Hello everyone,
Sniff....I have a cold, well not just any old cold but Roman`s cold to be exact...lol! Never mind I`m not complaining, it could be worse.
It`s been an eventful weekend with Kerry and Slava having made an offer on a house yesterday and they are crossing their fingers that the seller will accept it. There is no onward chain and the property is vacant so if all goes well they should be moving in about six weeks time. It`s a lovely little house in North East Hampshire which is about 30 something miles from here. Kerry said it`s a nice little town/village with a school just around the corner from the house. It sounds lovely and I`m praying that they`ll be successful in their bid.
Yesterday evening despite Jim having a cold also we visted some friends who were having a small get together in their garden. We had a wonderful evening with lots of food, drink and good conversation. At the end of the evening we all sat around the fire pit to keep warm and played silly games and told scary stories. Who says we had to act like grown-ups? lol! Two of our friends have life-threatening illnesses and they both have a positive outlook on life. After chatting to one of them I truly wondered if I could be so strong in her situation...I think not and I admire her courage, it makes me feel very humble and puts my own trivial problems into perspective. My mouth has been giving me trouble again but I didn`t mention it last night, it just seemed pointless.
As I said my mouth started hurting again so on Friday it was back to the dentist again. My dentist is on holiday so I saw his partner again. He`s a very nice man who instantly puts you at ease and the first thing he said to me was "You`re not having a lot of luck with this are you?" He found that I had what he called shrapnel coming out of the side of the gum so he pulled it out and it felt a bit better. It seems that fragments of bone are finding their way out and I think there are so more to come yet...sigh! It`s been three weeks on Tuesday since the tooth was removed, surely it will settle down soon.
This afternoon we had a nice Sunday lunch in the garden under the gazebo. Kerry and Roman came over and we all tucked in al fresco. The weather has been wonderful all week and the last two days have been really hot just as it`s supposed to be in August. Now we shall see if it stays nice or it goes back to the wet and miserable conditions that we`ve grown used to this summer.
Tomorrow I`m back at work after a lovely week off, and though I can`t say it was relaxing I certainly made good use of my time. So I`ll say good night to you all and hope you have a nice week. :o)

Sorry to hear about you having a cold.Good luck to Kerry and Slava.Hope they do get their offer accepted.These days couples find it difficult to buy a house cos of the rising prices.round here you'd need at least £100,000 to buy just a modest terraced house.if you wanted a semi youd be looking at £130,000 or more.30 miles aint to bad knowing you you will be draggin Jim round there often lol.Ooo dear you visited friends yesterday prob passed the cold on to em lol.You sat around the fire pit to keep warm?? where did you go the antartic lol.Sorry to hear about your other friends having life threatening illness that must be awful knowing death is coming.Yes as you say your mouth probs are trivia compared to theirs.I really hope that your mouth will settle down real soon.Glad you enjoyed your sunday lunch.its been lovely weather for august so far.its gunna be a warm night.There is no air here at all its heavy.Hope you have a lovely week ahead.Good night to you sleep well. xxx

That is just to much having a cold and gum problems both at the same time. I hope you feel better soon. Hoping that Kerry and Slava will get that house. It is hot here. The forcast is for the mid to high 90's this next week. We did get a good shower of rain today. Hugs, Helen
I hope Kerry gets her house . . .fingers crossed for her. Sounds like you had a good time in your friends garden.Some people are really brave arent they. . .I often wonder about this too and where the strength comes from. Hope your mouth is better soon.
i have had many friends have bone come along after a tooth extraction and hurt them. I pray yours is all gone and no more pain. I will keep my fingers crossed for your daughter and her DH. I pray they get this cute home.
Love,lisa jo
I do hope you're feeling better today Sandra. My husband Peter has had a cold too and they say there's nothing worse than a summer cold. He has even kept away from the new baby because of it. Let's hope the offer on the new house gets accepted, as you say if it does then they could be moving in really soon, how exciting for them! Love, Pat http://journals.aol.co.uk/pm71blackfen/ramblings-from-pat/
Hi Sandra sorry to hear you have not been feeling well with a cold and that your mouth is still giving you trouble with bits of bone still in your gum .I cross fingers all will go well with the house Kerry and Slava would like to buy ,its such a stressful time I found when we were looking for a bungalow to buy ,but it all turned out well in the end ...Love Jeanxx
Fingers crossed for Kerry and Slava!!! Hope your cold clears up soon; we were still at 23c degrees here at 10pm last night, it was sooooo hot!
tooth trouble is a nightmare!
Good luck with the house

Sandra I hope your cold gets better and your mouth soon heals ~ I can't think of anything worse than tooth/Jaw ache ~ I hope Kerry and Slava get the house they are after and 30 miles isn't too far away ~ would be lovely as there is no chain and they could move straight in ~ I wish them good luck ~ The school would be handy for Roman when he starts ~ Sounds like you had fun at your friends get together and it is lovely to play silly games ~ Glad your friends have a positive outlook on there illnesses~ I do hope they will be OK ~ Ally x
Wonderful news with Kerry and Slava having placed a bid on a house. Sorry to hear you and Jim have colds as well as your mouth still being a bit of a bother. Sounds like you had an enjoyable week off with wonderful weather, although busy.
Here's to hoping you Brits continue to have glorious weather after all the rain this summer has offered thus far. (Hugs) Indigo
hello! It's so nice to meet you. I've just been spending my afternoon visiting new journals. Love yours. I'll be adding you to my alerts. Check out my journal when you have some time.

I hope the young ones are successful with their bid for the house it is so hard for young people just now. That tooth certainly has been a bother to you. It will be my turn soon as I am getting new dentures and I know what that is going to be like from experience. Have a good week. Love Joan.
