Fiona ,`it's been ages now waiting for that appointment.Maybe you should give a ring and make sure they haven't lost your referral.
Mandy yes ,they were being interviewed.But I don't know who by :-S.We just had Hannah ,James and Jess ready for a photo and suddenly these people pounced on them (with the fluffy brush)lol

Must dish up Dinner now.

Jane Hi did you have a nice time.I loved the pictures and hope it all went off ok at James graduation.

David so pleased you like the bungalow and are looking forward to moving.Ellen will soon settle down. Nice not to have stairs when you get very old which we all do sooner or later. My mum had a bungalow and when she got ill we were glad not to have stairs.. But I hope you will have good health and be very happy David. You will be in there now .

The weathers been dull but dry but it is so dark everywhere it drives me bonkers.I had to suffer Beryl today most of the afternoon was spent with her telling me about Donnies legs they were a funny shape. Poor Donnie
We played scrabble on the computor Beryl won.Sophia popped round
and my gosh those two did not get on well Sophia said to me I need a bra extender can you buy them on the web. Beryl said I have a large hammock
or a clothes line at home. Sophia hit Beryl with her bag and went off home thankfully. I was a having a giggle but felt sorry for Sophia really but she does stuff herself full of cake .Beryl did not have to be so rude.
I took Beryl home and Donnie was asleep in the chair and Beryl tipped some tea on his head. he jumped up and said Bell why you do that Im all wet now girl. I said my ho would murder me if I tipped tea on his head
and Donnie said dont temp me sheil maybe I will wait until shes in bed and do it. I went and left them to sort it out.
It is her daughters birthday tomorrow Elvira is giving a party and Pandora
asked Beryl to go and sing. I am not going. three of them like Beryl is too much.

FIONA hope you feel better .I have that problem since I have been on the diabetic tablet. I just dont feel like eating a lot. Late at night I get some pain. NITE everyone have a nice evening.

Morning Everyone.
I have been out and done the walk already!.Chris was up just after 5 and I had my first cuppa at 5 20.The sky is wall to wall sunshine so I was up showered and hairwashed by just after 7.Now Chester has had his breakfast and pill. I am off to Tes**to get a few bits just in case ours visitors arrive at lunch time.

Shirl I did hear on the news that many states in the USA were having this terrible heat .I didn't realise it was with you too.I couldn't bear it.
Stay cool girl .

BBL

Morning All

Jane, I don't have a number for the hospital, the doctor did say, it was up to the hospital to decide weather they would do an endiscope.and they in turn will send me an appointment
I am ringing the doctors this afternoon for results of my recent blood test ,I will also ask them about my white cells.

Wow Shirl, thats just too hot must really be uncomfortable, mind you we here in the UK would love just a little bit of that sun and heat, Scotland has not seen much of a summer this year, beginning of July was ok, but the rain is always not so far away.

Hi Sheila
yes this indigestion is getting me down, though I have changed my diet, no coffee, no chocolate(sob sob) no Ice cream , all low fat foods,
no sauces, (salad,cream ,Tom sauce) Just lots of white meats, fish , pastas, rice. potatoes, no chips. miss going out for lunches with friends & family but have had some nice picnics & BBQ's when the weather has been good,

MIL coming up tonight, so I have only got to clean bathroom, dust and hoover, and to do a bit of cleaning in the kitchen , then I'm done. not too hard to keep tidy when there's just OH & me .

Morning All,

thanks for the lovely pics Jane. My fvorite one is of James and Hannah. What a lovely pair of children. Diud you have to stay in the Cathedral for the whole of the presentations?

Hope Kim is feeling a little better today.

Sheila is it like a cats chorus when Beryl sings? or has she a lovely voice.

I worked all day in the garden but today is dull and we have just had a shower. OH got on ok with the side of the road and is about two thirds of the way up there. I weeded the border. I have a kind of running weed that is like a thistley dandylion. It is a real pain as you think you have cleared it and then it pops up somewhere else or right in the middle of a plant. Thank goodness it is only on the end of the border. All the foxgloves have finished at the moment and look awfull as they have gone all brown but I wish to save some seed from them. After the rain there is not much colour up there now. The poor hollyhocks have lost all their leaves to rust but are still flowering. It really needs a good week on it to sort it all out.

