A few of my favourite things in photos

Not being up to much here these past few weeks I have been snapping a few of the things about me and that I enjoy.

The last photo is of the new carpet in our summerhouse. Mr DBVC, son and his GF cleared it out at the weekend and dusted it. Now it is spider free and a cosy place to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of summer.

A few of my favourite things in photos

Good morning from 'lark' hall - any other early birds about?

You'd think at least on one day of the week Ruby would go round the other side of the bed and wake OH but no, it's all girls together - if she's up then obviously I'm up too - fed, watered and alleviated. Have sorted out the packed lunch, made the breakfasts (even boiled an egg for me this morning so no excuses for lack of boundless energy today, what?

Carpets now gathered, collected and gone so I have the massive task for the rest of the Summer of doing the whole floor instead of round and round the carpets in every room now. I would leave them down but it is so hot in the Summer here that just looking at them brings us out in a sweat!

Meeting my friend for coffee early this morning then back to the grind stone. Potted up some lovely flowers yesterday and have placed them along the wall areal round the bar area at the pool - very pretty. I've put the cushions on the garden seat below so looking like a pleasant spot to linger in. Fuchsia pink, mauve and white trailing flowers which will create a bit of therapy when I park myself there as they will have to be dead headed every day. Hoping the recent rain has left us for a while again as it's a bit of a walk from the pool to the house if I need to gather the cushions in a hurry!

Horrible "Boy George" music on the radio now so I think that's my cue to go have a shower and hopefully it will be finished by the time I'm dressed - was never fond of his music.

Hope everyone is well this morning. Have your x-rays found their way to you Debbie? Not long till Friday so hope the visit to your Consultant will bring you relief. How's the nose this morning Rosa? xxx

Spotless...

...or I will be, in a few days, when the treated area settles down.

I had the treatment about three hours ago, and I've already gone from this -



to this -



It's supposed to take a few days before it fully clears, although I can go back for another treatment if necessary. The thread veins are gone; the area just looks a bit red, and that little haemangioma is flat now, and I can't see it any more...but it will take a bit longer to heal, and disappear, than the veins.

It wasn't really painful; it was like a few tiny wasp stings, and it smarted for an hour afterwards, but I wouldn't know I'd had anything done now.

BTW, do you have any idea how difficult it is to take a picture of your own nose!!??:D

Strickers is coming to the Fest-and a grumble about something else for me!

I was so very please to read that SL is coming to Belfast, Yippee-do but the site didn't like the reply from me to her post so it has gone off for "MODERATION"


So what has happened to the "MODERATORS" removing all the abortion spam which appeared last week? They don't even have to look for them, we report the f* things, yet I can't make a post to say I'm glad a friend is coming out to play?

Peeved of Oxford :mad::mad::mad:

Bikinis

Help! I'm after a bikini with normal bra straps and high waisted knickers. Can anyone recommend either a good website or shop?

Windows 10 - I don't like enforced change!!

A message suddenly popped up on my screen this morning telling me not to switch off the machine as it was reconfiguring to Windows 10. Now, several times a message has appeared asking me if I want to upgrade to Windows 10 "whilst it was still free of charge", which I have always said no to, but this morning it decided to do it all of its own accord!!

We have only just bought a new laptop, complete with Windows 10, but I have stuck with this one, as I am familiar with it, and I already don't like this new format. To be fair, after struggling for about an hour, just to try and access my e mails I gave up in sheer frustration, and moved over to the new laptop, as the format on that seems more similar to the one I was used to on this one. To be honest, the main reason we bought a new laptop was because the letters have all worn off the keys on this one, and though it isn't a problem for me, OH was totally unable to use it. I know I am the world's worst technophobe and Luddite, so it was always going to be inevitable that I wouldn't like change, but I feel really fed up that the screen just announced this morning that the reconfiguring was already underway.

Is everybody else who has Windows happy with Windows 10, and it is just a case of getting used to it?

Day 47 Bardon Hill Leicestershire

#

And a MUCH better pic of the high point



It's not a particularly high hill, but because Leicestershire is flat, it looks like it is!

The last wild bear in England was allegedly killed here - well you'd be wild if they'd knocked off all your family as well :-(

We're right next to Bardon Quarry, wehre they quarry pink granite, created by a fault line that runs from Derbyshire to germany




Weekend steps were very poor,had a yukky head cold over the weekend, still sneezing but feeling better. 5633 Saturday, Sunday, don't know, but i did do a fair bit of gardening.
