*Wraps a cloak of invisibility around Freddie (just for now)*
Don't worry Freddie - you will be safe here 
Some lovely heavy rain today - not the really bad wind which was predicted although they are still forecasting it later tonight.
Didn't read about your screws Freddie (prison related thanks mods lol) but admit your hall carpet did get some attention 
As you know Freddie I don't post elsewhere but pepe is doing a great job and 'miss morning sunrise' is a classic! Love reading her parodies - so accurate 
~~~~~ waves~~~~~
We have the dreaded puffy ankles saga happening now
I don't have the heart to post a WARNING 
I would be in fear of her taking out Funeral Insurance.
Common causes of foot, leg, and ankle swelling. ... Being overweight:
Excess body mass can decrease blood circulation, causing fluid to build up
in the feet, legs, and ankles. Standing or sitting for long periods: When the
muscles are inactive, they can't pump body fluids back up toward the heart.
Funeral Insurance? I would have thought a 'contract' or a 'bone pointing' might be more likely 
Good morning Girls
I see sun out this morning - slept in so got to head out before it disappears.
Will catch up with you later in the day when my chores are complete
Be good!

Some lovely humour around ........
Also saw this lovely clip of a duck being followed by 76 ducklings ..... so very cute but what a brood to have to look after
awww Laney
I love that!
she must be a good mum
Oh TGSE I remember when Eoin Cameron donated a couple of gnomes to the 'family' - sure hope they were not lost in the deluge.
Oh Sandy - you are doing so well getting your sugar down. Wish I was as disciplined as you ..... I am a bit of an ostrich 
Given the stress you have been under these past months - the whole relocation, Frank's heart problems, your fall, the house build etc - your stress levels MUST impact on your general health. It is difficult to avoid those living stresses though ........ your annual country music concerts, being with your best friend and also spending some time seeing your daughter will relieve a lot of that I expect.
We are supporting the Tigers too Sandy .... the Dockers are *cough cough* rebuilding 
Chores all done, shopping, returning library books .... riveting stuff.
***Removed Freddie's cloak of invisibility now so that I can see her***
~~~~~ to you all
Laney I got busy today and by the time I looked at the clock
it was too late for our walkies - so tomorrow I will be forced
to do the big walk. I always wondered if stress aided in my
BC because the past few years prior it was constent. Now
that the knee is playing nice I feel the best i've felt in a long
time. I've had 3 scammer calls today I let them go through
to the answering machine and they hang up - so what happens
just now a call from a silent number - the scammers use obscure
phone numbers which come up on the caller ID I have a couple of
friends who call with silent numbers - so silly me picked up the phone
they asked for Mr F using my name so I played their game and faked
deafness so they hung up - so now I can't answer private number calls
as well. I probably missed out on a deal of a lifetime
Hiya Freddie (I can see you now)
No matter what the medicos say I do believe that stress is the cause of so much sickness - that they have no definitive proof does not mean it is not so.
Scammer calls even come through on our silent home line - we just let calls go through to the answering machine and they soon hang up.
Have had a few calls recently on my mobile from numbers I do not know - they soon hang up if mobile is not answered in 3 or 4 rings. They keep ringing back at various times though. On checking the numbers I have found they are from energy companies so they are now identified in my contacts so I am not left wondering lol.
Thought I had finished all my paperwork then something else reared its ugly head. Requires in-depth research and reply so it is off to complete that so I do not have the Sword of Damocles hanging over my head. If 'boring' was in my lexicon I would say it was boring stuff
Freddie you are such a funny monkey
~~~~~Waves to the builders/demolishers/butchers/bakers and candlestick makers~~~~~