Hope the move went ok for DAvid and Ellen and they had a good nights sleep in their new place. Makes all the difference.

Frank thanks for the video, \I wonder if there was anyone in the car. Liked the bit where the man got out and then went back to shut his door, as igf that would have made any difference. It must have been very frightening to be confronted with all that water and uncontrolable vehicles floating about and debris (sp).

I picked another pound of plums off the little old tree yesterday, three courgettes from the tunnel and lettuce leaves. two pounds of blackberries from the greenhouse which is nearly overgrown with them and a pound of tayberries. Pumpkins are not doing too good this year but perhaps it is a bit early yet. One I bought has'nt shown any signs of female flowers yet. More toms are ripening but only the little orange ones we love so much. Beans are now under way with small ones coming.

Marning, I'm early today. (WET THE BED) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Don't you go sitting in the sun our SHIRL, you will burn up and look like a prune. !!! Please take care, I don't want to hear bad news from you.

Mandy, These old clocks have been in the shed for Donkey years. I don't think they are worth much, if anything. But I thought I would try to sell them, and see the response. Sorry no Metamec clocks. If I had I would have sent it to you !!!!

Glad you are over all your excitment Jane, you can now settle back to normal life again. Heard on Loacl Radio. There were hold up on the A 34/M40 Hope Chris. dosen't get held up.

I bet David and Ellen are busy unpacking, and sorting out the rooms.

Changed the beds this morning, just going to put the line up, and get the sheets and pillow cases out.

See you later.

Yes Mel ,we had to stay for the whole ceremony.I think it was 1 and a half hours.It seem to go fairly quickly and the seats were quite comfortable.
Hopefully I will have a pic of Chris and Me with James.
Frank Chris just rang and said about a nasty accident on the M40(I think).He said that he got there fine though.

My visitors have had to stop on the M1 as Ethan had filled his nappy lol and was shrieking for a feed.Hopefully he will be a clean and well fed little Baby when they arrive :-D :-D

THANK'S FRANK-IF-IT-WAS-BAD-NEW- IT------WOULDN'T-BE-FROM-

ME XXX

Are you off to a wedding this weekend Jane?

Hope the move went well David and you are now settled in.

Shirl. send me that sunshine, I would be blooming in the heat not wilting although 40 is a bit hot even for me....lol

Getting the garden tidied up while the weather is still fine, must get out there soon and cut the grass before it starts raining again.

Fiona, how can you eat pasta with no sauce, you're so tiny anyway you'll be wasting away with all these restrictions.

I do enjoy reading all about Beryl and Donnie do they live quite close Sheila as she seems to be round yours a lot.

Daughter is staying over tomorrow, partners off on a stag weekend to Amsterdam, they get more and more lavish these stag and hen do's. We'll probably go shopping as the weather looks iffy Try on a few more fascinators ....lol

SORRY MAUREEN IF ANYTHING WAS GOING TO BE SENT IT WOULD BE '''ME''!! ?-??-- OUT OF THIS HEAT-- SAME TO-DAY .
WHAT LITTLE FLOWERS I DID HAVE ARE BURNT CANT KEEP ENOUGH WATER ON THEM----OH HE#####L THERE GOES MY ONLY TWO TOM'S ON THE PLANT--AND ONE PEA POD------

JANE HOW NICE FOR JAMES VERY IMPRESSIVE .
FIONA HAVE YOU TRIED SOME PEPPERMINT I AND ONE TABLESPOON VINEGAR IN GLASS OF WATER--IT HELPS EASE UPSET STOMACH.

I'VE OFTEN JUST PUT OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC ON PASTA
LIZ THAT'S SOME EM.---
MUST GET MORE ICE CUBES ------------

Took me a while to read that e.m Liz but I found it really interesting, always preferred English to Maths at school. Must be hard for foreigners to learn the English language with so many double meanings.

