Me too.It's the last one that is so true... I have spent so much of my time peering under bushes looking for Joe! [emoji23]

Ooh lovely. The weather should be perfect in September. Not too hot. What ports will you call at?
What a fantastic boost for your daughter and son, congratulations to them both. They work hard and deserve it. Brilliant news!Happy things post:
1. Before my trade show, I met with a school friend who I haven't seen in 25 years. She moved to the USA all those years ago and currently lives in Missouri City in Texas. She was briefly in London awaiting her husband who was flying in having been working in Poland; he is British too. I booked afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason and we spent 4 hours catching up. It was wonderful! ( @Moozillion when you eventually make it to London this is where I'm taking you!)
2. Proud Mum 1: Daughter has been nominated for two separate awards by her employer. "Graduate of the Year" with the National Apprenticeship and Graduate Training Awards. And "Rising Star" with the Institute of Ecologists which is the professional body for her line of work.
Her job seems a little less cute and cuddly this time of year - she was out all night Monday supervising a road maintenance crew digging a drainage ditch that had to avoid some important wildlife habitat. Apparently it was "<expletive> freezing". However, she has also been doing interesting historical research into some woodland to discover if it is "ancient" in legal terms (at least 400 years old) and is going through very old hand-drawn maps and historical documents.
3. Proud Mum 2: Son has passed his probationary period at his employer and been given a whopping 12% payrise! So he is doing very well too!
That would be ideal thanks Carol, and if you could turn the clock back for last Saturday by 30 secs then all my problems would be solved!My heart goes out to you Lyn. It is a terrible thing to go through. Would you like me to beam you to your appointment?
I will see what I can arrange.That would be ideal thanks Carol, and if you could turn the clock back for last Saturday by 30 secs then all my problems would be solved!
Good afternoon everyone, I'm just waiting for my sister to collect Lola and I before the snow comes.
I have packed all his essentials and he will travel in a box with his hot water bottle, I just hope he will be OK. I can see me cuddling up to him at night!!
My appointment could well be cancelled tomorrow with the snow, but if it is slippery as expected I won't be able to leave my sister's house with her steps and sloping driveway anyway - unless I use a sledge!!
One of my nephews has been down to help me this morning but he has learning difficulties so needs a lot of instruction and his mobility is poor because he is so big - not easy, but he is an extra pair of hands and eyes when I've needed them and managed to get me some shopping the other day so I appreciate his time.
I'm not taking my laptop but may be able to pop in on my sister's PC sometime and hopefully I will be back home by the beginning of next week.
So I hope everyone wraps up warm and stays safe in the UK and US (Carol should be fine in CT!!) and I'll speak to you soon.
Take care
