i'm lucky cos i get this meteor shower every year on my birthday! so i always remember when it is!

lumpy neck is getting smaller i have a thingy (code) to book an appt with a consultant but see my gp on wednesday so thought i'd hang on and check to see if i could get away with not doing anything

the worry was my dad died of throat cancer, he woke up one morning with a lump in his neck then died shortly after i was a bit tense
i'm choosing to think everything is fine and it was just a random swollen gland.

In terms of bad luck I think you've had your share and most other folks share as well on top. Anything new wrong would just be outrageous!!!

Pink raspberry magnums were cheap in Lidl.....I got lots! Fancy one? *bungs lots in chinproof fridge/safe*

oooooo ice cream nice timing i've jut finished my stir fry perfect for dessert!!!

has it been windy down south? my tree blew over last night

It was very windy yesterday and last night, but today has been very still. Cor, those magnums are GAWJUS. THey only had a few left, I went snatchetty snatch snatch

Have you sneaked a bit of meat yet?

i'm going out for a pre birthday tester lunch tomorrow
i expect to be eating something deliciously meat based

my mum has rung up the fancy place we are going on Friday, the menu is different every day depending but my mum cunningly said i was after a steak so they said they'd make sure the chef had one for me

that's what i call service

i shall keep my eye out for theraspberry magnums they sound yummy haven't had one for years!

Oooh! Are we allowed to know when this birthday is??? How lovely...so you will eat a bit of meat tomorrow and see what gives, if all is well to hell with everything and a big juicy steak it is on Friday? With chips, onion rings, grilled tomatoes, peas and all the bells and whistles?

If your Lidl is anything like mine there won't be many left

Friday!! It's quite exciting this time last year i had to remain horizontal with my massive hole and dressings being changed twice a day and this year i will be wearing clothes and GOING OUT all very exciting

i might see if there's any left on wednesday when i go to the docs (it's a busy week!!)

finished Penny Dreadful series three isn't out till october.....viking isn't out yet.....

Inappropriately enough I now have this going through my head

Cor, properly GOING OUT! You could take your Louboutins in your handbag and slip them on at the table. Go on, you know you want to

You might get GOT on Friday then!

Hahahahahah i'd say that was most appropriate
i know it's exciting isn't it? No one will be stabbing me with needles or ANYTHING
I might very well do that Twass

i'm keeping my fingers crossed for GOT but my brother is notorious for saying something like that and then totally forgetting about it
i'll let you know AS SOON AS IT ARRIVES*

How's your foot today? Have you been naughty and doing too much and not resting?

*even if i have to buy it myself

I've mostly rested up, but also done more if that makes sense, as it's not been as bad.

Yes, get it yourself if he doesn't come up with the goods!!! Just had daughter on the phone, she may be coming down this weekend. But we can watch next week

Hello everyone, hope you're (as) ok as possible :
Magnesium oil arrived today, will let you know how it goes.
Hmm, birthday coming up, *digs out amazing orange cake recipe*

Hi tk!
hope it helps you
*drools at cake, organises decoy incase of intruders*

*adds bubbly to shopping list*
I'm so jealous, having a birthday in August. In January nobody can be arsed
The weather here is vile, high winds, heavy rain, cloud on the ground. Lamps on before 8 pm, certainly no chance of seeing meteor showers. If I wasn't off for my week of sunshine at the end of the month I would be raging.
Now start getting your bikinis ready, pack very light because I only have a cabin bag!

ooo lovely i do a glass of bubbly!
yes we have the same weather here tk
i have fingers crossed for clear skies n thursday night /friday morning as that is when they peak. I hobbled out last year and aw about 15 shooting stars in about 10 minutes! was madly wishing!!!
Luckily i am proficient in the ancient art of human origami i shan't take up much room! are we off to the canary islands?

Some of those wishes might have come true? Every year the cloud is just too bad here.
Hehehe yes, a tiny bungalow on a rocky beach in Lanzarote.

YES! every wish was to get home!
sounds lovely sun and lazing about hope you have a super time i bet you are counting the days now especially with all this wind and rain.

Oh bless you Dorothy!
Honestly the holiday keeps me going, adore Lanzarote with its beautiful light and climate, so clean and safe. And some lovely grub!
Have to do the tax returns before we depart, so might not be around a lot. Keep packing those bikinis, I will come and collect you all x

awh hope the tax returns aren't too...er....taxing

i shall be waiting, i'll be the folded like a japanese bird with flappy wings x

Tomorrow three weeks! Love the idea of a tiny little flappy bird in my cabin bag

I saw something on the internets yesterday that made me think of you tk....

The four seasons in Ireland.

1. Winter

2. A small bit warmer Winter

3. Absolutely feckin freezing so it is

4. For the love of God will this rain ever stop!!

How did your practice lunch go, planets? Is it full steam ahead for steak on Friday?

awh thanks for asking!
Yes indeed, i have managed some aberdeen angus burger *drools* which was lovely it's so long since i've eaten it i wasn't hungry for the rest of the day and have only just had breakfast

pouring with rain again here but not blowing a gale. hoorah!
i put my alarm clock on for 8am to give me my three hours getting ready to leave the house time for my doctor's appointment and there was a power cut in the night and the clock reset back to midnight so didn't go off! i woke up with five minutes until i had to leave to get there
brushed my teeth and drove like the devil! Got there 1 minute before my appointment but because i hadn't drunk my litre of water my veins wouldn't work AND because i had eaten the forbidden cow i have to go back next week so we don't get false readings from the birthday steak how bloody complicated if i'd know it would cause so much hassle i would have a had a salad (not really that's a lie i can't wait to chow down on my steak )

how's your foot doing? is mini twass coming for the weekend?

Well done for getting there on time....you must have panicked when you woke up And no time to glug that much water, obviously

I bet that burger tasted like manna from heaven to you after so long. No wonder it filled you up, your poor tum isn't used to PROPER FOOD these days! I bet that steak will be fabulous. It better had be

Foot is still improving, I got about today with no stick at all! Herself is coming, yes indeedy

Oh that's so true! It's such a shame, because when we do get good weather, you couldn't be in a more glorious place. Still, that's why we grow great grass and cattle

Flipping heck planets, you live life on the edge!

Hope the aul neck is subsiding.
