Thank you @ianpspurs
Thank you @ianpspursMorning all, how you 'doin? A pleasant start here in L.A. weather wise and highs of 27 in store for two days so the standard kit - cargo shorts with a good back pocket and good zips are essential for a gent of a certain age - and absolutely no socks. Pool slides are for the young IMHO. @Annb I gave a winner as I'm so pleased that you feel better today - long may it continue. @Krystyna23040 good news on the lower fbgs lately, all the upgrades and a more leisurely day. Could you send the tech folk round to upgrade a few of us please? @dunelm have a wonderful time with TGIB. Amazing how something as mundane as toast and butter can bring joy. MIL never fails to say that was lovely for hers each morning. Thanks for sharing the art again and well done on retaining all your digits. @alf_Josiah I hope normal for Tilehurst service is resumed ASAP. @gennepher I hope you have enough energy to fully enjoy the precious time with your daughter. Thank you for sharing that wonderful kaleidoscope. My parents grew Hebes so I had an idea what they are. I see crab and beetle like insects but I'm mad as a box of frogs. Cricket and tennis to watch, mild weather, keto bagels and salmon salad day - what's not to give thanks to God for? Enjoy your own simple pleasures as much as lies within your power.
A hug for all the pain and frustration. but it was a toss-up between that and a winner for coming through it all in good humour.Good morning all and a change in weather in the windy west!
7.4 yesterday 6.8 this morning, so still a bit of a rollercoaster.
Yesterday, was a bit of a bad day.
She, who must be looked after wanted to go to town, this was very early, I had a look on many, many websites, for this little something that I eventually cornered, and ordered. But still wanted a trip out. So shopping trolley, we got the bus. Getting off the bus, and stopping at a retaler of foot things, she couldn't sort her purse, bus pass and had no cash to pay, so to save face and help, I paid. As we proceeded, the question was, have you left your bus pass/purse been left on the bus?
'I don't know!'
So at this other retail emporium, much similar to a pavilion we searched high and low for her things! I always thought that pavilion was Indian, and every changing room in cricket is referred as a pavilion. The Chinese never got cricket! It's amusing that the latest cricket country to play in the world cup qualifiers, is the USA!!!!
Anyway, we had to go back and find her losings! But I got distracted and in a moment, my dearest had disappeared, gone.
Just as I was heading into panic mode, she snuck back up on me, and frightened me something Friday night, fright night! Not there! But where?
We sat on a bench just as the big raindrops started falling, no coats, and I heard curses from alongside me. I insisted on moving at a leisurely pace, then a remembering of a sneaky pocket in the shopping trolley. They were there all along!
I must add that I was doing well, to hold my frustrations!
No I wasn't! I was blowing steam!
I calmed down a little, due to relief in discovery and a smell coming down the pavement.
Not what your dirty minds are going! It was a shop selling roasted pigs! Of course, I have always hungered after a good ham shank, so of couse, the trolley was lumbered with my dinner, and subsequent meals! My mouth is watering now!
A couple more errands and, apologies from both of us, for tolerance under pressure, from misrememberitis! (Great word, just made it up) It was time to venture home for my wife and to honour my appointment with the physiotherapy assessment. It was touch and go whether the bus could get me there on time. If there is something I despise it is being tardy. My anxiety is ruthless if I'm running a tad shoddy timewise! But no bother, the physio, was behind with his appointment times.
Twenty minutes later, I was in agony! After having my Interpretation of some stretching, balancing, getting on and off bed, pointing my toes, my walking gait was quite humorous and stilted. However, it was done for good purpose and a referral for more physicality, investigation and treatment was advised and head nodding with enthusiasm when he inspired my insistence on doing specialised body movements or yoga!
I got the first bus possible, but as soon to every outcome this day, it was late, and the subsequent linking this route to our house, which should arrive a couple of minutes later, had decided to be early! And it had started with the big raindrops again (No coat!) It was already dropping in temperature to nearly really quite cold!
No shelter from wind and rain! A couple of birthdays ago, I would have just walked! So frustrating!
Bus was late, and what should have been a twenty minute journey home, was close to an hour!
My beloved had decided to nap, I made tea, then fell into the couch! I couldn't move until the pain had eased.
