Hi All,

Forgot to mention my grandson had tomato sauce on his face ,and I was trying to rub it off before anyone else saw it .!! LOL hence looking at me strangely.

Its freezing here, and I have put the fire on, gone back to winter jumper.

Pauline .....My hair is out of the bottle ...LOL

Mo.. Is that what your Granddaughter wants to do when she leaves her schooling days ? I have a niece that danced most of her young life and has ended up in the West End shows.......and loving it.

Nothing much on the telly........going to look and see.

Hello everyone.
Marilyn, your grandson looks like he is saying to you, "Nan will you leave it out." bless him, he's at the age where they get so embarrased by us grandparents. A lovely pic though Maz.

I am waiting to hear how my grandaughter has got on in her dance competition, in Blackpool Tower.
She has just gone up from the juniors, into the senior section, and will be dancing against much older people. She is also fourteen Marilyn, but when she has her grease paint on for the comps, she looks at least eighteen.
They seem to grow up to fast these days, dont they.

Evening all,
sun is only just coming out now!! What use is that?

Marilyn your grandson is a handsome chap, bet he'll break a few hearts when he's a bit older.
Had fish and chips for tea and a nice cold glass of wine. Couldn't be bothered to cook tonight even though there are only 2 of us -very rare occurence- and have to say they were very good.
Sally my youngest granddaughter is called Alexa and we often call her Lexie. She will be 4 in a couple of weeks.
Time to walk the dog,

Sally, you just put the photos in an email as an attachment. If you send your email address in a PM to one of us we'll send the photos on to you. It's much better talking/typing to people when you know what they look like.

Did you enjoy your glass of wine Pat? I'll be having a G&T with lots of ice later because it's really hot here.

If you are no good at reversing, try this.

Multiply 1,089 by 9 & you get 9,801. In other words, 1,089 revereses itself.

(From today's newspaper).

Pauline,
I think it's a Governent Proposal!
I had a glass of wine with my dinner today!
Nice photo Marilyn.

Just got the photo Marilyn, it's a really good one. Your grandson doesn't look very happy though, don't think he likes you fussing over him........... LOL

I love your hair!

I thought the retirement age was 65!

It's mad hot here, been sitting outside all day, just come in for a coffee and to make my son a cup of tea.

I've never smoked in my life, although both my parents were smokers - so I inhaled a lot of smoke as a kid.

I have a glass of wine or a G&T every night after my dinner, but I don't get drunk. Not everybody who drinks is a drunk, I've never been legless, I've never caused a fight and I've never thrown up because of alcohol. I never drink and drive, wouldn't even have a mouthful of alcohol if I was driving. I've never put anyone's life at risk.

Not all drinkers drink to excess......... but I have to admit there are a lot who do.

My 92 year old aunt has had a glass of rum every night of her life since she was 17, her 92 year old husband drank a couple of glasses of malt every night of his life. Don't think it's ever done any of them any harm. Mind you, I know a 90 year old woman who's smoked all her life and she's still going strong today.

Hi All,

Just sent you a photo of me & Grandson on his birthday on the Royal wedding day .

Yes Linda It's back to work after 11 days off.
Unfortunately I'm one of those who'll have to work until I'mm 66- that's unless the government put the retirement age up again! I've got 12 years to go. However when I started work all those many moons ago the retirement age for women was 60!
At least I've got my God daughter's wedding to look forward to on Saturday.

Marilyn
Pat has to go back to work after 11 days off over Easter, Wedding and May Day Bank Holidays.

Just in from a bit more potting up and tidying. Not easy as it very windy, but the sun is shinning yet again. Wonder if we have the tail end of the Tornados from America??

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone.
Have to do dinner before hubby goes off to work

Morning All,

Nice to see you all back !!

Well I'm not giving up my Alcohol...LOL.. its the only vice I got left !

When I asked my Dad did he ever think he would live until 96yrs he said its the whisky and no sugar that's kept him going, and my mother used to make him smoke a cigar every Christmas day because she loved the smell of them , that's the only time he ever smoked.to this day he has a whisky & ginger every night & maybe one in the afternoon because I always notice a glass along side the coffee table next to his chair , I know he buys a bottle a week because we all take in turns to take him to Asd* its got to be a good brand . Top of his shopping list !!!


Not sure what to do today as its overcast here.....

Got up too late for Church....


Maddie Glad I don't play Golf I'd get a chill then flu.
