Lovely Morning Chit-Chat-Thread - May 2024

Hi Moi, I hope the iron went in ok. I've had two bags via the liver clinic after having a blood transfusion!

It does take a while but eventually you will feel the benefit!

Good idea Eddie I think I need an allotment, been raining all day here , good for poppy getting a nice rest

I lost some through my treatment so have pallets, top fine, bottom bit of a bugger, fix a dent does the trick just before you eat. Ive just ate a pork chop. Lol  xx

I cheat n take them out n eat like a tortoise 

Hi everyone. I've had a lovely hour or so reading the back posts and learning that allotments are still a real thing! I've never been to the UK, so only really know what I see on TV or the news.

Yesterday I booked flights and accommodation for my husband (Tony) and I to take our 5 granddaughters to Rainbow's End - our only real fun park here. It's about an hour to fly to Auckland, then we have 2 nights to play and shop before we take them back to their parents. It's one of the things I've really wanted to do before I get too tired or sore, so I'm really happy about that! It's in 5 weeks, so we have plenty of time to get ramped up about it . The girls are aged from 9-15, so are the perfect age for this kind of activity - young enough to be unselfconscious about being excited and old enough to know what they want.

Hope you've all had a good day. Sleep well, I'm off to work!

That's me been to the dentist and lived to tell the tale!! I was shaking all over and she said don't worry at least you didn't faint like the local fireman who was in last week. He's 6'2" big boned and goes into burning buildings for a living. He was just getting a checkup too!

Bad news is I've got a hole in my wisdom tooth and it's underneath the gum where she can't get to it. So coming out in August under sedation because it is at a bad angle she said! Oh well!!

Hi Tiaki and great to see you on the chit chat thread, started by a wonderful lady called Ellie who I am sure you will meet. Allotments "i have one" are amazing, a place to make good friends, grow most of your own food and an escape when things get difficult, Is there nothing similar in NZ. Sounds fab taking your grandkids to the fun park, hope it's all you could ever wish for. take care.
