You obviously do not have a dog.

I want one - but SWMBO pleads allergies

but if we did it would be VERY well fed when the kids come round!!!

And I thought I was taking the healthy option for our grand daughters...pancakes are a favourite at breakfast. Flour milk and an egg...seems so natural compared to factory produced breakfast cereals. Can't win can you ?. 😀

Nowt unhealthy about pancakes, so long as you remember to be generous with the sugar.
Ohh.....
And the honey.
Ohh
And the ice cream. Chocolate flavour is the most healthy.

I had a little blip on the diet on Saturday, but with what I am going through I expect that from time to time. I have lost a few stone and dropped from xl to medium, still a bit to go. Odd how it is only overweight people who tell me I do not need to lose any more.

Gorgeous day for us.

A strange one here.
Sue and I had tablets and every morning we would compete for quickest to do Wordle.
Since she died I have not been able to even switch my tablet on.
A hour ago I put it on charge. I need to put the new Virgin password in so as to get online. My goal is to do Wordle again (without crying too much, like I am while typing this).
Is this a glimmer of the light at the end of the tunnel I was promised ?

Good morning all.
We are off to our Son's new place this morning near to Chesham. Where we are going to walk through the woods to a local pub for lunch. And of course back again.
MrsP starts a floristry course this evening at Capel Manor college. She has always like flower arranging.

Chesham and Capel Manor both bring back memories.

I am still working through the list. I have not even been able to look at tomato sauce since Pam went. I have, however, managed to go into the lounge in recent weeks and sit down. That was a battle, though. Yes, I am also crying whilst writing this. I am not sure when I will be able to pass her things on. I am giving her car a clean today prior to it going in for an MOT tomorrow.

My/our daughter was very good and helpful. I asked her to go mad and clear all Sue's things out (and she had a lot of clothes). Daughter did well tbh.
I gifted Sue's car to my daughter (sold it for one pound). I sat in the passenger seat on Friday as SiL drove to the chippy.

You have great family there Dave.

Good nearly lunch time. Today small person #2 is here for the first time. This involves Granddad collecting her from north Manchester at 8.00/8.30. Set off at 7.15. M61 horrific. ☹️ An excellent morning so far and she is now Zzzzzzzzz

Mrs P had a consultant appointment this morning. Better news. Her cancer has a particular genetic variation meaning she will not need chemotherapy for the moment. Her treatment will be with an anti-body drip once every two weeks plus a daily tablet. There will be side-effects but far less than chemo - probably acne and tiredness. Bloody teenagers!!! This will hopefully give her around four months of quality life before chemo is necessary. That's a boost. Small but a boost.

Yes, I have to agree with that.
None of us are perfect (apart from possibly me ) but we are all working together on this.

Good news Paul. I am certain we are all with you at this time.

Following on from the news that anyone who keeps even 1 chicken as to register them, I read somewhere that people made the You Gov website crash. Pranksters registered rubber chickens, and chicken nuggets as pets.
