Our local hospital has banned smoking in the hospital and in the hospital grounds. I do feel sorry for the smokers one used to see, usually missing a limb or two, smoking in their wheelchairs outside the hospital doors.

The last time I was there I noticed an enormous photo frame, like Huuuuge, bearing photos of all the many administrators and their Mickey Mouse jobs, but not one indicating who a hapless patient could complain to.

You would think there ought to have been an even larger display bearing the photos of the consutants who worked there, with their qualifications and length of tenure, wouldn't you?


sorry Honey for slaughtering all your smilies!

I havent heard of the wag or the footballer, but I found this pic of Charlotte Crosby doing that underboob thing. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ltry-snap.html

Helen hasnt just done the prostitution thing, it all happened years ago. I dont know why it it is in the news again. "A lister" is stretching it, in my opinion. He had the most prominent male role in a longrunning BBC series about a giant house, and he has been a secondary actor in practically all of Hugh Grant's films so the Americans have probably never heard of him.
As for his glamorous wife and family. I have no idea who they are. (neither does he by the sound of it)

I think Helen was thrown out of home at an early age, so having a decent background was no help to her at all.

Hi Moots, so you painted the material, it will probably hold it's paint smell so animals may not like that.

Good Morning Everyone.:+))))))))))))))

Another warm day, no sun here though, 18C though.

A nice weekend expected.

Morning everyone.

Its quite bright here now. I expect the sun will hit you in a minute. I thought it was going to rain earlier and got the washing in for nothing.

I am off to town to meet my daughter off the train and have something to eat if we can fight through the crowds.

Good morning everyone.

Gorgeously sunny morning. I love it.

Greetings all on this rather fine day!

Hi Moots, it's lovely isn't it?

Been sitting outside, very warm and calm, cloudy though

Strrrrrange..... my poota threw a hissy fit when I mentioned the fine weather, and refused to play any more. Seems OK now, urk urk.

I wonder what will happen when I press Submit Reply?

"feels haunted*

I am NEVER going shopping again. All I wanted was a pair of Scholls. They are not in shops anymore.

Hello and good morning everyone.

Gorgeous sunshiney morning again. 16c at present and forecast to rise to 22c. Best of all there's the sweetest breeze. I hope we're all enjoying this weather.


Why not? It's a very popular brand. Just checked, Amazon has plenty.

Good Morning Everyone.:+)))))))))))))))

Another nice day here

20C but pretty cloudy.


Morning Eddy, hope you get your nice warm day, 22C is good, should be hotter tomorrow for a lot of places.

Yes, but You cant try then on at Amazon. Actually, Amazon and every other online shop i can find either lists just the English sizes , which is no use because they are often creatively translated from European, or they dont list the width fitting.
(The ACTUAL Scholl shop online is very peculiar. Their descriptions are inaccurate so i ruled them out)

All except for one place which has the European sizes (as printed on the shoe) and the width fitting, but only have the lurid Hawaiian print, so I have ordered those and will just pretend I am one of Black Lace.
I could easily slip in at the back... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POv-3yIPSWc

Good Afternoon Everyone.:+)))))))))))))))

Another lovely day here, 24C, that will do me nice thank you.

Will be in the garden all day, got plant feed to make for the trees etc.

Make it? That sounds a bit gruesome. Mine is made of manure but it came in a bottle.
we have been wrestling with a deck chair, and i think it is under submission now.

Hello and good afternoon.

26c here at present. Gorgeous endless sunshine with a light breeze. Love it.

I am glad to hear you finally got to sit in the sun, Eddy.

Thanks. It is a real treat.

Hi Honey, yes, a shovel full of concentrated manure into 30 litre of water, stir and leave 24 hours, ladle out and sieve, pour into 100 litre tank, keep making then water down, i have a hose real attached to the tank for feeding the trees, they all have a pipe for water and one for feed.

Hi Eddy, same here 24c in the shade, have to keep coming in the house, it's only 20C inside.

Good evening.

Anyone seen or heard from Mootle?

I havent, she hastnt posted for a couple of days now

I was beginning to get worried too, especially as she said she was going to do more to the carpets.
I do hope she hasnt injured her back or neck.

Thanks you 2.

Mootle and I both post on another small site where she did mention computer problems a couple of days ago. Not seen her since.

We can assume its computer problems then. At least until tomorrow.

She was having Puter problems 2 days ago, unless all those dogs have attacked her complaining about the carpet.
