cooee and g'day from me. {{{{spritey}}}} i have had a lovely day. just a small amount of clean laundry folded and put away. a bit achy after yesterdays session in the pool.
1:42 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend. Sounds good! Glad you took it a little easier today. Yay on the pool work!
1:43 am
grannyrose
i saw GP yesterday. left shoulder has calcification in the soft tissues, a normal reaction to inflammation and healing. surface roughness in joint... arthritis there.
1:43 am
sprite
hm, okay, not fun honey. Painful stuff.
1:44 am
grannyrose
also my noradrenaline levels are a little elevated... could be cause of high temps, sweats, high blood pressure.
1:45 am
sprite
what kind of effect has that on you?
1:46 am
grannyrose
see below. higher levels bring on ghastly headaches... touch wood... i don't have those. i think the next step may be an ultrasound of kidneys.
1:47 am
sprite
oh, sorry, I misread. I read 'because' in stead of 'cause'
1:48 am
sprite
I am glad your gp takes such good care of you. I need you to live healthily till at least 100.
1:51 am
grannyrose
gp and i were discussing how my shape is changing. like my shoulders and thighs. she hopefully asked have you lost weight? i said nope. we both collapsed into giggles.
1:52 am
sprite
you said so yesterday. I said it was because of all those muscles developing.
1:52 am
grannyrose
i refuse to allow scales and diet be ruling my life. too much stress
1:53 am
sprite
very wise. Just eat healthy, get a lot of exercise and judge the results by how your body changes.
1:58 am
sprite
that wasn't supposed to be a stopper ;)
2:00 am
rubyfoo
NOTHING LIKE STARTIJG WITH A SPOILER!
2:00 am

sorry... cruising the new chic site. it's bracelets are to die for.
2:00 am

hehehe I knew you were squirreling, honey.
2:01 am
grannyrose
bonjour chere ruby
2:03 am
grannyrose
gosh their palm bracelets are gorgeous...
2:03 am
sprite
I did all our finances yesterday, rose. Such a relief to be able to manage it all. *HUGSSSSSSS* I told Rob off again for not opening his mail. Sigh. He actually was questioning me about the bills from his therapist, that had not been payed... no wonder if they are still in the closed envelope, right?
2:05 am
grannyrose
lollll.... men.....
2:06 am
sprite
ikr? Sometimes I feel like they just cannot get cause and result in the right order, lol
2:07 am
sprite
I think I will give up on this. I am going to open all mail that enters the house, and not expect Rob to open his own bills anymore. He simply does not.
2:07 am
grannyrose
*giggle*
2:08 am
grannyrose
the only way my dear
2:09 am
sprite
I concur. Have been trying to stay loyal to the rule that you should only open mail that is addressed to you, but it is not workable. Cannot change the man... gotta change my actions :D
2:09 am
TraderKate
Thank you Dr. God and Lickery <3
2:09 am
sprite
hiya Kate! *hugs*
2:10 am

TraderKate
Hugs to rose, sprite, and ruby, if you're still here :)
2:11 am
sprite
how was your day, Kate?
2:14 am
TraderKate
Completely uneventful. didn't even step outdoors - just glared at the grey skies, cursing the approaching season...
and you... other than opening bills, that is. Nothin g to do but wait for the house to sell now, I guess?
2:16 am
sprite
*gives Kate an extra hug* Don't curse the season, hun, invite it in and make it welcome... it might surprise you ;)
No, we still have lots and lots to do. Still some closets to declutter and minimize the contents. Am dogsitting Caya's puppy, so lots of walks. Laundry Mount Washmore. And so on and so forth. Rob finished wallpapering the final wall the day before yesterday, so that job is done.
2:18 am
TraderKate
You're moving right along then! Nice to have a puppy in the house even if dog is not amused by foolish puppy. Laughing at Mount Washmore... :D
don't really mind autumn, but feel like I missed out on most of summer. Like the cool crisp days with the blue skies, but we have had drear glaring down at us for days now!
2:19 am
sprite
grey days on end are draining, I know. Maybe collect a bunch of truly red autumn leaves and put them in a vase... bring in colour and fire and stoke your inner flame that way
2:21 am
TraderKate
Haha.. out leaaves have not yet turned traitor ;)
(Well, one tree exceopted..)
I am hoping for a very tiny windfall to come in the mail soon.. and I may break my budget an go buy some wine - or even sherry, it's just the sort of weather for sherry!
2:22 am
sprite
oh that would be awesome, Kate! *fingers crossed for the windfall*
2:22 am
sprite
our rose is still lost in chic country, I believe.
2:23 am

2:31 am

2:33 am
TraderKate
You wear a lot of the same colours as I do rose, I wear a lot of red! It is my best colour <3
2:33 am
grannyrose
i have several pairs of brightly coloured pants. and the tops i have bought, some are plain colour, others patterned with a main colour.
2:35 am
grannyrose
i love the boho look, also the vintage retro look.
2:35 am
TraderKate
Do not go gentle into that good night...
bright colours are lilfe-giving!
2:36 am

