Thanks for the lovely breakfast Sylvia - Cynths will be SO pleased to have the 'proper' plates back :-D

Ginns - my favourite sound??

Not really quite sure?? I think, maybe that old fashioned sound of a grandfather clock ticking steadily in a quiet house - reminds me of my childhood ans visits to elderly relatives :-)

Apart from that - perhaps the sound of bacon sizzling in the pan ;-) :-D :-D

Oh goody! 'Proper' crockery again......thank you Sylvs........ :-D



Thanks for the good wishes folks - will keep you posted.



Dea, if you move a bit closer, you will hear the sound of a grandfather clock ticking - I'm sitting just a few yards from one and, to be honest, I rarely hear it tick or chime because I'm so used to it. I suppose I take it for granted really.



I love the sound of the sea lapping on the seashore......... :-D


Dea's sizzling bacon brought back some memories though......


When my dad got his first car back in the 60's, we would travel to see my grandparents 'down south'. On the way we would pull in for a picnic 'breakfast' in any grassy quiet place which appealed to us. Parking was a lot less restricted in those days and the traffic was less.


From the car, my dad would produce a small primus stove, a kettle, a frying pan, a packet of bacon and other bits and pieces. He did it all himself because my mum had difficulty getting out of the car because of the MS.


He would get the little fire going and put the bacon on to fry gently. It was 'proper' bacon without the white gunge that you get now and the
aroma of that bacon frying stays with me to this day. Absolutely wonderful.


oooooh......I've gorn all nosteralgic....... :-D

Your fav sound would have to involve food Dea!


Its not stopped belting down all day here :-|

I put the sizzling bacon sound in just because I knew you would expect me too Ginns ;-) :-D

Actually, I just love the sound of little children singing at the school concerts and performances etc. , especially at Christmas. It always makes me cry :-)

Dea Xxx

3 days watching GD???? Whats this Linds?

They have been babysitting little Grand-daughter Ginns !!!


Sheeeesh!!!!!!!!! - You don't keep up with the rest of us do you ?? :-D

Dea Xxx

Just wait until you have grand-children Ginns - If any of us are still 'around' , we won't half have a go at you :-D :-D ;-)

Dea Xxx <3

Oh, I thought it was a TV programme!


Doh

..........and I never want grand kids


................worry too much about my own kids

I( just hope that your sons do not surprise you then Ginns ;-)

I expect it will happen one day and I am sure that you will be very happy about it :-)

Dea Xxx

Nope......never

Don't believe it Ginns !!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Dea yes completely cream crackered and we do it all again next week ;-<3 ;-) thanks for best wishes he says he's going himself - no point in me going not seeing anyone just a scan :-| aargh hubbies :-P
Gins 3 days watching tv in what universe ;-) just wait till you are a gran you will love it and dont forget you get to hand them back ;-) I cant wait till no 2 arrives in November :-D :-D :-D cant make up my mind if I would prefer another GD dont mind really but after 3 sons it was lovely to have a GD and to knit and buy girly clothes :-)

Yes - they are all the same Linds.

Last week, when he had the 'whatever it was' and the paramedic said that he should go to A & E, he insisted that I didn't need to go as I would 'just be waiting around' !! - Can you imagine what state I would have been in sitting at home while he was there for 9 hours and not knowing what was happening???

He even said that there was no need for an ambulance as he 'could go on the bus' !"!!!!!!!!! :-0 :-0 :-|

They think that they are trying to protect us but don't realise that we suffer more waiting at home!

Hubby has said that he is going to see the GP on his own about it and I think I know what is going to happen and would like to be there BUT, I know that I have been diagnosed with several serious problems over the past few years and there have been times when I have wanted to be independent and cope with thing on my own so I have to respect what he wants. :-( :-( :-(

Just make his promise that he will tell you EVERYTHING when he gets back home.
