Yawn Yawn, Wakey WAKEY... 2014...

Good morning everyone,

Steve...Hope you're feeling better soon,hot toddy when you get home ,you want rid of it tout suite so you can relax and enjoy your time off

Hope everyone else is feeling OK and haven't melted....

Hold on to your hats folks it's getting hotter

It was very hot at work yesterday especially as it's difficult to open the windows because the residents prefer them closedit was like a greenhouse in there but they are all very frail and feel the cold more.Still ,I must have shed a few pounds so more excuse to eat...

Just time for another cuppa then off I go...

Have a lovely day everyone and take care

 

Morning early people, up late due to having a barbeque with Willow Made it to Ilminster on time though, have a good day and don't get your tongue stuck on the deep freeze

 

Morning everyone,

Zigs, do be careful and as Shiney says wear a hat if you are up on that roof again.

Steve, Sorry you have a cold I am suffering with hayfever so keep taking the antihistamine. You will have to get shot of it soon as it will soon be holiday time!

Loli, I really do not envy you working in that home with all the windows closed. I know old people feel the cold but you need some air too. Can't they put an extra bed jacket on? Although I suppose they are not all confined to bed are they?

WOO, so glad you enjoyed your day yesterday. Do you like this hot weather? Spring and Autumn are my time, well when they run to the old fashioned calendar that is.

Shiney, Thanks for the update on Barry, I do hope you will be able to sort him out soon. Yes you do love your retirement don't you?!!!!

Well only two lots of cramp last night but I shall be glad when my homeopathic Quinine pills come so I can stop the cramp altogether. It was too warm to sleep anyway I had a fan going all night it did help a bit. Of course having a great lump of a dog with a fur coat on doesn't lend ambience to a good night sleep! I am back to eating almost normally a bit of reflux and indigestion but otherwise I think the withdrawal is almost complete. Have a lovely day everyone, I shall be hibernating in the flat with curtains closed and windows open and 4 large fans going throughout the flat, I have two in here now! God bless.

 

Thanks Shiney, No I do not direct the fan at my legs it is on the other side of the bedroom and
away from my side of the bed. It is oscillating around the room. I am managing so far to keep reasonably cool. But I should be walking Amber now and I do not really want to go round the flat closing windows and locking everything up before taking her out onto the green so I am going to hope she will go spend a penny in the garden and make do until the sun goes down later in the day.

 

Morning all, hope you are well.

Big thunderstorm passed through in the early hours, giving the garden a much needed soaking, hope it didn't scare too many of you. Mr Weatherman says more to come tonight!

My summer sniffles seem to be easing away, just in time for my last day at work for 9 days

I could do with the break, it has been an intense first month, but we will finish around 18 - 20% above target , therefore helping to justify my appointment.

Have a great day.

 

Good morning everyone,

All quiet on the Eastern front,no thunder as yet but the sky is looking ominous ...

Steve...Pleased to hear your cold has eased,just in time for your time off

I hope everyone is OK and coping with this heat,my it was hot yesterday I walked home from work (it's only round the corner) as my car had gone for it's MOT and was I glad to get in ...luckily the car passed but it needs a 'turbo something or other' I only remember Mr Loli mentioning it will cost £950...I don't like cars when they nee mending

The insurance assessor came about the kitchen and conservatory roofs,need complete new ones..by the time they'd finished checking everything you'd think the roofs had fallen in it wasn't that bad..many of the other things weren't necessary like a water mark on the shredder and 'damaged' magazines on the window sill...Why would anyone claim for thoseno wonder the premiums are sky high...the roofs are our main concern so told them to forget about the unnecessary things...

Annnnyway....where's that cup of tea?...last lap before my weekend off....

Take it easy everyone and take care

 

Morning early people

No work today, waiting for scaffold again

Gonna be rebuilding my old website for the new joint venture instead

Have a good day everyone and don't get impaled on a rake

 

Morning everyone,

Well what a storm overnight, it kept it up for hours. Still very muggy out there. Back to hibernating again with the fans on. Have a good day everyone, God bless.

 

You never did...at least I wear a dressing gown bet it was great though

As for the roofs ,waiting for a couple of quotes,we don't want them replacing as they are because being it a bungalow and the way they are now I have to climb out of the Dorma window to get to clean it and I aint as nimble as I was...we'll have to pay the difference ofcourse but it will be worth it...I was thinking if it's possible to have it flat round the edges and a 'pod' in the middle...I'm sure there's a more technical term for it...The kitchen roof needs replacing with a tiled roof as in bad weather it sounds like someone is shovelling gravel on the roof it's so noisy ...hopefully it shouldn't be a problem....famous last words

 

Thanks Shiney that's what I intend for the kitchen,my intentions for the main conservatory is lead around the edges (me thinking it will be more robust,enough to walk around and the 'pod' for the centre...a sort of Orangery..
If I had my time over I wouldn't have a conservatory,far too hot being south facing and even in the winter it's a pain cleaning the windows because of the sun on them..The plants all fry too...it's more for the extra space really which we've got used to but realistically isn't necessary
