Sounds like you are pacing yourself Deedee which is a good idea
We had a lovely afternoon in the garden after our walk this morning, we did have lunch at the local cafe, l had a chicken salad wrap which was delicious
Alex is back home now and we're enjoying a mostly quiet evening after Henry went down early
Hope you had a nice time at your Mums Pluto

DeeDee well done on your bargains. Hopefully you will have renewed energy and vigour for Cleethorpes tomorrow!
Your day sounds good too Rainbow. Alex has a great trip to look forward to and you will get a longer sleep.
Ditto, plants usually do well on balconies. are you moving them all?
I managed to do the loft by myself today and got loads more boxes up there and felt pleased with myself. the trip to see mum was initially ok and H painted her nails and Antonia was sweet. the new live in carer was supposed to arrive by 3.30 but was very delayed by trains not running so mum was getting agitated. The carer there had arrived at about 7.30 this morning and left at 6.45. We ended up leaving at 6.30 so it was a 4 hour visit rather than a two hour visit. S was exhausted after being up all night with mum but had a sleep whilst we were there. if this agency doesn't work out then it's back to the care home. mum just wants to be with dad so it was stressful.
I'm shattered now but am hooked on Ragnarok on Netflix so might squeeze another episode in!

Hey!
Lol, lost a day! Sunday sped by, Mindy came early for Gabe, borrowed my little car, and took him to the empty parking lot of the local mall. He did well, mostly practiced starting and stopping, making turns. He has 8 hours of driving with an instructor coming up in a month or so, but Mindy wants him to have some practice. They were back to drop the car off around 10, and the rest of the day went quickly! It's been really dry and hot,after days of rain, and I'm back to watering all the plants. Today, B and I went to Harrah, first time in a long time, we usually go to the Gulf Coast. B had a nice win, so that improved the visit considerably, lol!
Pluto, I wish I'd have asked my grandparents and parents about their lives! Really nice that your mom had a chance to visit with her sister!🤗 I hope the carer works out for them. Congrats to A for passing her exam! 😻
Rainbow, poor A, maybe not wanting to relinquish his gran to Henry! A trip to Worcester should be fun! I loved visiting there when we went to see PK! Beautiful cathedral, cool shopping area! I hope you get a good sleep!
Deedee, I hope you're enjoying your day out! It's always ok to say, too much, and just pamper yourself!
Ditto, I hope you're doing more garden enjoying, than garden struggling! Is your son still at the flat? I hope so, I mailed your birthday card there! Do you prefer your postcards to be postmarked, or new?
Ensemble tomorrow, Gabe will probably come over for the night, will see if he wants to see Cruella with me on Wednesday!
Hugs all...take care!

Morning Happy June M, hurrah for the win at Harrah! How exciting that Gabe is learning to drive. you can look forward to him picking you up and taking you places in the future. I wish I had asked my parents and grandparents so much more. It makes me sad to think about those lost opportunities. Back to work today but at least it's only a three day week. I'm not in the mood for it though. I hope you all have a lovely day

Hope you had your sunhat and cream on Rainbow! We just went to collect a chest of drawers that h has bought for Antonia's room but despite me checking measurements it wouldn't fit in the car. I offered to take the girls home and go back for it but the man and lady selling it insisted on bringing it down to their flat. Then the downstairs neighbour came out to initially move his bike from the hallway but then carried it upstairs and it's heavy! There are some very kind people around The seafront is still busy and vibrant and it feels very holidayish. I must get a postcard for someone Antonia was in the sea today but only paddling as H won't go in. It's such fab weather for half term You gotta be careful in this heat Ditto. easy to overdo it when we are not used to it. It's such a shame about your birthday bbq but I hope you can have it for son's birthday. Mum doesn't seem to be scared of dying. She's ready to go. good luck on the euro millions!

Had a productive afternoon of weeding and E planted a rose which had outgrown the pot
Henry loves being outside, he had a blanket in a shady spot and was very happy
Well done B for the win, did he share Marilyn?
We are so lucky living by the sea Pluto, that was very kind all round for the helpers, hope H is feeling better after her vaccine now, where did she have it? A had his today and had to go to the Brighton Centre for it
Shame about your birthday plans Ditto, is it because the garden isn't ready? Maybe you could get some family help with it?
Hope you've had a good day Deedee

