General Chit Chat - April 2023

[Suzi]

Morning all! How's things?

Jaq - how's the studying going?
Paula - are you pacing?

I went out yesterday to Cardiff to meet up with our eldest and his girlfriend. A very long journey but so worth it! We had a wonderful meal at Ask Italia, a wander round Cardiff castle grounds and it was so lovely to meet up with them - her in particular as she's so shy and it was lovely to see her more confident. They do make a wonderful couple.

Anyway, today is therefore a definite rest day...

[Paula]

Yes, only now about to start study ;)

[Suzi]

Good, I'm glad you are taking a bit of a pacing and resting situation ;)

[Jaquaia]

Not great. I have a full day ahead of me as I have a presentation to submit tomorrow. Combination of lack of motivation, fatigue, pain etc.

[Paula]

(panda)

[Suzi]

How's it going Jaq? Did you get it done? What's the presentation about?

Paula, I want to know more about your magic chair! Which one did you get?

[Paula]

I’ve emailed the details to you ;)

[Jaquaia]

Still working on it. It doesn't need to be complete though, which helps. This submission is more for peer review.

[Suzi]

You'll do brilliantly I know you will..

My plans for the day changed when the top step decided to jump and catch my foot so I went splat at the top of the stairs - better falling forwards, rather than backwards. I'm a bit fed up of it. That's 3 significant falls in 3 weeks now. I did manage to get a phone appointment with my GP (tis nothing short of miraculous, I've been trying every day for the past couple of weeks) and I'm to have chest xray, lots and lots of blood tests and a referral when she works out which department I need to see...
So today's plan of buying Easter Eggs has been put back to tomorrow...

[Jaquaia]

We got Moo an Easter Unicorn!!!

Do you need to tie multiple cushions to your body? How sore are you? (panda)

[Jaquaia]

One of them blow up sumo suits?

[Paula]

Ooo yes that’s a great idea!

[Suzi]

OMG SOOOOO Cool!

Honestly? I'm sore in strange places, my knees are really bad as is my r shoulder and my left hip... I'll be fine, it's just a dodgy month.

Ooo yes that’s a great idea!

You're hilarious and mean, but actually it's exactly what I'd suggest too! (rofl)(rofl)(rofl)

[Jaquaia]

Dodgy month? It's only the 4th!!!! You better get those suits on order now!!!!

[magie06]

I know how you feel Suzi. My leg has some how become tangled in the strap of my bag, while I've been getting out of the car. I've fell out of the car twice in the last few weeks.

[Strugglingmum]

Oh no Suzi. Hope those aches ease soon.
I fell backwards out of the car last week....dont ask!!
Luckily I only jarred myself.

[Suzi]

OK, Jaq maybe a couple of months!

Magie, SM oh no! I was hoping it was just me, not a whole DWD crew! Hope you both recover quickly.

[Paula]

Pfft not all…… but the nights young;)

[Suzi]

(rofl) (rofl) (rofl)

[Suzi]

OK today is a rest day as I went out last night with our middle one to see Freedom by Johannes Radebe (Strictly Come Dancing) and OMG! I've never seen a show like it! It was so amazing, if you like dance or music or seeing a man so humble and who openly cries at being overwhelmed for selling out a venue, then you really do need to go!!!

[Paula]

Yay! I’m so glad you have fun! Now sit, put your feet up and eat chocolate!

[OldMike]

Looks like you had a great time Suzi, random info triple choc chip muffins are my fav comfort food these days though a choc orange would be close second ;)

[Paula]

Hey Mike! You’re back (party)
