General Chat

Stephen I would not burst out laughing when your kilt blew in the wind., I would wet myself laughing instead..

My favourite Catherine Cooksons books are Tilly Trotter that is followed by Tilly Trotter Weds then Tilly Trotter Widow.but you will not find the last two on film or TV they are only in book form (unless someone know better ? ) I tried for years to get the Wed one and Widow in all the big stores all over London. I have all three in book form. but I was very lucky to get them.

Pauline...

No chance of going in two weeks for holiday ....his master wants it NOW !! LOL

We are only going to North Devon , my sister lives there and we take her out as she is a widow and we do love Exmoor and love lunch in the village pubs on Exmoor, cant beat that .! A little walk in and around the hunting territories ...LOVELY

:D

Suppose Shelly is busy baking for the Christening, :P

Morning All,

Great morning here ,at least the sun is shinning a bit windy but can put up with that,

I'm a fan of Catherine Cookson as well I have most of her books mainly hard backs from my boys as birthday presents, I watched the Colour Blind only last week on TV late one night , but I never knew it was on Sundays morning Sally, I'll watch it today.

His master is well and truly better , so I must be doing my matron bit OK he still insist on going away tomorrow, so if you don't hear from me for a couple of days you'll know where I am, although probably get internet at the hotel , but might be out and about too !!


No Jean or Maddie still ??????

Hi To Huia ~~~~~~~~~~~ :-)

Ooooooh Stephen, does that answer the question of what scots wear under their kilts, if anything?

Huia.

BLOWY !

Forecast is winds up to 70mph tomorrow

I'd better glue my wig on :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

And tie my kilt down......don't want the young ladies fainting ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Or more like......bursting out laughing. :D :D :D :D :D

Linda it will not take long for your washing to get dry. the sun is out and the sky is blue so I wonder if it will last ? I saw on the news that Icelands Volcano has started erupting again. I wonder if it will get bad and they ban some of the flights. ?

Did you see the Hat on the News Beau has given her hat to a charity to raise fund for" Children in Crisis" it was up to £80.000 01 the last time I looked. what a nice thing for her todo.

Rita

Morning Rita
Yes it is very blowy here too. I have just put the washing out and though it is sunny it is quite cool. Still it will soon blow dry. So I must get on wit the ironing. Hubby is out on his bike, be back soon.

Catch up lkater

Linda :-) <3

Pauline,

2,000 by the end of today........no chance.

I have my 'Italkacrapus' tree to prune. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Just having a nice wee coffee before I start round two of my chores.

I really must stop calling them 'chores' perhaps a better term would be........ 'Pleasant Working Experiences' ROFL :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

It is lovely to read all these postings it shows we keep track of each other ? or do we ???????

The sun is out but there is a terrible wind the tall tree's were bending nearly in half a little while ago on one of the trees is a blue tits box but the wasps have taken it over. I wonder if they have a rent book ? or are just squarters ?

Marilyn glad Pete is on the mend . where are you going on your Devon holiday ?

We had rain last night I didnt hear it. but when I got up at 7 and drew the curtains back I saw the gorund was soaking wet. I bet the plants liked that the grass on the lawns has grown a lot since the gardeners came last Tuesday it is full of Butter Cups and Daisys all the Daffs have gone but their stalk linger on . I suppose they will be taken off this week.

Have a good day.

Rita

Well, I had to open my big mouth about it being bright and sunny............ it's raining now!

Huia, I never used to be a hoarder but I am now, I keep thinking things might come in useful.

Stephen, are you going to try for 2000 by the end of the day?

Stephen, I have to admit that I spend far too much time on the boards chatting, when I should be busy trying to get rid of the accumulation of years. Having been a hoarder for a long time, and having inherited some of the hoardings of my mother and grandmother, there is a lot of stuff to be sorted. It would be easy if there wasnt treasure among the trash, just pick it all up and put it in the rubbish bin. But I need to go through everything carefully to make sure nothing of value, genealogical or otherwise, is ditched.

Huia.

Morning all, it's bright and sunny here as well.

I hadn't noticed your number of posts either Linda, you must be pole position on this thread............ oh no you aren't, I forgot about Dermot, I did notice how many Dermot had.

Marilyn, have you asked if you can just postpone your holiday for a couple of weeks?

Rita, I always collect seeds from my flowers and grow them myself but I don't usually put the seeds straight onto the tubs. I just threw a handful of mixed seeds onto each tub this year. The poppies germinated first.

CONGRATULATION LINDA !

5,000 Not out ! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Are thes numbers an indication of a how much time we DONT give to other things ? Or, as I prefer to look at it, time spent in good company. :D

Morning everyone, I'll have the porridgeStephen, that will set me up for the day.

Morning all
Thanks for the breakfast Stephen. I will ave a cup of tea please to go with my smoked kippers all the way from Mallaig !!! I'll let you know what they are like when I have eaten them.
Huia thanks for pointing out the number of postings, I hadn't noticed !!! But I have been a member for a long time now.
It rained overnight, so more to get on with this morning. Washing already on. Ironing to do. Hubby back to work this afternoon.
