Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 06:24:27 PMDone that a few times, usually when I'm in Perth and I'm daft enough to meet up with Joyce, she's the sister next to me in age and a bossy mare to boot. She was a school teacher (physics) before she retired and I think she forgets I'm not one of her teenage pupils.

Yes, things can get difficult at times.
I feel worse because I know my friend isn't well at the moment,  but I also felt whatever I tried to do, or say, was wrong,  so sometimes its perhaps best to walk away.

Oh well,  time I was in bed. 
Sweet dreams to any late-nighters. 

Bella needed some new shoes
Not much choice for her in size twos
Such neat little feet! 
So tiny and petite
But in footwear, little to choose.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 06:15:15 PMThe first person I heard call an airer a maid was my daughter in law, who is also from Cheshire! It must be a localism?

I have a washer drier, a small rotary airer, and a now defunct washing line! I use a clothes horse/maid/airer in front of a radiator if I have to dry stuff indoors,

I've never heard that expression, a clothes maid,  before?

Sciatica is horrible isn't it.  Can be very painful too.
Doc wants me to have an MRI now,  but he warned it could be several months wait!
Seems you've just got to have money to get anything done nowadays.

Didn't get my garden done in the end.  I went to see a friend, and unfortunately we had 'a few words.' This upset me, and I was so fed up that I went down to Waitrose cafe and stuffed my face with calories I shouldn't have done.

My daughter and granddaughter came over,we had soup and sandwiches fir lunch then popped into town for a wander.  Coffee and cake followed. ☺️

There's still a nasty cold chilly wind
No outside parties or drinking binge
Not for a bit longer
'Til the sun is a tad stronger
Then beware you don't get singed
