General Chat

Hello everyone
I dont get the results of the scan till ten days time Pat. that is the worse part having to wait for the results.

My son Mike isnt too good at the moment my daughter and her husband went to see him today at his house. she said he looks very white and his cheeks have suken because he has so much pain, they cannot find anything that will give him relief.Morphine had a bad reaction on him.
The district nurse goes in everyday as he has an infection with one of the metalclips when taken out and left him with this infection..

My Great Grandson who was 9 a few days ago Ryan fell over and broke his ankle the hospital kept him in overnight but they didnt plaster his ankle they said they dont for young children as their bones are soft.
that is the first time I have ever heard that.

so we are a family of invalids at the moment .

Patricia,
A friend did a trip on the Trans Siberian Railway. He was in awe of how efficient things went on the whole trip.

My longest train journey was from Glasgow to Plymouth. A blooming nightmare going and returning.

Although I must say I much prefer the train when travelling to London.
City Centre to City Centre from Edinburgh. Leisurely and relaxing.

I would love to cross America by train. I did do most of the journey by car one year. Time wasn't on my side so had to turn around and head back.

Time for supper.

Rita,

What a nightmare time you're having just now. Must be hard holding it together at times.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry Rita I misundersttod. I saw that you were seeing the Consultant tomorrow and i thought it was for your results. Like Stephen said thoughts and prayers are with you.
I normally ttravel by coach! I got the train from Exeter to Axminster last year to meet an old school friend.
In my dreams I fancy doing route 66 on a greyhound coach!
Night.. Watching Murder on The Orient Express

Time for my shower........then bed.

What do you call a Library when there are no books in it ?

Empty !

Night all.

Thank you Stephen and Pat. I have to go for a check up on friday at the
Doctors surgery for my medication. and blood test results for my PMR

My son in Law Steve who had cancer an had half his tummy removed has to go back tomorrow for tests to see if he is OK.

I said to him we are keeping the NHS going. I forgot he had his done through BUPA

I am off to bed now. this day had made me extra tired.

nite all

God Bless.

Tea or Coffee

Porridge or Cereals.Fruit Juices, Smoked Salmon or Pate with Toast. Scarmbled Eggs, Bacon Rolls.

On the Hotplate.

\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ Malt Whisky for those that feel they NEED one this morning.

God willing those that are ill or feeling down have a better day. Prayers for all and their families.

Life can be a real trial at times. As long as we rise in the morning then I'm sure the Big Man upstairs will give you the strength to see it through.

Faith when confronted by adversity is a great ally.

'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to know the difference'

Try and have a good day folks.

Catch you later.

Paint and Mrs Stephen allowing. ROFL

Morning all
Grey here too Maddie
Hoping that Jean and Mo are feeling a bit better and that all Rita's relatives get a little respite today from all that ails them.

Hoping to get out for a walk today, not too sure as it is looking like a wet day here. I suppose I could get the wet weather gear out and put Little M in the buggy with the plastic covers over her.

Otherwise I think we are on card making today as it is her Mummy's birthday in March. Then of course we have Mothering Sunday coming up too. OOps I see me disappearing again under feathers glue and glitter !!!

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Morning everyone,
Smoked salmon and scarmbled eggs please.
David Suchet had that when he was on The Orient Express. It looked very nice.
No whisky for me. I've got to be bright and alert!
Down here in the South it was colder today!
I've got a cold chicken roll for lunch.
Have a good day x

Oh Maddie
Neil is on Breakfast TV He has grown a beard for the recent filming and he looks very different. Hope you got to see him too.

Linda :o) Xxx

Morning.

I want to go out this morning Linda as well. I try to get out when it is dry out otherwise your stuck indoors and dont feel like going anywhere. once I was indoors for 6 weeks after a big op and when I was getting better I got frightened of going out. silly I dont know why? but it really affected me. so I got my daughter to walk around the lake with me. I was Ok after that.
since then I have met many people who are frightened of going out unless they have someone with them. they lose confidence.

The sun is shining but we have a grey cloud over -hanging the houses opposite me.
Maddie you have missed him .I am speaking of Neil Oliver he is chatting away on TV what a lovely clear picture.

Rita

morning all you lazy bones.

Neil Oliver.

I can see I'm gonna have to arrange for you lot to meet him.

He comes to our Ceilidhs in Stirling so that might be your best bet.

I could sell his address and phone number to you. BIG PRICE.

