General Chat

Helloooooooooooooooooo.

Blimey what a day. I think people know something I dont. It was heaving today. Some people obviously have got a lot of dosh and dont mind splashing it.

Marilyn, I have to do my ironing early, otherwise it wont be dont. Some people are Larks [early risers] others are Owls [later mornings, good in the evenings] guess what? I am a Lark, K is an Owl. Knees still very painful I am afraid to say.

I know how you feel about tiptoeing around some folks Cath. I exchanged trees with someone, and she wrote me a very short letter after, asking why I wanted sight of HER family. lol ;-)

I dunno you really find some strange things when you start researching dont you? I knew I had one black sheep when I started, but I have uncovered a whole flock. :-D

I'm gonna crash out soon, and sit and watch zombie tv. I dont enjoy The Royal, but am looking forward to the new programme on BBC1 at 9pm. I think it is Jason Isaacs, with Phil Davies. Who incidentally starred together last year in a programme about Steptoe and Son. Isaacs was Harry H. Corbett and Davies was Wilfred Brambell. I enjoyed that, so hope this acting will be equally good in this new prog.

Pouring with rain tonight. I will love ya and leave ya.

Night All. Zumba-ing all the way.

Gratefully accepts mallet from Marilyn ;-)
My Grandfather vanished after deserting my Grandmother and I can't find him anywhere. I have been told he died sometime in the 60's but who knows where? I don't think he was very popular unfortunately and nobody within the family has told me anything. I did contact a couple of people who had his father in their trees on here but they don't have him in it. One lady got a bit shirty about it :-0 I know I've got the right parents for him now after a false lead last year and he is on the 1911 census as their son but it would seem nobody wants him in their tree.

Passes Cath ...a mallet for her brick wall :-S

I been out to see antique cars, mind you I haven't a clue what they are LOL
Pete got quite excited about the old models, Kept telling me all what my family and his had ever owed in my lifetime ...gosh as long as a car got me from A to B I was more than happy.....As you can see a car never gave me any thrills, I would be just as happy in an old banger as long as it drove me around and didn't conk out :-S

Just had Spaghetti Bols.........See Stevey I had it on a small plate as to look full, mind you I might be hungry later tonight !! lost a pound in weight that is LOL already with my walk today ........hopes LOL

Hope you have all had a great day , weather not too good ,but tomorrow looks better :-D

Hi Everyone,
I've had a busy weekend with my paintbrush, lol. Finished kitchen and then decided to paint the ceiling in upstairs bathroom as it was looking tatty.
Rita if you ever come back to Guernsey, we can meeet up. :-D
Mo my eldest granddaughter goes to a Zumba class on Monday after school and she loves it. It does look like a lot of fun but a bit too energetic for me.
Agatha what a bargain those books were, hope you enjoy them. I'm happy if I get them in a charity shop for 50p each.
Linda hope you are on the mend and the tablets do their job.
Marilyn thanks for the lovely email :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all I haven't mentioned,

Cath xx (Off to look at a brickwall) :-S

Cor you was lucky Agatha, getting those books for 20p each, you will make Pat and I jealous, as we both love our books.

Talking of cheese sandwhiches, I took a plate of them with us to the club at lunch time. We all take food of some kind or another with us, so that we can have a little munch till it's time to come home and do our dinners.
I also took some M+S cheese straws, they are lovely, has anyone tried them.

Oooh thanks for reminding me Rita, I had forgotten "The Royal" is back on tonight, I do like the program.

Agatha when are you moving and what sea side are you going too ? it is raining here as well we did need it.
My best friend from Norfolk phoned this afternoon wondering where I was ? I said here at home otherwise you would not have me answer the phone. she said I thought you were coming up here ? I told her not till next sunday unless something untoward happens? they have had no rain where she lives the ground is brown and all the grass is withering and dying off,. she prayed for rain. I said thanks I want a dry week not a wet one.
My nephew flys back to America tomorrow to Washington I thought it was today. he came back from France with a really rotten cold.The chemist has given him something for it.
I watch "Goodnight Mr Thom " this afternoon The times I have seen that I know it word to word. but still like watching it.

I am going to have a cheese sandwich now I want to watch " The Royal " that is back on tonight on ITV1.

Its a private caravan site Mo, where everyone owns them so its never that busy, its a lovely spot though, I shall miss it when we move to the sea side, but its no good keeping it and living by the sea.
Zumba sounds fun, might be a bit much for me though.
We get something called fenland dust here, it blows across the fields when it doesn't rain, and always gets on the local news as it covers everything, so we like it when it rains.

Agatha, Zumba is a dance,aerobics,fitness program, done to Latin Rhythms.
It looks very energetic, and I should imagine you would, dare I say it, sweat yourself thin. Was there many people at the caravan site yesterday.

