    Thanks for the thoughts Rahkyt, Ulie, Lisab, Pickle.
    The comment about dragon bells set off a great big "That's what I want!", Junebug.
    Chukled over your wasp story, Caren.
    Pickle, all the best, I know it ain't no fun in hospitals, I was there for a mere 4 hours and could hardly wait to escape.
    Ulie, bats in the belfry, eh? Hope the poultice works, as I know it will!
    Nora, hope dad's alright.
    If I left anyone out then a special big hug for you, and they are really good ones so you're the luckiest.
    I've also been very tired, no matter how much I sleep. I'll wake up with a sore this or that - yesterday it was the back of my legs - take a short nap and it's gone.
    Work starts tomorrow so won't have as much time for Avalon the next few days.
    Gonna miss yoose all...

    Best wishes for your new job, Ernie, and may you find yourself in a great team of co-workers.
    The people you meet there will show you why you got that particular job, and not another.

    Just a quick update...

    My son is home from Ocean City, Maryland (VW car show) so I'm smiling BIG. We just finished dinner at home.

    I wish peace, love and blessings to everyone.

    Well, I should already be asleep but Bill's post got me going. I'm ready now though.
    Thanks Ulie. When I went to estimate the job, one of the tenants in the building was an artist. He's got paintings everywhere in his little room. When I commented that his art was good (really good) he was surprised. Later when I talked to the owner he said that guy has never even tried to sell any paintings because he thinks they're no good. Hope to help him with his misconception, maybe buy one off him - beautiful pastels of landscapes and oceans in aquas and blue and verdant greens!
    Have fun with your son, Junebug.
    Nitie nite all

    WAHEY! A chirpy morning to all - what have you done to me? I wake up this morning with a stiff neck..... I figure it's just my intelligence slipping down a bit, I'll do a headstand later to put it back.

    A warm summers day here in the NW UK, Autumn obviously forgot the Season's Union Rules lol.

    John, thanks for the little bird song that's in my head today!

    And I so wish I could fix you a plate at the table! I don't get that much appreciation for my cooking around here!

    Ernie, your new job has a wonderful vibe to it! So good that you can help the artist to have more confidence. A little appreciation can make a huge difference.
    I hope you are able to relax and be easy with all the gloom, and even with Bill's thread which I am thankful to know, but am not following every little post on it, just letting it be. I got some good advice from a friend that enabled me to let it go. I hope you can find some peace with it so it doesn't keep you up at night. <3

    Ulli, thank you for all the inspiration you give to us. Good luck with kitty today.

    Love to all Avalonians, and to friends on this thread.

    Yes Ulli - thank you for all the inspiration and encouragement you give so freely to all others - you are cherished here and we are grateful I will be thinking of you and your kitten today.
    Congratulations Ernie on your new job - that's great news! Thanks for the hug and here's one
    for you
    So nice your son is visiting JB! My daughter is home from away as well. She is Maid of Honor in her best friend's wedding this Saturday. It has been a busy few months for weddings in our family.
    My mum called this morning to say her friend is doing fine and that she sent him a fresh loaf of home made raisin bread as a Peace offering!
    I hope all are feeling less tired and healing nicely.
    Peace and love to everyone

    Kitty sneaked out during the night, vanished. Kitty psychic. Kitty knows what's up. Kitty guided by aliens.
    Ulli discovering twitter while waiting, maybe bring back kittie with birdie tweets.

    Haha, I love this talk of seniors. I'm there with you, Ulli! Although the age varies with the place, some start younger than others.
    Last month my credit union told me I get free checks because I'm in that golden age. teeheehee, I say. I still feel like a kid.

    The house is quiet and it's almost bedtime.

    Did everyone get over being comatose? I know I have ... am rested and full of energy ... in fact I could stay up another hour but have to get up in the morning.

    Hope Ulli's kitty is recuperating comfortably.

    Poor, poor Kitty didn't like the post operative pain at all.
    Now tucked in deep inside my closet and boarded up
    so the other cat can't get in there and disturb her.
    I wish my healing powers were more like ETs.
    Thanks for everyone's good vibes.
    Today I applied pressure point therapy to my knee which helped a lot.

    Its 11:00pm feeling really tired, thinking to myself that i should go to bed, hearing my dogs claws ticking the wooden floor as he walks to the toilet to slurp some water, thinking about tommorow, what to do?, how to do it? what will happen? then realizing that it doesnt matter because everything happens for a reason. Then im wondering how Ulli's cat is going or what is Ullie doing now. Then physical reality hits me and tells me that i have to wake up at 5 tommorow so i should probably stop talking about everything and nothing.

    Good night,

    12:26 AM, the 29th and so far California has not slid into the ocean, nor has the ocean slid into me. I've taken a hot bath, Now I'm on the bed, drinking a hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps ... the door is open to the garden, it is still warm, the fan is on in the bedroom. I have two candles lit, the lamps are dimmed down thanks to my nerd husband and his X10s. I wish McKnao was here. A gust of warm wind brushes my side.

    3:30 AM and a gentle rain is falling on my tent on a temperate night. A little oil filled electric heater keeps me toasty without any noise. To be able to communicate with the rest of the world while being where I am, as pictured in my avatar, still tickles me.
