Awake and up all night

Hello. 
My husband and I watched Marvin Gaye last night too. It was really good. xx

I think that's the ship that Gill came over in her coffin.

Afternoon Kez  

It's the other way round here - I'm too hot but OH's got the chills - thin t-shirt for me and chunky cardie for him

Doing the same as yourself though and getting everything washed and ready for autumn  It's quite exciting in a way!

Enjoy your day too sweetheart xxx

Don't be spilling all my secrets Uki  xxx

Hello spcowen  and welcome to the group. Hope you have found some of the answers helpful. My son has head and neck problems his is a trapped nerve in his neck. He finds an orthopaedic pillow helpful. I stole the idea because I have stiffness in my neck and found some relief.

Thanks shimmer. Marvin gaye died tragically as well. His son shot him and killed him.

Afternoon Sonia  

It seems a few here watched Marvin last night too

Here's the story how MG died. The day before his 45th birthday he was visiting his parents and was subsequently shot in the chest by his dad, soon dying from the wounds. He'd had a bad relationship with his dad but bought him the gun himself a few months earlier. On the day he visited a violent row broke out between his parents, he intervened and that's when Gay Snr grabbed the pistol.

Even though he was responsible for his son's demise, he was dealt with leniently as it was discovered he had a brain tumour. Tragic all round.

Hope you're feeling relaxed today hon. I've got to get the tea on xxx

Thank you Gill. I knew the circumstances were tragic but didn't know the whole story. I am just relaxing today Gill after cleaning my living room. Glad to hear you are getting your washing done. I don't mind doing the washing not keen on ironing.xxx

No ironing here sweetie, I've found ways round it and we still look presentable. I've got an iron and board though, just in case.

Yep, same here with chores and gradually working my way through some of the crummy stuff that I don't fancy doing when the nights draw in.

Wonder if Shimmer and pals won any prizes at bingo? I'll ask if she comes on later.

Right, best go and check in the oven - nowt worse than burnt offerings  

Probably see you later, lovely xxx

Same here Gill for ironing. I turn the spin down to 600rpm on the machine then hang stuff reasonably neatly on airers - nothing fancy or electric, just indoor washing lines really. Speaking of burnt offerings, yesterday when I was vacuuming the front room carpet the vacuum cleaner motor hesitated, slowed down and stopped within the space of a few seconds. Next, acrid smoke started to come out of it. I switched it off then as quickly as possible took it outside to the middle of my driveway, this being the only space with no parched tinder dry grass near it. Thankfully it stopped smoking after 10 minutes. Today it went to the recycling yard. The replacement  vacuum cleaner which I bought yesterday evening seems fine. Thinking about it, all of my mains vacuum cleaners since the early 2000s have failed in a similarly smokey way. Prior to that, they lasted a decade or two, only being disposed of when the flexible tube cracked and spares became unobtainable. xxx
