Evening Gill, Lou, Jenny and everyone.

How are you all?

Are you back at work Lou, or still allowing yourself some time. Hope you are ok.

Are you out and about Gill, taking Chaos out in the summer sun?

C made her club today, they played some classical music and the manager said she is getting more cheeky. :D Went to a memory café yesterday, listened to some 50s and 60s music. It certainly helps morale and I think actually has brightened her up too.
Been photographing wild orchids on the downs, a lovely open park land on the edge of the city.

Morning Lou, morning Gill, morning Jenny,

How is everyone today? Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine.

Is Chaos recovering from his stomach problems Gill ?

Don't want to intrude on you Lou, just saying hello really.

Taking C out to a music memories café which has a jazz band playing, so should be a pleasant day.


All the best everyone.

Hi rob , I was so glad to read that C enjoyed the club last week . The memory cafe sounds good . We don't have anything like that where I live , that I'm aware of . Things are ok with me , still have my moments but work keeping me occupied. Thank you for your very kind thoughts . I hope you and C are enjoying the lovely weather . Your latest photo was fabulous , I've saved the image . Your very talented .
Hi Gill , hope your doing ok . Have been out and about with my mum which has been good. I've also been out with my niece which has been nice . Hope the family are well and your enjoying walking chaos in the good weather . Xxx
Hi Jenny , how's things with yourself and the family . This weather will be good for your lovely granddaughter to enjoy .
Are any of you managing to get away for a break anytime soon . I had to cancel my wee break away I had planned , when my sister died . Hopefully be able to get away for a couple of nights in the next couple of months .
Keep well everyone . Xxx

Hi Rob! Glad C had a good time. Love your photos.
Lou. Glad you are ok. PM me for a chat?
Did I tell you guys that mum fell last Tuesday? We were on a rare night out (how do our loved ones do it?)
Apologies if I have mentioned It! I work in a garden centre so have spent the last few days in temperatures well into the 90's!! Addled!!
No holidays for us. Mum gets unsettled. Instead we are doing lots of little things.
A day's falconry on Thursday. 2 nights in a lovely hotel next week. (The most we can do) A balloon flight. A family photoshoot. Tickets for the theatre and for the ballet!

Sorry I did not reply on Monday night Gill. The jazz / swing trio went down a treat, Christel had a smile as wide as the Bristol Channel the whole time. Hope you and Chaos are surviving the heat and you will feel better tomorrow when the fresher air arrives.

Glad you are out and about a bit Lou, with your niece joining you and your mum. I will join Gill in wishing you well and hope you can get away somewhere over the summer.

Jenny, hope your mum is feeling better now and you have a nice trip to the falconry tomorrow.

All the best everyone, and hello to everyone else joining our wee thread. Rob :)

Evening Gill,

Glad to hear Chaos is back to normal again and it's a bit fresher for your walks. C made her day centre today, so I joined the ramblers walking for health group to go and explore a part of the city I've driven past but never realised there were nature reserves and Roman ruins there. Jazz event is a monthly "music & memories" café we found through Dementia Wellbeing Service, so looking forward to the next one in July. :)

All the best to you and hope you are sleeping better these days. Rob :)

Afternoon Gill. How are you doing?

Been working hard helping C's son, but managed a wee game of bingo today. The plan for Thursday is to drop C off at her club and come back for a ploughman's lunch at our housing complex. Not sure if the ploughman will approve. :D I was going to let her off for one week to join in, but thought it best to keep the routine going.

Jenny, nice to hear your falconry day was a roaring success. Looking forward to the pictures.

Lou, how are you doing? Hope all is well with you, your mum, niece and rest of the family.

All the best everyone. :)
