Catholics are being reminded by those who think they know everything of the immanent reintroduction of the 'no meat on Fridays' rule.

I'd like to remind them that, in this house, there are lots of other days when 'meat' is not on the menu! And furthermore, there is a thing which can be found in some UK homes these day, known as 'the hunger'.

Anybody fancy a nut roast instead?

Rita, I got myself a book-mark with the wonders of the I.O.W. I didn't know about the spelling though.
Oh well Dermot, I'll just make Friday my fish and chip day instead of Monday!

I do intend to write and complain about that journey it was a nightmare. I am going through a brochure now a local one and they send a taxi to collect you and bring you back by taxi..
you live and learn that comes with old age.

while in the isle of wight we saw notices up all over the place informing you of Red Squrirels . we were told it is the Solent that protect the greys from coming over and wiping the red ones out. I learned more about Red Squrriels than I knew. for instants they have dreys and nest in them. they produce two or three kittens(as they are called ) a year these are born bald and have no teeth and are blind for three weeks after they are born I also found out they build more than on drey as they get infected with fleas and when they get too many fleas they move to the next drey.
Where you told about that Pat ?did you see any red s while there I didnt but some of the others did.

Hello all.

I could hear you calling Marilyn and I could smell the biscuits from Mo. lol

I haven't posted on here cos I have had nothing worth saying to be honest.

I dont want to keep moaning about all my aches and pains, cos that is just plain boring.

When I find something interesting to say. I will be back.

Hope everyone is well and happy.

Rita,
I didn't know that about the squirrels.
I've just booked my Christmas break. My sister will be in Germany. My niece's baby is due the 17th December. I'm going to Chester 23rd Dec. to 27th Dec. with the same firm I went to I.O.W with. Would you believe that there were very few single places left anywhere. The other place was I.O.W. I didn't fancy that in the winter :-(
Dermot I'm sure in days gone by there was such a union. Back to my book.

Good morning, looks like everyone went to bed reasonably early last night.
hope you all had a restful night.

Breakfast is ready, will leave it on hotplate.
Cereal or fruit.
Bacon, eggs, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes.
Toast, hot rolls or waffles.
Tea or coffee.

Stephen you must be happy to have your family home, hope they enjoyed their holiday.
Marilyn hope you are feeling less fed up today, maybe it was caused by the weather.
May your day be everything you would like it to be.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)
