Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning one and all, i hope its a good day whatever you might be doing. I will likely watch the women's Wimbledon finals later on, should be a good match.
Apart from that no plans, except chasing the couriers yet again for non delivery of an item, oh joy.... i wish they would give out correct info on their deliveries, as i am wasting too much time waiting, something i am not good at.

[emmie]

on to Sunday i wonder who will win in the football, i can't watch as my nerves get frayed watching them play, but i hope they win obviously. Men's singles at Wimbledon too, that should be another good match - the Italian who won at Queens looks to be on top form, look out Djokovic, could be a big upset.

Good morning, Emmie.

I can't think of much that I'll be doing today except for
(a) sleeping ; and
(b) trying to catch three cats to put flea treatment on the back of their necks.

morning Chris

[emmie]

that will be fun i am sure - putting flea treatment on the puss cats is a major headache. i remember doing that to my cat, oh Lord what a fuss.
i have had enough sleep for now, will see how the day pans out.

[Buenchico]

Is there some tennis and footie on this weekend then? I won't be watching either of them!

If all women's cricket was as good as this (from yesterday's T20 international game at Northampton), I think I might watch a bit more of that though ;-)

(That's an amazing catch, given that she'd only need to touch the boundary marker with her foot, with the ball in her hands, for it to be 6 runs for England, instead of a wicket for India).

I'm sometimes lucky with catching a cat, and can get the flea treatment on straight away. On other occasions it's taken me about a fortnight to catch one of them!

[emmie]

that was a wonderful play by the Indian player, i like women's cricket, and have followed England in the past.

Morning gang. 2nd day out of hospital. Still in a lot of pain but so much happier being at home. Spent lastnight on sofa doing a big online grocery shop with Morrison’s as looked in cupboard, fridge and freezer and we seem to have run out of most things at the same time. Bought a few things in bulk as we now have a spare freezer so my plan is that when I feel much better I’m planning to do a lot of batch cooking ie when I do a chilli or curry etc just double up so there is always a meal ready in the freezer to defrost. Again, like you lot am also looking forward to the footie tomorrow but nerves are already on edge!

morning smow

[emmie]

what was wrong after all smow?

[emmie]

in other words did you get a diagnosis of what the pains were.

[Smowball]

I’ve got a fractured rib x

[emmie]

oh dear, that's not good, how did that happen?

[Smowball]

When I tripped over a flowerpot in the garden last week I gave myself a black eye and bruised leg, but didn’t really think I’d hit my side that hard - turns out I had lol.

[emmie]

poor you, you really are a bit accident prone..............

[Smowball]

Mr smow says they should have prescribed me bubble wrap instead of pain killers! Anyhoo…… how is everyone’s weather shaping up this morning?? Looking dry here….. so far!

[emmie]

dull, grey sky, not sure what the weather forecast is for today.... will have a look in a minute.

[emmie]

scattered rain showers apparently, at least they can put the roof on center court at Wimbledon if it does rain -

[Smowball]

Have missed loads of the tennis this week. Hope to catch today’s final tho

[emmie]

Ashleigh Barty v Karolina Plishkova - not sure what time its on, but i do hope to watch it.
