	Morning Stephen, thanks for breakfast. Sorry to see that your close friend is so ill but a blessing that she isn't in pain. I'm pleased to see you could have a chat and a laugh with her, we have to be so brave at these times don't we? It's a different kind of brave to what you're used to! I didn't get the chance to come on here yesterday because I went to see my aunt and didn't get round to putting the lappy on last night. I'll go and read the thread now and catch up on what I missed.

	(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)? Tea or Coffee Porridge or Cereals, Fresh Grapefriut, Scrambled Eggs, Smoked Salmon, Bacon Rolls. A nice wee brekkie. Sun is rising ......gonna be another fine day. Lady Stephen and I said our Farewells to our dear friend Madge. She is not in pain, a cocktail of drugs has taken care of that. She knew us and we were able to have a good few laughs together. Particularly about the 'Barr Lunches' I would have with them at the side of the Loch. Everything cooked on an open fire. Madge and Dougie loved that. On the 'Big Bird' later today and off to a nice warm climate for a few days. Might have time to drop in later. .

We had a trip into Reading by train. Met my daugter for coffee then lunch sitting by the Kennet and Avon canal. We saw a narrow boat going passed. Than early evening went to little M's house where myyoungest bought some evening dresses, as she doesn't want to take them to Singapore. They were really nice and going for a song. Had chicken Kiev for dinner, really nice. Off out for the day tomorrow, so might not be on again til later LInda :-) <3

	I watched that Marilyn and cried all the way through I logged on to collect my emails from my faim ily a broad. I got my drawing and painting box out this afternoon it was starnge looking through my paintings and drrawings I did a lot of Ink drawings and had forgottem about them also some cartoon drawings like my son Mike use to do. so I started to draw again . they dont seem to be as good as the old ones. I wonder if when you get old so does your mind and you dont do things the same.? maybe they will look better tomorrow. ?

	A weird thing happened to me on my 22nd birthday, along time ago now, well it is sad aswell as my grandfather died on that day, and he died on a saturday morning in Wisbech Cambs and 22 years earlier I was born on a saturday morning in wisbech and I was born at 10am and he died at 10am, isn't it strange how things happen like that. My grandmother did not like it and said he should have a day to himself, so she always celebrated my birthday a day late from then on, I did not mind.
