Morning all, you 2 are up early for a Sunday.

It doesn't seem that hot here today, it was mad hot yesterday but it rained last night and that seems to have cooled it down a bit.

I'll have to go and put the washing on now but I'll be back later.


Edit: I would have been shocked Mo if you'd been here first and made a cuppa......lol

Morning everyone.
Good grief Linda,did you go to bed last night, you are up so early. And now you are off for your walk, that's what I call true dedication. Don't over do it love.
Thanks for the cuppa. That was what I was going to do,shock you all by my being on here so early,and make the drinks
It's very hot here even at this early time of day,so I am going to get out in the garden and give my plants a drink before the sun gets any warmer.
See you later. Mo

Hello Elizabeth
Hope you are keeping well. it is very hot and humid I felt quiet giddy during the afternoon the heat always affects me that way I think it is my blood pressure that does it connects to the heatwave.
I have my fan going as well but it only helps a little . still every little helps.

My nephew comes over from Arlington next friday my sister said he never comes friday only saturday he surprised us all by saying he was arriving on Friday . at Heathrow. he and my sister are going to italy for three days to visit my sisters sons grave. they go everyear , the people in Italy keep the Grave in good condtion then he comes back for ten days before flying home to USA,

Dear All

Hello

Good Evening folks.

At our local sainsburys, there was more staff than customers.

We got the shopping done very quickly and went off to a fete.

Cor, it was hot.

Take gentle care and keep cool!

Very best wishes

Hi Yvonne I hope you really enjoy your holiday you have waited a while for it.

Well I got some of the ironing done.............. too hot really and I thnk i must have done some of Paulines as the pile doesn't look any smaller.

Cut back a few more plants, those going to seed. Did some watering.

Read my book and dropped off to sleep.

Then had unexpected visitors............ a little one now nearly 6 and her Mum, drooped an older child in the next road for a party and popped in on the off chance. They had a drink and a bit of a chat.

Quiet evening and probably an early night again.

Hello girls.
My word you lot have been busy gassing,it took me ages to catch up.

Eastbourne and Bournemouth,are what I definately call,elderly holiday places. Brighton, I just don't like. Sorry Shelly.
A place to go,if you just want to sit on the beach,is Camber Sands. Nothing there but beautiful sand ,sea ,and nout else.
But then Rye is not far from there,and now that is really oldie worldy.

It's the Biggin Hill Air Show this weekend. When we have been in the past,
it has always been windy and overcast. This year, because we decided not to go,it is going to be glorious weather. Oh well, never mind.

Marilyn, I think we should all go to Brighton,and look on the beach for a bright red lobster, ( Shelly )
My god Shelly, baby oil will fry your skin mate.

Rita, £3.15 shillings for a grave. My god,that was a fortune way back then,but I dread to think how much it would cost now.
I wonder if your dad realised,just how much information he was leaving for you to find. Or if he actually did it on purpose,knowing that your curiosity
would get the better off you in the end.
Did you show a lot of interest in the past when you were a child.

Linda, are you practising power walking or summat. LOL Well done love,keep it up,you will be down to 25 minutes before you know it.
Just think of all those pounds you will lose.

Hi Marilyn
No Mum was only 38 when my brother was born. She's 82 now. I on the other hand am creeping towards being an OAP but not there yet!!!

Been for my walk. Did a route I regularly did until a year ago and managed it in 36mins. Have done it in 30mins but that wasn't too bad. Now you must all nag me to keep it up now I'm starting.

Had another card come in the post today, hiddeen it as it is my anniversary on Wed. Will hubby get a card.................. mmmmm maybe not.

Have a lovely day everyone

It didn't take me half an hour to type that - I went and made my son a cup of tea between my 2 posts.

I'll make one for you all.
