Hi everyone,
Just setting up a new chat thread for October. If you would like to catch up on September'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!
Hi Kate, Glad to hear that you haven't been touched too badly by the storm, in my part of Northern Ireland, County Down, it was bad, but not as bad as the last storm when our power was off for almost a week.
Mrs Tvman and I were in the Republic of Ireland visiting our son in Dundalk and coming back up the radio was telling us how bad it was in the west. Thankfully we travelled before dark because a few times I had to take evasive action to avoid parts of trees on the inside lane of the dual carriageway.

Good morning Stella, Craig and of course Winston. It was pretty lively here over the past couple of days. We had some trees down and a few wheelie bins from further up the road tumbling along the road. Thankfully the winds eased during the early hours today. What a shame about your appointment, but you are safe and that is the most important aspect. Hope everyone is ok and had no storm damage. Lilly is sending her love to Winston. She was not impressed with the storm. Hope you all have a nice Sunday.
Love Angie and Lilly xxx

Hi Lily
You are looking very radiant and cute.
I am doing well and keep my humans under firm Paws They have bought me a new cushion but I pref the box it came in much more
Yours W

Hello Winston, I know exactly what you mean. I love the boxes too when my human pet gets me something new. You would have thought they had caught on by now and get us some decent boxes to play and hide. Hope your pets are doing ok and you keep them on their toes . My pet has not been 100 per cent so I am trying to be very good at present. Sending you a purrrrfect big furry hug and one to your pets too
Your Lilly xxxx
Good morning. I have a zoom meeting this morning with Penny Brohn a cancer charity. It is to tell me all about the services that they offer and courses etc. Has anyone else used this charity and did you find it helpful? Other than that will be walking the dogs in the woods and maybe a bit of gardening and then the pub later for a few drinks with Jon my other half (and Georgie the dog). He likes to go to the pub as he always get spoilt and some sausage roll.

Hi Ellie, nice your daughter visited and enjoy your pampering. Sorry about the anniversary but you are staying here for the time being. We need you.
I am enjoying Thailand, don't do much until late afternoon, then we stroll along the beach, get a bite to eat and come back around nine. I sometimes get a bit depressed, could be the last time, if I was on morphine wouldn't be here but you learn to appreciate every little bit as you know
