Good morning everyone from a sure start of a day where koffy abounds even if the day is still uncertain. Yesterday we visited some gardens and wandered round raising and collapsing umbrellas as the rain dictated. Brightened up about lunchtime though and Mrs Miggins got lots of ideas about for a rockery that she has been thinking about these past few months. We had a Chinese corner in our previous garden and we do miss having it. Art bit, another finished ink drawing so must think about what next. Have the best day that you can. I will now press the plunger on the cafetière and slurp some koffy.

A great finish to the ink drawing @dunelm
Enjoy that coffee...
 
Fbg 6.6

I did have another picture worked out last night for today, but as I was in bed preparing it, a huge black cat came up to my bed and asked with his huge big wide eyes, if he could jump on the bed. I said yes.
Carefully he lay besides me on the edge of the bed. Then ever so slowly he creeps on to my lap...

He has just been kneading me...

Midnight has everything he wants now.

Creative is a photo of Midnight

He actually photographs very well for a black cat, because his fur is very shiny.

Hello everyone from a still arid little America. So far neither the thunder storms of which we were warned nor the promised isolated showers. Parts of The Real Fens had a drenching yesterday but this part of the world seems to be a rain free zone. @dunelm the finished artwork is quite magnificent, thank you. @gennepher Midnight seems to be slowly assuming the role of Popeye in your life if never quite in your heart. @Krystyna23040 stunning fbg and demonstration that careful off piste trips may temporarily raise bg but don't have long term impact. I'm relieved Mr K may finally be getting a well deserved sausage roll. @jjraak hug for the onion moment and the dilemma of family social. I hope the CT scan goes well. A different brother and sister grandchild combo here today. We have already had a video call with an 18 month old girl who had an operation to remove a cyst yesterday. She seems to be unaware and unaffected by the whole thing. Thanks be to God. For those enjoying rain good for you. As always, take care and hydrate well heat or not.

A rotten night's sleep, this upcoming CT scan playing on my mind more then I care to admit to myself even.
Left me unsuitable for any testing .

FIL's 79th birthday.

Not in the best shape to go, for a few reasons, , but since accident Laurens done most of her family socials alone.

I Decided no more.

Checked to make sure she was ok with that.
She was, ...IF I was sure .

I always ask if she wants me to go. And she knows I'll go if she needs me, but I also know she says not to bother, to protect me....
(how far we've fallen, but can't help love her for it :happy:)

Tonight I went..

Had a lovely evening.
told them AND got told by them WE/THEY are my family ...lovely moment .

Awkward but caring questions, carefully answered re accident, etc

Not truly awkward, and rather nice, if I'm honest.
What on earth was I worried about :rolleyes:


Yes, rather a lovely evening all round
:headphone:


Seems PTSD therapy is back on tomorrow...:)

I'd Rather finish regardless of the revelations, then be left on this plateau.

Rain + rain + rain today....so a cooler evening all round, thank goodness .

Sleep well. All.

Another day begins tomorrow.
:)

Really good that you had a lovely evening and good that you are continuing with the PTSD therapy. You are definitely making good progress.

Lovely picture of Midnight. I am sure that Popeye would approve of Midnight becoming chief indoor cat with all the perks that come with the job.

Good that your grandchild is unaware and unaffected by the cyst removal yesterday.
Mr K decided that he couldn't face a sausage roll after such a huge breakfast at the hotel so had a coffee and a piece of National Trust shortbread for lunch. I threw caution to the wind and had another ice cream. This definitely stops today as it is the last day of our little holiday.
We had a lovely walk on Dunwich Heath but it was rather sad that the heather hadn't flowered this year because of the drought. Instead of swathes of purple heather it was acres of brown heather.
 
Good late afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are offended by the woke lovers being offended by the aunty woke lovers, me, me’s and myself is offended by my lack of koffy.
.
I have been sulking today because my blood sugars this morning were 4.1 and I couldn’t kick start my steam driven sliderule into action, I had to resort to 7 figure log tables then aunty log tables, tea bag reading and not only but also a good old guesstimate to establish my insulin dosage.
.
Reading through some of the post a few of us are in kneed of hugs, hugs being sent. This afternoon I joined our illustrious band of painters, I Doug the dulex tin out and painted our house number on the recycling bins ready fore national bin day. Very satisfying.
I shall wish you all a pleasant evening and go and read Fahrenheit 451 where all dictionaries have bean burnt.
This next bit will test your knowledge of red top newspapers.
Alf BA Calcutta ( failed ).
 
We had a lovely little holiday but it is so very nice to be back home. When we walked through our front door Poppy got so excited to be back home she started bouncing around like a baby lamb. Archie curled up on his day bed in the conservatory and hasn't moved since we got in.

Good news on the cyst removal ...
And the resilience of small children, thank God.

Bless her.
