Hello Mo
The glasses are safety with extra side protection and I think shatterproof lenses.
They are prescrption ie made for him. But we found out the side protection can be removed when he finishes working.

BA are paying for them. So who are we to argue. They must have got a job lot eh !!!

Still I had fun as it is right next door to the BIG M&S at Camberley. Oh they have a sale on up to 50% off. LOL shame what I wanted wasn't in the sale, typical eh. I got a sweatshirt in mauve(purple) as I seem to be feeling cold all the time, god know what witer will be like. Also some cut off trousers for our next trip abroad, as I can never find them when we go away in March. Then I did get a skirt(style I already have 2 off. That was reduced from £15 to £9

So all is at peace in my world.

No gadding about tonight ladies

Linda :o) XxX

Linda my son lives at Camberley I shop at the M & S sometimes.
he weather has improved at the moment we have it sunshine yes I did say Sunshine.
Mo The warfarin is a bloody nusicance it varies from week to week I stick by my menu there are things I am not allowed to eat which I love like green veg and grapefruit. so it is not that I am eating the wrong things. I just do not know what is causing it.
I am having one of those days when things keep happening I have had three phone calls within the last hour all the wrong numberit is the same as mine but for one number.
Then I got that pop-up appear asking me for my consent to be a friend to someone I am already his friend I am his sister in Law. I tried to get rid of it. then when I started to reply to an email it came up again..
The I had a PE from someone on GR answered it and it vanished I think it has gone into something else it is not in drafts so i give up.
I am not going anywhere at the weekend. my daughter is not able to come over as my Son in Law is not too good again. I dont know what he will be like after his chemo on tuesday.
so in all I am not having a good day.
I am looking forward to that trip on Stephen sailing boat. I hope the weather stay good. I hope he brings his wife along I want to meet her Lol

Rita

Hi Everyone.

I have been to Great Yarmouth today........had to get away from the little darlings, and the nanny came today, from holiday so we were let off the hook so to speak.

But did end up back in Norwich and bought two pairs linen trousers on sale.
did I need them ...NO.....LOL

I cant possibly go on the yacht tonight , as its BB evening and its on for a couple of hours , so you'll have to sail without me !! Bet your all glad LOL

Just having a cuppa...anyone else ? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)?......

Poor Rita.......my step mother is on warfarin and I sympathize with you as she gets a phone call from her surgery every week to up or down her medication.

We're underway!

Out through the Sound of Iona heading North.

Ahead lies the Island of Staffa famous for it's cave and an inspiration to the composer Felix Mendelsson and his Hebridean overture..

On your left is the mighty Atlantic, nothing out there until you reach America, 3,000 miles away.

Look right, the island of Ulva, Lachlan Mcquarrie, the first Governor of Australia was born there. Also on Ulva is Starvation Point, the people were left to starve while waiting to be deported during the Highland Clearances.

The Porpoise are with us again. And over there is a Basking Shark. Huge but harmless. I used to swim with them when I was diving.

Ahead lies the Islands of Muck, Eigg and Rum and in the distance the Isle of Skye.

We are going to turn East and go round the top of Mull and pass between that and the Point of Ardnamurchan. The most Westerly point of the British Isles.

Just passing Tobermory on your right. Famous for a sunken Spanish treasure ship.

The winds behind us and we are sailing nicely.

The large Castle you see on Mull is Duart Castle, home of the MacLeans. The Castle has been used in many films. Including James Bond ones.

We have just passed Lochaline on your left Lochaline sand was sold to the Arabs. Hows about that then!

Passing Lady's Rock, where a fair Maiden was tied up and left to drown because of her indiscretions. She was saved at the last minute.

Sailing past the tip of the island of Lismore and ahead lies Kerrera and the entrance to Oban Bay our final destination.

Tie up securely alongside and let the ladies off.

Dinner has been booked at the Oban Bay Hotel. A couple of rooms are available for you to shower and freshen up.

Because tonight you are going to a CEILIDH (kaylay). Did you think you were getting off lightly?

Stephen tidy's the yacht.

Whats this?

Three Bra's, various sizes.

SIX pair of knickers. And none of them were wearing Furcoats.

TEN empty Malt Whisky bottles.

Four sets of false teeth.

A Blonde Wig!!!!!!

A false eye lash. I thought it was a spider.

