[Will]

Good morning, all. Nothing much to report.

[Patti (baconater)]

Got back to sleep and he didn't wake me this time.

Looks like it's going to be a dry day. I hope I've not jinxed it.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Morning all, dry here. Boring admin day.

Hmm, that doesn't sound fair Patti

[Benjamin]

Morning all. I'm off to another office today to cover someone's sickness.

[Kath]

Cover it with what? Used to be sawdust before they invented all this sanitiser stuff...

Where was I? Oh! Good morning!

[Patti (baconater)]

*boke*

Thanks for that, Kath.

[M.T.]

Woot, quarter to eleven and I've tided out the cupboard in the utility room ready to treat the attack of woodworm it seems to be suffering from. Threw a ton of shite away, which always feels good!

[✿Claire✿]

I have heating again :)

[Kelly]

Glad you've got heating Claire - is the weather bad where you are?

Oh Kath, that image is in my mind.

Heading back to London tonight and home tomorrow. Hope the weather's okay at Heathrow and Gatwick.

After last meeting ends, in about an hour or so will see if I can sit in the sun for a bit before heading to the airport. (I said sun. Haven't used that word for a while.)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Glad you have heating Claire and that you've had a productive morning MT. Safe travels Kelly

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

One of my friends died very suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday afternoon. Can't take it in.
Not been a good year so far :(

[Alicia]

So sorry about your friend, Rosemary.

[Benjamin]

Oh no, Rosemary, that's awful. Really sorry to hear.

[Kath]

Aww, Rosemary. Big hug. That's horrible.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm sorry, Rosemary.

[Jim]

Sorry to hear it Rosemary.

[Patti (baconater)]

Box o wine Soave from tesco.
I don't recommend it.

Dave is feeling better. He ate dinner tonight.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

So sorry to hear that Rosemary.

I've decided to stop my antibiotics half way through the course, my toe is still painful and swollen so not worth the nausea and stomach cramps. Looks like I'll be back at the doc on Thu

[Kelly]

So sorry to hear that Rosemary. Very shocking when it is sudden.

Desley, you've had a terrible time of it. Really hope they can get it fixed.

Stuck in Athens overnight. BA put me onto an Aegean flight tomorrow so I have a chance of getting a connecting flight back to Jersey. Anyone flown with them before?

[Patti (baconater)]

Aegean are alright. I've flown on worse.

[Kelly]

Patti (baconater) wrote: "Aegean are alright. I've flown on worse."
Thanks Patti. Initially BA tried to rebook me onto the 18.40 from Athens tomorrow night, which would have meant I'd get back to Jersey on Thursday.

Eventually they agreed to get me on the Aegean flight and I'm so grateful they did. At least I have a good chance of getting home tomorrow.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Good luck Kelly

[Lynne (Tigger's Mum)]

Our new boiler is half in. It’s very neat sontomorrow it’s the electrician and more holes in the wall for the condenser pipe. Thy might finish tomorrow nigh. We re warm though as he’s lit the log burner and a fire in the dining room. It’s so been lovely and sunny today. Desley, you be careful, that foot doesn’t sound right at all. Do you get air miles Kelly? I’m sorry for your friend Rosie, must have been nasty shock for you.

[Patti (baconater)]

Good morning!

I do enjoy the lack of traffic noise in our flat here. Don't realise just how bad it is in Baku until you get away from it.
Now, if Dave would just stop coughing...

I'm hoping he's fit to leave the flat today.

[Will]

Sorry to hear about your friend, Rosemary. Virtual hugs.

Good morning from the early shift.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Morning all, feel a bit drained. Got a meeting at 10, covering our switch at lunch then got a One to One at 2, which I'm dreading - we are setting SMART targets this year.

[Elizabeth]

Morning everyone.

Hopefully the year will only get better for you, Rosemary.

I did a quick shop yesterday evening, to find that Asda have put their 6 packs of Walkers crisps up from £1 a pack to £1.65!!! A swift detour into B & M came up with the goods where they're currently still £1.

Hope this pm is positive, Desley, and your foot problem gets resolved soon. Sounds miserable.

