Period party sparks broodiness in Letherbridge but there are still no patients

[NutButterNutter]

We hit 1k without me noticing!!

Yay red
Normally I don't like football but I shall be here, home alone watching tonight.

How are you and raahh doing?

Tonight I'm having a night off so Gareth's boys had better win

I will be with you in spirit Fuzzy,
that's for later

Fuzzy afternoon! Thank you for asking- we are plodding on here.

I am taking my mind off things by watching tennis- and hoping it doesn't clash with the football later, or I will be relegated to dd1's stinky bedroom .

I think it's a shame you don't live near me (I assume, as I live near nobody!) or we could all footle off down the pub together and entertain ourselves during the boring bits of the football with amusing chat

well well well......

well indeed
thanks sub, I think I need lessons on how to use Twitter

yay Manchester has rain
I never thought I'd be happy to say that

red you just made me look out of my patio- and disappointingly, this bit of Manchester doesn't (though it's been cooler, and cloudy today).

Ooh! it must have rained in the last 10 minutes whilst I was upstairs.

Not much, mind you, but my car is wet

It didn't last long here Raahh. I was hoping for about 3 full days of it

No rain here. All the grass is brown and dusty. Last Thursday there was an absolute deluge in a nearby town (Tunbridge Wells) and twenty minutes of torrential rain just a mile from here. We so need it.

Sadly we only had about 10 minutes of drizzle

Proper rain over night and this morning- mt garden now appears to have grown 6 inches and I'm kicking myself for not cutting it yesterday

Raahh I've heard that you shouldn't cut your grass in a drought, that's my excuse.
Get the All England tennis groundsman round, they seem obsessed with snipping millimetres.

Man/Men autocorrect...

told that sounds like it is good plan. It's been too hot to cut it- but the problem I've got now- is it in shade nearly all the time and will probably take weeks to dry out again

I'd love a nice lawn. Actually, no, that's a lie. I'd like to concrete over the whole thing- I hate gardening.

Was a bit worried about the Wimbledon grass, it's looked brown on some courts since the first Monday!

I'm so glad that we haven't let the little issue of Doctors having an extended break interfere with the continuation of this thread

Red oh no- I have to have somewhere to come an talk to myself . Especially now the tennis I can 'watch' rather than just follow on line is coming to an end for a while.

We might even need a new thread, just from filling this one up with 'weather around the UK' reports .

Raahh I know you love your tennis. I've already thought of a witty retort if Isner loses.
Said in a Scottish burr
" Kevin Anderson is through to the final but John Isner"
bboom tish

Blimey he's tall, wonder what we'd look like in a line up with him.

Hello redshoe how's the weather round your neck of the woods? Are you in the North West too? As well as Raahh, not me I'm down sarf.

I really hope that is true. Can't stand Isner. Who is 2 feet and 2 inches taller than me.

I'd just look really really short. More so than normal .
