We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

Been lovely here. I've been pottering and done 2 loads of washing and dried it. Lugged 3 suitcases of Xmas decs from storeroom down the land , that was a killer but Mr N is bah humbug and I am determined to have an Xmas. Put up my delicate glass ornaments which hand on glass cupboard doors. I've tidied and hoivered all through. Yes and I am aware that I should not. I've bathed and washed hair. But once I feel like it, I have to do it. So glad I feel like that. Of course now and totally boggered!! Hope Mt N is bring home a curry.

Right that's enough about me, can you really get enough of me!! :-)
I wanted to get to lidl today to get the LED white wax candles which work out about 8€ instead of 45€ in the local shop! But was not to be. I darent go out yet. I still get so tired.Been waiting all year to get them :-(

So how are you all doing? I am really amazed at how much woofy looks after her torts, very special torts I imagine.
Jno do you have pets? I do find mousey very tying now. I imagine how much cleaner and less sy my house would be. She's fine but old and misses her box occasionally!! Then I have to wash the box, the towel and the oilskin and just to be sure, the floor!!

no animals here, neti though jno jnr has always wanted a large dog. He will have to wait till he inherits.

Email from sis, she has just been to her hubby's office Xmas party. In Bermuda. Well, why wouldn't you. She is now having a little post-party unwind, in New York.

[woofgang]

as you do Jno.....
Neti you don’t really have a choice with torts, if you don’t care for them properly they die!

[netibiza]

I would happily go to any Xmas party no matter where! But when I

worked in some offices I hated Xmas parties and rarely bothered. One company that Mr n worked for in UK sent us all to Talk off the Town to see Patti Boulaye. That was a good 'in!

[netibiza]

Well what a turnout for the books. We been a asked id our wildlife junfle land can be used for a yoga/swimsuit photoshoot.

this your back yard, is it? Better make sure the pegs are lined up properly

[netibiza]

They are not touching my precious pegs!!
I feel so much better today, enjoyed my prawn curry, but tired now so going timekeeping.
Oight oight all

Good moaning...grey and a tad chillier again, yesterday was so mild.

I want whatever you're on neti, you've obviously perked up. Can't stop laughing at 'boggered', that's a Nottingham word. Our B&M sell led pillar candles, £5.99 for three....not much help to you though, sorry, just sayin'.

My 'ticulitis is giving me hell. Not sure what's sparked it off but it's a real misery making pain. Websites usually say go on a liquid diet for a couple of days, like I can afford to do that, I'll disappear. My GP said just eat normally within reason and the hospital consultant said not to overthink my diet, just avoid really rough foods. If it ain't one thing....

Hope you're all tottering on.

morning all, its chilly and misty here....must stir myself soon as I have LOADS to do.

[netibiza]

Good morning! I sleep in til 11 ish with these pills.
No idea about the weather as haven't opened the curtains yet because when I do the feral cats peer through waiting for Brekkie which Mr N forbids, so I have to think up some ingenious idea to get out there!
Poor Robin cant u take complan or something. I have my appetite back so ideas of me being swept and elegant for xmas have rapidly disappeared!

[netibiza]

Stupid predictive text i did type swelt.

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
Nice bright day after yesterdays gloom and rain.
Sorry you feel unwell Robinia .What about some porridge or scrambled eggs.They're easy to digest .Must be miserable for you.Hope it eases off soon.
I have lots to do but am getting nowhere fast .I spent some time yesterday writing cards , a couple of letters and some emails but my eyes glazed over after a while.I can't write as quickly and neatly as I used to with my fumbly fingers.
Better to have the appetite back Neti .I'm sure you''ll look fab ,all swept and svelte ..lol. I look anything but today.Still in dressing gown mode :)

[woofgang]

I have never been swelt in my life and not about to start now!

[netibiza]

Which should have been svelt!
We drove to the famous Anita's Bar in San Carlos for a simple shared pizza and a coffee! Was nice to be out. Home lounging in front of fire, very cosy! Bit tired now.

done nothing much and already it's dark. I did start watching the six wives of Lucy but all the reconstructions seemed awfully twee, especially since I watched Wolf Hall. I might try again when she gets to Jane Seymour.

[netibiza]

Yes jno I fell asleep in it.
Wow Mr Grinch has offered to buy a new xmas tree, mmmm wonder what is going on?? He doesn't like xmas.
