Good Morning Thursday

[Kaz]

Oh Cromwell!

Ugh Lissie, horrid for you!

Enjoy the lazy days Jen

Di I bought some Clarks fitflop style today, to replace the Fatface ones I bought last year as they have rubbed my toes to shreds! Will pop a pic on the Boutique board Glad Amazon came up trumps for you

Roasting out there, not really looking forward to pilates, to be honest

I have made appointment with a pest control firm to come next Tuesday and see where they are coming from.
He said to take down all bird feeders and any supply of water as that is what encourages them.
Sorry birdies and foxes--you will have to go elsewhere

Yes, I have relocated the bird feeders from the back to the side fence as there was some evidence there might have been rats or mice down there - the previous owner had to get pest control out apparently. The sparrows are very messy feeders .....

Crommers, did you get your £35K appearance money for retiring at Wimbledon in Round 1?

Very hot here today - and the new solar thermal system has developed a fault No pressure, man coming out tomorrow .....
Just put Master O on 14:51 train back to London so peace and quiet ....

Afternoon all, usual busy Thursday with the added extra of operating Granny's taxi - brought Michael to and from his soccer camp and in about an hour, I will be bringing him to then collecting him from his golf. Kellie and I went to the post office this morning to post a letter then went to a grassy area so she could play football and run around. Since lunch she has been playing with the various toys we have here. We will have dinner when Michael gets back from golf, a bit later than usual, then we will walk the children home, the benefit of having them living within walking distance.

That sounds lovely Osc.

Os, yes - and I'll be back to pick up my £5,700 for the doubles as well!

Good afternoon all, so late on parade today!

It's hot here and the promised thunderstorms haven't yet materialised. Tom's on his day off so has gone into Birmingham. Joe's watching DVDs and I've been into Stafford. This flippin' cold came back again on Tuesday night but I feel a bit more human today so thought a morning around the shops might do me some good.

Off to the vets shortly with Billy to have his paw checked. Hopefully it'll be all clear now and we can start walking him again. It certainly looks healed with no sign of infection anyway.

Saundra I can't believe that Lilly is 7 already! Hope she has fun seeing Little Mix! Happy Birthday to her!
