Love the tree and shading @dunelmGood morning everyone on an all things bright and beautiful start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.7 this a.m. and already washing is on the line, the twins have breakfasted and are now dressed and busy arguing about whose apple is the juiciest. Food festival yesterday should have been renamed “who can park a car like a ****”. Events and beauty spots nowadays seem to be like attractive crops for plagues of locusts. Anyhow, £9 for a hot dog - look away kids! Most things on offer either big sticky buns or something shoved into a massive lump of carbs. Ice creams down on the beach - more again today. The grandchildren want to go down through the woods this morning - excellent - then onto the lower prom - buckets and spades in hand. Best make a picnic. I think that grandma is taking them into the big town for new sandals later today - very exciting. Art bit - a brace of tree. Enjoy your day if you can in spite of any distress. I shall make koffy and get on with the picnic making.
Hope you also have a lovely day with your grandchildren @ianpspursMorning all from what promises to be a sunny day here in L.A.. I know not my fbg since I doubt the steroid and antibiotic fuelled level would help me in managing The D going forward one jot or tittle. @Annb hug for the leg issue: busy day organised in your head - have a Jess Glynne song. @Krystyna23040 I hope you and Mr K have a wonderful time with your daughter and grandchildren. @dunelm enjoy the joy, wonder and hope those girls will bring: yes, there will be a trade off in tiredness - blame Adam and Eve's bad choices. @gennepher thoughts and prayers with you in this warm/hot spell. Steroids reliably woke me at 4.12 am so that I could organise P world ready for JKP to go collect two amazing, life affirming grandchildren from Cambs by 7.00 am. The D and Elsie Keto suck: not as much as BP and the Big C but God has a way of cutting through life’s bucket of carp and just now those two children will do nicely thank you. Enjoy Monday if at all possible. Now excuse me as I must vacuum (whose idea was it to have two dogs JKP?), hopefully without waking MIL.
Extra hugs for you @lindisfelI was hoping my scan was a clear indication I have not got Lewi body. Its not definitive
however, I am going to have to admit it now looks like learning new stuff is a problem.
How long we will manage without family help up here is difficult to guess.
Thank you, gennenpher, your a great exemplar for us all.Extra hugs for you @lindisfel
I am a great believer in believing the best can happen. I would not have got this far In life otherwise, with my problems.
I do worry about the future being on my own, but it doesn't help worrying.
Live every day as best you can.
Find joy in every minute you can.
Take care Derek
It's a bitter pill to swallow but, if you can, try to stay optimistic. Worrying doesn't help anything but planning might. Worth trying to future proof things, if that is possible, but try not to let potential problems get in the way of the here and now. We didn't know about Lewey bodies until very late in the day and it came as a shock when we were told that Tom was suffering from it so we didn't make provision until it was very late and then it was rushed. We got by though but did have help, especially from Neil.I was hoping my scan was a clear indication I have not got Lewi body. Its not definitive

Am growing two types of French bean this year. The ordinary Haricot Vert and for the first time also growing Haricot Buerre. Very different from the English Butter Bean.Broad beans - such a faff for so little reward - French beans - blanch a bit, drain, bit of olive oil, grated parmesan and into the salad.
Thank you Ann. All of the prayers from friends are precious.It's a bitter pill to swallow but, if you can, try to stay optimistic. Worrying doesn't help anything but planning might.

Thinking of you frequently and praying for your health to stabilise at least.
Thank you Ian, you have much in the way of Christian encouragement.@gennepher and @dunelm thank you both for sharing your creative talents. @JohnEGreen hug for the issues with your transit system. @lindisfel thoughts and prayers with you as always. Perhaps my signature may be of use in working through God's way forward for you and Marjorie. I seem to have been blessed with the time to share with my boys and get my "ducks in a row" for JKP many aren't so blessed. You also have some time and a similarly loving family. God bless you both now and always.

Smashing beans which look as though you might graze on them. Is Mr Slim getting enough sleep with those painful ribs.Am growing two types of French bean this year. The ordinary Haricot Vert and for the first time also growing Haricot Buerre. Very different from the English Butter Bean.

Yes, they really are that yellow.
MrSlim is still in a lot of pain so nearly all preparations for the viewing tomorrow morning have been added to my job list
Naughty badgers but the drive for food will be strong. Well that is different - wonderful illustration worthy of any book - probably of poetry for the younger reader.Fbg 7.1
Nighttime wildlife video
Badger (is he missing the cats?)....and then chewing (?) up my mats...
This is Pa Badger, from last year, who is doing the extreme stretching in the beginning of the video.
He always tended to do this kind of stretch...but this is the most extreme I have seen him doing it...
47secs
Badgers were having a party last night, and destroyed one of my smaller sun colourful beach parasols protecting my vegetable gardens from the sun. I cannot take them down each evening, it is just too much for me.
I hadn't quite finished my protection with plastic covered wire fencing to make a cover for the second wormery. I was too tired in the very warm day yesterday, and so I left it until today.
Alas the badgers made their one last foray into that second wormery (the size of a large black dustbin), and ate a third of the worms...a few thousand worms?
I get the ground is hard, no proper rain for some time, and so they are in destructive mode trying to find food.
Anyway I'll finish it off in a minute before the day gets too hot.
Creative...ink blots...what to do today, since my last brain cell is on strike...er...a something or other for absolutely no reason at all...
Sun is out.
Clear blue skies.
Have your best day.

I might think to prepare for the worst outcome and enjoy each and every day, one day at a time. Photographs and notes, a diary perhaps. Life is wonderful, tell yourself about it.I was hoping my scan was a clear indication I have not got Lewi body. Its not definitive
however, I am going to have to admit it now looks like learning new stuff is a problem.

Thank you @gennepher - the day is playing out very well.Love the tree and shading @dunelm
Have a great day...
