I’m traveling to Ukraine. 10 hour flight with no wifi

Hello! I hope you off to a beautiful week.  I have a couple of guinea girls here. They are headed home tonight.Charlotte and Claire had Fall break and took off with mom and dad to Canada. They really did some fun and visits. They always have meaningful lessons in sightseeing. Also,they were aware of Shaun Mendez (sp.?)  Claire has been a fan of his for years. Caroline and Claire really enjoyed going to his concert in Vancouver . Ed and Charlotte found something fun to do. Back to school for both today! I hope all is well with you!Is Mark good?Has he cleaned all of the garden for Spring? we have had really nice weather,the dryness in the summer has made for crunchy and not very colorful leaves. The Mexican sunflowers are still attracting bees and my roses are still producing buds!  I have really rattled on....take care. Sending hugs!

Hi Liz. No it was NatWest I used to work for and they were very big in Bristol as well. There were three branches in Corn Street when I started work with separate Area and Regional offices and at least a couple of dozen branches in Bristol and surrounding area. Now there are only four branches in the greater Bristol area!  Have a good week yourself. Any prickly things to look after or are they all going to sleep now?  xxxx

Thanks for spotting the sea uni

Thank you so much...... I really didn't expect that to pop up on the first water..... And not even on the new plate of food

Never mind x

You're very welcome, Liz. I hope that you'll have better luck attracting them than Orlando and I have.

Hi Liz. Yes I’ve had a good weekend thanks and glad you managed to get out and about despite your bad head. Trust you’ve got rid of that now with your walk in the fresh air.

Thankfully I didn’t have a headache despite probably deserving one.  In early October each year I get together with my old bank colleagues for a dinner and catch up. The club has been going for well over a century and there were about 75 of us on Saturday in the Royal Marriott Hotel on College Green in Bristol. Great to meet up again with old, some of whom I hadn’t seen for over 20 years.

Hope you have a good week ahead. xxxx

Hello! a new week. I can not believe it is October.. I hope your weekend was nice. I love the hedgehog topiary!  We worked on putting a handrail by the entry outside. Just  for safety,Ron worked hard on it and it is nice. Winters are slippery and it helps to be prepared.The whole kit was Amazon delivered. Crazy!  Lizzy is due for a surgery on the 29th.She is eight and needs her teeth cleaned,one is fractured.also,a lump on her side removed.The lump has been there and has tested out OK,but might as well have it removed. She is so sweet.  It is 83 degrees today and so dry,Ron watered the grass as a fire precaution.People might litter with some cigarette butts.     Charlotte and Claire are showing their different personalities.They are so good Claire is interested in Art and dance.Charlotte is interested in drama and dance. piano (both) Girl scouts(both )    I could go on all day about them!  enjoy your week.sending hugs!

He really doesn't want me 🥲
