Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024

Found you.
My new avatar, photo taken on a walk this morning, trying to clear my head after yesterday.
I must say the welcome here has been amazing

 

Thanks @LeadFarmer. I’ll investigate.

 

It is, isn’t it @Punkdoc ? I was Red Maple on GW.

 

Xx

 

Thank you @LeadFarmer ... he's continuing to do amazingly well ... astounding the medics ... he's back at Broomfield Burns Unit this afternoon for some laser work on some of the scarring, but he's back working all the hours there are ... tough as old boots obviously ... there are times when he can sleep for England, but he's always been like that and it's a useful ability to have for folk who, like him, work in the entertainment business involving touring and late nights etc.

 

I was avoiding saying that my brother-in-law, husbands oldest brother was /is (not sure the word I would use) Until, as he just drove in, he decided to run his car on top of my WHITE crocus I have in a drift on the lawn. We have a long driveway, lots of room. I told him to move. SMH. So he is that "word". Not the first time he does nutty stuff. Don't know how he was raised. I have to watch him when here. Thank goodness not to often he visits. And used to tell him to wash his hands before eating all the time, he's better now. SMH.

 

Gorgeous photo @Punkdoc .... good to see you here. And look, there's @Flumpy ... that's a face I know

 

Oooh @redstar … I’d not be best pleased with that

 

Pleased to hear he is doing well

 

That's great news @Dovefromabove. Hope you enjoy driving it, what colour is it?

 

It’s white @lizzie27 just like my last car

 

Just saying hello on here as a new member and I wish to echo @Dovefromabove in saying that I hope established members don’t mind us newbies joining your chatty thread here. I am starting to post on some other threads too and hope to share and learn with everyone on this fab forum.
Thanks again to all have said welcome.

I the spirit of your thread here, my news today is I’m home from work and have just collected my new glasses . I have some snazzy prescription sunglasses too so that will help me with gardening and wildlife spotting when the sun finally arrives!

 

Hello @AuntyRach , @lizzie27 , @Punkdoc and @Dovefromabove , looks like we’re all settling in nicely after being so warmly welcomed

 

ALL newcomers here from one of the longest members here ... and one who lives in peace and serenity in almost forever sunshine. I actually started this thread many moons ago and please feel free to come on here, morning, noon, or night and say what you have to say.

Enjoy, Vicky xx

 

Thank you @Victoria … that is so kind of you … I think we’re all feeling a bit shell-shocked, and a comfy chair, a cuppa and a friendly face really does help.
I’ve had a pretty horrendous twelve months, and although a forum closing down would normally seem such a small thing, the thought of losing touch with folk who have supported me through the worst of times began to feel like the last straw … and Im usually a pretty tough cookie … so thank you all for making the world a better place again