Stephen, I can Cha Cha Cha, but have never done the Rumba. I tried the Pasa Doble' (sp), but kept falling over the cape.lol But I lurve the Latin moves, they are very sexy.

Rain glorious rain, thats what we have at the moment. I went and checked all the pots of plants in the garden, and the flowers were shouting hooray it's bath time. We so badly need rain here in the South East, the poor Farmers are getting desperately worried about their crops. And we all know what that will mean, yes a rise in the costs of all farm produce.

Hello Everyone, went to the caravan yesterday, and stayed the night, the weather was better this weekend.
Mo, what is Zumba class?
Labyrinthitis sounds like something out of DR WHO linda, I hope its better soon.
Glad you got the smellies Rita.

Mo,

What about a Rumba Class instead of a Zumba one ?

Morning all.
Oh boy I wish I had stayed in bed today. To start with, I knocked a whole cup of tea, over the lounge carpet. That meant getting down on my hands and knees, to clean it after mopping it up.
Then washing the kitchen floor, the bucket nearly went over, and soaked my feet in the process.
Oh how I wish I had got out of bed on the other side, perhaps then my day would have started off better.

Stephen, can you start a Zumba class for us please. I would love to have a go at it. But if I flake out on the fllor, just leave me laying there till I get my breathe back please. :-)

Maddie don't work to hard today love, you must be worn out after doing all the ironing before going out.

Well done on the knitting Linda. I have never tackled making a dress before.
But I used to make the little pleated type skirts and jumpers for my girls
when they were young.

Where has Shelly got to, she has been very quiet for days now.

Just going to get my bath, before we go out for a while.

Morning All,

Maddie you have been a busy bee this morning ! ...
.I read all the papers on line except for the News of the screws as they wont allow anyone to read it on line... Cheaper !!

Now what do you think happened yesterday afternoon .....??????????????

















I came second on the Derby......... :-P My friends BBQ turned into a betting shop, as one of them had an account with the bookies so all she did was phone them :-D
My horse was Treasure Beach, only put £4 down and got £14 back :-D

Dont know the last time I ever backed a horse !!


Going on Plymouth Hoe today ....they have some activities going on don't know what ,but will find out when I get there ..LOL

Hope you all have a great day....

Shelly how did you get on yesterday .....away for the day ?

Stevey ....I'll join the Diet & Exercise club of yours .. Got too :-S

Stephen where's my brekkie! :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0
Having a cup of coffee now. Going to watch Miss Marple on Yestaerday channel.
I don't do Gyms either :-(
I'll be the cheer leader cheering all you lot on so I won't have to do any hard work :-D :-D :-D

have a nice day <3

Morning All.

I have been up since 6.15am.

Done all the ironing, walked the dog, and got the papers.

What a load of tosh in them this morning. :-P

Only an hour to go, then off to work. Only a short day, meat cooked, so only the veggie to cook. Easy Peasy.

See ya later.
:-)

Morning Linda and Stephen they must all be in bed still or at church.
it is a cool day no sun but lots of clouds.

I am glad Jai won the Britians Got Talent last night he is one Scot with a powerful voice. The little lad Rown was good as well coming second was the right thing, he has years ahead of him and I am sure he will do well. I thought he was very brave shaking hands with Jai and I cried when Jai gave the little lad a cuddle.

Just going to sort some breakfast out I wanted a boiled egg this morning Stephen didnt do any so looks like I will have to do one myself. anyone else want a boiled egg with toast ?


Rita

Morning Stephen and all you others
Can't make the gym yet. Not so bad but still a little wobbly.
Had a lovely breakfast before I saw what you were offering !! Another of the kippers from Mallaig, they are delicious if a little fiddly, but sooooo worth it.

Dull and overcast this morning and rather cool too.

Off to do the neighbours watering before I get down to doing some of my own gardening.

Managed more knitting last night, getting on quite well with a babies dress, rather complicated pattern to test me.

Also finished a book I was reading while we were away.
Started a new one which might interest Jean. It's called The Girl in the Painted Wagon. If you haven't read it Jean I can forward it to you when I finish it. I let you know, or anyone else if they want it too.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone

Linda :-) <3

Morning All

The word is out that the Friendly Team are putting on weight.

So it's a :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P to bad eating habits .

And it's a :-D :-D :-D to Good Wholesome Food and Exercise.

See you down the Gym later ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I'm going to bed now! Early start tomorrow-no lie in :-(

I spent a day in Weymouth once ages ago.
It strikes as a place with lots to do and see.

I Love Weymouth went there last year for ten days with my sister, we had a lovely time. spent the day at Portland Bill . as they had the children sailing races on. afterwards they had the adults racing.

We had a heat wave all the time we were there in Weymouth went across on the ferry to Gurnsey and it was even hotter there.

There were building lots of guest hotels getting ready for the Olymipic games .everywhere you went in Portland and the old part of Weymouth they were doing road repairs, it was a night mare getting about there.