A well to do hobo?
2:36 am

I am an autumn colour girl all the way. All the warm reds, oranges, browns, greens. And black, for contrast.

time for me to go walk the doggies. It is funny, indoors, Te5 moves as soon as Lewi comes near. But as soon as they are outdoors, he couldn't care less and just goes about his business.
2:39 am
grannyrose
xoxoxox sprite. good for te5. enjoy your day honey. remember little steps...
2:39 am
TraderKate
One is definitely his territory, and outside he's not so possessive aboutr?
2:39 am

*hugs Rose, Kate and Kam* A blessed day and a peaceful night, all.
*extra hug for rose, just because*
2:40 am
TraderKate
Kam is here?
2:40 am
sprite
nah, he is not possessive at all, he is simply not dominant in any way.
2:40 am
TraderKate
Have a good day sprite, enjoy your walkies :)
2:40 am
grannyrose
she is on-line.
2:40 am
sprite
Kam is lurking. She is not always in the mood to chat, but she usually reads along.
2:41 am

How are you doing as fall (ugh) approaches?
4:52 am
TraderKate
Is the rest of the day yours now that the nurses have had teir way eith you?
4:53 am
TraderKate
Ha! I've already had my daily moan about the changing of the weather :) Hoping for clearer skies as it's almost dawn now.
4:54 am
rubyfoo
Our weather continues to be perfect -- cool nights, Sunny warmish afternoons
4:55 am
TraderKate
And how about you? Are Ruf & Raf still as sweet as ever.. giving you lots of company?
4:55 am
rubyfoo
lt's very dry and my lawn crunches, but th*** ere still roses
4:56 am
TraderKate
Nice to have your garden brightening your day. How does it look, now that the gardener has taken out the trees and it's had a chance to fill in a bit?
4:56 am
rubyfoo
just hadmy third telemarketer call
4:57 am
TraderKate
rotten telemarketers! Driving you crazy, no doubt...
4:57 am

Still many trees and shrubbery, and the holly is trying to take over.
4:58 am
rubyfoo
l started by planting one small holly and now th*** are at least 6plants
4:58 am
TraderKate
:) It's always something - that will be next season's project.
4:59 am
rubyfoo
No, they're beautiful!
4:59 am

I like the holly, so pretty when not much else is going on in the garden :)
5:01 am

There is still a lot going on - lots of otheerflowers

roses doing nicely?
5:17 am
rubyfoo
The roses are wonderful and more are coming by post and Gilles, the gardener will plant them in a Week or so
5:17 am
rubyfoo
l had no id** that roses we** so easy to grow
5:21 am
TraderKate
Once they are established, they are pretty low maintenance ruby. just keep in mind that roses don't like wet feet ;)
What roses do you have coming in the post?
5:22 am
rubyfoo
l have no idea
5:22 am
TraderKate
what colour are they, white?
5:23 am
rubyfoo
l know Nothing except color and l have a very specific palette. The colors throughout the varikous flower beds have no yellow or orange(the day lilies dont give up)
5:24 am
rubyfoo
color range frompale pink, through every shade of pink, red, salmon and violet oh, nd blue
5:24 am
rubyfoo
Some white but not too much
5:24 am
TraderKate
Eventually you will get all the lilies,but they do dig in if they are happy
5:26 am
rubyfoo
lt's a little bit wild, like an English garden.
5:27 am
TraderKate
I thought I remembered you talking about white, maybe that was flowering shrubs? I keep the colour mixes separate too. Used to plant the cool colours where they got afternoon sun and the warm colours in morning sun. Funnily, I have always lived on North-South streets, so front/back might switch for sun exposurem but it made it easy.
5:27 am
TraderKate
I like that, not fond of an overly formal garden. I like things scrambling around a bit.
5:28 am
rubyfoo
Since l Don't get outmuch (gross understatement), others select many of the plants, not Always successfully
5:29 am
rubyfoo
And when they're happy, they multiply
5:31 am
TraderKate
You need a big bull horn thingy so you can sit on the terrace and "direct traffic" when the gardeneer comes. Did you mean select plants to be put in or removed?
5:31 am
rubyfoo
put in, l decide what goes out
5:32 am
TraderKate
ah, those lilies... tried to help a friend get rid of hers, it took 3 seasons of dedicated digging to get them all!
5:32 am
rubyfoo
l Don't mind, it's only a Week or so
5:33 am

please bear with me, but was just sent the following, which tickled my funny bone and have to share...
Why I quit golf:
Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed my clubs, slipped quietly into the garage and proceeded to back out into a torrential down pour. The wind felt as if it was blowing 50 mph.
I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 20 years replied: "Can you believe my stupid husband is out golfing in that crap?"
I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I have stopped golfing...
