General Chat

Evening Maddie, hope you are well. How are K's knees?

Lady I have a gorgeous greyhound named Gypsy. Will put her pic up. :-D

Whippets are a medium sized breed, around springer spaniel size....many folk think we walk Greyhounds which are much bigger than Whippets, by at least 12 inches.

Hello, back again, who said something about bad pennies. ;-)

Now, can I pick some brains please?

I have my grandfather in the 1911 Census staying at the Royal Sailors Rest at Plymouth. I have googled it, and it seems to be some kind of Christian hostel for Sailors. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Now would this be for able bodied seamen, or injured personnel? I have it on the Census that he was a Stoker, so would this fit in with the general criteria for this type of establishment? Would it also be possible to see what ships etc he served on.

If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I know Marilyn and Rita have magazines for Devon, and of course Stephen knows about the armed forces. So can someone give me a clue please?

Ta.

See ya later. :-)

Pauline,I'm proud of my grey hair! I'm never going to dye it!. It's proof that I've lived!!! :-)

hi Everyone.

Lady I thought Whippets were small ... :-S I got the wrong breed all the time LOL

Oh Agatha fancy Oscar trembling ...awwwhhh poor little might .I hope you gave him some Choccy's for his trembling ;-)

Cath I went a bit crazy today and washed another duvet in the bath !! :-S

Then polished all bedroom furnisher , & chucked out bits & bobs that scatter around under chairs in drawers etc......I must have gone mental :-S

I'm quite pleased with my self, so might have a lazy day tomorrow.

Lady, Dove is beautiful. :-D

Ah, I was going to ask if it was Dove, Shelly will be over the moon now..... :-D

Dermot, I thought you still had 3 hairs... :-D


Edit: Lady, I didn't see that first post where you said it was Dove, I must have been typing when that came up.

It's baby dove

Agatha - there’s nothing wrong with grey hair. Ask any bald person - me, for example!.

That's a good picture Lady, which one is that?

Agatha, I'm guessing you must be our youngest member on this thread....... :-)

One of my nieces was playing hairdressers with my hair a few years back and she said..... "Oh Auntie Pauline...... you've got lovely sparkly bits in your hair". She thought I'd sprayed something on it. <-3


Edit: Oh, I've lost my little hearts, they come out like this now ...... <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3


Going to try them all out now...

:-) :-D :-0 :-( :-P :-\ ;-) <-3 :-S

I haven't got the bored one or the heart one!!!!!!!!!!! :-P :-P

Hello everyone,
been a lovely sunny day but I didn't get out in it much. Work this morning and then in a mad moment this afternoon I decided to change filters and clean cooker hood :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P What on earth possessed me? LOL.
Marilyn loved that card trick, very clever, but that old tattooed woman :-( almost put me off my tea. That will be me one day.
Agatha I've had grey (white) hair since I was in my twenties, occasionally I used to colour it but don't bother now as it's short and would need doing every 3 or 4 weeks.
Hope you are all well,

Cath xx

It worked...this is Baby Dove...especially for Shelley

Lots changed on here, I will see if I can put pic on...may be too big...

Hello Everyone, its better weather today, the weather man said the temperature will keep rising.
Took Oscar to the vet, he has a viral infection and is on antibiotics, he trembled in the surgery, he was so scared, better now he is home, the vet said to stop him running too much, but once he is out in the garden I cannot stop him.
I was reading what Pauline wrote about grey roots, does your hair go grey from the roots first, because I think i am just getting my first grey hairs, I can see sparkly bits.
Have a good rest of the day everyone.



:-) :-) :-D :-)

Evening everyone,
It was back to work for me today.
Two people retired today. I'll be doing some of Judith's work what she does.
I think she's looking forward to her retirement. We got her a rose calles Retirement rose and a voucher.
That's interesting Stephen getting in contact with a second cousin.
I like the smilies as well Maddie :-)

Good afternoon All.

Hope everyone is well, and keeping cool. lol

I have suddenly got the emoticons at the bottom of the posting thingy. Gosh I'm proud.

Had to work on Sunday, I must have been a real rotter in a previous existence.

Looking forward to the piccies Shelly, and pleased all is going well for Mike, Rita. Onwards and upwards.

Gonna try out a smiley face. See you later.
:-)

we have sunshine here my son said it was pouring of rain in Camberley he said it looked as if it was heading in my direction ?

I said the gardeners had just arrived and did not mow lawns they weeded the gardnes instead. I didnt know they had done the back garden in my block. till I looked out of the window. as I heard a car horn going.

I had not realised tomorrow was the 1st June and have forgotten to post cards of so will have to do that tomorrow.

Rita

good after noon every one
been denist this morning with my son ad then shoping with my daughter and just got back

marilyn little legs was claping when he got all wet

Pauline
Don't let it worry you, ask your friend to come back to yours and help you out !!!

It was nice early here went for a walk round the lake with my son's cocker spaniel.
But then we had a sudden down pour which turned into hail, quite unexpected.

Now the sun is back out, but as I have just put some curtains in the wash not sure how long it will stay out !!

Have cleared the bedroom Mo, so might start stripping the wallpaper off the walls, maybe?

Need to do some more in the garden, but the rain is doing more good than I can. Must water the pots in the front porch though.

Be back later

Linda :-) <3
