    Fairy, thanks. I am " doing ok", ie better than a few weeks ago. I think this makes the odd sleepness night all the more annoying. No logic, no patter, no obvious triggers, just annoying. 

    Are you walking this weekend?

  • Morning all!

    Survived IKEA, it wasn't too bad for 5pm on a Friday. Ate dinner last night and promptly fell asleep on the sofa. 

    No gardening this morning due to the rain. Have got a candle called 'a garden hideaway' burning though.

    Just waiting for the rain to stop and then we will be taking the Harley to the garage for an MOT. I'm not sure what the rest of today holds, I'm in one of those moods where my body feels tired but my mind isn't and can think of a hundred and one things I should be doing.

    Morning all

    Quite muggy here this morning. Sun is trying so hard to push it's way through the clouds.

    Pdoc sorry to hear you're still having troubles with NDN hope all gets sorted soon. Hope also you feel better soon, big hugs. Hope to see you back here very soon. Take care x

    Had a Nanna day yesterday, great fun.

    You're right Lilyp, is was very hot this time last year, little poppet had just been born. Dil was sooo hot she borrowed a couple of our fans.

    Hope all poorly, achy peeps are fully recovered.

    Sorry to hear your car can't be mended RB, hope you're feeling much better tho. 

    H*******k for me today, washing almost ready to go on line. Then may sit in the garden ......weather permitting!

    Have a great day everyone, take care x

    Hope it settles for you. I know what you mean about it being worse when you get a bad night after a lot of decent ones. I got so used to rubbish sleep that I felt weird when I got a good night! image

    Intended trying to get out tomorrow as last night it was looking marginally better for Glen Lyon. This morning it's poor again. It could change several times again though. Pretty much the same everywhere unfortunately so it's a case of trying to find a decent prospect. Should have gone out somewhere yesterday after work when it was good...tennis got in the way.... image image

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

    Fairy - when I said the Federer result was wrong I meant for me personally image -  love watching Roger image

    You're right that the best player won though. Roger was looking very tired at the end and Raonic played some simply brilliant shots. I suspect he will give Andy a run for his money tomorrow if nerves don't get to him.

    I know I'm not the biggest fan of the omnipresence of mobile phones, but this morning has just takent he biscuit. 

    A friend of a friend has posted photos of a funeral , including what seems to a queue to take photos of the coffin.

    Have some flippin' dignity for goodness sake.

    The other was video someone took from an open window of some guys stealing a bike from a back garden. 

    "SHOUT OUT THE WINDOW AT THEM, OR , GUESS WHAT, USE YOUR PHONE TO CALL THE POLICE" 

    I despair.

    Morning all.  Raining again here *sigh* so I shall have to get on with the backlog of little jobs which are waiting.  Including the i*****g.  image
    Personally I prefer watching doubles tennis.  I really admire the skill of singles, but doubles is such fun, and so incredibly fast too.  image  Heather Watson always seems to have a huge grin in her mixed doubles matches so presumably she enjoys playing as much as I enjoy watching...
    Punkdoc, if you're looking in - hope your doctor is a real help, and, as others have said, don't hesitate to keep the police updated.  Nobody should be able to get away with making another person's life a misery.  
    Hope for better sleep tonight, Hosta...
    Enjoy your weekend everyone!

    Funerals - photos - that is dreadful Hosta - Isuspect they've been doing it in the USA for some time though.

    We went to see The Proclaimers in concert a few months ago. Dark auditorium - lots of little bright screens all over the place taking pictures / video / Facebooking / Instagramming etc etc - totally and utterly distracting - put me right off paying the sort of money you have to part with to go to these events.

    It's called courtesy and respect - some people have no idea of the meaning of these words.

    Why do people feel the need to shoot a really cr*p video of a sporting event instead of just soaking up the atmosphere and actually enjoying the event?

    Some people seem to live life through a screen....

    Rant over.
