Happy Birthday Liz.

0000000000000000000000 for Jean.

Have been out all day with Mr K. We went to the Golders Green Crematorium to put flowers in the vases of our parents.

It is not depressing over there at all, lots of rose beds, a wild flower garden, and the chapel is peaceful. We sat on a bench for a few minutes. It is strange in there. Perfect strangers all nod to each other and say hello. We are all going there for the same reason, and we all respect each other and acknowledge each other.

Got a pink nose from the sun. Gonna dollop some Aftersun on it.

No laughing. ;-)

Morning all
00000000000 for Jean 0000000000000000

Lovely here, except we were woken by either by cats or crows tearing into the rubbish bags whilst it wasn't quite light. So hubby has been out and cleared up the mess left before the dustmen come.

Have put myself back on the pills as the giddyness returned over the weekend. Guess I'll have to go and see the Dr again. Have a dentists apt on Wed with a new dentist as ours seems to have taken early retirement after a shoulder injury in a car accident about last Oct. Now the surgery is closed for essential repairs !!! My apt for June was cancelled and rebooked for Sept, but I can't wait that long !!!

Nothing much happening at the moment.

Mo the baby isn't due til next Feb they know too soon these days. So we are keeping quiet about it for a few weeks more, until she has had the scan, then we will be sure all is going well and they can give a better idea of dates.

Take care all. Thinking of Jean as she goes up to Christies

Jean thinking of you today and hope all goes well for you.
Stephen I have had no joy in trying to enlarge those photos :-( :-( There must be a way of doing it but I'm useless. I would like to know what the uniforms are as I'm nosey. :-)
Linda take care with that giddiness and good luck at the dentist.
Hope everyone is well,

Linda I was like that came off the pills and started feeling giddy again so went back on. its a terrible feeling when your loike that.
I am having a problem with my shoulder it hurts like mad and I moan like mad when I turn over in bed at night I think because they started reducing my steriods my PMR is going wrong again it causes lots of pains in your limbs. I dont want to go back ot the doctors unless I can stand it no longer.

What a lovely day it is and warm and it is only just gone 8 oclock. I have the washing to-do today. not alot thank goodness.

Good Morning Friendly Threaders, Bit dull here in Cambridgeshire, but dry.
I hope everything goes fine for you Jean, I have a feeling in my bones that it will.
Stephen, I hope you catch a really big juicy worm.
Linda, I hope the doctor can make you better, Rita my mum has shoulder pain like you, she has cortesone injection,s in it now, they are helping.
We have got our home on the market now, we put it on friday and have had one viewing so far, a couple came and the lady was upset at her husband because he was ill and she was having to move as the house they are in now had too much land, I felt sorry for the husband, he looked really ill.

Morning Dermot
Agatha I hope you manage to sell your house quickly. it is a stressing job buying and selling homes. it use to really get me down. but I was lucky as I have had three house and a Bungalow on the market during my life and have had no trouble selling infact one house in Perivale Ealing and my Bungalow in Norfolk they wanted me out so they could move in both cash buyers.I moved out of the bungalow put my furniture in store and moved in with my daughter for three weeks and my sister for three weeks before I could move into my retirementt flat. the house in Perivale Ealing was a Banker so I didnt worry he wanted the house which was a victorian and he waited four months till I had found a Bungalow I wanted.
so you could be lucky a quick sell.

It seems no one has been on the thread since 11.40 today. now is it because "Facebook "has taken all the friendlies ? or is it that work always seems to be given on here they are woking on the thread and you get a sorry notice.
I find it is happening more and more on this thread. others dont seem to be affected by the sorry notice going up.?

Lucky Hugh Williams - mentioned today on Radio Wales:-

Dec. 5, 1660, a ship sank in the Straits of Dover. Lucky man Hugh Williams was the sole survivor.

Dec. 5, 1767, another shipwreck in the same place caused 127 people to lose their lives. Once again, only Hugh Williams lived to tell the tale.

On Aug. 8, 1820, a picnic boat capsized on the Thames. According to historic records, all passengers but Hugh Williams drowned.

July 10, 1940: a German mine destroys a British ship. Two men survived: Hugh Williams and his nephew, another Hugh Williams.

Hello everyone,
I've been working my little cotton socks off :-P
I didn't even have a cup of coffee at 3pm or so. I had a got a job done :-S
I'm going to have a cup of coffee now otherwise I'll suffer from coffee deficiency.
It's been a nice sunny day and I was working and school's out for summer!
Dermot I wonder if anyone called Hugh Williams has ever won the lottery?
Rita I only really play one game on facebook. I haven't got that many people to talk to on facebook.
Going to get my coffee and read.

I hope we soon sell Rita, that way the property we like won't sell.
I do not like facebook much, I only like the book clubs on there.
Enjoy your coffee Pat and Stephen your fish and chips, I think I might become Hugh Williams too.
