The SCREAM thread

[jay hay-char]

Grey but dry here in Winch. We're going to Hinton Ampner in a minute, to look at the roses. Mrs hay-char has an Art Card which gets her free entry, but I have to pay, and it's not cheap.

Aaaaaar - no, hang on; wrong thread

Well; I'm really on the ball today - it was Mottisfont we were going to, not Hinton Ampner. Easy mistake to make. Still lots of fabulous roses, and suprisingly nice weather, considering it's the weekend

I'm picking up my daughter from the station later this evening: she's staging a phased return from Uni which will also involve lengthy drives to and from Canterbury next week, to get her gear. In the mean time, no weekend drinkies for me until I've gone to meet her off the train tonight. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Where the sun don't shine comes to mind

Funny, that's where I told my boss where he could put his job when I told him I was taking early retirement

 

[chris lowe]

Yet again tonight about half 5 the neighbours had another %&$£@*****&^£ barbecue, so had to shut back door, and close all windows. I don't mind a barbie now and then, but they seem to fire it up evey sunny day. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

I wanted to say so much more when I handed my notice in my last job, but I held back in my resignation letter, but there were always other ways to get back before I left................

Hate the smell of the burnt fat....barbecues NEVER smell nice... not round here at least....and I'm the same.....shut all the windows and the door.....fortunately I've not been subject to them yet this year....

I took early redundancy (so didn't get to have my pension as well) but I'd had my right hip done, then I had some leave leftover so never really went back post op....just for a half day to clear my stuff out......wonderful, magic moment.......

Don't feel too excited yet Jan summer is still on the way and the air will be scented with burnt sausages, chicken thighs etc I hate it too l also hate eating it. And it makes the air stink

I am so happy that I attended my first DESMOND session this week. Such an experience. A double act consisting of a diabetes nurse (Syd Little) and a dietician (Eddy Large). It was just like being in primary school again only with bigger chairs. So looking forward to the next act in 2 weeks time.

Not too useful then

I don't know how you can say such a thing

Why are dieticians (usually) such bloaters? ...though I have to say that the one doing the Desmond course I attended was young, slim and extremely fit - in both senses of the word

Male or female lol

 

[jay hay-char]

Male or female lol

Female in this case - though I'm sure male equivalents also exist

First dog show of the year where we've been allowed to have a stalk and its peeing down......aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh

Just had an unnerving thought. I'm pretty sure that I've got an appointment on Tuesday but I can't find any mention of it on the calendar or on my phone diary. The reason I'm sure is I thought at the time that it was a stupid thing to do as we won't be home til the early hours as we've got Fleetwood Mac Monday. I know it's not dentist, hygienist or doctor. My brain is shutting down and I can't think of what it could be

Don't know if it's too late, but Gardners World Mag has a buy one get in free tickets for various gardens around the country, but I've just realised that if she's got an art card then you only want one ticket. I think my brain is too tired out.

I remembered when I woke up for a comfort break about 2am! It's the optician at 11.15 on Tues. Thanks for remembering the post though.

Hello.

So I went to a fancy pants spa hotel t'other day.

Big warning sign on the steam room and on the spa: "do not use this facility if you are .................. diabetic"

****** that!!!!! *

* I acknowledge the link between heat and blood sugar and of course it is not cool to deliberately put yourself at risk of a hypo. But a girl needs to unclog her pores from time to time!
