I'm still on cloud nine about my son being home....... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Had a great weekend. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Dermot.....The Dolls.....Great story. We don't have any dolls in the house, But the Archaeologists in years to come will wonder why so many Hatchets are buried in our garden ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Go for it Yvonne. My daughter is always buying and selling on E.Bay. You would be surprised what rubbish people will buy, it's like when you take a table car at a boot fair to clear out your own rubbish. Things that you would normally throw in the dustbin, others will buy.
Hope you are all well. Love Mo xxx

Afternoon all.

It's been really windy here today, dustbins and garden furniture blowing all over the place.

Yvonne, the only things I've ever bought from the Internet have been certs from the GRO. My brother buys and sells all sorts of things on ebay but I'm still a bit wary of it.



Edit: Didn't see you there Mo, how are you?



Edit again: Forgot to say............. is anyone having trouble accessing their Privacy settings?

I need to get into mine to delete someone from my 'updates' but I just keep getting the 'Error' message.

I'm getting masses of updates from someone who thought she was related to my aunt............... but she isn't.

'Strong Blow......Soon Go'......... hope that old addage is true :-D :-D :-D :-D

Had a lovely tea with my family around me......couldn't ask for any better than that.

The Tourist’s Prayer (especially for GRMarilyn ).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heavenly Father, look down on us your humble, obedient tourist servants who are doomed to travel this earth taking photographs, sending postcards & buying souvenirs. We beseech you, O Lord, to see that our ship is not hijacked, our luggage is not lost & our overweight baggage goes unnoticed. Give us this day divine guidance in our selection of hotels. We pray that the telephones work & that the operators speak our language.

Lead us to good, inexpensive restaurants where the wine is included in the price of the meal. Give us the wisdom to tip correctly in currencies we do not understand. Make the locals love us for what we are & not for what we can contribute to their worldly goods. Grant us the strength to visit the museums, cathedrals, palaces & if we skip an historic monument to take a nap after lunch, have mercy on us for our flesh is weak.

Dear God, protect our wives from ‘bargains’ they don’t need or cannot afford. Lead them not into temptation for they know not what they do. Almighty Father, keep our husbands from looking at foreign women & comparing them to us. Save them from making fools of themselves at night-clubs. Above all, please do not forgive them their trespasses for they know exactly what they do.

And when our voyage is over, grant the favour of finding someone who will look at our holiday snaps & listen to our stories, so our lives as tourists will not have been in vain.

Amen.

Hello everyone, I've done my knee in, I was sitting on the caravan sofa, turned wrong and pulled my hamstring and the pain goes from my knee to the bottom of my foot, so I am on anti-inflamatories and have to keep my leg up, I can walk but I have one stiff leg.
