Night xx

You must go to the beach planets! The sea is THERAPY. Well, away from the bingo halls and amusement arcades it is. I have many isolated stretches of beach nearby where you can just sit and watch the waves roll in, roll out......and you can find hagstones and other interesting flotsam and jetsam on the shore. Make sure you go this summer

I will try!!! It was only chatting with tk i realised i hadn't been since before my op! It's quite a hike away so i'm not quite ready to be upright lng enough to there and back!
But i LOVE a bit of beach combing!! There's a beach north of WHitby which is all purple pebbles!! If you go to the beaches south of Whitby after a storm you can collect jet !!

we were promised heat today and it's just cold grey and rainy again

Ooooh you are near Dracula country, how fabulous. The jet and purple stones sound fab, I would love to beachcomb there! Maybe in another month you'd be up for the trip. Luckily for me beaches are about 20 mins drive and I have quite a few to choose from on the North Kent coast.

i'm right in the middle so it's about an hour and a half to the nearest bit of coast.

just checked the temperature it's 11c here

19 here although it feels about 11 indoors I'm off to wash the car which will warm me up

planets waits for Twass's return

should I get the fan heater out

Car now clean, although why I bother I don't know, insects were busy pooing all over the car as I was cleaning it [and on me] plus the first tractor to go past will unleash a layer of muck and grime over it. Still, it's cleaner than it was

Hello all, 22 here now but it has clouded over, 8 am it felt like Crete!

Finally got my hair cut (my hairdresser retired 3months ago and never got round to finding a new one). Well I'm delighted and feeling 10 years younger. Celebrated by buying strawberries and cream, leaving large portions in the Chin proof safe

Ooh, strawberries and cream, yes please.....am ready for the 40th party I'm off to in a posh frock. I hope I don't drop cream down it Lovely hairdo tk. Mine is nearly waist length, must get it chopped

Oh have a lovely party twass, you need your hair long for the Viking plaits. Mine had got to the stage that when I passed a mirror all I could see was my grandma

Oh dear *passes hot water bottle and wraps planets in snuggly blanket*

I've had a fabulous bop and cheese and pineapple on sticks, been blowing bubbles and singing along to the cheesy old pop songs!! I shall drag my poor old carcass to bed shortly. Much fun was had and the birthday girl was having a ball Draughty old village hall had been transformed with dozens of helium balloons and banners, bunting and all sorts.

Sounds fab, my kind of do. Reminds me of a camping weekend years ago, when we wandered along cliffs looking for a pub, and folowed lights . Showed up at a private bash and were welcomed in, it was a wedding reception. Happy memories

How kind of them! Still, it's the more the merrier at these sorts of do's. THe little kids were nicking the cupcakes, having one bite of the icing then hiding them under the table

It was very kind of them, and we remember them some 35 years later! Nite all x

Afternoon all ladles and jellyspoons Finally lovely summery weather has arrived down south. I have spent most of the day toiling in the garden, just had a much needed bath, scrubbed the mud off my feet, and now relaxing in clean scruffies in case I get my second wind and can do a bit more later!

*puts Victoria sponge into chinproof safe* Help yourselves! EXCEPT FOR CHIN

*helps self to slice of victoria sponge*
i'm very proud i made it through the whole of the french open (and Djokovic winning) without getting a ban

*goes to get drunk in garden*

Oh well done planets, how very restrained of you Half a thimble full of prosecco should sort you out a treat

Another scorcher here today, planted up lavender, geraniums and lobelia,. Now out for a bite to eat, will pop back for cake later.

Thank you it was a tough tournament for me but i drew on my emotional reserves and powered through to make it through the final.

*adjusts web cam* you can see me *chinks thimble*

*chinks Pimms glass*......well, I wish. Not got any Mind you don't topple over into the flower borders! You're looking a tad woozy

Lavender and geraniums were amongst the things I planted too! The lobelia was done a while back. THe bunnies tend to leave them alone, so in they go every year! Enjoy your bite
