Good morning ladies, yesterday was in the 80s, had to turn the A/C on and today will be another warm day, time to start thinking about cleaning up the yard, it will be nice to get outside and move around.

Holly, good luck with the upcoming surgery.

Hollydolly, that's not made up. It's from a song we used to sing way back when at the beginning of every school day in primary school! I can't remember the rest of it, though.

QS, glad your new smile is getting better and better. I think you should insure it with Lloyd's of London:)

Thank you for sharing it with us. When I read your posts, about taking the bus to the gym ect., I try to picture what everything looks like there. Did not expect that spectacular view. Are the houses still quaint or is everthing modernized?

I had TMJ back in the early 80's. Awful! I used to have to yank my mouth open in the morning or it was locked! I went to a dental school as I was told an expert was there. He asked me about when the TMJ began, what was going on in my life. I said it was the start of a new semester at college (I was a single mother as well). And he just say yup, it's stress. He said for about $2,000 he could make some kind of nightguard, etc to help. Of course, I couldn't pay that. But realizing that it was stress and that I often had a tension in my jaw, I started consciously paying attention to keeping my jaw relaxed. Bingo. Gone within a few months.

Yes, I tried the nightguard thing (did not cost as much as they quoted you, though) and was examined and re-examined by both doctors and dentists, got Rx for pain pills and muscle relaxants, etc. In desperation I tried acupuncture. I walked in with jaw pain and walked out without it. It didn't return until several months later. I turned to acupuncture immediately and received immediate relief. That's why always suggest it to anyone dealing with chronic pain.

Houses are of varying ages here. It's a very long coastal road and most of the houses are right on the water. I'd say the majority are Victorian. There are some brand new houses - maybe 7 or 8 out of dozens, then our house is in between at 88 years old. The bungalows on the other side of us are from the 60's.

One of the bigger houses down the road:

Saw this on the cover of a tourist magazine. My area.

So glad I got rid of it just by being aware of how I caused it. It's fairly common I've heard.
 
AS, gorgeous daffodil shot! I imagine there are lots of them blooming in Britain right now. And Blue Bells and Tulips? I would so love to be there for spring . . . :butterfly:

Spring is awesome here. Our garden has literally dozens of varieties of flowers thanks to hubby. Something is blooming almost the entire year. Bluebells are in May. Can't remember when tulips are. We have something different bloom almost every month until about Sept. I did a Flickr album of every single type of flower in our garden in 2011 when I first got this camera.
 
I am delighted to say that round here; the council have planted thousands of daffodils down the road verges, in roundabouts, and down the middle I'd dual carriageways.
it looks fantastic at this time of year; together with large circles of yellow crocuses.

Lots planted around here as well. The hill next to our hospital is covered in them.
 
Tulips bloom between March and April depending on the temperatures. Our Daffs are well and truly in Bloom now , so hopefully being in the hotter south the Tulips will start showing their heads by the end of March.

Lovely picture of the daffodil AS, I've seen the photos of out front of your house before, never tire of seeing it, it's very pretty and as you know I do know that coast quite well tho' it's a long time since I visited.

I had my MRI Scan today, 45 minute appointment turned into 4 hours because they'd had an emergbecy in prior to me arriving so I had to wait ..this was in a private hospital not the NHS where hospital appointments run routinely hours late ..anyway that's all done now, it sized my back up lying in the scanner for 40 minutes so they had to help me off the Scanner bed. *0uch* , but I was ok once I got moving

Glinda yes chica, I have tried everything for my back problem nothing has worked to ease the pain. I have a torn disc resting on the sciatic nerve and I also have Osteo arthritis in my spine between Vertebrae C1 through to C6 . ...

I do hope you've all had/having a good day..it's just after 5pm here so I have to think about what to make for dinner.. :D

Ouch! Sorry you had to wait so long and then to have your back seize up.

Re the daffodil, thanks! The pics of our front are from today. I've got at least a thousand different photos of out front...sunrise, cloudy, sunny, all seasons, all the different boats and ships, etc.
 
Here's hoping that everyone's day is going well. I think that this flu bug I've been battling is slowly going away (I hope!). The worst part was having a temperature - it made me shake like crazy because of the chills. Temp started to go down yesterday but since then I've mostly felt hugely tired and very floppy. My dog, Suki, seems to know I'm feeling lousy, because when I'm walking her she isn't pulling on the leash to keep walking like usual.

How wonderful that so many of you have daffodils this soon! That flower is definitely a harbinger of Spring!

Glad you're starting to feel better. :)

Our daffodils have been here a while. It's been colder than normal though so some bloomed and then looked a bit battered. We have 6 varieties of daffodils and they bloom at different times.
 
Kath, I'm glad you're feeling better. My grandmother, a nurse, always recommended Campbell's chicken noodle soup and ginger ale when recovering from the flu or a cold. My mother fed it to all of us, and I gave it to my kids. I don't know that it does anything to speed up recovery, but it's easy to digest when you're still at the stage of being hungry and nothing sounds appealing.

My back yard is full of little islands of daffodils. Come to think of it, the front yard is full of them, too. My daughter tends the front yard; I take care of the back. Guess I just don't notice much in front because when I'm outside, it's either because I'm sitting on the patio or fiddling around in the garden.

The client I was so ticked at two weeks ago because his girlfriend took all the cleaning supplies and left me with nothing but a bottle of bleach and a bottle of white vinegar? He listed his house for sale on the 11th. Sold it today for full asking price. Goody. I wanted to quit but then again, didn't want to give up the money. Now I don't have to bother deciding. I don't know when the sale is closing, but I'll be there at least one more time unless, of course, the sale falls through. Fingers crossed that it all goes well! I'm not going to get another client to replace him. Instead I'll have every other Wednesday off. Off, I tell you! Woohoo!
