All the snow is melting fast, and the sun has been shining brightly all day long. Garden is boot sucking yucky. Been working on finishing up our bowl... the shape is pretty much finalized. Now we start sanding - working up through the varios grit grades... 60, 80, 100, 150. I think I still have 200, 220, 240 and 300 to go, then some 00000 steel wool. Stain, wax, buff. Enjoy.

I can only say beautiful. I am running out of words to use.

It's going to take a while for me to get caught up. I didn't even feel up to coffee this morning. Nor this afternoon.

My awareness of today goes something like this: There were four cats on the bed most of the day, with a couple more in the bedroom, all keeping me company. The mud turtle tank hasn't required any attention today. At some point Pinstripe was basking on the artificial log. The rest of my day I spent sleeping.
Sleep is the best medicine for getting better.

It may be tested to see if it's laced with LSD or something en route ;)
A prison here has just discovered that the inmates were smoking the pages from a Harry Potter book because the pages had been smeared with some drug or another!
I've googled Gain and any UK match, they said the nearest was DAZ also a P&G product.

Smoking book pages??? That stinks.

Good mornooning, roommates! A lovely, cold, sunny day here by the looks of it.

I’m meeting with someone to pick up some Schleich elves as a surprise for daughter; then we’ll do the Last Day of the winter break.

Have a couple of great ideas for our activity of the day.

For example, she could sit in front of the TV and I could nap?? :confused:

Awwww.... so she collects them? Has she built a community yet? The miniature fairies are very popular garden decor here right now. Vendors ask more for the fairy furniture than the real stuff!!!

And I’d totally take that rest later... sure she will love the idea [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I was waiting to hear how that went. I did remember you saying you had an appointment today. I’m so glad you’ve got a more comfortable coating now:) what’s / when is the next appointment? ?
HI Heather - next appointment is 2 weeks today for xray and examination and hopefully all will be well and they'll let me have a boot and start to weight bear which will make life so much easier - so fingers crossed!

I'm still trying to figure all of that out too. I don't read Harry potter's books so I'm not guilty of that. I do love mimosa trees because their flowers look like little bird feathers. If you have one in your neighborhood be prepared. You might walk outside and the mimosa has blessed you with such a beautiful scent Everywhere!!! I've heard they've become illegal?
I don't know of any mimosas in the area but will look out for them.
I just googled them and in the US they are on a 'do not grow list' because they have become 'an aggressive invader'.
I don't know if that makes them illegal or not though.

Good morning Lyn! That sounds positive and I will sure be hopeful for you! I have been “ broken & casted” many times... impatience was my Achilles heal.. ! You take it easy and give proper time to heal and Time will do the rest:) Lola is bumping along just fine now?

How’s your boy today?
She’s not into Schleich yet, but she liked cheaper ELC figurines, so I think she’ll love the higher quality product. And if not, I’ll play with them instead! [emoji85][emoji23]

Yes Lola is OK - considering.
My sister has invited me to go and stay with her but because Lola is settled at the moment I don't want to disrupt him again by taking him 200 miles away.
They are visiting this weekend and staying with another sister, then we are all going out for lunch on Sunday so I'm really looking forward to that - a good meal as well as change of faces!
Yes, time is what it takes for bones to heal so can't do anything but wait and try to occupy myself.
My nephew who I help a lot because he has learning difficulties has been a real star!
His mobility isn't great because he is carrying far to much weight but he calls in or texts to see if I am OK and does some shopping for me, so I'm really grateful to him.
How is you little lad doing today?
