I am managing to keep my head above water. I just hope my menfolk don't go down with it too. When our DS son (25) is ill one has to treat him like a 2 year old, which can be hard work.

Re: Monday Muggles
Thank you ladies, my wife is slightly better than last night. There is nothing that I would not do for her, she is my reason for living so to speak.DS I hope that you are feeling better soon and Rosemary, sorry to hear about your finger. I know from bitter experience that Parrots can give you a bad nip.
The sun is lookinging down from between some ominous looking grey clouds but Dylan has to have his third walk of the day soon so that he can relax before his nightly walk.
Why do we always get dogs that need a lot of walking, all our dogs have been active types.
Right, off to run a bath for my wife and then walk Dylan before making my meal for tonight
It is the only time I venture into the kitchen to cook when my wife is ill. The kitchen is and always has been her domain.
We have some friends who have retired and the man has taken over in the Kitchen, is anyone else ( Male) a kitchen grabber?

We had a small Conure parrot years ago. It resided in the bathroom for lack of anywhere else to put it when we moved into a bungalow. My mother was visiting and insisted on covering it with a towel before using the loo or having her shower!
We donated it to an old people's home in the end, if I remember rightly.

Hi all!. November already, the year has flown. Sunny but nippy this morning: 10 C (44 F); first frost predicted tonight in the City, so have been carrying all the pot plants indoors for the Winter. It takes a while to tote all those heavy pots up the stairs: 4 geraniums and 12 amaryllis; got a bit short of breath; getting old!Glad Mrs AB is feeling better, also DS, hope the menfolk don't get the bug!
Ouch, parrot bite!

Re: Monday Muggles
Sorry to hear some of you are not too well, hope you all recover soon. I'm a terror when I've got 'flu, they all stay away from me until I'm well again. I make a drink of whiskey, lemon, cloves, drink it as hot as I can stand it, eat nothing and go to bed for two or three Days and I'm better again, never failed me.01-11-2010, 05:49 PM

Re: Monday Muggles
That's strange because I feel full of cold today too, so staying in the warm. I was woken by the milkman's float at 3am this morning, I think he must have been a new chap because he was going up and down our road probably looking for house numbers in the dark We cancelled it a few years ago as it got too expensive but I do still miss the nice glass bottles and the Christmas goodies delivered.01-11-2010, 06:51 PM

A miserable old man delivers milk to one or two of the neighbours, at least I should say it is his poor wife who delivers the milk, whilst he sits behind the wheel of his truck! He delivers it at about 3pm, a fat lot of use on a boiling hot summer day, when i thas to sit on the doorstep until the occupants gets home from work! I have bought my milk from the supermarket for well over twenty years after I discovered the milkman, where we then lived was charging me for pints of milk we hadn't had!