I had hunger, anger, and I couldn't find anything from the shops. I didn't want to disturb the dreamer. So I took it upon myself to search high and low, for my food. I nearly had to settle for something else, but as I proceeded into the kitchen, the heat searing my palm gave me a clue to the whereabouts of my feast.
My granddaughter came round after tea and put a smile on my face! Went to bed early!
My beloved is resting this morning and I'm enjoying the sun in my garden. Listening to the frailty of our
batting at Headingly. Daughter is much better and applying for jobs. So that is a big relief!
I should go the local grocer for fresh stuff, but my hamstrings are tight and I'm still not walking well! Done a few exercising, but not too strenuous, or very much at all,
Have a lovely day while the sun is out!
Stay safe!
Glad your brother is home, even if the recovery period will be longer than you thought. Enjoy your harvest - better for you to have it than the pests.07.07

Ok lemon tea it is.
Outside until MrSlim arrived with coffee
Opened the brassica cage and pulled everything up. Snails and flea beetles are munching away, so it's best to harvest what is available now, otherwise it may well be inedible in a couple of weeks. Cauliflower cheese tonight. Now I have space to plant something else.
My brother is back home now, although somehow the recovery period has extended. Now five to eight weeks. Obviously I was wrong about it being only three.
That is my task tomorrow, lawn has gone into overdrive, about an inch plus per day! Don't want it to go to seed. Flower beds, with the heat and humidity is in bloom, quite pleased with this year's attempt! Especially my Orange (and lots of other beautiful colours ) Lilys.Alan from church has just come and cut all my grass. He is a fit man at 75 and uses his strength to help others. I couldn't walk round the garden at that speed let alone cut the grass.
Liking that word .couple more errands and, apologies from both of us, for tolerance under pressure, from misrememberitis!
Love this with the added yellow @dunelmGood morning everyone from a deliciously warm and quiet start here in the dark and dangerous north. A 5.2 this am and celebrated by getting the washing out on the line by 7am. Successful walk into town and back yesterday. Farmers market today so another walk into town in the sunshine. We can always catch a bus back if needed but hopefully not. Shed getting a new coat of paint this afternoon - just the front, you can’t see the other sides as the shed sits in the corner behind the garage and the boundary fences. Some shade of green I have been informed. Art bit - colour added. Hope your day is kind to you and you find time to smile and perhaps laugh at loud (we shall be doing that whilst pointing at some of the price tags at the market). Koffy is ready.

Thank you @gennepherLove this with the added yellow @dunelm
Thanks @ianpspursGood morning all, how you 'doin? Pleasantly summery here in the L.A. dustbowl but some thunderbolt and (maybe even) lightning very, very, frightening rumoured for later. @dunelm thank you for sharing the art. As always the final touches transform the piece majestically. Enjoy the farmers market, prices and all. If the goods are genuinely artisanal or high welfare I expect prices to reflect that knowing the costs and skill involved. If we Brits don't ween ourselves off the spray it mercilessly or pop pills in it then pile it high and sell it cheap mentality we'll continue eating horse meat, dodgy chicken and a cocktail of chemicals in our food. Although I do think a £25+ chicken may be over charging and the rule for labelling grass fed is a sham.. @gennepher shame about those badgers and Monty becoming podgy. Thanks for the stunning creative which had me remembering these . @Annb hug for the pain and early rising. This week has been a tough old gig for you. I hope at some stage you will be able to doze off. My day will be influenced by events dear boy, events at Headingley where England CC may hopefully have never had it so good. In hindsight Supermac looks like a Titan. Do have great day everyone - make your own kind of music Lyrics
I have a 32" monitor on my pc , which was given to me from my son who upgraded!6.1 this morning. New computer installed. Windows 11 and new anti virus installed on both computers. Love the new widescreen monitors.
Took the engineer several hours to sort it. Because we have so much stuff on the computers it took ages to do the back ups and updates.
Everything worked perfectly yesterday but today Mailwasher on Mr Ks computer wouldn't log in. I wasted half an hour trying to sort it. Now must dash to Norwich classes.
I wish I could get down to that level again, even if it is a rogue reading!I don't know 7.8 yesterday and 5.6 this morning got to be some sense to it though can't see it personally.