[G J (Gaff to my friends)]

Morning all. Freezing cold in the valley, but it's bright at least. Easter holidays are fast approaching and it'll soon be time for another bunch to head out into the big, wide world of work. Let's hope it gives me some peace and quiet to do some writing, eh!

[Benjamin]

Morning all. Another cold start here as well, but at least it's staying dry.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Best wishes to all who need them.

Sat waiting for the garage man to collect mum's car to take it for an MOT.

I've brought some work home so once the car has gone I'll get on with that. Mum is knitting or at least thinking about it. Her hand is really bruised from the scan she had last week. The chemo on the following day also used the same hand as they couldn't find a vein in the other.

If this thread hasn't been deleted Patti might find it interesting.

[Lynne (Tigger's Mum)]

Good morning, nice nd bright here. The west wind has come back so it might warm up a bit Gaff. It’s coming your way.
The amount of dust in my house is amazing, but seeing as the gas man is drilling into the walls I’m justified in just looking at it till he’s finished. I’ll only have to do it again tonight. Despite my darling’s fear we didn’t freeze overnight without heating. That man is a gold medal worrier.

[Alicia]

Up too early, and can't get back to sleep. Annoying when you don't have to get up.

Think I'm feeling the barometric change - we're on a winter storm watch for the 3rd? 4th? time this month - and they say we're to get 6-10". The husband marched the snowblower off to a friend's house yesterday because it was non-functional, and brought it back working. That's a relief - at 70, I don't want him moving a lot of snow by hand.

It is funny to be sitting here at 7 am our time, eating a leftover chicken sandwich and thinking about the million things that have to be done before I move to a place with no snow in the winter. Forever.

Husband brought the daffodils in - they'd just get buried. It's spring, darn it.

He's hoping for the end of an era.

[Alicia]

Eras never end; they multiply.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Well, I decided not to go to the 10am meeting, glad as it didn't finish till 11.40!! Have messed up though, pressed the wrong button on my phone and managed to subscribe to another free month of kindle unlimited, but the other day I was offered 3 months for £1.99, was going to wait till the day before the offer ended to do it, as I'm 20% the way through a book. Now don't know what to do!!

[Jim]

At least my blog has a really cute photo to cheer people up :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Awwwwwww

[Kath]

Been arch making all morning. By heck, my back aches! More to do tomorrow. Wedding's on Friday.

I hope there's going to be a photo :-)

There's the next sign of spring.

[Kath]

I'll try to remember my camera! We've got one on 23rd December - so wedding doesn't mean spring necessarily...

[✿Claire✿]

Evening. Been on the first day of a decontamination course today. Really interesting and yet very disturbing what our species is capable of doing to each other. Learning about hazmat suits tomorrow and then a test.
Going to do some baking tonight, trying to decide exactly what I want to make!!

[Patti (baconater)]

My younger brother got married on Dec 23rd many years ago. Was quite lovely. In a huge glass greenhouse covered with snow with candles floating in the meandering river that flowed through it.
My sisnlaw wore white velvet.

I wore a down filled coat.

Very. Although I've been booked on a while, the last few weeks were part of the discussion!

That sounded fabulously romantic until we got to the down-filled coat (although it was funny!)

[Patti (baconater)]

Good morning!

One of my good friends is in Georgia for a few days to celebrate Novrus. She's enjoying it very much, loving Tblisi, looking forward to a wine tour today, but...

The expensive boutique hotel she's staying in sounds like Faulty Towers.
She had to change rooms yesterday because of noise and bad a/c.
She's flooded the room having a shower this morning.

Puts such a damper on a hard earned holiday.

I'm looking forward to her review.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Morning all, dry again. Back to the doc this morning, I think my toe may be slightly less swollen

That wedding sounds lovely Patti. Do hope your friends holiday improves

[Michael]

Job interview today!

Got a new suit, shirt, socks, and shoes.

I've had a proper shave, trimmed the nostril hairs, ear hairs, and a waylay eyebrow.

I feel like The Cat from Red Dwarf.
