Some funny things happening in my garden- well,my little apple tree,a Bramley, has lots of little apples on it but today I noticed blossom too!
New blossom, it is a good while since the first blossom was on - that weeks ago.
The “ June drop” has happened ,tiny apples all over the grass.
My C ox’ s had lots of apples but all gone—- not ripe by any means so must be birds or squirrels—-
Lovely day ,much milder and very sunny.
Lots of washing done .


So sad the air crash, very strange re the landing gear and flaps ,not retracted.
Amazing that a passenger survived.


Ordered a suit for Grand daughter’s wedding in August ,navy blue silky and I have a lovely off white / ivory jacket if it is chilly , navy shoes and bag .
Now hat? I have a plain off white fine straw fairly large brim that would take a navy ribbon / bow trim.
I might look like a mushroom though ,I have shrunk both vertically and horizontally !

Had a bad day yesterday ,chest pains like very bad indigestion , it did respond a bit to Gaviscon , but all night.
Better this morning however.
I never know what to do, but if it had been heart related would surely not have lessened after Gaviscon, and something more dramatic surely  would have happened ——
So a quiet day today, and feel O.K.

Had a light tea and so far O.K.

Hope all are alright,many have very difficult conditions to cope with.
Cheerio.Viktoria.

Hi Viktoria
Sorry you have been uncomfortable,  hopefully you will feel better tomorrow, are you doing to much?

You will look the bees knees as they say at the forthcoming wedding , I am sure you could put a nice ribbon round your  hat.

I went with my local priest sick visiting today,  so sad, both have either dementia or altzheimers,  we don't think we can offer communion  wafer to the one  who does like communion, she has difficulty  swallowing, can't take the risk. Afterwards the reverend treated me to a Rossi ice cream on the seafront,  it was very hot , got home eventually feeling  quite shattered.

My husband's 86th birthday tomorrow,  not doing much except a BBQ  in the evening with my daughter and family.

Enjoy the weekend folks, we are expecting a storm, one  day if excessive  heat and we expect a storm

My new pacemaker was fitted on Thursday during a day case - went in at 8 am and got home around 6 pm.  The hospital staff were kind and helpful and my husband is now having to help me out with some domestic tasks, as I'm not allowed to raise my left arm above shoulder height for 6 weeks!  Taking a shower is rather difficult because I mustn't get the dressing wet, but that will come off next week, which will make matters easier. Dressing is slow and sometimes problematic, as everything has to be front fastened and I'm used to popping tops on over my head. My daughter will wash my hair for me.  There are some prepared meals in the freezer to help for a few days and I was up to date with laundry, cleaning and shopping before the procedure.

I am also going to a wedding in July, Viktoria, and like you will be wearing navy and white, but I won't be wearing a hat and I don't think I will be dancing, either!

Thunderstorm just passed through - put the kybosh on the TV signal!
Had daughter #2 visiting - mainly for TT, and catching up with old college chums.

But she did visit me twice - I needed help setting up Alexa!
She also joined myself, my mate, his daughter and his ex-partner at our regular Wednesday pub meet up.
It was great to see her; and nice to be able to talk to Alexa!

Our storm wasn't so bad, don't think I heard a lot of it as I had terrible cramp and must have been ooing and  aaring  most of the time in  so much pain.
Wet to start with but the sun keeps popping out, we did need a storm to clear the air but a pity so many things will be spoilt today due to the weather.

Not keen on Alexa myself, use the radio for local updates mainly

Take care

I like navy blue, more than black .
The skirt is deeply pleated and will really swing when I move.
I have a pair of new navy suede medium height heel shoes and also plain navy court shoes and marching plain navy clutch bag,worn once for my daughter’s second wedding .
It is the bride who will get all the attention and rightly so.

Have sorted out some puppy toys from my last dog , the new puppy has lots but nice to swap and change them . One releases a treat when rolled about , it is adjustable so treats often or seldom but it is good for the odd occasions
when the puppy is alone .
She has a big cage and sleeps there ,but likes it when she is tired and Flash Harry and Kyra know to respect her space.
She has not had her tail docked ,was a Veterinary Nurse’s dog’s puppy.
The mother died after a few weeks so has really been hand reared , but whilst that  is in a way a bonus she has not had the discipline a mother dog gives to her puppies.So she needs to be well trained and has already got some
commands .
Well a horrible dull day here.
Eldest son on holiday ,was 68 on Thursday, I can’t believe it , how the years have flown by.
Well ,must get on , hope all are as well as can be expected given I know quite a few are not well.Hope you enjoy the weekend.
Cheerio.Viktoria.
P.S. ouch! OoooLouisa, that is so painful - hard rubbing and if a leg go on tip toes and hard rubbing sometimes helps but check with your Dr as it can be a lack of something in your diet, can’t remember what though .
Hope it doesn’t come back.V.

Gillg, hope all is well. Thinking of you.
Viktoria, your proposed outfit sounds lovely - I myself never wear any shade of blue, simply hate it.
LouisaMaud, it started chucking it down a bit before midnight last night, and my goodness I could almost hear the ground and plants slurping in delight! No thunderstorms here.
KGarrad, not tangled with Alexa, at present neither videorecorder/humax working -so restricted to "Real time" broadcasting, but spend most of time reading, as news depresses me so much now. I'm becoming a technophobe / luddite, after too many years working with it all!
