Off to Coventry today to see the family minus Eve of course who is in Japan . Apparently there are loads of photos being sent, I think by the teacher. They are probably on a special webpage. Anyway they spoke to Eve yesterday, she looks amazingly happy but is tired from a very packed programme. We a...

Packing today for a week in Brittany, closing everything up for the winter and hopefully seeing Roland settled in his new home.

Bob enjoyed his read . I have given him your invite to the shed Eve arrived safe and well with the other 9 Coventry Ambassadors . They were met by the media, photos show a happy but tired group. I think they will be ready for their beds tonight having lost a nights sleep. They arrived midnight our t...

I will Stanley. Bob guessed it was a beam engine. Late reading this today, it was all excitement in the Smith ( nee Hayter) and Hayter households this morning. Messages and photos going backwards and forwards between the two from Birmingham airport at 6.00 am as Eve ( aged 10) was off on her Japanes...

I had mine this year at the pharmacy in Tesco. I was invited into the private room whilst I was collecting my regular monthly fix. Lovely lady - couldn't refuse really. I hadn't bothered for a couple of years so I did it. Good service - all explained, and she said they would notify my GP. Zero afte...

I could not find the bedding I wanted in our local Dunelm so came home and ordered it online to be collected from the same shop today. That gives me time to wash and dry it before our short trip to France next week, to close up the house. We shall finish the garden tidying and see Roland, before ret...

I sewed yesterday afternoon and made my lurex trousers. Today is the hospice shop this afternoon and pilates and yoga this evening. This morning I want to go to Dunelm, they have some nice bedding, ideal for our twin bedded room in France, then I can throw away the spare bedding which is er rather o...

Yes I have heard of people replacing screens for iPads. I will plod on for the time being but it is an option

This morning is a trip to the hairdressers, and this evening art. Otherwise no exact plans just a few ideas floating around in my head.

Its the iPad stanley which is a pressure pad in the tablet. When we asked the experts they said get a new ipad. Not the answer I wanted . Yesterday I did the new toile for Bobs shirt, it looks better, fingers crossed it fits better. This morning claire and family will come before Erins swimming, thu...

We are off to Oswaldtwistle mills sewing centre this morning. My friend from France brought a broken sewing part over and I said I would take it to see if Keith could repair it or give some advice. Its from an old machine and not the make he sells but he has always been very obliging. Other than tha...

Craft today, and something a little different from the usual card making and such. I am doing tile mosaic on a terracotta plant pot, which I will later plant up with hyacinths for Christmas. Then its the usual Friday lunch with friends. Later I may cut out the new toile for Bobs shirt. Maxine and I ...

Just a short walk but very picturesque, love the scenery round here

You're right Sue on tree colours and 'bonfire weather'. It's November! Yesterday afternoon I rang the surgery and asked why I had not been called for a flu jab. The lady told me that the culprit was vaccine supplies, they have been coming in in dribs and drabs from the NHS. She booked me for a slot...

Pedicure for me this afternoon. This morning I shall potter. Bobs new shirt pattern has come and it needs tracing and cutting out, then its lunch with my old sewing group. This evening is pilates and yoga. Aren’t the trees beautiful. I love autumn colours and this year they seem even more vibrant. I...

Yesterday seemed very long. Claire came early as Erins swimming lesson had changed. They were all gone by 11.30 and Bob by 12.30. I changed the bed, and finished my washing and ironing. Following a try on of the toile, I have abandoned the shirt toile and sent for a different pattern, one that is de...

I have had a problem lately with further Sciatica after having a ruptured disc removed in May. Not sure what is going on... Saw my GP, who was going on holiday ( and so are we) so GP and I are both hoping that time will heal. We will review when we are both back from holiday. No treatment. Must gri...

I have been saying that for months. Its not the wine

By the way, I apologise for my numerous typos of late but I seem to have a faulty keyboard on my ipad. Random spaces appear between letters and often the wrong letter appears. I get tired of doing corrections

Busy day yesterday. We went over to Burnley cemetery to put flowers on Mums and Dads grave. In the first week of November we usually visit as it is the anniversary of the death of both of our Mums on the 4 th and Bobs Dad on the 8 th. Then we went into Burnley to do a bit of shopping calling at Oakm...

Not a job I would like! I do love the view from the top though.

This came up on my Facebook page as a memory of 7 years ago today. What a coincidence this was exactly the same walk we did on Wednesday also, 30 th October. The colours were just as beautiful in Healey Dell. I love that place and not 400 yards from home.

Eye much much better. Asthma clinic this morning, then art then the usual Friday lunch with friends. It was a strange day yesterday as my only normal activity was yoga at 8.00 pm. Thus I did washing, ironing, sewing, sitting, drinking tea, and did a little sewing experiment. I have never been happy ...

I've forgotten what 'ache' is. I think that's because I do it at low level all the time. I only recognise pain! Everything else is just 'feeling'. I'm pleased to say that at the moment I haven't got any. I am active all the time but I find my activities vary considerably and in blocks so no yoga et...

Beautiful morning, beautiful views, 4.2 miles in about 95 minutes, just enjoying the walk. Healey Dell looked so pretty with the trees changing colour. I ached on those stiles though after 3 yoga/pilates sessions this week . The first in nearly three weeks. It really gets my right hip. I know I am g...

I will Stanley, I wear glasses all the time and they react to light to double as sunglasses.
