Happy Anniversary Graham & Pauline!

Good morning, no surprises on the news front…. ! 🥱 we’re off to the IOW tomorrow, staying a week in a caravan at Compton & then I’m staying for an extra couple of weeks to look after my mum, she had her hip replacement on Tuesday in Southampton, all went well hopefully my sister will bring her home later today & she’s on nursing duties for the week. Hopefully Mum will behave 🤣.

Good morning, I thought I’d catch you up with DS’s good news… He got his results yesterday & he achieved a first Honours degree (bachelor of science in geography)! Massively proud of him, particularly after his starting indecisions (changing courses & then changing back) & big housing issues his second year, not forgetting the tail end of you know what & girl friend woes! Have a great day everyone. X

Thanks everyone. It seems to have gone foggy again 😫.

The fog has finally cleared now here, fairly warm, but definitely not hot! Just come in from doing some weeding. Today is our 31st Wedding Anniversary so tonight we’re off to a local pub for a meal ( one that’s not showing football! Had enough of that for a bit 😏)

Connecting train caught no problems, a kind American couple watched my case while I used the platform facility’s. Have a wonderful cruse @Megabear2 I’ll be on Skye when you’re there so hopefully we’ll get a glimps of you! One of dh’s colleagues is on with you.

Good morning, early start today. I’m on the train feeling quite brave, so long since I’ve been on one, caught the same one as ds after all, gets me to Exeter slightly earlier for the connection to Westbury just in case. It’s going to be a long drive to the highlands over 2 days, glad my sister’s driving & I can look out the window! 😄. Have a great day everyone.

@Josy1953 sorry to hear about your sister. X

It’s cloudy, but here today, the wind seems to have picked up a bit. I’ve been tidying the garden & planting up some of the pots before I go on my road trip with my mum & 2 sisters tomorrow. Off to Scotland & @Megabear2 I feel your pain regarding packing! I’m trying to take a fairly small wheeled case as I’ve got to change trains at Exeter for Westbury where I meet my sister. Things have gone in & come out & more added, jeans, jumpers, waterproof, wash bag, ton of meds etc 😫. That’s without the decision of which water bottle to put in my backpack & do I just use my phone or take the compact? Far worse than packing for a med cruise.

Funnily enough dh mentioned Day of the triffids while we where watching last night 🤣

Absolutely stunning aurora last night, ds went down to the cliffs, but here’s some from our garden:

Good morning! The sun is shining, had to drop the car to the garage, so had a walk already, the dog was pleased to get some different sniffs including Foxy Loxy, managed to avert a smelly disaster . Thank you for all your good wishes yesterday. Now to look forward to my road trip to Skye at the end of the month with my 2 sisters & mum. Have a great day everyone, apparently it’s a bank holiday weekend so enjoy the rain 🤣🤣.

All clear! In & out quickly not too much dignity lost, except I couldn’t get into the gown 😂.

Cloudy here too, no thunder though. Off to Truro this afternoon for a cystoscopy (joy) already had an ultra sound all clear kidneys etc, no symptoms, but blood showing in urine when tested,😩. Watched Queen Anne come in on the IW webcams, not quite the same as rushing to Cowes after work like we did for Oriana with my Mum, but still exciting. Have a good day everyone.

Just catching up, you’ll be pleased to know we have some sun! I’ve packed our bag ready for Bournemouth later, looks like it’s due to be dry for the weekend up there. Looking forward to getting away. Have a good day everyone.
