Good morning all everyone,
Just setting up a new chat thread for June. If you would like to catch up on May's chat you can click here. Please note that it's now locked, so you won’t be able to reply to that thread.
The chit chat thread is for:
Daily Life chit chat for bloods, scans, appointments, going shopping, cutting grass, reading, watching some thing decent on TV - whatever your day has in store for you. That is daily life!
Even having a laugh, that is a normal life, and we all have it.
If you have a special topic please start a new thread so people that wish to see it can, and can comment.
Oh Eddie, I saw on another thread that you are not going to get to Greece. I am so sorry to hear that. You seemed to be looking forward to it so much.
I am sure from what I have read in previous posts, that you will arrange something closer to home.
You and Lesley have a lovely weekend with the twins.
Helen.
Wow - looks fabulous. I love lily pads and water in gardens in general . Always very calming to hear water in the background or look out across a serene pond
Are you an RHS member? I guess you are , you’re getting good value out of it !

Thanks Helen, It would have been nice, but not to be, but there's a chance of going later in the year, the girls took me to Cleethorpes today 30C, fab, and Lesley and I are off to Shropshire tomorrow to see our family for a couple of days,
What plans have you for the weekend my friend, Eddie xx
Morning Lucy, looking after little Mandy, will be wonderful, my friend, the kids mum and I are off to see our son in Shropshire for a couple of days, he and his wife need a little time away, so we have the twins and older siblings to look after, and we may get to Greece later in the year anyways, how are you doing, and what are you up to this weekend, whatever it is, enjoy
Eddie xx
Sounds like a lovely weekend for you - you will need a rest next week but I’m sure you’ve already factored that in
Just pottering this weekend and resting after travelling home yesterday. I felt sorry for myself this morning as was supposed to go to meet friends today but am not up to it . Anyway had a word with myself and will have a relaxing afternoon sitting amongst my pots on my decking with hubby instead
Hope all of you are ok and had no bad effects from the Thunderstorms. So far we only have rain but it might push on this far north yet. Everyone enjoy as good a weekend as possible. Love from
Angie and Lilly x
Flashing through the darkened sky
lightning bolt explodes.
We await with bated breath
as mighty thunder bodes.
With massive crash it resounds,
echoing in our ears;
deafens us with its great roar,
enhancing all our fears.
Then pours down the drenching rain,
in giant buckets full,
soaking us with water cold
as all our senses dull.
Raging winds chill to the bone
and make our bodies shake.
We search desp'rately to find
what shelter we may take.
We stand 'neath a spreading tree,
but that is a mistake.
If the lightning hits that wood,
we'll end up Shake-and-Bake!
