COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Thanks, this is great, I've just ordered a variety pack of wild lambs lettuce and dandelions seeds ect from amazon, this should do nicely!

Be careful where you pick the wild dandies from - those near roads could be contaminated by fumes and you want to avoid places where they may spray to keep the weeds down. Some supermarkets sell bags of lamb lettuce or it is in packs of mixed leaves like florette Classic Crispy salad.

Good morning!!
Or afternoon!

Heading to the doctor for the results of my daughter’s MRI.
We think she has a ganglion cyst in her foot.

My sister had one on her wrist and it keeps coming back.
An old remedy is to bash it with a heavy bible - but somehow I don't think that will work
Hope it's not too painful for her.

It would be hard to tell the difference between him having the "munchies" and his normal appetite![emoji28]

Maybe I should try Lola on it.
It may improve his appetite.

The best part of my morning was spraying the pens down and having 3 hummingbirds fly thru the spray. I just love that!

Wow! That must be lovely to see.

And I’m thinking that’s probably not the best solution...

Good afternoon/evening all.
It is so hot here today, I'm thinking of going to Tesco to lie in their freezer!
Hope you have all had a good day, some lovely pics from Mark again.
I'll pop back later.

Well, she’s fine for now. In future if it gets worse they will drain it or surgically remove it. It could pop on it’s own. It’s right below her ankle bone.

 

[Momof4]

Oh! I am so jealous! I would love to have hummingbirds!

I never have my phone when I see cool stuff in the garden.

Doesn't sound like any fun.. do we know what causes these?

How hot is hot? I do remember a few heat waves when I lived near Knaresborough for a few years. Like 80 and near death! and no AC of course. Windows wide open and some fans.

• Out in the USA west... Arizona, Southern California, New Mexico areas...supposed to all be at 110 or so for the next three days.

You were stationed at Menwith Hill weren’t you?!

We had a high of 26C (80F) today and it’s unlikely to have been hotter for Lyn.

It’s not that hot by most people’s standards here. I have coped fine, but Lyn has probably been trapped in a stuffy classroom with sweaty children

Here is some forecast heat for our area....

The thermometer in my garden which is a real suntrap was at 37'C at 3.30pm but the average given on the weather maps was 28'C I think.
This garden is wasted on me - good job I have some small trees, for shade - but even then it's too hot. I shouldn't complain really it won't last long. It was like this at this time last year, but by the end of July and August it was cooler and we had lots of rain.
I know Knaresborough - did you visit Old Mother Shipton's cave and see all the petrified items in the waterfall?
My sister used to live near there but I haven't been there for many years.

The school is temp controlled and has air con, lovely for me but some staff were complaining they were too cold.
It's going outside is the problem for me!

I can honestly say that in 10 years living in Harrogate I only went to Mother Shipton's cave once. We went to Knaresborough pretty at leats weekly... More often when I was waitressing in a hotel there.

I suppose it's not the sort of place you go to on a regular basis - unless you wanted to ask Mother Shipton's advice
I've been a few times but with different people who hadn't been before.

I had to Google it.
The cause of ganglion cysts is not known. One theory suggests that trauma causes the tissue of the joint to break down, forming small cysts that then join into a larger, more obvious mass. The most likely theory involves a flaw in the joint capsule or tendon sheath that allows the joint tissue to bulge out.Oct 12, 2017

I visited the caves there in the cliffs along the trail that winds it’s way back up top to the old ruins overlooking the River Nidd and Harrogate in a distance. I lived a bit further up the road in Stavely, just south of Boroughbridge and north of Knaresborough. When in Boroughbridge - must visit the Black Bull Inn.

Hope they can sort it out for her as it's in such an awkward place.
My sister had an op on hers but it came back so she still has it, but maybe there's more they can do these days.

Linda mentioned you were at Menwith Hill, Mark - were you in the airforce?
One of my nephews was based at RAF Leeming for a while and I spent a few New Years in the Family flat there with my family.
He is now in Lincolnshire at RAF Coningsby.
