Sudokuaholics Anonymous 6

Hi all, it has been a lovely day

How do you do that June?

June, do you mean the weather or the company?

The girls have arrived and I assume they are safely in the hands of my mother... Now I can relax!

Suzy, saw the post number so posted before I went back and read 3 pages of comments.
Weatherwise it has been a lovely day. Went to lunch with hubby to nearby Rugby Club which is getting a very good reputation for good food at good prices.
Visited MIL
Then Hubby did the lawns while I cleaned up the back yard next door. They will be home tomorrow from a 75 day cruise.
We had a big lunch so now think of something easy for dinner.

Suzy, Glad the girls have arrived OK. Now you relax and enjoy that special time with hubby.

Puffs for dinner here, but none for me tho...maybe one or two!

Sounds like a bit of the weather and a bit the company then June.

Hubby has just arrived home and might get offended if I blow him off for the internet on our first kid free night so I had better go.

Have a great evening everyone!

You too Suzy.

Better go start said puffs or the natives will get restless.

I have finally caught up wit all the recent chatter. It has taken me an hour, but my memory being what it is I cannot remember names so. Anyone who is ill or had ops then I hope everything is getting better.
Today I was supposed to be having a workman free day, but the window fitter arrived later than he expected and it got too dark for him to finish the job last night, so he will be calling today to seal the window frame. The bathroom suite was delivered yesterday, minus the head rests for the bath they will be coming later. the plasterer still hasn't shown up to have a look at what he needs to do next week. I'm sure that everything will be lovely when it is done but I am fed up of all the dust.

Patience Luke, let the force be with you!

thank you for all the good wishes for Celia, she has finally been moved to the other hospital to go in to a specialist stroke ward. Now instead of a 10 min drive to see her I have one of 10miles and probably a couple of miles walk as there is never a parking place near the hospital.

How were the puffs Gail?

Hi Brenda, glad to see you had time to visit. i am sure you will be happy when all the work is finished. Hope Celia improves in the specialist hospital.

Very nice thank you Brenda.
I am just hiding over here for a little while, I messed up GMo's cp!

Bad news about the renos Brenda. I really think, going on all the experiences here in Sudokuland, that I will never, ever renovate anything!

Sending positive vibes for Celia's recovery.

Ian and Anne have arrive safely, everything is in readiness for tomorrow....NOT! But it will be alright on the night/day

MORNING SUDOKULAND

would someone who has smilies put the kettle and coffee pot on please?

YEAH, they came back after that post went through.

Have not read, I will run back and do that now and be back later, since no one is around at the moment.

Coffee sounds good right now MizT I've just popped in for a few minutes, mainly to keep up to date with chatter, don't want to get that far behind again.

Mariana, I think it is so neat your son likes buying his own clothes and will do a fashion show for you! I love to see a neatly dressed teen.

SUZY, I remember my Dad took my oldest off camping with family , at an early age, still car seat. it was only for a weekend and she was not on her own, as your girls are, so big difference. But I remember waving her goodbye!

GAIL, where did you and hubby have lunch? Oh the sacrifices we make for our children, taking them out to lunch, how tiring, NOT!

BRONI, make signs to show your guests the way . . . imagine that advice is too late now, sorry!

RUBY used the C word first and brought me back to reality. Here I thought it was still summer! Well, this morning removed that idea also, temps down to 8C, 46F, a bit chill start for today seems more like December!

Eaa, did not recognize you this morning, miss the furry little nose. Your new critter will take some getting accustomed to. I never seem to be around when you are, was hugging my pillow still then.

HI BRENDA, still about?
I am reading the posts I missed overnight. one more page to go

Still here, popping off to do little bits around the house and then back on to computer

Waiting around for a baked potato to finish in the microwave then I'm going to have my lunch. No one else in the house apart from the dog and me so having lunch and watching tv for a few minutes.

Blackberries, it does not take long for those to take over! here the best time to spray them is spring, when new growth starts. They take in the chemicals through the new leaves better and take straight to roots and die off. We fight an ongoing battle with blackberries. Hubby thinks mowing them down will end them. Hubby is wrong.

BEAN, birds made a mess of my concrete drive and sidewalk back when, after eating the purple berries of the lirope, monkey grass, or the purple berries of polk salad plant.

SUZY, a horse in the house if a bit much! Glad she stopped short of entering.

OH, took me a minute to realize you were talking about someone else's husband, SUZY,

SOUP sounds just the ticket now, anyone have a breakfast soup recipe? it will be warm and sunny at dinner time and about when the sun heats up the house too warm. I refuse to have heat in the AM and AC in the PM, so for a few days i am cool mornings and warm just before dusk.

Brenda, when I am alone meal time, I often have meal at the computer, read and eat, Drives hubby mad, leaving crumbs in the keyboard hehehe

Hubby just up, I shall have a cup of coffeee with him I think, catch all later

Maen all! Thanks for the coffee MzT. Looks like I missed ya-all while I read what I had missed.
Thanks to all for your well wishes for Mike. He was doing pretty well yesterday. Didn't take a pain pill until bedtime. I suspect his had will be more sore today...but he's not awake yet for me to report on.
The hardest part of all this so far is how he's having to get use to living with one arm - and his non-dominant hand. Right now it's a bit of a novelty to him...I'm sure that will wear off into a cranky mood soon enough!

Heidi - so sorry you've got the cold - yuck! Nice for you to be able to have the place to yourself, tho.
Becky - no worries re: name snaffu...I knew who you meat and have empty head syndrome, so have no room to complain about anyone!

meat = meant hehehe!

Suzy - glad the girls made it to your mum's safely...now enjoy!!!
Gail - I dub you Queen of Lunch!
Broni - so glad work internet is back up to speed. Enjoy the fun with Ian and Anne. I will get my local Aussie friend to translate for me!

Rolanda - I have always wanted to take off during the "C" holidays for weeks - I'm oh-so-jealous!!!
Brenda - your reno is moving along so much faster than ours. Can't wait to see your pictures.
Mariana - have seen pictures of your handsome son and can only imagine how GQ he looks!
June - take it easy with all that gardening girl!
It does feel good to get those weeds out - today I mow the lawn and go to war on the moles and gophers who are reeking havoc in my yard!

HI VICI, back from coffee, his helper arrived on time so coffee cut short

Ooooow! A CP - yippee for me!
MzT - you sound like you are doing very well - must be because you were such a good patient who didn't have to be NAGGED!
Bean - you cracked me up with your RR stories!
Eaa - so great to have your somewhat nekid nose gracing our pages and congrats on the TOPP!
Rolanda - forgot to mention how stunning those irises are - you sure have a green thumb, girl!

Hi Tricia - just thought I was hear talking to myself!!!

Nope, the 2 of us it appears. Good luck with the moles and critters.

I still must remember to visit Rolanda's walking Iris photos. she had one on her MSN avatar, which are larger avatars than outs here, so I got a nice preview.

I have been warring with them all summer - it has been so dry that they have taken over my landscaping! Never had them before - it's making me crazy! Only caught one with a trap so far...don't know if the poison has worked on any of them. After I use it (which is WAY too expensive) there is no activity for a bit, then they seem to come back. Very frustrating!

Any chance we will make the jump? I need another TOPP - my tally is very low!
