Hi all
xxx



we're having warm wet weather here ....... what's sometimes called the "Pineapple Express". It comes straight across the Pacific from Hawaii :-)




............... I've been clambering around the branches of OH's tree for the last few days, trying to put "fini" to the family in the early 1800s. Not easy!

I think I'm going to have to agree with myself that I have found everything that there is to find ............... even if it means that I do not know when A was born or when and where B and C got married!




I'm slowly getting back to normal ......... whatever "normal" is :-D





Take care everyone

My 9 year old grand-daughter 'might' have had her ears pierced today :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

I am SO against this but think that I might be being unreasonable on the subject. ??

I tried to talk her out of it but then left the matter closed because I didn't want to interfere !!

What do you all think ?

My daughter had her ears pierced when she was about 13 .................... I insisted that she show me that she could keep herself clean for many weeks before I agreed.


Several years later, she took my niece's daughter to have her ears pierced.

The daughter was about 8, but had pleaded and pleaded to have it done. My niece did the same as I had done ....................... V had to show that she could keep herself clean, especially her ears.


I don't seriously have anything against it ....................... as long as the child is old enough to do the cleansing care that is necessary.

AND that the parents are sensible about the type of earring the child wears, especially at school or when playing games.



Mind you ................ we see many babies over here with pierced ears. It's part of a certain culture.

I was saying that to hubby earlier - I had seen many babies - some only weeks old with pierced ears - I personally find that totally sickening !!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose it must be a 'culture' thing ! :-S :-S :-S

I wasn't allowed my ears to be pierced, so my beautiful big sister took me anyway....1980

Too late mom!

It may just be a phase she is going through Dea. It could be that, when the novelty wears off, the holes will close over naturally and all will be back to normal... :-D

I'm not a big ear ring fan myself and never wear them because I don't particularly suit them.


OH started off okay but got worse during the morning - lots of groaning and moaning but he doesn't seem too bad now. I am worn out what with heaving him to his feet and running up and down stairs when he is laying flat on the bed (at my insistence), to try and ease the back pain.

Never mind, it could be a lot worse and, hopefully, the crisis will pass... :-)


Gins, many years ago, I mapped out a churchyard because the plans had gone missing. It took me several weeks of ploughing around inbetween headstones etc. and then typing it up (on an old manual typewriter) so that it could be understood.

I found that some of the confusion was caused by the fact that, as each new incumbent came along, he had his own way of sorting out the churchyard and much depended on how much land was available etc. Also, as most headstones face East, the shape of the yard came into consideration too.

This particular churchyard sprawled out towards a long established pond and some of the graves were waterlogged. It was a bit like burial at sea and I remember someone having their late wife's remain exhumed and re-buried in a drier spot.


Anyway, got my bathroom walls cleaned today quite easily as it happens, so that made me a happy bunny! :-D

Having babies pierced ....hmm?

It should be the individual persons choice, not a fashion statement

Babies are cute enough...no need for accessories

Interesting Cyns....re grave yards

Still don't get it!

Cyns


some of the most recent research on bad backs is not to lie in bed for too long.


Have you tried applying heat to OH's back ........ either a hot water bottle or a microwaveable heat pack?


I find my rice grain bag works wonders.

Hello everyone,

Forgot to visit yesterday.

Had the girls today and poor O was screaming saying her ear was sore temp spiking, fell asleep on sofa and woke up sobbing.

gave her paracetamol and she fell back asleep for almost an hour.

Sent Mummy a text and told her to phone and speak to Dr she did and got an appointment.

the Dr said they couldn't see into her ear due to a piece of wax they gave her antibiotics and also want a urine sample to see if anything is underlying, couldn't say what it might be.

Poor wee soul has been through the mill I blo**y told them last week she needed something :-|

Might not get back till after London got lots to do tomorrow as couldn't get moving today.

Good morning all :-D


Okay, I will rush over and put the kettle one.

Then I will hurry and get some bacon and eggs going.

Next, I will quickly get some crumpets under the grill.

Hopefully, if I am speedy enough, I will get the croissants and eggy bread ready. :-D



Gins....which bit don't you get?


I am only talking about churchyards, not municipal cemetaries.

Not all churchyards are of a regular shape - some are very irregular due to all sorts of reasons......buildings, lie of the land, permission to inter etc.

Each incumbent, with the assent of the PCC will have had his own method of how and where new interments go. For instance, if there is a family grave which is full, later members of that family will have to be buried elsewhere - usually in the newest part.

With an older churchyard, you will often find that the Lord of the Manor or whoever, is buried near to the church itself, whilst his retainers are moved further away.

As space becomes limited, either the churchyard is closed to new burials or a new piece of land is used - after consecration by the bishop.

Ooooh....I do find all of this fascinating but I can witter for England...... :-D :-D :-D



Sylvs....I hadn't heard that info but lying flat does work for me and it seems to be working for OH too......not too bad at all this morning.......here's hoping to an improvement :-D


Hope our granddaughter is okay Linds.....we grandmothers do know best sometimes don't we.... ;-)

Good morning all :-)

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Cynthia <3 <3 <3

Linds - I hope little 'O' gets better soon and that you and OH have a wonderful time in London.

Give my love to everyone.

Dea Xxx

Thanks for the info Cyns, I'll have to go back and look further. I would have thought they would have a headstone as they were pretty well off

Poor O has had that ear problem for too long now. Could it be a build up of wax that is causing her pain? Hows her hearing?

Mind you..............the size of your mouth, she'd have to be stone deaf not to hear you ;-)

Just a quick visit.

Gins - cheeky mare ;-)

No her hearing is ok but she is as pale as a ghost this has been going on since before Christmas. time they listened to her Mum and Gran :-)

She did sleep last night but still pale this morning.

Cynthia hope your OH continues to improve.

Dea <3

Off to get some bits and pieces then get packed.

Aw..........bless her

Hope they get it sorted soon Linds

Off to the hospital in a bit for a consultation over my 'claw'

:-0

Got to the hospital 30 mins early, saw me straight away and was on my way home 5 minutes after my original appointment!

Srummy consultant, about my age too............answered a lot of questions, had a sense of humour and gave me another 'slush' jab into the wrist

No pain.............yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Called at Sainsbury's local on my way home and was served by the prettiest, happiest assistant I have ever met

It's the little things that cheer you up :-D

Glad it's going well Ginns !!
