Good morning everyone
A  very  chilly morning, I have been up since 5am and the lounge is very cold, I feel the heating will be on soon and it is still on September.

Mare, we both have a banana every day, helped with migraine  in the past,  not so much now, think we have grown out of it, thank goodness.

Our grandaughter  is home from a holiday in Turkey, starts the second year of her graduate job, has to do  a   3 hours travel away so she might have to get a B& B for a couple of nights each week then come home, she can't afford to leave home just yet.

I won't make to  much comment but I am beginning  to feel as if the whole world has gone mad,  I have stopped watching  the news, think I am a bit of an ostrich.

Take care

LM

Husband's dad had a banana a day all his life that I know of, certainly since marriage anyway and recall one time when boats didn't come in and there was a shortage, M-i-l drove all over the city to find any! He was known among teaching colleagues for bringing one every day for his lunch and jokes and poems etc ensued when he changed schools  :D

And yes, an overload of world news to be avoided!

Morning.. bright and sunny.. so far.. but very windy no sign of rain but had a good lot yesterday..

Off to first Pilates class today after laser and cataract surgery 4 weeks ago so hoping all will be ok… eyes taken a long time for bloodshot to go but vision sooo much better… opticians on Thursday to see exactly how much better it is!

I have half a banana every day with other fruit and natural yogurt I love them.
Goodness Mare that was dedication on your M-I-l’s part.

I can only watch one news a day but as OH records it so we fast forward a lot as it’s too depressing…
Hope everyone has a better week, stays warm, dry and well..

Good morning folks, well a severe yellow weather warning here - we had a cloudburst on Saturday ,our road,at the foot of Holcombe Hill, is steep and it was just like a raging torrent after a cloudburst !

Son back but computer not sorted out ,disagreement re which department is
liable!

I can’t have bananas and I love them ,too much Potassium it seems ,not good with one of my medicines .

Well there is very little we can do re all the problems in the world, watched a programme this morning -Afghanistan ,how the only maternity clinic has closed .Women and babies dying ,thanks to the Taliban.

Oh if only women ruled the world, then you think of Mrs Marcos!

Glad your eyes are improving Caw, hope things go O.K at the opticians.

Aren’t young people brave today, all that travel for your grand daughter L.M.

Well baby Lily is looking as if she is considering starting to crawl.
It is so important for future development that they crawl ,she is a bonny bouncy baby ,no lightweight which might have contributed to the delay.
Latest video is her sucking her toes! Really enjoying it!

Well no Bargain Hunt today, flipping athletics !
Must say the women’s Rugby ,England vScotland was good,
So little fouling in the women’s games -football too.

Hope all are safe,but knowing quite a few have health issues I wish you all have some improvement .
Cheerio.Viktoria.
P.S. reading a book from the charity shop ,a lovely coloured photograph fell out ,a llittle boy ,so lovely .Someone will be very sad, there was also a transatlantic plane ticket ,used as a bookmark I think .
I will take the photograph to the shop , perhaps they could put it up so if the donor of the books goes in again they would see it and could get it back.
A very new photo, no creases or marks at all.
Well cool here today so must get moving .
Thanks for the news .look after yourselves .
Cheerio,Viktoria.

Sounds like a wonderful round the world trip KG! Bet that’s been fun finding and looking up lots of wonderful records…

I can remember when bananas came back in my parents green grocery shop, after the war had finished.
Canary bananas still on the stalks, in long boxes ,Elder and Fyffes ,
A scorpion scrambled out of one, Dad killed it with the poker!

But do you remember dried bananas?  My mother used to buy them for us at the health food shop and we loved them.  Very sweet, of course, like all dried fruit.

I loved the dried bananas in the war but thought the fresh ones were horrible when they became available, I love them now and used to buy them every week. Unfortunately they are now an occasional treat as I have to limit my potassium intake. It’s Murphy’s law that the things one really enjoy are what end up being restricted. I love  grapefruits but haven’t been able  to have one for over ten years because of the medication I’m on.