AH! Well, better get the boat put to bed.

Shower and then get the kilt and sporran on for the Ceilidh.

My wee yacht won't be the same without them. Hope they enjoyed it and they come back sometime.

Remember TIR-NAN-OG

good evening every one

now what shall we get up to tonite

Shelley,

You should be at the Ceilidh in Oban. No excuses.

Stephen

Thank You!

When putting the yacht to bed I found a bag.

It certainly isn't mine but had my name on it.

Opened it up and out flew a huge cloud of Happiness.

You have left me a real treasure.

Ta!

Stephen

Oh my lord girls, what a trip. Wasn't it beautiful. I am at peace with the world now. Buuuuuuttttttttttt Yippeee we are gonna have fun at the Ceilidh. Get your kilts and dancing shoes on, we are going to do the highland fling.
Now Rita you be careful when they put those swords on the floor, for you to dance around, we don't need you cutting your feet open.
Shelly, it's drinks all round if you please, mines a brandy with ice.
Rita and Jean can only have soft drinks, but Marilyn will have a G+T.Pauline may want a bottle of wine.
Whats our skipper having, get him a double if you please. Oh and a coke for yourself.
Now behave yourself tonight Marilyn, what will Stephen think of us, if we kick up our heels to much.

i no ill were the likt ovet the top of the legging that way you want see my saggy bum lol

Shelly, it's a right shindig, singing, dancing, drinking. Like country dancing,
but doing a scottish reel etc.
If you google you will find a truer definition than I could give you.
Your pink leggings may clash with the colours of your kilt though.
So it might be a good idea to ask Stephen, if he could get a kilt made to match for you.
I must remember to shave my legs, and put some clean undies on. Don't want to show mesen up, when I do a reel now do I.

well im not going with out eny think on my legs i done were skerts or dressies

Ahhh Shelly don't sulk, you can wear trousers, or leggings I dont care just as long as you are there.

Shelly, Mo, lets get you two on the floor at least. You both look great. Just follow the couple in front of you.

I'll try and find the others.

stephen there all watching big brother

and iv been looking for the brinkman family

Last Man Standing!

Well, well, well.

Here's me thinking I'm going out with a real bunch of Party Animals and what do I find;

They sit and watch telly and there's a whole pile of handsome, brawny Scotsmen just waiting to grab them.

Kilts hanging just right, sporrans full of cash. Hair slicked back. Eyes twinkling.

How could you lovely English lassies turn down a chance like that?

Never mind! They deserve a wee rest. They have been great company the last two days.

I'm off to my bed. Hope to see them all tomorrow before they head off home.

I heard there was a bit of trouble in the town tonight. Probably those trawlermen again. They are always a problem.

Morning everyone
Hope no=one has a sore hed today.
The sun is shining and it looks like we might finally have a nice day here.

Hubby has gone to work. So I might tackle some washing and clean the windows that I can reach.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XXX

Linda,

They may have trouble getting here......read the following.

I went for the paper in Oban a n hour ago and was confronted with the headline,

'Yachtswomen batter Trawlermen'

I was shocked. Could it be our lot?

A quick read confirmed it was. And they were all in the local nick.

Hurried along to the Police Station where the desk Sargeant asked if I knew them. Of course I said yes!

He then told me the whole story......

The girls had gone into a local pub and ordered up double Malts.

Trawlermen in the place remarked 'Look lads it must be Grab a Granny Night'

That was it...they saw red. They invited the trawlermen outside for a 'Square Go'.

An eye witness said that one of them pulled a wee bag from her pocket and showered the ladies with some kind of dust.

Then it all started.

The turned into Nija Warriors. This was Kung Fu Fighting at its best.

High kicks, somersaults....the lot.

The Trawlermen didn't stand a chance. They eventually fled...whimpering like children.

The Police arrested them. They gave names like,'Tinkerbell' 'Mary Poppins' Fairy Godmother' etc. And all gave their address as Tir-nan-Og.

I agreed to stand Bail.

Out they came from the cells laughing like two year olds.

Hi, Stephen!, They said...Can we go to another Ceilidh tonight? That was great fun.!!!!!!

What am I to do with them?

They obviously have a taste for the Malt...I will need to try and wean them off of it.

Think I'll try them on Irn Bru...our other National Drink.

First of all....breakfast...then head for the train to get them home.

What will their folks think?
