I don't feed the birds much at this time of year as there are so many insects and now fruits etc available for them. I still chuck out the crumbs from the breadboard and the occasional crust but mostly leave them to Nature's bounty in the summer months! But I do make sure there is water for them and for butterflies and bees.

OOH LOOK my Viking loving comrades! Neil Gaiman [one of my fave authors] has a new book coming soon........

Eek so sorry Twass I literally fell asleep whilst replying to you

Tired out travelling.

Our museum has an exhibition on Vikings in the area, have to get to see that.

Think p likes NG.

I'll take a bet she loves American Gods....they're making a film of it currently

I hope you've caught up on lots of shuteye now tk......I was sleep deprived for a few nights after I pranged my back in the garden but luckily now it is sorted enough to allow my normal 8 hours of lovely kip!

Hiya twass, posted last night and it didn't show, so gave up. Hope your back is more comfortable, my sleeping is a bit crazy. Can be very relaxed and cosy, and sleep fairy doesn't call.

So Boris has got cold feet ???

He got shafted by Gove!! Got his just deserts....but Gove is just as bad.

The invisiposts on DS are driving everyone mad! So much isn't showing. I type "invisipost" at the end of threads as that then shows me the last post....then I edit the invisipost and type my reply!

Luckily the back injury is on the wane...I am off on an overnight gallivant tomorrow...and then my son will mow the lawn on Sunday

*Lurks invisibly*

Ooh my UK teacher rellies REALLY don't like him. And they are nice, reasonable people.

Haha you and p were taking the pee out of me not knowing how to refresh a few weeks ago. I tell you, ds powers that be use this as an experimental lab!

Lucky you off on another gallivant

Go on, I'm feeling generous. Lemon curd filled mini muffins.

I apologise unreservedly having experienced the ghost post phenomenon today
It's been a right old week.
how is everyone?
why is chins lurking by the thread entrance dressed in bandages?

ooo they look nice

Yoo hoo planets Chins is a right weirdo, that's why.....

Cor, lemon curd! We'd better scoff a few before chins gets ideas of snaffling the lot

wotcha Twass! Glad i caught you before your soon to be gallivant!

It's just a short one this time.....hope you are well and thriving and your gums are behaving themselves!

You ok planets? Enjoy some lovely muffins

gums are finally healing!! bloods are terrible got results and immediately got put in hospital
they did bugger all and i'm back home again but i missed the first few days of wimbledon

*nibbles on lemony muffin*

don't mind if i do i love lemon curd!!! it's so delicious!

Oh no How can they sort your bloods out then? If they did nowt while you were in there, why on earth did they confiscate your freedom?

At least your mouth is sorting itself at last though!

*Grabs muffins and scarpers*

Oh heck. Lovely niece, new mum, is having terrible problems with gall stones, has to have gall bladder removed but her enzyme blood tests are ruling it out. Hope yours improve x

Massively high esr and crp (inflammation markers) which they thought meant my colon had fallen apart again
turns out all the fasting i've had to do over the past couple of years where i have frequent 10 day periods of no food has caused a massive spike in my uric acid and they were worried i was going to go into kidney failure.
have been put on some tablets as i've got super arthritis hoorah!

thanks tk x
poor new mum there were/are peeps in the ward having gall bladders out they were sent home the day after
we shall see *fingers crossed* i'm concerned about the side effect of the tablets.....my hair's already fallen out 3 times i don't think it will grow back if it falls out again

is that the one with my enema medication in?

I hope your niece gets the treatment she needs soon, tk. I have a pal having her gall bladder out next Tuesday after a wait of well over a year.

Super arthritis?? Is that what Captain America will get when he's old?

Well i already have arthritis in waves from the weird Henoch Schonlein's i have...now i have other types too!!! it's all so exciting!!!

I hope i get better super powers than just inflamed joints
i'd like flying and super strength
