Good morning everyone and happy Thursday! Today we commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. We will be having a special service at church this morning, and, this evening church bells will.ne rung throughout the country.
Laura, wishing.you a safe and successful trip with DS today -so glad your DF is able to go with you.
Bama, you and Peaches have reminded me I need to do Kitty nails, and that is certainly a task! (Maybe I can leave Freddie's for now, as he will get a "professional" mani-pedi when he goes to the vet at the end of the month)
Helian, I'm glad your DMum is drinking - as everyone else has said, it's so important.
Enjoy your day off today, Trissie!
Gma, it *is* exhausting caring for pets who are unwell, and Tutsi is getting.tje very best care.
Well, yesterday didn't go as planned. I was up, showered, dressed and Freddie walked by 8 am, but no one turned up. By 10 am he was still a no show, so I rang the number Id been given, thinking there was.a problem with the van, or maybe he was unwell. Turns out, he had gone to the wrong house.
I'm still sweet and understanding, until I was told he wouldn't be able to come Wednesday, but how about Thursday? Well, I'm out Thursday, and as they didn't turn up today when I'm waiting for them, I can't really trust them to turn up when I'm not there. (I didn't say it quite like that of course, I was more polite, but the meaning was clear). Well then,how about Friday? Just no,.as I've had to move all my plants, and I want to get them back ASAP, as it's not doing them.or the lawn any good being piled up there. In the end, the coordinator worked a.miracle.and T arrived at 3.55 pm. Fortunately for him, he was a very personable and hard working young man (originally from Lithuania, but his English was good) and has done a good job on both the gutters and the cladding, so the top of the house is looking smart again.
Dnextdoorneighbour C was interested in using the same company, so I advised her the standard of work is very high (as far as I can tell) but she will need to be around for the whole day, if necessary, to supervise!
I did eventually get my plants back in place (DH very kindly moved the really heavy one for me) but it was nearly 9.30 pm by the time I had watered everything. Fortunately, it's that time of year when we have lovely long, light evenings.
Next job round the house will be a plumber to fix the kitchen tap. Curiously enough, with the warmer weather the dripping has greatly reduced! Today is going to be busy, so maybe tomorrow, or maybe leave it until Monday morning? We'll see.
Today is going to be church, followed by the usual coffee and chat, and then I need to take Jude for her appointment at weight loss clinic. I also need to remember to request more flea control for Matilda, as I had a text yesterday to say it's due. I also need to leave early for both of these due to the ongoing roadworks (just how long does it take to dog a hole?
) This evening is my Waitrose delivery. I'm planning chicken soup for supper, with fresh bread. This will use up the broth from the chicken carcass and is good natured if the delivery is delayed for some reason.
Good morning, kittykatt, trissie, helia.
