Oh I forgot to say…
Natrah!!!
You be careful out there!
I’ve never been hit by a “drive by” cyclist??
How rude!!!!!
I would have given him a right kick in the foot as he passed me!!
What a jerk.
Next time you go out you should wear knee pads and gloves 🧤 just in case! 😦😳

Good evening everyone!

I hope Chef feels better soon and Angie as well. My cold is well on it's way now which is just as well as I have my cholesterol blood test tomorrow and I'm pleased to say that I also collected my prescription which was all intact. It's been a lovely but last night it was very foggy and there were cyclists and scooters on pavements with no lights and cars going too fast

I hope Zola was okay today after his activities 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and soon I shall be able to tell you all about Jacky's activities.

Goodnight everyone

Ok…ok….
I better change the subject or we will ALL be out of our minds….

On a new note…..

Meet….”The New Guy— Sylvia”.
I just gave her that name in case I come up with a BETTER ONE….(hint..hint….)

She came about because my husband thought I missed Gary tooooo much .?
You should see the size difference!!! 😦
Gary will always be my little doodle bug-booger pants and now I have to give this little one a chance at a good life too.
She resides in Gary’s tank (after a good washing and soapy scrub)….
Well… there ya go.
There’s my surprise. I just hope I don’t get her sick!????

Oh Sylvia - you are the luckiest little snail ever to end up with such a wonderful, loving, and caring mum -I suppose I should have said "mom", but you will understand, I'm sure. I hope you have a long life -please
take care of Chef - she is very precious .
Love from Zola and Angie xxxxxxxxxx

Yes I remember that song Angie and I shall look it up in my grandmother's Shakespeare book. I had my cholesterol blood test and now I've just had breakfast at Havens Hub. It's a lovely spring day here and I'm pleased to see my hyacinths flowering. I also pleased to hear the Blue **** calling when I left the flat.

I feel like spring is coming closer and closer, I have this sun catcher and today is the first time this year after the winter that it is actually working and producing reflections.

Sylvia is adorable. As far as I know, the most important thing in preventing deep retraction syndrome in snails is diet. I am sure you can find info on the diet of you specific species online.

🐌 Hello Sylvia & welcome! I hope you won’t mind having your photo taken a lot & shared with us here. You do look particularly beautiful like your predecessor. It’s a wonderful tank filled with everything a snail could want & a mum(mom) @Chefdenoel10 who will dote on you. Happy sigh 😋

Dear Edward,

When does your summertime begin? We will change the clocks at the end of the month but at the moment it is light at 7.00 am to about 6.30 pm.

It won't begin here until the 29th. I think it might the same all over in Europe, because I am travelling to Berlin at the end of the month and it is the same there. Here the sun rises now at 7 am and sets about 6 pm so about the same as you.

I forgot to mention that I saw some catkins today, they were the first that I have seen this year. Do you have them over there already?

Zola had a walk on the breakwater today, and had a good time,but he was really cold when he got back, and needed a long time under my fleece to warm up - then it was time for his stroke by the fire, which warmed him up even more -he does really enjoy this ritual every day, and sometimes gets quite cross in advance if he thinks it isn't going to happen ! I'm not sure what we shall do in the summer - I hope some nice drives will put it out of his mind - until next winter.
We have seen lots of daffodils everywhere now -including some on our front lawn -and Zola has lots of periwinkle flowers just outside one of his windows. On our drives we also see drifts of snowdrops, primroses,and celandines - and also daisies, of course -the grass is looking greener and more cheerful too.
The winter here hasn't been all that cold - very little snow and ice - but it has been grey and dark all the time, and very depressing. I am looking forward to my cataract operations, as I understand that things look much brighter and more colourful afterwards !
Love to everyone from Angie and Zola xxxxxxxxxx

That sounds like such a lovely day!
I’m jealous because it’s raining here but hot?
I hope your blood tests came back normal and everything is fine.
I will be back tomorrow because I just realized it’s day light savings time here so it’s 2am!!!
😳😦

Love to all of you!!!
Angie your headaches better be better or I’m comin’ over there! 🙏

Dear Chef,

I saw one of my new neighbours whilst I was out and they enjoy listening to my Piano playing!

Natrah
That’s AWESOME!!!!
I would LOVE to be one of your neighbors!
I would sit outside on my steps and listen to you play all day long!!!!!!!! 😍
(Then I would think of asking you for piano lessons…) 🤭🤭🤭
