Good Morning!!
Last hot and humid day, tomorrow we’ll be back to our normal Spring weather in the low 20’s C, PHEW The sun is shining brightly, there should be nasty thunderstorms as the cold meets the hot.
No need to water the garden this morning, we had a short downpour yesterday evening.
I’ll be doing a bit of weeding in the morning and visiting my old friend Rita this afternoon.
Lulu, great that your caricature was so well appreciated.
Geoff, maybe you need to see your doctor about your “shivery” feeling?? Nice long sleep though:thumbsup:
Doug, your garden is full of colour again, lovely!! Glad your back is feeling a bit better.
Anita,
that the new house owner is a cat lover.JJ, how is your knee doing?? As to my hip, I have actually started wondering about a bursa.
to you Annie, Bill and Ellen and wish us all a really good day!!!P.S.: I forgot to say Sharon, I loved your pictures in yesterday’s Wash.
Uschi
Early here too, the day is looking good so far, but we need rain soon. Watered the most recently planted bed last evening, photos today.Lovely garden shots Sharon!
Annie!Sounds delicious, Lulu, I may have to bake later
Doug, that sounds just like my back too, was not sure if it was hip or back as the pain wasn’t going right down my leg this time. Still, them bones are all connected…. Glad yours has eased off a bit. Am trying Tylenol arthritis and it does seem to be helping. Can’t tolerate the anti inflammatories, unfortunately.
Thanks, JJ, take care of that knee
Greetings to all, and hugs to those in need
:grouphug: Edit I was slow typing!
Looks pretty good to me Doug, nice colour mix already.
Cheers, Lynn

"Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering, There is a crack in everything, That's how the light gets in" Leonard CohenLynn, I’m using Ralgex Heat Spray and it seems to be doing the trick. I spoke to the pharmacist and he recommends it over ibuprofen etc tablets.
Sorry to bore you with garden photos.

We must leave our mark on this worldGood Morning and Happy First day of June! It’s cloudy, humid and hot down here in the SW of Ontario. We haven’t had any rain yet. It keeps going around us.
We have more gardening to get through today. Hopefully, we’ll get it finished and then do some watering. We still need to clear some of the phragmites down by the water’s edge so we can get the dock in. These noxious plants are incredibly invasive and choke out all the other wetland plants growing in the lowlands.
We need a few grocery items… nothing much.
I usually check the Wash before shutting down the computer when I go to bed (if I haven’t already logged off) and I did see those posts last night. Then… Doug, you thoroughly confused me when I saw them in today’s Wash this morning! Had to give my head a shake!
Lulu, your caricatures are THAT good!
Bill, what a workout! I know that Ted does his 3 hour lawn workout as well.
Sharon, may I use your peony photo?
Sounds like it was a catastic night for you Annie!
:thumbsup: that the heat spray is working for you, Doug. Ibuprofen is really hard on your liver, so it’s great that you can avoid it. As usual, your garden looks gorgeous!
Jj, we like to go out once in awhile… in fact, I really like Sunday morning brunch at a little place beside a railway track in town. We do that 2 or 3 times a year.
Anita, I hope you don’t have to find new homes for your cats!
Uschi, I do hope it cools down. We’re just not ready for all this heat yet.
Hi Lynn… I have a big bottle of Tylenol Arthritis that doesn’t help me at all. I’m going to turn it in at the pharmacy, I think.
OMG… poor ((Lisa)), Steve!!! I sure hope she’s feeling better now.
Ted needs my help outside… time to go. Have a great day everyone! It’s a blank slate and we can fill it up with lots of good stuff.

