Went out right after sunrise, before the day's heat sets in, and pulled up the dried stems of the day lilies. They are beautiful when in bloom, but leave messy-looking dried stalks afterward. This is about half of what I pulled up.

Well I'm very happy to say I did o out for a couple of hours with my friend this afternoon......

We went to M&S to get some nice feel good food.... choccies and cake.. and nice cheeses... and fruit....


..then we went to the pub for a drink..... glorious, glorious sunshine...

I was a little bit freaked out because we got to M&S in North London.. fine no hold up, roads were very quiet.. althou' the retail park was very busy... but as we drove back on the same motorway on the opposite carriageway..there was a HUGE crash involving a Transit van.. and a car, in almost exactly the same situation as my collison.. they'd just come down the opposite slip road.. and the police were already in attendance , and blocking the roads...

Hiking with Otto and Heidi in early morning fog at 62 degrees. My 10-year old "big guy" does no longer go on long hikes.

My best wishes for the infusion to help you @CinnamonSugar !
Maybe add more iron rich foods to your diet?

LOL, Cinna, I just remembered...you're a Nurse!!

Yeah, @RadishRose, being a nurse, you would think I’d have avoided this problem in the first place, lol. Thanks for the info, I will take advantage of it

I'm not feeling the greatest today. I think my body is tired from too much heat, and too much Benadryl. So, not much to say right now.

Woke up this morning , thinking someone was calling my name!

Hubby was still asleep, so it wasn't him. & the dog doesn't talk.

Checked morning blood,,55 hmmm ,low .
Blood pressure was also low??

Guess my brain is off today,,,,,, the meal I made didn't get cooked enough.

Hope Monday brings every one a good day.

you're so lucky to have so much happening near where you live.....

Holly, you would have loved it. The sunshine did bring the crowds, but everyone was there to enjoy themselves even though most of them were unfamiliar with 1930's & 40's swingtime era music. Here's a few pics, just look at the smiling faces.


We have known most of the band members for many years. Patrick the band leader, commented that he had not seen us for a good while and thought that we might have moved away. He was quite shocked to learn of my wife's surgery, as was other band members. But on a happier note, Patrick gave us a couple of tickets for their next gig at The Regent in Christchurch next Sunday. It's a concert called: "A Night At The Movies." No dance floor at The Regent, but the band are always a treat to listen to.

Morning all...

A different day today than yesterday's glorious sunshine.....overcast.... and dull

District nurse has just been and re-dressed my injuries... .

DD is due to call ... shortly in her lunch hour... I'm very worried about her because she's taken the news of her redundancy from her job extremely hard.. . There's nothing she can do about it beause it's not just her, it;s the whole plant.. everyone has lost their job.. but she and another guy have been the only ones who have been allowed to stay on for 3 months to help with the winding up of the company.

It gives her longer to look for a job but it alos means she can't leave or start another job before November.. so she's caught between a rock & a hard place..


Anyway, hope most of you have less stressful things going on..
