarm - my alarm had malfunctioned. 

  • Morning all. Hope your niece can get a satisfactory outcome- I'm sure if she doesn't then her uncle will step in image

    It is raining here today. Son has booked living room for footy watching so Iamcosy in my bedroom with TV on and laptop to hand. I will try to get school work done today so I can get outside tomorrow if it is dry.

    I think yhe idea of looking back of picsof our gardens in the summer is a good one for today. I think it was KEF who said she would be doing that.

    Have a good day all

    Morning..oops sorry...afternoon now! Horrible day here so will have to find other things to do. Have to go out anyway for a while so perhaps it will clear up later.

    Hope your niece gets sorted Verd. Horrible when you know the person.

    Off ot have some lunch. Used the slow cooker for first time yesterday. Think I might make large quantities at a time and then freeze.

    Have a good day all image 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Good day 

    Warm here, went out without coat and have been trying to tie in a rose which has suddenly taken off before I am ready for it - climber and haven't the vine eyes and wire done to attach it to so now there is a strange arrangement of canes. 

    Not bright sun though, quite cloudy.

    Verdun I hope your niece will be ok. It is such a shock, I know. I am sure you will sort it out.

    Son keeps using my lap top as his is beyond repair, this morning I had to hunt for it. OH says he will take him to a place thats sells refurbished computers during the week as this morning hunt the lap top was not amusingimage

    Been mucking out the horses' summer shelter. It's up a hill and the top of the stony paddock and I'm ashamed to say I had been a bit lax. The farmer had delivered big bales of hay into it for them to help themselves but where he leaves them sitting in the field before gathering them in goes mouldy so all that bit has to be chucked out, and droppings. Took me nearly 2 hours.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Verdun, I think she(your niece) should tell his(the burglar) mum!

    But she should probably take some backup.

    All I got from the police SOCO, after the burglar had been identified, was a leaflet on crime prevention, and the comment---" its not his fault , he's a drug addict."

    Whose fault is it then? Who decided to try the illegal drugs, and then stick them in a vein in the first place.? This excuse irritates me to death. My doors and windows were locked,and I had a burglar alarm on.What else could I do?  machine gun emplacements or wire the handles up to the mains?
