you should get knitting and knit yourself some knickers I remember in the late 50's knitting some swiming trunks for my lads and I didnt realise when they get wet they are heavy and fall down. lol.

COLD FETE !

Yes I did say FETE.

Glorious sunshine but freezing out today. The fete went well and was great fun.

Spoiled my wee grandaughters rotten.........Grandads can do that.

Back to their house for a nice tea.

Time for coffee and a relax now.

The hills turned a lovely shade of pink as the sun went down. Magic.

The sky is clear....... so out with the binoculars later.

Shelly...did you try the Malt Whisky cure ?

Hello Mommy C. How kind of you to think of me.

Yes I got home tonight to an empty house. lol I thought it a bit odd when I was walking up the road, the house was in darkness. I usually ring the bell and Kevin sends the dog out to have a pee. But no dog, no nuffink.

No message on the answerphone, no note. It was like the Marie Celeste. So I made meself a cup of coffee and waited. Came in about half and hour later, he was helping someone in distress. Good old stick. Someone had a dripping tap, and didnt want it to go all night with the cold weather.

It is chilly tonight, the cars are getting a frost on them. I think the south will escape the next lot of snow.

Yes, Ann has gone from Strictly. I think it would have been a tragedy if she had been kept in, and one of the better dancers had gone. Dont think much of Gavin though, he will probably be the next to say bye bye.

I hope all goes well for Jean next week.

Shelly, blow your snotty nose and get better quick. Dripping everywhere.

Hope everyone else is warm and well.

I see Pauline and Stephen can expect more snow in the next few days. Good Luck.

Ann is out of the show. she looked shocked. but how could they put Scott last and put Gavin above him. I saw the faces of the judges they were happy to see Ann Go.
I was annoyed with the X Factor because that Cher is always in tears when she is one of the two left to sing it out. how can she stand there like that with a sulky expression on her face,.
Dad wrote his book and I found all his writing in a box when I was staying with my sister. and looking for a photo that I thought she had.of myself and my Dad, , he took me to Brooklyn races with my uncle Frank .who use to test drive police cars. till he went onto the Thames police boats.I think he was an inspector I know he appeared in one of the books about the Thames Police .
I found the papers and asked my sister if they were Dads as he told me he was writting about his life ? .she said they were in the box. when she cleared the house out (I was still living in Norfolk then Dad died aged 92.)_ so I started to read them and said lets take half each and type them out. this we did.. then my sister said she would like to get it printed in memory of our dad. so she edited it .and then had it printed so my name is not on the book but Sheila's is..she paid for the printing as well and she gave me some for the family, as I am older than she is (she is the clever one)I recall things and know the family she is not close to.she wanted to put my name on the book as well but I said no. she did the editing and paid for the book to be printed. as I said it is now in all the main universities. which include Scotland. Wales and Ireland. Oxford Cambridge and London ,
Mainly because he goes into to great details of the work he did in the Aircraft factory during the war. and the building industry he was a master builder so he describes the old ways they did building. and of course his llfe as a boy growing up in a poor family.in 1908 onwards.

Mine is my own life story from 1931 onwards. I have about 500 pages written out ready to type and then edit.
