Good morning all on this misty day here in Hyvinkää.I hope all are well after a good night and that @anjelikaferrett managed to get some sleep with her shredded tongue .Good luck at the dentist . Nothing much happeming here ,pee test and blood tests again for the new doctor "Of inner medicine" is what the Finns call them . the dentist covered my tooth with Fluoride stuff and prescribed a special toothpaste Duraphat that I had never heard of ,apparently the old amalgam fillings have cracked my tooth and the root is showing .
Have a great day all COYB

Hi Nora x

Good morning all. I know there are a few seafarers on here so I thought you might like this video. My Dad was Captain of this beast for a short time. One of my workmates sent it to me. She grew up near the shipyards and remembered the supertankers being built.

Morning all, bright and sunny here. I had a letter from the hospital yesterday to say that I have been placed on the waiting list for general surgery so it would seem GP was able to secure funding for the cyst, so happy days. I suspect the waiting time may be in years rather than months but it’s a start. Hope you get the tooth sorted @anjelikaferrett, glamping sounds great. My brothers are taking a banner to the Durham Miners’ gala Saturday. Friday’s forecast is good so hoping the weather holds. @Ducans elbow love Nora, those eyes.
The husband is off helping his mate with painting and decorating again today so I am at a loose end. In the past I would have gone to see our neighbour for a chat and doing her odd jobs but she went into a care home a few months ago. I do miss her so. I’m sure I’ll find something to keep me out of mischief. There’s a lovely little cafe near to where they are working. I may get him to drop me off there and I can have a coffee and cheese scone, potter round the antique centre….
Have a good day, all.

Right, what have I just seen!!??!!

About butterfly size, very fast wings with a grey body. I think a slight orange tinge at the base. It had a long needle like point that it was inserting completely into individual flowers then moving onto the next.

Wish I had got a photo of it!

That’s it I think. You can see where I picked up orange.

I’m off on holidays tomorrow so had set my window boxes down on the ground for rain when I saw it. Was thinking they have probably been around before but I’m only seeing them now as they are at ground level.

When we first got her Mrs b , and others, said she was calico rather than tortie because of her white. She certainly never shows any aggression, is very loving , gentle and playful and there’s lots of gentle play with her sister. Mrs b just received a couple of photos of Gertie visiting a friend’s garden 100 yds up the road , she’s so inquisitive and friendly but a bit of a wanderer !

Hiya Anj
I’ve been full on with friends visiting … funny how many friends remember you when you live in the sun but that it now until next year … think I’ll be heading home to Uk for a few weeks in late July … hopefully cooler there …. Still as you say there’s plenty of cool beer to drink here

Last year we visited the nearby Selkies and Falkirk Wheel , drove around the area and kept seeing all these signs for Larbert . In the end we actually circled “ Larbert “ and it was always 3 miles away. I’m not sure it actually exists , it’s just a name on road signs and railway stations , any Toffee claiming to actually reside there has got to be a bit dubious.
