Hi everyone,
Just setting up a new chat thread for November. If you would like to catch up on October'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 Fleabane, thank you for the tips, it is much appreciated. I will certainly give it a try.
I will try the breathing before I settle it may help me relax. I have had a stressful day, my grownup son who lives with me was rushed to hospital with breathing problems and they plan to keep him in, probably over the weekend.
Hi Sharon, it's lovely to hear you too are managing the little and often way, and I've heard it's cold back home from my youngest daughter, she's had to bring the animals into the barns, Bari is lovely, but we only saw it in the dark. Keep warm and cosy.

Hi my friend, it's been a while, and it's been good to read your stable, and staying active, and hopefully still enjoying getting out with Phoebe who must be almost fully grown by now, are you still doing your watercolours?, you sort of got me into it, so thank you for that.

Hi eddiel are you in Greece now? I was thinking, you know how the kids have a Father Christmas tracker to see where he is in the world? We need one for you, so we can check where you are.
Morning Chelle, sort of, we're on the Ionian sea about 3hrs from Patras, so I'm not sure if we're in Italian, Greek, or international waters, and I already have a tracking app on my phone, it's a family thing. So my friend you asked me about travelling through Europe by train, I can't fault it, their very comfortable and smooth so stretching your legs isn't a problem, nor having a nap, on board food is fine and WiFi is good and we got returns from London to Bari for £160, a bargain

That is really good to hear Eddie, that is a real bargain! Glad you are able to travel in comfort x
Ha ha Chelle that's a good idea for our jet setting Eddie x
Hi Eddie, enjoy your sunshine in Bari. I am keeping warm and cosy. I had hoped to have a relaxing weekend after a busy week but my son has been admitted to hospital with breathing problems and they are keeping him in over the weekend so I am busy sorting things out.
