I hate that the bombing was at an event aimed at youngsters. Thought go to those injured and the families of those killed

Morning overs

Unfortunately, 19 dead and many injured at the Manchester concert. How horrific! Prayers for all the families.:

Andy, your wife rocks!

Hope it's a peaceful day for everyone.

Why kill innocents?
Hi to all. Got my voluntary arty position, excited. Went to meeting- ranged from interesting, boring to down right weird. Big cooking day now (1535 now).

Good morning Overs.

My mind refuses to comprehend the twisted logic required to attack a venue full of youngsters. Caring thoughts to all.

Mrs T is doing well. She is on an anti nausea pill but has stronger ones she can take if needed plus an injection she can get the district nurse to give her. So far she doesn't need anything extra, she ate her normal breakfast - tough cookies these Feb 10 chics.

Have a good one everyone.

Yay for the Feb 10 tough cookies of the world!

So sad and shocked by yet more death and madness. Years ago during the Vietnam war, I remember wondering why we haven't been able to do away with war. We are a bloodthirsty species. My thoughts and prayers go to all who were affected by the Manchester attack!

Hi Aries, I hope things start moving faster for you! Temps in the 80s without a/c would do me in.

PJ, happy to hear you are excited about your voluntary arts position!

Dee, I had noticed the mobile chat "button" and it hadn't bothered me but when Toots mentioned it I thought I'd add the info that it's probably just on fruity tablet :-)

Hi to all

That is truly terrible about the poor kids at Manchester.

I think the reason they target innocents is twofold:

1) To punish the adults, and

2) To instill such terror in us that we'll give in and let them have their way.

Good morning Overs.

Sad times indeed. Senseless violence and innocence lost.

We must soldier on soberly.

Morning overs

Andy I'm pleased your wife is responding to the treatments.

Congratulations PJ!

Suze, have you come across any American words you love, think strange? I love the word chicane!

Regarding the news at present I believe murdering younger people gets them more media coverage and their 'message' out there! Whatever twisted message that may be. So sad.

Been watching the chelse flower show day's events in the evenings this week. I can only imagine to get flowers so perfect and beautiful. But you know, there is beauty even in the weeds, sometimes we don't know if it's a weed or not and I like them! Lol.

It's bank holiday weekend coming up and we get Monday AND Tuesday off! Such heaven. I'm so looking forward to retirement, (not for 7 years) to be the master of my time, just a few concerns that hubby and myself won't want the same things. I know, compromise!

R.I.P. Sir Roger Moore

Have a great Wednesday overs

Make today the best day you can.

Good morning all

Andy glad Mrs T has the pump out, how long to the next course? I hope she doesn't suffer too badly with the side effects of the drugs.

Congrats PJ

Mags I didn't know chicane was American! How did we drive round tracks before they invented it??? I need to know these things!!!

Am busy with the jet washer at the moment, spent hours yesterday cleaning 3 years of gunk off part of my decking, will finish that today then start on the slabs. Hopefully the weather won't be too cold or its really no fun.

Hi Toots and Mags,

Mrs T says she feels a little nauseous but she is eating well.

I hope the weather holds good for you.

Andy, keeping fingers crossed that Mrs T continues to feel reasonably well. Sending

Toots, do you ever take a break? I think your new name should be Energizer Toots :-)

Have a good hump day to all!

DONE! For now on- let it be known your name is 'Energizer Toots'.
A tribute 'The Spy Who Loved Me' on tele. I love it! (RIP R/M) So cheesy. I mean who would ever realise the assassin- looking like a telephone repair man would be so invisible? So natural to see a 7.5 foot high repair man with stainless steel teeth in a formal restaurant in the late evening.....
