The CBC rradio eplayed the Remembrance Day Ceremony from the National War Memorial in Ottawa at 11 am our time (3 hours after it had actually happened) ................

It was very interesting to hear the famous reading ..........


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.


being given in English, French AND Inuktituk (one of the main Inuit (Eskimo) languages).

Linda ........

so sorry to hear about Star (((hugs))) for you all.



OH has to have that test done in February ........... it's become routine for us!


Good luck with the results for it. xxx

we're going to be either very busy or away for the rest of the week.

OH's sister and 2 of her friends will be spending tomorrow with us, between planes.

I also have physio tomorrow

Then we are going to visit with our friend on the Island for the rest of the week.




so, don't be surprised if you don't see me ................. but don't send out the search parties until after next weekend :-D

Sylvia,

Enjoy your visitors tomorrow and your visit with your friend x

So sorry to hear about Star......I can well understand how your son and his partner must feel. Such a worry.


Had to go to docs with OH this morning as he has a cough which makes his chest hurt. She can't find anything wrong so he just has some linctus. He is 77 tomorrow and I just wonder where the years have gone. :-S


Enjoy your visitors Sylvs and I am sure that you will soon qualify as an official Bed and Breakfast establishment.... :-D :-D


I've been watching a programme about JFK - it's the 50th anniversary of his death. I surprised myself as I found it quite fascinating and its one of those dates where people can remember where they were at the time they heard the news of his death. Must be getting old!!

Off to bed now.....night night all....

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~

The kettle is on and some crumpets under the grill

Good morning all :-)

Lovely crumpets Ginns - thank you, I haven't had them for ages <3

Oopps - I have eaten 3 and now I have no room left for bacon so I will have to have that later ;-) :-D

Porridge is on the go for Cynthia.................

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Good morning and thank you for the crumpets Gins...........lashings of butter and some Marmite.....yummy.... :-D


Going off to see son soon because his back is playing up. He had an op on it a few years ago so hope we're not going down that path again.... :-0


Beautiful morning but we are in for some rain apparently.......never mind, compared to what is happening overseas, it's nothing. Nothing at all. Those poor, poor people :-(


Back later.....

Good morning all,

I hope that everyone's problems and ailments, both at home and abroad, can soon be reduced in size.

Cyn, please convey my birthday wishes to George, wish him Many More Happy Returns!

Oh yes - I meant to say that too. :-0

Happy Birthday to Cynthias OH <3 <3 <3

Cynthia

Please wish your OH a Happy Birthday x

I find Covonia is really good for chesty coughs they also do one for tickly coughs.

Hope he feels better soon.

Ooops....Happy Birthday to Cyns OH :-)

Are you getting a Chinese for dinner?

Chinese spring chicken with sweet and sour 'Cavonia' sauce !!! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

That will do the trick Cynths with plenty of Ginger !!!

Hi Sylvia - nice to see you <3 <3 <3

Now then, before you all think I have gone mad - I can assure you that I haven't !!

The 'Chinese' thing has just brought back some memories of when I was around 7 years old and I was involved in the opening scene of a School Christmas Play ! :

(I am Wing Lee) :............................... sorry - all shushhh there at the back - I am just 'setting the scene' !!


Curtains open..............

"Will you help me fly my kite Wing Lee?"

"No, Fong Hoi (or it might have been Hong Foi??) , there is not enough wind. Let us sit here beneath the branches of the peach tree and wait for news about the baby who is to be born today"

That's it then - I suppose that you can all work out the rest of the story :-D :-D :-D

I just wonder who on earth wrote the thing in the first place and why on earth we were performing it in 1950's Salford???

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Anyway, I believe I was VERY good !!

Dea Xxx

How was 'Wing Lee' related to the Christmas story :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Haven't the foggiest Ginns but they must have Christmas in China I suppose???
