Custard creams were my maternal nan's favorite. Dad liked them too and so do I but when young I would only eat ginger nuts, rich tea, iced gems bourbons, marie, osbourne and never chocolate digestives but the plain ones. I also liked the iced party biscuits covered in icing with a patern on. You still get those now but the icings a bit hard n the old teeth now. I think one of my favorites was Cafe' Noir which I hav'nt seen for years now, a coffee flavoured iced biscuit. |

That's good they are checking you out with a blood test and scan Mandy and that she has prescribed some better painkillers. I didn't know you could get diarrhea with gallstones. We are a lot aren't we with one thing or another. I thought about a nice icecream while I was out today and then remembered they have sometimes upset my tum in the past, so swerved by them quickly! |

Mandy I still buy Malked milk and eat all the edge of, you just have to. Asda do sell Rich Tea but not the fingers which are the ones I like. They changed the flavours of the Iced Gems. They used to have lo9vely scented tops but they're not the sam anymore. |

She just said that the iron tablets don't agree with everyone but I stopped taking the new iron tablets when the diarrhea started again ,she did say you can get that with gall stones . |

Pleased you have seen the nurse practitioner And got some stronger pain killers. Did she say anything about the new iron tablets you've been taking? I hope you can now get some comfort tonight without pain. |

Done some weeding and dug up my snowdrops by mistake but will sort tthose later. Done the big pond filter and had to muck about with the skimmer and then I realised there was'nt enough water in the pond for it to work properly so had to turn the pump on from the well. Did that and now I am having a rest and something to eat. |

Sun's out now but it's cooler today. It's good you got an appointment Mandy and I hope they can give you something to help. It's horrid being in pain and I understand gall stones can cause bad pain. |

Thanks for sending on AnnG's pictures Annx. They brought back some memories. That area is one of our favourite parts of the country and I think we have had 3 holidays around there, one staying in a fisherman' s cottage in Craster. We have walked along past Dunstanburgh Castle to Embleton and sometimes further many a time. I certainly couldn't do it now. Alnwick is lovely too. I assume the bookshop you are talking about is Barter Books in the old station. I could have spent the whole day there. I bet Annx's OH would love it. |

You go on all you like Mandy, it is not nice having so many health problems.probably a good idea to stop the iron and see if you can stabilise your system |

Smashing p[ictures from Anng and thanks for forwarding them on Ann. both Ann and Linda look well and rested and the castle is beautiful. They have peacocks a little way away from me and I can hear them calling. They always sound to me like they are calling for HELP. |

Goodness it’s hot. 22 degrees here at the moment and not a breath of wind. I haven’t done anything in the garden today apart from pull a few weeds as I walked by but OH is out there now. I laughed at Mel’s bil and Annx’s OH not really listening to your gardening wishes. Mine is currently supposed to be putting a couple of my argyranthemum cuttings into two large pots and putting a potted grass and these cuttings by the front door. At the moment there is a Christmas box there and that will be moved to sit inside the side gate. That’s the plan but he’s already been in again to ask where the Christmas box is supposed to go and what pots he’s supposed to be using for the cuttings. I’ll probably find he’s potted up 1 geranium cutting and a tomato, lol. |

I've sent them on AnnG. The Peacock is beautiful isn't he. These days if I get a cold or cough, it seems to affect me so I can't hang on like I used to either, so I know what you mean about toilets! It's good you have still felt well enough to enjoy your break. OH is glued to the tv sport too, so I'm glad I can escape in here! I bet Alnwick Gardens tomorrow will be good. OH and I went over a decade ago and it was so well kept. |
