Hi Dita and all

[vannin]

Good morning everyone. It is quite hazy here in Bucks. I think we are to expect dry conditions today followed by rain tomorrow. The family will come for two nights after the weekend, on their way to Devon, where they are expecting it to be the usual non-heatwave weather! I am taking them out for lunch to celebrate both their birthdays, the s-I-l before holiday and daughter's during it. Charlie, who will be five in October, is well used to eating out and usually wants some of everything!

Good morning Penny, Vannin, Mo and all popping in, its good to have company again, isn't it Penny?. Mo I do wish you all the luck in the world over your knee operation, I know that my cousin only had one done because of severe trouble with other joints being out of line due to disfigured joints in his legs, I guess it depends if a person is suitable to withstand the op on both at once. You are as bad as me with birthdays all coming together Vannin, I have 5 in July. Enjoy the birthday treat. Penny little dog feeling the heat today so walkies cancelled, hugs to you are not cancelled however, and extra big one on the way Take Care Penny and all out there.xx

Morning Dita and All. Lovely that this forum is up and popping again. I kept thinking of the old term, ' Use it or Lose it. ' Sounds like a busy weekend for you and family Vannin, hope all goes well and weather stays good. Wish thefolks, Happy Birthday from us all. I expect Mo, is away now. She is a brave one tho'. Sorry about walkies doggie, keep paws crossed, won't belong tho' according to the weather man. Hubby doing odd jobs today, me, who knows. Think I will go and dance with Fred Astaire. ha ha. Prepared a couple of loaves earlier on, our chappie is coming to do some to tidying up in the garden, too dry to cut the grass. Have a good day all and take care. Extra hugs today. cheers Penny

Hi, all - It's pleasant and sunny here but not yet too hot. My bath towels are outside on the line; shouldn't be any problem to get them dry.

Good luck, Mo, with the knee job. I'll be interested to hear of your progress as my OH has to have this done,but he's having them done one at a time. It'll probably be next year anyway because he recently had a leg infection and they won't operate until that's been completely healed for at least 3 months. Enjoy your weekend, everybody

Thank you all for your kind replies. I hope all those that are poorly are soon up and about and feeling a lot better.

Morning Dita and all, quite sunny so far but storms promised this p.m. Nothing planned, just playing it by ear today. Take care all, have a good weekend, big hugs for doggie. cheers Penny

Morning Penny and all, weather same here, and apart for a clean up thats already been accomplished, nothing planned. Doggie sends big hugs to you, she didn't linger long with walkies today, bit warm for her, she has lots of fur to carry around. Keep thinking about Tuesday, enjoyable visit to Dentists, they do seem to come round quick. Hope your neck ok, Keep your chin up:) Take Care too Penny and all.

Hello all. So where is this dire weather we were told to expect, arriving from France, to hit the South-East first? Here in Bucks, it is warm, dry, sunny, like the other days of the heatwave - which was forecast to finish today.

Just looked up the online BBC f/cast, and it shows, for South Bucks, heavy rain from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. That should help the garden. But not good for flat areas that might flood.

Just saying the same, very sunny and hot here so far. Not grumbling, will get plenty of the cold stuff later on. Just lacking energy so taking it easy.Take care. cheers Penny

Hi all.
As from tomorrow I will be near St Osyth with my youngest daughter Lisa, granddaughter Amelie 6 and great Granddaughter Madison 8. Staying for 4 days in one of my Granddaughter's caravan. Hope the weather stays good. Then home and preparing to go into hospital for 6th August.
So hot. Got all the fans going. AC has packed up in my car and too late to get some put in. Just hope we don't have any long holdups.

[Penny]

Have a lovely time Mo, think it will cool down somewhat for you. Take care, cheers Penny

[vannin]

Morning all! Well, the rain came at 6.30 p.m. but only for two hours - unlike the local forecast! No storm either. Warm again this morning.

Good luck, Mo, with the knee job. I'll be interested to hear of your progress as my OH has to have this done,but he's having them done one at a time.

I'll be interested to follow your progress too Mo ... My hubby had his left knee done 9 weeks ago and is still struggling & in pain.
On the other hand a woman in my aqua aerobics class had one of her's done - no need for pain killers & driving after three weeks!

Good luck with it Mo ... It will be hard for you but best to get it over in one go...

Good morning Penny and all, including Caroljoyce, we had a little rain, by the look of big black clouds above it will be opening up here shortly.Still very mild. Nothing planned today, A doggie walk on the cards thats for sure, not before sending big big hugs to you Penny . Its amazing how many people are having new knees these days,its almost as popular as the ammount of folk going around with new hips. Take Care of yourself Penny, and all.

Morning Dita and all, Lovely to have doggie hugs early in the morning. Big ones from me back. We had some rain yesterday, started at 5.50 lasted about three minutes. Then later we had quite a lot. Not for too long tho, Sunny, nice and warm this morning. Hubby decided lunch out today so will have a lazy time, I think, Take care all and enjoy whilst you can. cheers Penny
