Thanks she ele I did get spoilt every day is my birthday
with Mr F he's special and loves to spoil me even when it
isn't my birthday 
I think some get a bit out of
sorts at not having someone to love them
Freddie
Did I miss your birthday? So sorry 
Belated birthday wishes m'dear ........
Oaks I hope your visit to the specialist goes well - that they do not keep you waiting and that the results show you are really on the mend.
Concerned about Sandy - wish she would hang a 'house full' notice on her front door to give her the chance to really get on top of her health issues.
I worked this morning, had a dental appointment this afternoon and tonight we are off to celebrate a huge win we had locally .... should be fun 
Loving the pictorial records of the visit of Andrew and Meghan - they are such a joy to see and so obviously besotted with each other. It is wonderful to see the time they are taking to speak with/shake hands with/sign autographs for all those folks who have waited for hours just to see them. The photographs of them with the littlies are particularly memorable.
Storms predicted here tomorrow and possibly on Friday also. Love watching the 'real thing' Deb - from the security of front or back verandahs and if that is not possible then there is always the colourful BOM

Oh dearie me - of course I meant Harry and Meghan 
Must have been 'royalled-out' with the wedding, the visit and the baby news 
Hello Ladies
Life has taken precedence these last few days! Freddie - your poor neighbour is indeed fortunate to have such a caring neighbour. I hope all goes well with her hip operation but suspect the decision may have to be made to move to a nursing home 😞
In a lighter note, did I read the Aussies won the Constellation Cup? Must have been you standing by with your magic footwear
Asthma sure knocks sufferers around Sandy. My sister has suffered with it all her life - hypnotherapy worked for her years ago but fortunately some great medication has eased the suffering a bit (thankfully). Trouble is, I doubt anyone who has not suffered has any idea of how someone feels ....
I was just reading some of the 'old' treatments for asthma and would you blieve that 'asthma cigarettes' used to be sold until the mid 20th century (they apparently used to contain belladonna)!
It is slightly overcast here today but comfortable enough to get out into the garden if I find the get up and go. We have the 'big garage sale' on here today and probably elsewhere in Australia but I really couldn't think of anything worse - giving it a BIG miss suits me..... we are trying to downsize.
Looking forward to the official opening of the Invictus Games tonight - thankfully the ABC will be covering the games and we will no doubt be blown away by the courage, strength and downright determination of these wonderful athletes

And we appreciate you saying that, thank you, Laney!
Good afternoon from the wonderful west.
Easy day at work today - a day filled with laughter and smiles - and that always makes it worthwhile.
Could not wait to get home and check out what has been happening at the Invictus Games. Lucky to find sitting volleyball was in full swing - the Aussies V the French first and the UK V Jordan which has just finished. Now Germany V Georgia is about to start. Blown away by all these amazing athletes - dealing with their physical issues - please do watch them if you can. They deserve all the support we can show them.
Appreciate what we have my friends - remember that these athletes served each of their countries - for their fellow countrymen no matter their origins. You are so right Sandy
Perspective brings many benefits.
~~~~~ to friends, to you Sandy, to you oaks and to our Freddie - my other friends of long-standing know I am also waving to them ~~~~~
Back the Invictus Games - catch up later perhaps .... or tomorrow
