My pleasure! I've been looking for sloths for ages :)

No,  I'm trying to get a locked RSP unlocked so I can use it as a down payment on an older condo. Housing prices here are out of control. I just don't qualify. Worst case scenerio I just keep renting but even that is expensive!

It's a very old place but I'm comfortable here. It's not a long term thing but it buys me time

hi susannah,  oh my dear girl,  no need to apologise for late returns.. you have been through quite a lot, and i honestly don't envy you falling asleep/wanting to sleep, sometimes i'm like that, it's not nice..  dear me...  my toenail is fine.. didn't come off thank goodness.. hehe..  omg..  it was still attached at the bottom..  but my whole nail is black.. haha..   we are all extremely proud of grace..  she is also going to college in sept.. so all in all things are going well.. abby, (gemma') girl, is really very clever, she's just moved up a set for maths.. and she wants to do forensic..  our imogen wants to be in the police force.. hahaha..  she's said that from when she was 5...  i think she'll make a good one,  she arm wrestles the boys at school and beats them...  lol  what a character..  do take care susannah,  and stay well darlin.. sending big hugs my dear xxx

No worries about evacuation here. I moved into town, if I'm evacuated here Kelowna is toast. Thank you for your concern though xo

good morning Susannah from a wet and windy lauter valley, the garden real life that is approachung jungle mode, so much rain and clouds unable to really to keep it tidy, we are supposed to get sun on sunday but using motorised machines is illegal here on sundays and next week looks more of the same, what is there is growing fantastic, 1/2 a kilo of dill and 3 k of sugar snap peas during the week but the weeds, the weeds, they are approaching triffid level.
we have been told by the company we are to work from home until at least 2022, so thats good news ,  i have a 3 week break planned in august from the 1st will continue with the reno, and attempt to get 40,000 leagues under the sea which is the bathroom, got all te 3d underwater panels but to put in the washing machine and dryer ith the cabinet so they sit here wont come till end of august due to corona theres a huge backlog of installation work, so all is good, and today especially overnght the indigo pentagon arrived so that means rainbow sweet tooths, so once seen just the candy devils to do and finally all done they turn into a slog after a year and no reward just bragging rights.
so how is the health situation looking

hi susannah..   i know it seems ages since we last had a chat..  hope you are doing well..  i don't know how you've coped with the extreme heat. but like you say, stay indoors where it's cool.. shame about the fires with it being so dry too..  have we chatted since i fell off the bed and nearly took my big toe nail out, and thought i'd broken the other one,  oh well it turns out neither happened, my nail was saved as it hadn't come out completely.. omg..  the other one was just very badly bruised and is still tender.. lol..  won't be doing that again..  my gr.daughter no. 3 has just been accepted for a modelling contract so we are very pleased for her..  the days are just running into the next one, then it's the week-end..  still just plodding on, not sure about the easing of restrictions but boris seems to think its all ok..  off to bed with my book now huni.. sending a hug susannah. xx

Happy for you, a computer makes everything a bit easier. Right now I use my phone though, since I broke my right arm 5 weeks ago, I have to use my left hand when I use the computer, while I can use my right hand on my phone. Idon’t have to lift the arm, to write on the phone ;)
Have a lovely day sweetie 🌻
