matina, I received this photo late this morning from my bushwalking friend. He took the train to the mountains from Lithgow and walked out to Boronia Point! So no cappuccino today. Sunny and nice at my house . . . 15 degrees earlier, but felt warmer in the sun. Sunnya joined me in the backyard. Rishi slept in. Hope you can get yogi to the vet. Keep us posted.

Katy, we have a wonderful bakery here in Leura as well. In fact, we're spoiled for choice with restaurants, coffee shops, delis, etc. I'm looking forward to my own eye test, hoping that my new lenses will mean the removal of the 'S' on my driver's licence. Hope you're having a good day.

Bye for now, everyone. . .

HELLO ALL!
PJ nice picture as usual. it has been a quiet day i am still not feeling quite myself ;-(
KATHY yes they were the days now with political correctness gone mad none of those shows would be appropriate and they would never make it on the television anymore very sad indeed. fresh homemade bread is nice but as you say the cost is more expensive and it doesn't last as long;-( the vet clinic called again saying the vet is still unwell and he may not turn up for tomorrows appointment so they have made another one for next Thursday which has now put a great big rock in my schedule lets hope he is at work tomorrow yogi had another on the run night every hour on the hour;-( he isn't always in the on the run mode he goes from that to normal or constipated stools to the runs again almost like diverticulitis he definitely has taken after mum in that respect. If he was having it all the time i would have taken him to see anyone available but the visit is also for other things that have been previously discussed with the vet time i don't have to reiterate to another vet what is going on. everything is complicated in our lives that is for sure.
i hope all the regulars/lurkers who are not as regular anymore are well and are safe and happy god bless and be with you all. please pop in and update us on what is going on.

Morning everyone

Matina i was reading about some old MGM or Universal studios movies I think Amazon bought the rights so apparently they want to remake some of the classics because they're not politically correct can't we just have something left alone :( :? Let's hope the vet gets to what's causing yogis problems let us know :D Hi Pj how are you and the fuzzies :? we are starting to get some nice cafes restaurants etc around here it used to be all farmland as the new shopping centres are finished :) we also recently discovered a large Italian deli at Gregory Hills a new estate there :D about ten minutes away :D anyhoo all the best now to get some washing done :) take care everyone :D

HELLO ALL!
YAY vet was at work today Yogi is looking well but vet needs to get a couple of stool samples to send off for testing to see if anything is wrong with him etc he has ordered a probiotic that i can pick up next week when it comes in but for the mean time it is chicken and puppy biscuits for him now no treats etc see how we get on he also lost one of his baby teeth today too so far so good.
I am still feeling under the weather blood tests came back ok dr says if my pain worsens then an ultrasound will be done.so we wait and see approach.
OH KATHY it is so nice to have good places like that around as this way you can get out of cooking most of the time when you factor in buying all the stuff you need to make it and the power too it is cheaper to buy it already made fresh, wish i was there ;-)
PJ so nice to hear that you had a nice time away from home with a friend for a wonderful cappuccino ;-) a good coffee goes a long way!
speaking of coffee time for mine ;-)
be safe everyone and god bless and be with you all.

matina, so glad that you finally got little yogi to the vet. Hope the tests solve the problem. Had similar trouble with my kittens seven years ago, before I put them on their present special diet, as recommended by the vet. That solved everything very quickly and they've been good ever since. This afternoon my bushwalking friend told me all about his recent walk from Mt. Vic station to Boronia Point yesterday. He enjoyed great autumn weather for his trek to such a beautiful place . . . unlike today, which was very cool and rainy. After cappuccinos, we walked around Leura Mall and chatted, and then I drove him over to Katoomba, where I had an errand, and he eventually headed off to Coles and then the train back to Lithgow. Hope you can solve your own medical problems, at least partly. Must have my kidney CT but will wait until next week. Can be done at Katoomba.

Katy, it can be great to have the conveniences of 'civilisation' close at hand, as well as nature. I feel like I'm living in the perfect place, with the National Park literally right across the street. Am now waiting for my Woolworth's delivery. No need to haul heavy things to and from the car.

Bye for now . . .

Hello :wave:

Morning Pj yes your lucky where you live :D we are slowly being built out here in only the couple of years we've been here a lot if the local farmland has now been sold to developers sad really :( but my market gardeners neighbours are holding strong they supply a lot o f the local shops restaurants in Camden I'd miss them if they went :? Matina puppies eat anything on the ground as you said :? one can only hope he settles with some help :D I have to renew my license today dragging the family along so shopping and lunch :D have a good day hugs xo

matina, hope your appointment goes well today. I have some visitors coming this evening and again tomorrow. So will be doing some cleaning up soon. 14 degrees but doesn't feel too cold, because there's no wind.

Katy, yes, very sad. When the new airport is completed, I expect a population boom from Penrith right up to Springwood. Should raise everyone's property prices. Locals around here are very environment-conscious and have knocked back a lot of development in the 15 years I've lived here. I'm on the Sublime Point Escarpment committee myself, so hear a lot about what's planned. More autumn leaves below!

Bye for now . . .

matina, hoping so much that you can find a solution to your pain. Sending lots of good wishes, as always. Good news about progress with yogi. He's still very young and I think he'll get better and better as he leaves puppy-hood behind. You probably know the weekly TV show called 'Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly' where the English dog-whisperer solves everyone's dog problems (much worse than yogi). Hope you enjoy today's visit with your cousin.

Katy, sorry about your troubles at the motor registry. I had a less serious problem at the chemist when they couldn't fill my script because my doctor had sent it to me via text to my iPhone. The good news was that the next day they had their computer problems fixed. May stay with the old-fashioned paper scripts after all! Sunny and autumny up here and not too cold. My ash tree is now wine-coloured. Must take a photo today.

Bye, everyone . . .

More autumn leaves emerging everywhere, including just off my back deck.

matina, are you and your mother enjoying a pub lunch today? Let us know. Became quite cool here when the sun disappeared this morning, but Sunnya stayed with me out in the backyard. I finally came inside and put the central heating on low. Must go out front and snap a shot of my ash tree, which is looking pretty good now, as is my little red maple.

Katy, I'm still not ready to give up on my e-scripts because they seem like they could be so handy . . . always right there on my iPhone, whenever you want them. Have added my driver's licence too and also my credit cards. Anyhow, all caught up on my meds now, and one of the new ones (prostate) could possibly be working. Fingers crossed. Hope you have a great Sunday!
