Nice to have you back Rita, sounds like you had a good time. Your dad left you loads of great things about the past, I haven't got anything like that.
You seem to have done lots of things while you were away. I used to hear my mam talk about people who were in the ragged school but I never knew what it was.

Hope you enjoy the school fete Marilyn, I used to like going to those. I used to spend a fortune, but it's for a good cause.

Linda, I'll just send my ironing through the cyber hatch and stick it on your pile because you've still got more energy than me - even when you feel tired.

Shelly it's dangerous to sunbathe without protection, you'll fry with baby oil on.

Did you get sorted with your wedding outfit Liz? Make it a good one because we'll want photos.

Mo, I didn't catch the sun yesterday because I keep covered up when I'm working in the garden. If I don't cover up I get all scratches off the bushes and thorns. I have to wear a cap as well or I get spiders, caterpillars and God knows what in my hair.

Yvonne that sounds like a typical childhood holiday, stuck in a caravan watching the rain through the window. My great, great grandfather came from Margate but I've never been there myself.

I hope Elizabeth isn't going to try to cook us again today, although it looks like the weather will do that.

Now what happened to that Sue? Is she playing hide and seek with us?

Hi everyone, I'm just going to read the thread and catch up.

Morning All

Sun is SHINNING AGAIN...

Rita well I think you must be worn out from all all travels, now you can just sit quietly and memorize everything that you did in peace.

Linda that's a young brother, your mum must have had him on the change ..!!

I'm off to a School fete today ......grand daughters, so got her pocket money ready, she'll be waiting for that. LOL
Her mother has the best stall......on the Booze one !! they are going to make a Fruit Punch so I said to her just before you give me mine pour some rum in for me please..LOL

So back later ........got hair to wash & bath...

Morning rita and all others later on

Been doing research this morning. Didn't get up quite so early as I was in bed by 10 last night and falling asleep all day.

Ironing to do before it gets too warm. But first I think I will go for a walk.

Have a good day

Oh I must phone my baby brother as he is 46 today !!

Linda :o) XxX

How times change we go from bed to worse at times.but it is a good job we can have a laugh.that cures many things.
some of the things on this thread has me laughing so much I cry.
what happened the the cockney slang ?

I hope you have all been good since I was away for a few days
I did many things while away I went to view the Indian Temple Shree Sanatan Hindu Mandir in Wembley the only non asians my sister and I and everyone was so kind to us.It is such a big temple as well it was like walking into a fairy tale castle.

I wanted to go to The Ragged School in London the otherside of the river but they only opened two days a week and we had planned other things so I will go next time. what is the Ragged school ?it was started by Dr Bernado for poor children. they have a musum there and in the room above is a replica of the school room.

Afternoon everyone
A quiet day today. did some washing which was quickly dry. Put away the toys til next week and pruned some shrubs.
Then I did some research and sat in the garden reading, because I could.

Hubby is home and spent most of today in the office, so not a heavy day.

Enjoy the evening

Linda :o) Xxx

Ooops Hi Elizabeth, I missed you then,you posted whilst I was typing.
And being a one fingered typist,it takes me ages.
See you later.

Cooeee Rita, good to see you back,we missed you.
Is your son in law not eating because he can't,or is it because it hurts him to swallow.
Perhaps your daughter could liquidise his food for him,to make it easier to go down the gullet.
Wimbledon has a lot to answer for hasn't it. It must be causing lots of hold ups on the transport,for people trying to get to and from work.
I am pleased you and your sister had such a good time. I hope you both behaved yourselves,and didn't flirt with to many men.

Linda, how lovely for you to be able to go into the Cotswolds.
It's all back to normal at your house now then isn't it. Back to the grindstone for your OH.
It's not very nice when you get your sleep disturbed,by the OH getting up.
Now that we are retired,we both could have a lie in, but old habits die hard,
and we still manage to wake up at the same time we did,when we were working.

Marilyn, will you please keep the noise down. Singing is a no no, I have got a migraine,so keep the flippin noise down will ya. LOL
I hope you smothered yourself in sunscreen out in the garden. We don't want you getting burnt to a crisp.

Shelly, why Brighton. It's full of old biddies like me, thats why I wont go there. You should be going to young places, sight seeing all the young
bucks out on parade.
Come on you are letting the side down. We need a little bit off spice to cheer us up.

Pauline are you still in the garden weeding. Or are you doing a Marilyn and sunbathing.

Dear Rita

Hello

Hope you are well.

Glad you are back and hope you had a safe journey.
Nothing like a cup of tea to refresh you!

Will pop back later.

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
xx

HELOOOOO

I am back arrived back at 12.40 today I had a job getting in the door as it was piled high with mail,
The station at Waterloo was crowed they seem to be off to Wimbledon I caught the Portsmouth train as it did not stop at Wimbledon it stopped at my stop first.
I had a lovely time I saw my son in Law in The Royal Marsdon on the thursday he looks well on the way to recovery but it is a big BUT he was allowed home on the Monday the consultants all gather around him and said how he had amazed them at how he had got on.
Tuesdaty we drove over to muy daughters and spent the best part of the day with them, he is very white and had many pain killers to take he had 25 stitches in the back and side and 19 in the front so you can see how bad he was and still is. he must not do anything he tries but knows he can not. he goes back to the hospital in two weeks time. he is not eating thought that is the big problem..

Rita
