Heavy rain overnight and supposedly for most of today.

So, CV session and then yoga class . Watch the Vuelta and table tennis tonight. It's a tough life !

Note to self , must stay off the transfer window thread every hour!

Morning all, bright and sunny again. Had a good day yesterday, no sand where it shouldn’t @blue1948 and no tilting on the slot machine @jazzy which is probably why I lost my money. lol Here’s a couple of pics. The horse statue is a tribute to the horses that used pull the lifeboat. It stands there from May to October. Wildlife pic of the alpacas in their natural habitat of Norfolk . Wouldn’t want to pay £57 for the privilege of taking them trekking round Wells for an hour though. Have a good day all.?

Looks lovely - never really been that far east. Lincoln and Peterborough about the farthest.

Norfolk and Suffolk too are lovely, well worth a visit if you ever decide to venture to the mystic East!

yes we really should get over that way - just a long old journey by car - I think it's quiker to drive to Devon.

Just had some quite upsetting news. My brother just called to say his granddaughter, the one with secondary breast cancer, sadly passed away last night. I really feel for my niece, her mother, who I know will be absolutely devastated. She is away on holiday at the moment. Her daughter had been doing brilliantly after being given 3 months back in January, but took a turn for the worst at the end of last week and went downhill very fast. I only spoke to my brother on Sunday and he said she was in hospital having tests on her liver, but he didn't seem overly concerned at the time. 28. No age at all.

Really sorry to read this. As you say 28 is no age…

@blue1948 I was reading some news about Finland’s PM taking a drug test because of the video below. Are people really disappointed that a woman PM likes to dance, sing and have a few booze?

She’s a young woman doing a difficult job. Work hard, play hard, you only get one life….

I agree. Have had a couple of holidays based in Mundesley on the North Norfolk coast. Handy for Cromer and Sherringham but a lovely little place in its own right.

Good afternoon all. I've had a very lazy day today. A d by that I mean full on Waynetta Slob for those who remember Harry Enfield. It's been great

. I'm watching the Vuelta because it ends in Bilbao which is where we went in March. Also, because of a few discussions in and around these pages, contemplating a Greek island hopping holiday next year.
I haven't looked for any Anthony Gordon news today.
Haven't been to the gym yet this week. Due to her social life the daughter has booked our PT sessions for Thursday Friday and Saturday ( the PT owes us one) We also have the last Sweaty Saturday prior to the PT session. I'm not sure I'll make Redcar races on Saturday evening!
How are you and your family doing today @Barnfred 55 . Losing loved ones at any age is sad but at such a young age is even harder.

I'm doing OK thanks Anj considering. It is incredibly sad for somebody so young to die, but the reality is it's a lot easier for me because she wasn't part of my everyday life, so you don't have that physical heartache of missing her. I'm sure my niece and brother will be really hurting though and it's them I feel for right now. I was always close to my niece growing up as there's only 5 years between us; ours certainly hasn't been a normal uncle/niece relationship. But they are a very close family unit and I know they will be supporting each other.

I imagine the funeral will likely be when I'm away, which is a shame as I would definitely have travelled up for it. I still may do if there is a delay. It would also coincide with the first anniversary of Cal passing and it would be nice to be up in Liverpool for that.

Taking grandkids 1 and 2 out for the day tomorrow. They chose York. They travel free as their Dad is a rail worker and he got us some discounted tickets and we love York so Happy Days. Harry’s not happy however as he and his sister are entitled to travel first class which, even with a discount, Nanny and Grandad are not prepared to pay, therefore he’s going to have to slum it in standard class, no free bacon roll, oh dear.?

Good morning all on this dull and dreary day in Finland. I hope all had a good night and have a great day . No news on the striker front ! Have a great day all.

Gwladysover · August 25, 2022

Morning all, getting ready for our trip today. After some early sun it’s now raining steadily which is very welcome here but I hope it’s not raining in Jorvik (Viking reference there @Barnfred 55 ). Have a good day all.?

jazzy · August 25, 2022
