    20:30 and I've put his lordship to bed. He was still throwing up as he got ready for work and again once he was at work. Even I wondered if some of it were food related. He still seems unwell, not to mentioned shattered!

    My friends are updating Facebook with photos of their date nights... me? I've found a lovely book to read on social history. Bliss! 

    Sweet deams all.

  • Hope your ribs are feeling better soon FG.

    Chicky, congrats to chicklet. 

    Clari, hope your OH feels better in the morning!

    Thanks to those who have left their best wishes after my last post.  The last few days have been draining, sorting through paperwork and belongings, waiting for the coroner to contact us, starting to plan a funeral, and so on.  The whole family has been so supportive of each other though, we are very lucky to have that.  

    Not managed much in the garden other than watering/feeding and cutting the odd flower.

    I'll have to got to bed soon - up early to walk a couple near Fort Bill. I'm worn out after the jumping!  image

    Watched the bit I missed on iPlayer. Snickers and a cuppa for me Dove. I need to keep my energy levels up...image

    Watching Tom and his budgie smugglers now - he's cracking on well too  image

    Come on the hockey girls too  image

    Thank you Dewdrops - if Nick Skelton can do what he's done after what he's been through - I reckon I can manage to carry on ...image

    Hope the next few days are ok for you too. I know how difficult it all is with funerals. x

    Hope the predicted stormy weather wasn't too bad for anyone. I'll catch up with you all tomorrow at some point.  image

    Well, hello to all, especially those with bruised ribs and sick stomachs, etc. 

    we had a large storm pass through last night and the rain gauge recorded 9 mm. That's the first this month.

    sunny now.

    I had an interesting experience last evening. We were sitting in the lounge room watching TV and (in my case, colouring) when I felt something moving around under my top. Several attempts to stop my imagination without results meant taking my top  off and a little centipede slipped out. image Hubby stamped on it.

    Pondering this morning about how it got there, I realised that when I get firewood from the wheelbarrow and carry it in, I pile it up into the crook of my left elbow so that I have the right hand free for opening the door. Ah, I thought, that's how it got there. It was probably living in the wood. unpleasant thought. They can really hurt if they nip.

    Morning Joyce and those to come/afties Pat

    Off soon for my walk. Supposed to clear and be good up there. Looking forward to it image

    I can't get the tennis Joyce - don't have the sports channel. Shame about Nadal image

    But what about those hockey girls! It wasn't looking good when I went to bed so I was thrilled to see that result when I got up  image  I've lost track but we must be looking good to beat that London tally of medals - or certainly will be very close. Superb stuff.

    Have a great day all - whatever the weather....image

    I'll catch up later
