Evening everyone
So sorry to hear about the passing of your uncle Pauline.
I haven't seen the news tonight so I didn't know about the tower block fire. There was a big fire yesterday at Frensham Ponds on the heath lands thats in Surrey too. Then there was one at Heathrow a couple of days ago in the cargo area. And the one at the Tesco express store at Waterlooville I think, but that has been found to have been arson. Too many.

Yes the trees are sorted The dead one is cut to the ground and the overgrown ones are clipped and tidied up. There were 3 men. The one who went up the trees was from Poland and was just back after a holiday. He was really good. Very fit. Bit like the firemen really. Anyone want me to send them round???? Hubby was here the whole time they were working. They were all done and dusted by lunchtime. And they cleared up really well too and took a few branches we already had to get rid of. There was a little damage to some of the taller plants. like hollyhocks, fuschias and some dahlias. But overall it will all survive. Now we need to return the pots and cut the grass.

Have a good evening

Linda :o) XXX

Shelly I saw the News of the fire I understood it was Kingston in Surrey so they must have got lost on the way. I know they had a alarge amount of fire engines there so it is a big fire. it broke out in one of the flat and the guy next door was speaking to the TV people about it.

well Marilyn I am pleased you got your teeth sorted that will make you think twice before you eat Pork Cracklins again for a while at least.

Pauline I got all your emails and your Marilyn thank you.

Hello
I am back again the clouds have blown away and no rain we have bright sunshine
A friend called to see me she brought me two jam dougnuts for my tea. she said she had been shopping this morning and knew I like them.so treated me.

My young brother in Law phoned me last night to see how i was keeping ?he told me my older brother in law had been told he has Huntingtons dease( I thought that was inheirted )yet I know no one in my husbands family that has ever had that. MY brother in law will be 71 next month.
so I am wondered how he came to have it when i can think of no one else in that family every having it. anyone kn ow anything about that HD,

Pauline I am sorry to hear about your uncles death.

Pauline my Holly trees where just that tree.s they were over 8 feet high one was at least 10 feet.they took up one corner of my large garden and you could not see the Bungalows behind them at the side of them stood two coxes apple tree's and one Bramley cooking apple tree both of these so tall you needed an extension,ladder to get to the top to take the fruit off then next to them was a pear tree then along that fence were raspberry canes and cultivated Blackberry bushes so you can see how it was a case of Tree Doctor to come and cut them back from time to time.
It was an expensive job as well.He had to come from Lowstoft.

Hello everyone, I am back home.
Now got to get myself organised. Back to the grindstone,cooking,washing
etc to be done.
I am glad to be home though. I found it very boring. I am afraid I am the sort of person who needs things to be going on around me. I cannot sit for hours on a beach doing nothing.
I am a people watcher,and loved watching some of the sights on the beach. How some people can be brave enough to wear what they do,I shall never understand.
It got to the point ,when I could not be sure if I was watching a beached whale,or a human being. Ooooh that sounds so catty,but it's true.
The sun comes out, the clothes come off.
Our hotel was lovely,apart from being on a main road,with traffic up and down it all night.
We had to shut the windows because of the noise,but then we sweated buckets. Oh well,back to normality now. Perhaps I will get a better nights sleep tonight.

Pauline, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your uncle.

I will be back later girls to catch up.

Hi everybody, I've just come in, been out since early this morning. My uncle died over the weekend so I've been to see my aunt.

Rita now that you've got your hair done - you need to go somewhere to show it off.

Marilyn, how did it go at the dentist, have you got it sorted now?

We've got a few holly bushes Rita but they aren't very old, the tallest one is only about 5 foot.

Hope the trees get cut back without a problem Linda, it's always a worry that they might fall the wrong way.

I'm a bit late for the coffee Jean, it's cold now, so I'll make a fresh one.

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)?

Just made coffee - can't be bothered to make tea and juice as well.

Yvonne, that sounds like a good holiday, I'd like to see Canada - I'll just let you describe it to me instead though.

Glad to see you enjoyed your holiday Mo, you probably got the best weather of the year.

That was a flying visit this morning Shelly, were you in a hurry to get out?

I saw some of the match Elizabeth, I thought the best team won.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to Sue - wherever she is.

I finished my washing and got it all dry.
Then I went into town and got my hair cut. shampooed and blow dried.
I made my way to the bank and passed a shop that had CHRISTMAS CARDS ON SALE AND WRAPPING PAPER IN THEIR SALE.
will Christmas be earlier this year and no one has told me ?

I then went into the bank and there cash machine had broken down

I made my way home pleased to be back out of breath as well.
I am going to have an easy afternoon.
Shelly looks as if we will get rain before the day is out it is trying but that is all at the moment.
Dont forget WDYTYA is on later to night on BBC1 it is the American one.

Morning Everyone

Yvonne if you see this before you go ? do have a lovely Holiday enjoy it all then you can come back and tell us all about it.

Linda hope the tree doctor manages to get the wrok done quickly I use to hate it when they had to come to me when I lived in Norfolk. the noise of the trees being sawn down and the constant shutting of windows I use to feel wore out at the end of the job. I had three big Holly Bushes among them and that was a terrible job for the men. everyone near me use to have holly at Christmas free. even the grocer asked me for some it grew so fast.
Jean another day as they say to do everything that needs to be done and often we feel too tired to do it. it is so heavy this morning no blue sky just a murky grey.
Morning Mo Shelly Marilyn Linda. Lady (where has she got too ?) Sue Liz and Pauline.and Elizabeth
Have a good day.

Rita

Morning Jean and all others when you rise

Still warm here but overcast.
Have the men coming today to do the trees. So think it might be drinks duty. Hoping it is done in one day, but think it might be longer. Have moved all the pots from the borders onto the patio, hopefully out of harms way.
Forecast today for the SE corner is only 22C. Looks like some chance of rain too.

Hubby's last day at work then he will be off for 3 days, nothing planned as yet.

Thank s for the tea Jean.

Have aa good day everyone