Might try that Shirl. olive oil and garlic on pasta

YOU CAN GRATE A BIT PARM CHEESE ON IT, GOOD XX
FRANK CANT OPEN EM--???HAVE TO GO OUT AGAIN BUT NOT FOR LONG

WILL HAVE A TIM HORTON ICE COFFEE JANE--LOL XX

I know Maureen, it took me some time to 'wade' through it too! English must be such a difficult language to learn, thank goodness WE don't have to!! Surveyor came yesterday, it all seemed OK, but you never know! Ian been onto Estate Agent today as it's now been running 6 weeks! and we seem no nearer to an exchange! they were supposed to get back to us this pm,but so far not a whisper, why aren't I surprised! Apparently councils are taking for ever to get the searches back, no staff, no money, usual stuff!! Monday we shall have to do more chasing!! David, I hope you are settling into your new home; like us, I shouldn't think that you'll EVER want to do that again!!!

Hi maureen.
Sorry I ment no tomato sauces with my pasta, OH makes the pasta and adds chicken and leeks , sometimes mushrooms in a white sauce.

Shirl, thats one of the things I can not have is peppermint, something to so with it agrivaiting the infected area, not sure why,
having to wait till September for my 2 appointments to the hospital, there's a 12 week waiting list.

MIL here now, and just had a phone call to say OH brother and his wife are coming up from England on Wednesday and staying over night.

Evening All,

Shirl, I would hate that heat, would have my feet in a bowl of cold water.........it doesn't seem long since you had SNOW!!

Loved the ems today......english is very confusing when you see that! I watched a programme about Ik*a last night and a lot of their products are made in Poland and Sweden........nearly everyone spoke good english, even the factory workers.....puts me to shame with my schoolgirl french!! lol

Thanks for the lovely pic of you and Chris with James, Jane.....a good photo. I love the bunny on his lead too!!

Liz, I think all the cuts are being used as an excuse for everything now, when sometimes it is just bad organisation. I hope you soon hear, you have been in limbo for so long now.

Mel, it sounds like you have plenty of things to pick just now. Our loganberries were shortlived this year.....too dry I think. I bought a gooseberry plant earlier in the year and hadn't planted it yet as I was convinced it wasn't the variety on the label as that had red gooseberries and the ones on the plant were bright green. I was ready to take it back to where I bought it from but have just noticed that they are turning red!!

We did a bit in the garden this morning, but after several days of lugging stuff about, we ran out of steam and had achey backs so didn't do much, but at least it is weedfree now.

Later I called at a small garden centre I like that is quite cheap and has different things to the big ones. I got a nice bright pink evergreen rock rose that I have just the spot for! I also like going there as they have 2 beautiful Springer Spaniels who have the run of the place, but are usually fast asleep!! lol

I hope everything went smoothly for David and that he now has his pipe and slippers in place so to speak!! I bet they are both tired out after the move.

Evening everyone,

Shirl, that some heat your having now , hope you can keep yourself cool .

Another lovely photo Jane , was it today you were seeing the baby ?

There was a big funeral at our church today ,four white horses with black plumes ,pulling a glass carriage with the coffin in, it was a travelers funeral ,the lady was 87 ,i've never seen so many flowers one was shaped like a caravan !!! there were three big trucks with the all flowers laying in the back .

We're listening to Phil Collins on the television, both singing along !!

Oh my goodness!.I am totally pooped!.
Ethan has cried from the moment he arrived until the moment he left about 30 minutes ago.Poor little mite.He is really out of sorts .Probably to do with all the travelling ,time difference ,and moving from place to place.He has pooed and been sick several times,all over Rachel. :-S.They have just gone to book in at their Hotel now,and will be back tomorrow morning for the day.I have a load of washing in lol
Rachel looks totally wiped out and white as a sheet.She has to learn her reading for her Brothers wedding on Sunday.
I have been asked to take part in the ceremony .It is a ceremony with lots of Jewish tradition (Kate is Jewish) I have to open a bottle of something)don't know what) and pour a glass ,then it is blessed ,and then I have to hand it to the Bride and Groom to have a sip.Sheesh I hope I don't blub otherwise I might miss the glass :-S.plus I won't have my reading glasses.I did ask if they can make sure the bottle of whatever is unscrewed before I get to it as my thumbs are weak I might not be able to do it .How sad is that lol
Must go and dish up some well cooked Pizza for Chris and me.I feel past eating really but am blooming starving .It is so late
:-S :-S :-S
