Hope the chemo goes well today. I agree that we are lucky we live in an age where it available.Hello everyone from another, externally, bone dry start here but rain is forecast for tomorrow, albeit light showers. Warmth replaced by humidity. Heavy tea consumption is forecast internally. Thanks for the new steps @dunelm and the kaleidoscope @gennepher. Glad you have a wider range of birds now. @Krystyna23040 great fbg and I do hope Tesco have doggy ice cream. @alf_Josiah I hope September provides tip top outcomes. There are various routes to meet our maker, some of which are best not pondered upon. I found out recently that my 85 year old aunt is in a care home with dementia but needs to be kept "secure" as physically she is incredibly robust. 9 year old shot dead in her own home. Chemo 1 for me today, not a process I ever wanted but thank God I live in an age where it is available and a country where it is free at the point of delivery - for now. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get as a great philosopher's Momma once said. Do ensure your stays are secure but not over restrictive.
Thanks @Krystyna23040. Shame there was no doggy ice cream. Some boxes of chocolates are like that, all soft centres and even those not caramel.Hope the chemo goes well today. I agree that we are lucky we live in an age where it available.
No doggy ice cream in Tesco. Never mind - we still have one left they can share and hopefully this will be the last really hot day this year.

Glad your keyboard is now behaving AlfGood Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who enjoy a slow quiet start to the day.
.
This mornings meter reading was a 5.2 and a negative covid test result.
.
As reported yesterday the covers came off my keyboard and a good inspection plus clean, I’m pleased to say that the errant C key is now behaving itself.
.
Our NHS service gets a fair bit of bad press, but yesterday I received 1long phone call and 3 emails all wanting a consultation with me, me’s and myself, ah the joys of being of interest to them, September is going to be busy medically. At least 5 tests etc.
.
Well fellow posters and painters and I hope you all are well, the morning moves on and things have to be done, so I shall do them.
Stay safe and remember the days of continuous rain fondly.
Robin now owns your garden @dunelmgood morning everyone from the deliciousness of drizzle here in the dark and dangerous north. That Robin is wandering about in the garden - definately a boy as he is strutting about, showing off. Mrs Miggins is off to her sisters house today to help with decorating. I have been given the task of emptying the sideboard with instructions about how not to break stuff. A temporary emptying as the sideboard is being moved to make room for another sideboard - I don’t get involved in the mysterious workings of furniture - just glad of a comfy bed and the fact that all furniture seems to cooperate with static equilibrium and so far at all temperatures. Girl in the bubble is staying over tonight so Mrs Miggins will have to get up early tomorrow in order to take here to nursery. Art bit - the start of more steps. Have a wonderful day of you can and I hope your garden is getting some moisture. Koffy is now on the go.

I hope that yesterday went well for you and that any adverse effects can be covered by mugs of tea. My Sister reported that her first round of chemo made her quite ill the next day but this round of a different kind seems a lot kinder to her.Hello everyone from another, externally, bone dry start here but rain is forecast for tomorrow, albeit light showers.

Nasty but I think it is a good job that they were able to do something for her. Let us hope that they will be able to quickly progress with getting her better.Hello friends
Fbg yesterday was 5.5 and today 5.9
Went over to visit a friend at home today as she had emergency bowel surgery due to a horrible infection a few weeks ago, and they have put in a temporary stoma bag. She's doing OK but it all happened so quickly poor thing. It's scary how things can suddenly change in your life
Anyway, hope everyone had a wonderful day. Stay safe xx
Good job about those huge underground water pipes being built years ago.Good morning everyone on what looks to be a bit cooler than the tropical mugginess of yesterday here in the dark and dangerous north. It did rain last night so I do hope that every garden gets a fair share. We had Northumbrian Water visit yesterday to take samples out of our tap. Random houses in their catchment to test water quality. Should we be afraid or pleased? We are quite lucky up here. Our water comes mainly from Kielder Reservoir, delivered down huge underground pipes, originally to feed the now mainly defunct steel industry. Girl in the bubble when we collect her from nursery. That robin has certainly commandeered our garden @gennepher. Aren’t bit - adding a bit more to yesterdays post. Have a great day if you can, I am going to put the bins out and then make some koffy.

I sincerely wish all the best and wonder just how many miles would you be able to ride on a motorcycle after drinking all that tea, your bladder must be the size of an olympic swimming pool hehehe.Hello everyone from a soggy Breckland after a humdinger of a thunderstorm. Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening style of thing. Thanks for the good wishes for yesterday. Very hard to assess the after effects since the humidity and thunderstorm meant I had a poor night's sleep imho but fitbit thought otherwise. Major impact seems to be a huge thirst , currently on 4th 750 ml mug of tea, and slight hoarseness. Next time I'll take water and avail myself of the free tea. It is quite a long process but yesterday was painless. @dunelm those steps are progressing wonderfully. @gennepher yes, avoid people as far as possible today and thank you for another impressive kaleidoscope. Hug for the higher fbg @Krystyna23040 but 6 isn't a disaster and a little of what you fancy does you good so "they" say. Two grandchildren are here today but at some stage I may have a nap. Best wishes for any loved ones, relatives or children of friends collecting GCSE results today after so much disruption.
Thanks Alf. Actually only 1 mug more than usual by this time. I'll take that advice on board and swerve a HIIT session today. Busy day today what with it being national bin day AND national burger day.I sincerely wish all the best and wonder just how many miles would you be able to ride on a motorcycle after drinking all that tea, your bladder must be the size of an olympic swimming pool hehehe.
I was given some very good advice after my transplant by the doctor who wrote the book on transplants which me being me ignored and proved him right. Here is the advice.
The time to rest up and do nothing is when you feel like doing something, it enables the body to devote all it’s energy to recovering.
Recover well

Thanks @gennepher I always wonder where steps in the ruins of castles went to.Good job about those huge underground water pipes being built years ago.
Now all you need is the water to fill them...
Great Art bit. Where do those steps take you, I wonder @dunelm
To some mysterious room, no longer there...
