I am very rarely aware that I’ve dreamed let alone remember what I’ve dreamed but I’ve just had a fascinating dream about trying to save fish in a nearby polluted river. For some reason one of the Elite and I met up to work out how much vinegar was needed to save the fish. (I cleaned my kettle yesterday with white vinegar…) We realised it was an unrealistic amount and while we were talking saw various other people who were also Elite members. Then we all ended up having breakfast together round a big table in a restaurant. Many of us had a tortilla sandwich!!!
Good morning, bit of drizzle here currently, grass turning yellow so any moisture welcome 👍. Received this book the other day:
I don’t usually read books, but this one will come with me to the Peak District next week 🐾🥾⛰️. We’re about halfway thru replacing 30 fence panels, so garden is a bit of a state. Dog has been really good, not running away at all 😆. Hope everyone has a good day!
We have rain in almost biblical quantities here at the moment so everywhere out there is going to be very soggy for a while! Managed to get a good long walk in before it started although it was touch and go as the sky was very dark grey and threatening.
That book looks like it will be a good read, poundsinbucks. Do let us know what you thought of it when you have read it.
Torrential rain then beautiful sunshine now grey clouds and its not that warm
DS and family arrived safely at their holiday destination yesterday Sadly one case is missing It contains GS meds and almost all of DIL clothes I did not say why were the meds in the case and why were the clothes not packed across the various suitcases. I said I hope it turns up today
Cant decide what to do today
DH is going out with his two pals tomorrow They are the ones who lost their wives just before Christmas DH keeps saying they are fine. I keep saying he must make more effort to contact and be there for them They are NOT fine They cant be ok after 50+ years and now alone
They all started primary on on the same day so a looooooong lasting friendship Folk(men) not wanting to share emotion
Just thinking this morning that we haven't heard from freewheeling for a while. I bet she is having such a good time on their amazing adventure. Hope all is well with them.

I thought about her the other day as I know she had been in contact with JTS and I wondered if she had heard anything from him.
Ds surgery went ok , I got called to the recovery room he was "distressed" 6ft 4 ripping out the canula and throwing punches the wee aneastatist was scared! Mums hugs calmed him, glad it's over
Dental appointment this afternoon, pocket should be a bit lighter when I get back!
Rather peeved with Royal Mail - My international letter (an envelope with a credit card size piece of plastic inside) arrived in the Uk on 17th June. Royal Mail is saying that it's in customs. I've spoken to HMRC customs and they say that it cleared customs without any issues and is waiting for Royal Mail to deliver. Nothing works anymore ...

I want to know what the Elite lot look like ? Could be very interesting 😁
So they have replied saying want a copy of the bank statement to prove it was paid online...... help me god, I have already sent a copy of the transaction to them, they said if they dont receive it then the parking charge still applies.
So I will send again.... are people stupid or dam right incapable of looking....
Oh nowt special tweets just house selling shenanigans🙄, the saga continues -----. I might see if someone will make a film out of it, not sure who I would like to play me 🤔
Just been reliably informed by a 4 year old that pirates don’t say “aye aye”, it’s actually “eye high” because you put your hand to eye high when you salute 😂

I should clean the two kettles that I have got. The second one - bought, never again. They were both bought when they were fairly cheap - in fact I've just now had a "crikey" moment because I've just checked the supermarket's website and, even on a current offer of three pounds off what is supposed to be the regular price (it's called a reference price) - I've no idea whether it is a long-held regular price now as I haven't been watching them - even on current "great offer" price they are twice as expensive, or nearly twice as expensive (were they £5.50?), as they used to be. The element of the original one got damaged and therefore I bought the second, identical make in order to be able to use both. People may tell me about repairs, just buying the element part alone etc., it was just simpler to buy a new kettle (at least when they weren't as high priced as now!). The second one I just managed to scrape in by a short time before either the item went out of stock and then wasn't available to order or else it had risen by what was a significant percentage back then from its original price that I nabbed it at. All these earlier prices now look really cheap compared to today's offer.
I now realise I've probably picked up on an aside in the original post and missed the whole point - sorry about that, my attention was drawn to the small bit about the kettle given what happened to mine and I'm now actually reading all the parts of the post around that part for what I should have read.

Im getting really fed up now with trying to sell.
We have a couple really interested in ours, they have not sold either, have had offers on there but apparently not enough....
I am bored now, and said just to put a shed at the top of the garden for the office instead.

I've just asked my caree a question (unrelated to kettles, fish, restaurants or friends) and I didn't get the answer "Yes". I got the answer "Yes alright" instead, meaning No.
See I know what people mean. After I've had to check whether it was the case. My independent verification - didn't get it from them, instead I had to physically go and look for it myself and see that hadn't actually got what I'd asked, as I expected from their vague failure to give a straight yes (it was elsewhere in the house).
I wish they'd just tell me no and save me from having to look - and it's *not* "alright", because they hadn't got it!
However, I've just asked them again if they've got it now (a few more minutes has now got past) and, this time, with them just outside the door to my room, they've told me a straight yes. We are now fine (just don't tell me things are "alright" when they're not!).

you caught the inflection? awesome!! a begrudging "if i must"
Well, home from the dentist £281 lighter (I'd paid £25 for the checkup previously). Surprised to have a white crown as I was expecting a metallic one, but maybe because it's near the front of my mouth?
Surprisingly good result from our doctor today: I asked to make an appointment for WiFi out of school hours, and she's seeing a GP at about of hours surgery on Sunday morning. I need to see a doctor about something, so I have the following appointment 10 minutes later. Then we can probably go somewhere for lunch ...
