Can't understand why last week's diary has to be locked so soon.?

Had a nice day out today to a large town that I have not been to for years  nice lunch out  which was a bonus, plus  lovely weather and traffic was good despite it being  half term,

Another week gone for you Viktoria,     your weeks recuperation  is going very quickly  but you must be patient

Seemingly because one person didn't like us adding to it.......... 

Lovely sunny day here, not quite as cold as yesterday. I can put up with the autumn/ winter weather when it's like this, it's those gloomy grey days that get me down.

Well a thought occurred to me,I have not checked re pacemakers and stairlifts!
Seemingly they are O.K.

Yes three weeks gone by on Thursday ,so half way through .
Not very much pain now and sleeping better ,the odd occasion when I almost forget and raise my arm !

Daughter phones this evening .Oh I wish I could turn the clocks back a few years ,like about fifty years when we left our orders at the corner shop on the way to taking the children to school  and pick them up on our homeward journey .
What a marathon with Tesco—- failed to deliver yesterday evening and so I reordered the same order but they left off three items which meant I was charged for packing and delivery as I was then below the minimum spend so had charges added.
Seems to be O.K now but no delivery until tomorrow .
Progress? It does not seem so to me sometimes.

Quite a cold day but bright and I hoped my ramp man would come ,it might have been finished today but no one came .

Don’t you have to be patient when you are old !

Well Mastermind,Only Connect ,University Challenge on this evening , I like those
Dud not do very well with The 100% Club last time .

Well look after yourselves folks.
Viktoria.

How quickly we seem to be zipping through October… where has it all gone!
Sunny day to start.. washing out then squally showers off and on so it all got another wash!
Last week we were in Lyme Regis, lovely place.. weather cloudy but not cold and did have a glimpse of sunshine on the Tuesday doesn’t everything look so much better in the sun… first time we’ve used Airbnb and delightful little bijou place.

Glad to hear your getting on well Viktoria and I’m sure the next three weeks will whizz by..congrats on becoming a gt grandma to another baby very exciting.

Getting ready for our Christmas Fayre on Dec 6th… busy doing lots of sewing now holiday, lots docs appts, OH’s birthday out the way .. I’d love to hand the reins of organising to someone else ( younger!) for tge next one in 2 yrs time! Raising money again for Young Carers.

Take care and stay well… seems to be a bit of covid doing the rounds so need to stay clear!

I AM FED UP WITH APPS

Yes I am shouting,  every day there is  something that comes  online  concerning  Apps, I  don’t do apps on anything,  drives me mad.
Was  a really  nice day till lunch time  then the sun went in, I had been at the church hall sorting stuff out for the forthcoming bazaar, not going to do white  elephant this time but a Christmas table , that will make a change.
Been given a few good ideas of wine or water tombola, that should be fun, we have a retired fireman who I jokingly talked into doing running it, has a very dry humour, he said he won't be changing  water into wine,  so once again all systems go for yet another fun raiser.

Hope everyone is keeping well despite the clock change and the dark nights, lock your doors those who don't want to partake  in trick or treat, I don't believe in it,   someone said it has taken over from Guy Fawkes .

Why do apps bother you so much LM? They're just a shortcut to websites and are a part of modern life, much in the same way that the Internet has been for all these years. They can be very useful, but of course you're not obliged to use them 

I hate it when the clocks change, apart from it getting dark so early I find I'm hungry and tired at the wrong times. Halloween seems to have been going on for weeks already. Anyone ringing my doorbell on Friday evening or knocking will be ignored. 

[louisa maud]

Halloween  i close the curtains and leave as many lights off as I can,  I was fine till a few years ago I had a group  of louts knock and scooped the lot of goodies I had, never again, my grandchildren  only ever came to our house and never knocked on strangers  doors,  and you never know what some people are dishing out.

Caw, we used to love Lyme Regis, went there often. When I was a child it was the Fossil connection, but it's a fascinating place.
I'm not keen on Hallowe'en at all. Refuse to hide away, though. On 5th November I can be found with the cats in a quiet well-curtained room, don't like that, either.
And because of health issues etc. no Christmas tree etc. this year - all my wonderful collection of glass baubles, dating back over 100 years, will stay dustily in the loft, probably not come out again until.....
Ah well.
