Re: November but sunny
Did some stuff, went to quiz night. We won. Had to hoick our relief Question master out of her nest but we were down to 4 members so had little choice. The pressure is off for now, but I have a couple of big tasks to complete and am procrastinating unhelpfully. As for poachers and gamekeepers, somet...

November but sunny
Well it is at the moment. We had a lot of rain during the night but it's stopped for now. I've been a bit fragile after my Pfizer booster on Saturday, but I've just had a couple of crumpets with honey, and I'm almost back to normal. It seemed like such a waste to get rid of the security vehicles and...

Re: Oh not another new month
After yesterday's booster vaccination, I tried to change the bedding today. I managed to strip the bed and change bolster and pillowcases but ran out of steam. I'll finish it off after a coffee and mahjongg session. I'm glad you sorted out the bank. I have a spare bank account with nothing in it, bu...

Re: Oh not another new month
I'm feeling feak and weeble. I went to the hairdresser and had my ears lowered. That was what I said to him, then a smart exchange of jokes ensued. The customer who had tried to cut her own hair and the hairdresser who said " It looks as though you used a knife and fork" So I told him of t...

Re: Oh not another new month
Sounds as if you are making some progress. Peabody are helping big time. Didn't they deduct the tax before paying it? Something moving re the flooding and windows, thank goodness. It will be lovely when it's finished. As long as George is still eating, he's still got the will to live. If PALS don't ...

Re: Oh not another new month
The mills of God grind slow but they grind small. I'm sure Peabody will get you the help you need. I'm sorry that Ginger George is not so well. Let's hope the right food keeps him going awhile longer. He's been persistent up to now so I expect he'll hang on as long as he can. As long as he thinks he...

Re: Oh not another new month
I have been to the Club for a quiz, which we lost even though we had a very useful new team member. The questions didn't go our way. One was repeated in a later round with a different answer the second time round. Fasting again I couldn't be bothered so had a few crisps then cheese and 4 biscuits wh...

Re: Oh not another new month
I'm quite sure they were distraught about the child. If Peabody can help you, let them put down good memories of them, but if the chance arises, share the story with them. I hope it goes well. I had a busy day yesterday. Fasting as part of the diet, I had my gardener here to plant anemones, and thin...

Re: Oh not another new month
Joan Sims, seemed like a sweet natured person to me. Press ups, overrated in my view, also sit-ups. At the High impact classes at the gym, I couldn't do them so I just use to lean back then sit up from there. A few weeks later the word came down from Head office, that sit-ups were bad for you becaus...

Re: Oh not another new month
Hello, I've been a bit busy with the Magazine. I seem to be wearing so many hats that I was a bit overwhelmed. I had promised to arrange a literary lunch, which I now have done making a couple of new friends in the process. Another Quiz League match tomorrow, Gardener also tomorrow afternoon. I don'...

Re: Oh not another new month
Sue them for negligence. Then they can sue each other. In the meantime, if you discharge the gutter into a water butt with a tap there'll be nothing to leak into the drain. Neighbours can water their gardens from the butt. It's the Water Authority's responsibility for surface water drainage. They ch...

Re: Oh not another new month
After a very bust September I have another busy month ahead. So I'm taking the opportunity to relax. I wasn't particularly late last night but I've bee sleeping most of the morning, with a few pages of my book in between. Maybe it is hibernation. I've got some tasks to perform in the next few days t...

Re: Oh not another new month
I was in the middle of a post and you opened this new thread. Not sneaky at all, I've been side tracked so many times.
Re: September
I'm glad your vaccination went well. The traffic and transport in your area seems to be broken. I hope they mend it soon. My RHI payments arrived last week at last, so now I need to order some shoes. I got home and found my tiny keypad for validating my banking choices had vanished. I phoned and ask...
Re: September
I've been away for a few days. I had lots of petrol, nearly enough to get there and back, but got some more to be sure. determined not to fill the tank because it's been cutting out if I fill it. Now I'm back, I still have enough for another week of local journeys. My mobile went off in the orchestr...
Re: September
Well you're back from hospital now. I was favourably impressed by the skills of local handymen, repairing wood, plastic bits and extracting my old washing machine and plumbing it in. All for £10 per hour, though I offered more. I hope you win soon over your missing pension. I had another go at Ofgem...
Re: September
Hope it all goes well for you. It was very warm in Great Torrington, Devon. 28 degrees at one point. I wasn't too aware of being any more uncomfortable in the sun than in the shade, but apparently I looked ill. The First Aid team at the gardens were straining at the leash, but all I needed was cold ...
Re: September
I had a day out today with the Gardening Club at RHS Garden Rosemoor. 4070 steps on my step counter, and shocked a few people by sitting in the sun and looking a bit poorly. A couple of glasses of water in a shady place restored the balance, but I got lots of sympathy. I wasn't driving so I had to w...
Re: September
So now they are going to make you wait until March? The only reason they weren't paying it was they thought you were no longer alive. You've proved you are and they Still haven't done anything. I'm gearing up after a lazy week to go to church tonight, Rosemoor on Tuesday, Lay worship training on Wed...
