Thank you for being here, friends old and new and sharing our gentle chat, trials and tribulations.

You know the rules though...let's be good and fill up the last one 😊

I used to get really awful marks from HRT patches.

We are obviously sensitive plants!

Btw the adhesive remover is called Zoff.

Thanks for the tip @TeaAndStrumpets

My old sausage dog wasn't the brightest button, I always used to say when God gave out brains, he was too busy in the handsome queue 😂 we once got home to find him balanced on the narrow ledge of the TV stand wagging his tail in delight that we were back to rescue him. We think he’d got stuck by following his thinner sister onto the windowsill as he could get up via the sofa but not jump down or go backwards so he just moved all the way along and then jumped to on the TV 😂 His sister was more sensible so probably jumped off whereas he just stayed balanced on a thin bit of shelf 😂 He also used to sometimes bark at the random dog in the glass of the fire sometimes not realising it was his reflection.

You do wonder about the thought processes sometimes!

I've had a panic this afternoon when my hand went numb to the touch. I thought TIA but no drooping etc. It went off after a while and then the visual zig zags started so It looks like a migraine. Google says numbness and tingling can be migraine related. I have calmed down a bit now but it was scary while it lasted.

Oh bless you, these things are scary especially out of the blue. Hope it eases off soon for you but yes any more neurological signs and best to get it checked out.

@TeaAndStrumpets oh crumbs, scary.

Girl ddog is too bright for her own good. Has helped herself to far too much. We can't leave anything out. And yes loves cheese. But it's mainly bread stuff they go mad for.

My old St Bernard just used to lift her nose to see if there was anything on the worktop. Although as she got older she was good & didn't steal. Lovely girl. Lost her far too young 💕