I suddenly remembered that I had my blood test yesterday, of course had to check it right away, Liver is good but my Parathyroid is still spewing out too much hormone meaning it still puts too much calcium in my blood means that it affects my kidney function which because of it is not terribly awful but not working up to par.
Half hour after checking I received a phone call from the Parathyroid Surgeon, they had a cancellation and can fit me in on June 12th. That’s in 1 1/2 weeks!!! Remember, the scans cannot find my Parathyroid so this is an exploratory surgery with the hope that the exploring finds the darn thing and if so, take it out:crossfingers:
The only painkiller that really works for me is the Aspirin Extra strength, it really is an excellent anti inflamatory. I haven’t taken one since I stopped playing table tennis last November. I’d have to take one every day if I want to walk reasonably without pain and that would be disastrous for the stomach and my already compromised kidney.
Char, if you ever try the oil you mentioned yesterday let me know how and if it works. Doug with his really good intention did a number on my brain too:D
Steve
for Lisa, that is such an awful feeling. I sure hope it leaves her system pronto pronto!!!Doug, I don’t think one can get that spray here.
Lynn and Char, nice gardening weather tomorrow.
UschiGood morning. The past hour has been exciting.
Phone woke us up letting us know that John’s MRIs have been scheduled for next Friday for both of his feet and ankles.
Called the pest control people, because I found ants all over the foundation of the house in front. I sprayed with my spray, but that will not stop them. They will come out Tuesday.
Looked at my cell phone and there were texts from the City of Desoto telling me I could pay my fines for the DUI/Speeding tickets. The man who had my cell phone number before me still gives it out to everyone. So, I called the courthouse, and they removed his number and put a note in the file.
Today, we go back to the car dealership to get the spare tire we ordered for the car and bumper protection film. I laugh because I am driving more these last two weeks than I have in a long time.
We eat out a lot as you know. We love Five Guys hamburgers and fries, but you spend more on them than a sit-down meal at Chili’s. Their hamburgers are just as good, so we stopped going to Five Guys. We ate at Longhorn Steakhouse last night. It was the second time I order their small sirloin, and it was the second time it was tough. I told John that the sirloin at Chilis is better, so another place is scratched off our list.
After John’s doctor visit, we went to Ikea. I had to get a new office chair with a padded seat and buy seat cushions for our kitchen chairs. Doctor’s orders to sit on soft chairs to prevent any more issues with my tail bone.
Lulu, Loved your cartoon. Keep exercising. I am restricted to walking right now, but we are getting our steps in by visiting air conditioned malls and stores.
Annie, Is a two-cat night warmer than a three-dog night? The only time Lucy joined us was when a thunderstorm made noise.
Doug, Your garden looks lovely! Mine is in a circle around the patio. I have some annuals coming up that reseeded themselves from last year.
Less flowers for me to buy.Geoff, Your symptoms sound like the end results of a fever. You might want to call the doctor’s office to get checked out.
Uschi, Stay safe when the storms hit!
Lynn, Tylenol is all I can take now, too! It works much slower than the other pain killers.
Ellen, Hope you get all your chores finished.
Steve, I hope Lisa is feeling better today. I am glad she stayed home.
Char, Summer has arrived if you are putting in the dock!
Bill, Our spring was about three days, too. We went directly to summer and have 97+ degrees for the near future. The humidity has dropped and there is a breeze, so we can still work outside if we have to.
Must get going! Hope everyone has a fun day!

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."- EinsteinHi all,
Sorry. Didn’t get back here. Did not much for my birthday. Went to the pool for my half mile swim. Later made up the ground beef into hamburger patties. Froze all but one. Had that with grilled onions, baked beans, fresh carrots and a vodka tonic. Finished my Peter Lovesey then started another Alan Furst spy novel. Finished that one yesterday and started another.
Also reading a very interesting book on “Broadway.” Not the theatre, but the actual street. The author, Fran Leadon, traces the history of the street mile by mile as NYC is built up around it. I’m only on mile two. I believe it’s thirteen miles(?) and traverses the entire length of Manhattan.
Anita is there nothing in your lease about pets? If there is he can’t make you give them up. If there isn’t maybe you can negotiate. But you may need to consult a housing advocate in your area. I don’t have a date yet. I have to have some tests done first to make sure there are no circulatory or heart problems.
Doug I’m not sick of your garden. You may be sick of advice though. I suggest seeing a physical therapist if your doctor will agree. A simple set of exercises to rebalance the muscles could prevent future episodes. But only a PT is going to know which ones. I do most of mine in bed before getting up and before going to sleep. They are helping.
Uschi
they can find out what the problem is. Sorry your hip is hurting too.Char what’s the timeline on the counter tops now? If she paints the kitchen will it be okay when they put in the counters? I always thought painting was last.
Lynn hope your great grand arrives soon without any problems! I would suggest the same thing for you as Doug.
Steve could it be the starter motor? The solenoid went on mine and so the battery wouldn’t charge and . . . New starter motor wasn’t too expensive.
Okay gotta go.
Kay"Don't look back, we're not going that way." (Marcia Wallace)
Uschi the Canadian version of Ralgex is called Deep Relief Heat Spray by Mentholatum. It contains a form of aspirin according to the pharmacist.
Thanks for the advice on PT for my sciatica. I know the exercises and do them before I get up in the morning. Actually, this isn’t the full-blown sciatica that I have had several times and should be gone in a few days at this rate.
It has been another hot day here.
Went to the pharmacy and then across the road for fish and chips – saves me cooking.
Doug
