Compo 10,328 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Had an interesting 90 minutes in an online discussion about mental health issues last night. Given that I'm almost 100% insane I enjoyed it very much and to top it off I earned £30 for taking part - which was nice  4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 The early mornings and late evenings have been really enjoyable of late. Breakfasts outside at 6 am with the birds hopping about and no traffic noise in the background. Yesterday evening we had a cider club meeting in our garden. It started with us all getting fish and chips from the visiting F&C van and then sitting down to taste various ciders, a perry and finally the Calvados. A great evening. The meeting did have an agenda but it got lost. No one took minutes. The 'Chair' seemed to move around at random and no one can remember any decisions being made. We will just have to have another meeting................. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,409 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Sounds about right Compo. Very little was ever sorted out in works meeting other than the date and time of the next meeting and organising the breakfast buttys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 The same as teacher training days. When I used to deliver to schools it was just an excuse for teachers to catch up on gossip & watch DVDs in the staff room ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Good grief CF ! Never let a woman near anything remotely sharp. Mine cut through the cable of the hedge cutter on the very first day I bought it several years ago. Last year she slipped on the step ladder, and it gashed her arm ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well the fireworks are over for another year. Dogs handled it pretty well this time.  Poor old Mrs. L took some kind of a neck spasm though. She was in a lot of pain. I thought I was going to end up driving to the hospital.  She decided to tough it out with some Tylenol.  It brought back a lot of scary memories of the late Mrs. Loppy. I had never realized up until that time that a heart attack in a woman produces quite different symptoms. I was afraid we were having a repeat performance.  She had been sitting at her sewing machine all afternoon and thought that might have caused it. who knows? Thankfully she seems to be on the mend now. She should be able to do some gardening soon. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Another storm today, this weather is getting to me. Suffering high temperature during the day , late afternoon high winds and torrential rain, then sunny again. A bit like UK 4 seasons in one day. The pool in itself is finished and we started to fill it. Water pressure very low so ended up pumping water from the well. It only took just over a day to fill. Engineer came this morning to check everything and another one coming tomorrow. Only groutinog needed on border and the rest has to be brought to a level and probably tiled in a while.Anyway after 2 months and a half we can finally have an idea what we had planned comes to fruit. We are certainly fed up of having workmen around, having to watch the dogs dont escape. I have said all along that when the pool is ready for us it will rain !
