Hi Everyone,
Back home after work. I've been and got fish and chips. It's enough for two!
Shelley I'm left handed as well but I can use both hands!
War and Peace is just like any other book really. People falling in love,somebody dying and someone getting the money. I've read it all before. I'm about half way. What gives the book notoriety is the length of the book.
Sorry that you haven't been very well Pauline. I hope you feel better soon.

pauline i use to finger most of the time and a wouldent say im that slow
but now were near as to say im farst
and i do seem to be light on my fingers

hope you are felling better now

im in the middle of doing dinner so will be popping in and out

Pauline,
Still have snow on the hills here. I'm a bit lower so it has gone apart from where I piled it up.

Just had word that a chap I knew has died rather suddenly, age 60, a bit of a shock to all who knew him.

Jean, If I think I will ever be near your area I would love to see your Van and meet your horse. I'm glad the farmer was on hand to chase the youngsters.

About to have my tea....it's early tonight.

Shelly, I'm right handed but I use both hands (and all fingers) to type, I'd be here all day if I only used one hand.

My sister only used 2 fingers to type but she was very quick.

We posted at the same time Shelly.

Hi all, I haven't been well, I'm not often ill - so I take badly to it when I am.

Haven't read all the thread, think I've missed too much to try and read it all.

Sorry to hear about your MIL Yvonne, I hope she isn't in any pain. If she stays pain free and comfortable it'll be the best you can ask for.

Are you in love Dermot or is it just that spring is in the air?

Rita, it's interesting to see what work the people in the street did all those years ago.

Have you still got snow Stephen? We don't have any but we've had thick frost and all the water barrels have been solid ice every morning for a week.

I love my thread LOL

Sorry Yvonne, you posted whilst I was typing.
Bless MIL wanting to stay at home, thats only natural really isn't it, as we all feel more comfortable in our own surroundings, and hospitals can be sooo clinical.

The carers will probably give her more tender loving care than the hospital.

I hope she will be o.k though love, and that your OH and you can stay strong.

Good afternoon everyone.
Whew, I am exhausted, we have been painting since early this morning, over at our daughters house.
One more day should see the back of it. Why the heck has our daughter decided to go from dark green paint, to a cream. It has taken three coats to cover the darn colour.

Linda, I hope you have managed to catch up on all the washing, and got it all dry.
Mine was on the line at 8.30 this morning, as we had lovely sunshine.
It sounded strange hearing that everyone had got frosty cold weather, when it was lovely here.

Shelly, why the eck didn't you pop in to me for a cup of tea if you were down at Herne Bay. Blimey mate you were on the Thanet way, and if you went through the Medway Towns, you would have literally have passed my road.

Pat, it was like War and Peace at my daughters today, with us both trying to work round each other. I could write a book about it, but the language was so blue, it may have been unprintable.

Thank goodness your daughter was able to sort your printer out Rita. I know you said it is not very old.
Well done on printing out all your censuses, they are there now for future generations to view.

Has anyone heard from Pauline today, I hope she is o.k.

Hi Jeniwren, it's good to hear that the weather was kind to you at the weekend.
Do you normally stop at the same farm,where you did this time. The Farmer sounds like he's a true gent, letting you camp behind his barn for shelter.

Afternoon everyone

OH just got back from his mums, she's still taken fluids but not eating very much, OH managed to chat with her then she fell asleep, doctor is calling in but hadn't arrived before OH left. Hospital said she could go back in but she wanted to stay at home, the carers come in 3 times a day to help with bathing etc.

Maddie I hadn't thought of ITV+1

Lovers in Love.

Does it always have to be Paris when lovers fall in love?
In Ballyglass & Ballyvara, there are blue skies up above.

And why should it be Berkley Square when the nightingale sings her song?
Love blossoms in Ballyhaunis if the right one comes along.

That old black magic has you in its spell;
It happens down in Marakesh & in Market Square as well.

The leaves of brown come tumbling down; Remember? Don’t we all.
Love grows in sweet September strolling through Moore Hall.

‘Love is all around’ the Beatles sang & I’m inclined to agree.
Romance comes dropping with the leaves that carpet Ballinaglee.

Patricia,

If I tried to read that book in bed I'd have a War on my hands.

I'm sat at my desk reading War and Peace
It's lunchtime and I don't have to do any shopping- fish and chips for tea.
I got to carry the book around in a separate bag because it's too big to fit in my rucksack. I even read the book on the bus!
I thought it was colder this morning.

Everyone out and about today ?

'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand.

Morning everyone, hope you had a quiet and peaceful night
It is very frosty here this morning but it looks like. we will have a nice day, the sun is just showing, could be a good day to get some washing dry outside.
Think I will have a small bowl of porridge please Stephen, as it is what my Great Gran used to call 'porridge weather'. Has the snow gone now, do hope you dont get any more.

Hope everyone has a good day.
Go with God and in good health.
Jean xx

Morning everyone LInda we have frost here as well in fact the cars are white with it. but the sun is trying to come through so thery wont be white for long.
Stephen I will have the scrambled egg as I want a muffin with mine.and I am just going to do that now..

My printer is now working fine my daughter took a look and she is into that sort of thing she fixed it. so I printed the old census for the road I was born in so I have all the people who lived in that road from 1841 census up to 1911. with their jobs I was surprsied at the jobs they did we even had a vet. and a chair wheeler whatever that was ? .along with a couple of blacksmiths Ironers. Famers Labourers, a shopp keeper and painter.4 grooms who worked in the mansion house.


Have good day.

Rita

Morning all
Back to the grindstone this morning.
Rather frosty here, not keen on that. Have to go out later and get some food shopping done. Might try to fit in a walk too, but tooo cold right now.
At friends for dinner last night, really nice time. Now back to reality and cooking for ourselves from today. More washing, hope it's dry enough to hang out too.

Have a good day.
Pleased to hear about Mike and Mo's nephew too.

Linda :o) XxX

Morning Maddie, Stephen, and all.
A grey start down here, hopefully the sun will come out later.
Not working today but looking after my 2 year old grandson this morning, I'll be shattered by lunchtime as he's a real livewire, won't be too bad when I get the girls later as he likes company.
Yvonne hope your OH is ok, any news on your M i L.
Have a good day everyone, back later,

Cath xx