PS
His wife is a Black Belt , 4th Dan, in Karate. ROFL

I will settle for his signed photo Stephen. tell him it an old lady who wants his photo please..
Old enough to be his Grandmother Lol.and I watch all his programme, even repeats at times.

A bit of a to-do this morning doing my washing

I took an elderly mans washing out of the dryer to save him a job before putting mine in. to find he had washed his wallet with money in and all his cards including a dibetic one they had come out of the wallet and noway will he be able to use them the dryer was on hot.

So I had to take the washing up the stairs to his flat. he thanked me and I said these are yours he said I didnt know they were in there.? of course you didnt. but I am aiding and abetting you. you laundered money that made him laugh poor guy it will take him about 5 days to get new cards.about five of them.

I going to do my salad for dinner now.
Rita

Just to remind those who use the England TV Choice they have started a new" Heir Hunters" in the morning on BBC1 at 915. just noticed it in my next weeks TV Choice.

Rita

Rita,

You've been all alone on here today.

I think we have all done it at one time or another, left our cash in our pockets and 'Laundered' it.

I love a job as an Heir Hunter. Being a nosey sod it would suit me perfectly.

Some of the situations they find are so sad. Relatives only a couple of streets away who they don't know about.

Finished a bit more work......nearly time for tea.

Catch you later.

Cooee folks. Just popped in to say a quick hello to you all.
And to thank Marilyn for her card,and also to say I hope she has a lovely holiday.
I hope you are all o.k, and I have missed talking to you.
Feeling lots better than I have done, but I am now waiting for the xray results, should have them by Wednesday.

Fingers crossed for our Rita's results.

No more news about Jean i'm afraid, as soon as I hear anything from Susan I will pop in and let you know.

Bye for now,take care one and all. Luv Mo

Fr Mack.

Fr Mack sported a silk hat over his flowing beard & a fine dash he cut in his velvet waistcoat & cut-away overcoat, sitting up on the side of his side-car knocking sparks out of the road going into town every Wednesday or was it Thursday? No, it was Wednesday - budget day.

Young lads playing pitch & toss in the road - when they’d hear the sound of the horse’s hooves, shouted: “Inside the fence - Fr Mac is coming”! He’d drive straight through into town & up the main street - he couldn’t get lost since there was no other street in the town. Outside the corner shop, he’d bring his horse to an abrupt stop so that he could get the few bits he needed for the week. He'd also bank the proceeds of the Sunday church collection.

At that time, there would be some poor fellows holding up the corner only too glad for the opportunity to earn a few shillings for holding a horse by the head. Wasn’t that how Shakespeare started in London!

Fr Mac would call one of these men: “Flynn, come here & hold my horse”. Flynn would & hold him every week but he’d get nothing from Fr Mac for his trouble. Flynn used to grumble about it but, seeing who he was trucking with, he didn’t have the gumption to demand his rights. But, as the saying goes, constant dropping wears the stone.

This Wednesday when Fr Mac drove up, Flynn walked away. “Come here Flynn!” demanded Fr Mac. “I will not - I’ve been holding your horse long enough & you never gave me anything for it”. “Flynn, do you hear me - hold my horse or I’ll stick you to the ground!”. “Ah dear” replied Flynn, “why don’t you stick your horse to the ground then?”.

Henry Ford had no more than invented the motorcar when Fr Mac bought one. It was the only one in the parish until after the Boar War. The backfiring of that instrument drove all the animals wild. He was a reckless driver too.

Failing to take a turn, didn’t he go through Mick Casey’s gate & knocked down a cow inside the field. When Mick saw the car, he couldn’t get over it. He said for a thing that went so fast, wasn’t it a great wonder that it couldn’t jump as well.

Mick knelt down beside his cow as grief-stricken as if it was his own mother. The neighbours came running in. “Is the cow dead?” they enquired. “No” said Mick “she’s not dead but she doesn’t recognise anyone!”

All I ever got out of my story telling were shoes of brown paper & socks of thick milk. I only know what I heard; I only heard what was said & much of what was said was lies.

Mo I hope your soom be feeling much better I am sorry about Jean as well. we are a poor lot on here?
Mo I have my blood test results for PMR on Friday, but the other I wont get till ten days time. that is so important as it will let me know whether I have to start my cancer treament again.I have to inject myself three times aweek. it is a form of chemo.

Stephen the man who left his wallet in his washing is old 89 this year and has bad eyes very bad he can hardly see. yet he gets about and puts me to shame.he is a proper gentleman.If I am ill he is the first one to knock and ask do I need any shopping or washing done, ?

Where are you off Marilyn and where too this time ?

Rita
