S'mae pawb~~

One thing about Bank holidays, it's one less shirt to iron. ;-)

Hubby's been planting the garden again, whilst putting on sun screen , he tans very quickly and it shows on his face. But he is fair skinned and liable to burn if he doesn't slap on plenty of sun screen.

I could be out there all day and I'd still look pasty ! Just as well we have the coloured cosmetics !
I do tan but go a sludge colour, he eventually looks golden...,thanky for the false tan Mr Olay, sun can do more harm the good anyway.
He will sit in the chair after gardening , but I'd rather go for a walk to stretch my back and knees .

I have to check where I put the prop now !!!
He does plant carefully and put markers where he's planted.

Hope everyone is as well as you'd like :-)

Take care folks
luv

Hello Everyone,
This is late for me but I'm waiting for a phone call from my friends to say they got back home safe so I thought I had better check on you all.
It's been a lovely sunny day and it was great to see our friends , loads of things to talk about and get up to date with one and another.

Sue, `` tooooooooooooo much information `` never, you can say what you wont on here. Glad you are recovery okay you have been through a lot . Tell your daughter to eat plenty of hot curry .

Phone's ringing hang on.
friends are back home safe and sound.

Ann-C, why are you worried? I like the hot-pants your wearing.

Sandie, going to have our ovaltine now in a minute, hope you are okay.

Jude, how's you. Keep your eye out for postman Pat x

That's my lot folks.

~~~~~~~~~ to friends not mentioned, hope you are all managing okay.

Night Night

Good afternoon :-)

Sylvia, sorry about your friend, there has been an awful lot of bad news lately and I just hope it stops soon.

Good news on the job front Bethan, well done to your BF :-D

I hope this finds the rest of you as well as possible. I managed to get in the car today with the help of the PostureLITE cushion. Those extra inches mean I can get my bloody long legs into the car. We drove to NCE and had a coffee in the pub and I walked back to the mart car park (about 1/4mile). Very slooooooowly but the ride to the pub in the wheelchair was so painful with all the bumps on the pavements

:-(

I am still wearing nappy liners with Bepanthen...lolol cos I is sore :-0 never, ever catch a hospital acquired gastric infection gang cos it ain't funny! Hopefully by end of week I shall be 'normal' in that area ;-) If that was too much information....tough! :-D :-D :-D

Still no sign of daughter going into labour, this morning she walked up and down Gwaelod Y Garth mountain but nothing yet.

We will try and get to the house towards the end of this week just to check on everything. I have to be sure I can manage the stairs before we go. Pretty sure I will be OK.

Well that's it for now, keep as well as you can.

Sue (in a sunny Cardigan Bay)

Don't know what goes on behind closed doors ;-) Wink wink.

....but having met Vic on a few occasions I would like to say he's a lovely gent in every sense of the word and has been such a generous person helping someone and their husband that his wife met on GR he deserves a medal. :-D
along with Jude.

Perhaps he could have nicked GT's..but no he is really a gent ,wouldn't stoop to that......just got his autograph and photo taken with him ;-) :-D

Can't wait to see it on your blog Jude.~~~~ to Vic :-D<3

Not met Phil,but trawled back on your blog and found pic of him with one of Jeans cats on his lap. :-) :-)
Pleased that Phil has good neighbours :-) :-)
It will be tough for him . Hope is niece is very supportive .

Dad had sis and I (me daily ) for support and he eventually managed 13 yrs (mostly pleasant and happy) after mum died.
He'd looked after her for 10yrs whilst she was ill.

I hope Phil can get any support that he may need now for himself, and his friends and family rally around for him.
I know 2 who will !!!

Where's the boss?
Gone to bed with the Ovaltine and wifey of course :-) :-)
Hope you haven't been over doing things in this fine weather !

Hubby's being in the garden all day and says his knee is knac*ered, he should know when to stop !

Take care all
luv
Sandie.x<3

Thank you everyone....we will relay all these messages to Phil as with the ones on the other thread.
She was a lady that could'nt dislike, she had an air about her from her nursing days, which said "do as you are told"...LOL...no messing with our Jean, but very funny too:))

Jude - I am deeply saddened to know that Jean has passed away. What a brave and sweet lady she was. As you say, she loved the simple things in life, her garden, her flowers, and her cats.
You and Vic have been such good caring friends to her and Phil, making her life easier where you could. Bless you both for that.
Now Jean is at peace, the suffering over. <3 <3 <3