Hey! Usual Tuesday, good ensemble, then Gabe came home with us. We watched the musical episode of Buffy for our entertainment, he liked it! Going to try to go to the movies tomorrow... Pluto, very nice to have help all around! 😎 One work day down, two to go! Has the new carer started in Bognor yet? Ditto, driver’s ed is mandatory for teenage drivers to get their license, most public schools offer it as a course. Gabe’s didn’t, Mindy had to pay a nice size fee. We don’t have the local and convenient transportation that you all do. The bus route is about a half mile from us, and the frequency and places they go are limited. No tube, we’d need submarines! 🤗😅 Rainbow, sounds like good days there! Has your daughter relaxed a bit since you’re there? Going home Thursday? B always shares! 🥰 Got to ask...do any of you watch Holyoak? Think that’s how it’s spelled? Pops up on my video feed all the time...lots of drama!? Take care all! Hugs!

Morning Do you mean Hollyoaks M? I did about 20 years ago I loath all soaps now. Our driving lessons are really expensive. I should probably start saving for Antonia now. We do have good transport apart from some rural areas where it is needed but have way too many cars on the roads for the size of our country. I hope Gabe does well with his. Then of course it's the cost of a car, the road tax, insurance, petrol, MOT, repairs. It's ongoing. The new carer has started but there are developments so watch this space. I haven't watched that Buffy episode for a long time but it's one of the best. My DVD's are still in a box as I have nowhere to put them at the moment. I will have to introduce Antonia to Buffy at some point in the future. She's just getting into Queen at the moment which is good. H said another band too but I can't remember which. In my car she always asks for The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack! I have a real live team meeting today. I had forgotten about it till it was mentioned in a group chat. I could have been sitting at my computer waiting for the video link Have a lovely day

Hi everyone hope you are all ok I'm better than I was yesterday when I arrived home I felt sick again , I think this car makes me car sick I may pluck up courage to phone Motability and ask if I can replace it with a normal car with a hoist in the boot for the chair because this one, now I've driven it a few time is too big for me and I always feel sick and worn out when I've been on a long journey just not today because I'm waiting for someone from council to check electrics every five years they said. Let battle commence! Who is viewing that S**T!!!!! ? I'm guessing the Masked Dancer ? I watched the end to see who it was hugs to everyone

No but I do have it recorded DeeDee 🤣 I meant all the views for those illegal posts that come through. I'm not giving them the satisfaction, not that they would know or care anyway.
My sister had to change her last motorbility car as it didn't suit her when she was still driving. I hope you can have something more suitable for your needs.

We had our team meeting at the main office outside in the courtyard with trees, shrubs, benches and picnic tables. Paul the manager had ordered a load of pizza's for lunch too! It was a good meeting! Rainbow hope you enjoyed the pamper. I want to paint my toe nails but I'm too fat and inflexible to reach Ditto it's so frustrating when viewing doesn't go to plan! Hope you had a good day.

That sounds lovely Pluto, you would have been very disappointed to miss it
My toes look lovely, l splashed out for gel polish so should last 6-8 weeks although when they grow too much l'll have to have them re-done
I took Henry for a long walk on the way back to keep him asleep and have just been in the garden with E cutting back some of the trees with my loppers and pulling up more weeds, definitely coming home for a rest!
I can't wait to sort out my summer clothes, l didn't pack well for the weather at all

Hey!
The movie was pretty good, A Quiet Place part II, I like Emily Blunt. The theater is still leaving seat gaps, and it was no where close to being crowded. Gabe and I are gearing up for a two day trip to the Hollywood casino in Sunday. They have a pool and lazy river that Gabe can use, and on Monday we'll go to the water park.
I didn't realize that Hollyoaks was a soap, although considering the drama, it makes sense! I wonder why it pops up on my video feed? Rainbow, how's Henry doing? Chest clearing up? Hope you get some time for yourself!
Pluto, that meeting sounds like the kind you'd want...outdoor and food!
Ditto, I hope you get to catch up on the program you wanted to watch! Too bad about the birthday plans, but I'm sure you'll still have a good day!
Deedee, there was no way you could have known that the car wouldn't work, have to drive it awhile. I hope it gets sorted for you.
Take care all...hugd!

Morning M, I don't know that film at all but it must be great to get back to seeing films on the big screen. I think the first film we will see is going to be Black Widow. We could do with a water park here! Good to see you planning these trips with Gabe again Rainbow how is Henry today? Did he require any medication? Always check the weather forecast before a trip lol! It's cloudy today and we have rain coming tomorrow so I will probably be home based with Antonia. I'm feeling very slow and sluggish this morning. It was hard to get up. Happy Thursday
