Shelly we are (5) hours behind you lot...

I just got back from church.....and a young lady fainted, the priest had to call out " any doctors in the house " !! LOL
.
I think it was the heat .....or she was pregnant ...hmm that rings a bell as my sister fainted about 4 times in her early pregnancy she was only 18 yrs.

Its so hot today....but I'm loving it .just having about 12 showers a day LOL

I'll take a look at those records Shelly I might find someone on my tree as the saying goes.... an aunt of my mother told be a murder was committed in my family hundreds of years ago !! I have been to the Plymouth library and scored the local newspapers to no avail.........such stories can be made up for gossip ...so I'm still looking for this murderer ...

Afternoon ladies, (no men about at the mo).
Having a lazy afternoon doing a little research and not much else. Finished spring cleaning upstairs this morning and OH is cooking dinner so I'm a lady of leisure, lol. Son and grandaughter coming for dinner.
Sunny here but had an almighty shower earlier.
Will have to go look at those prison records.

lucky you Marilyn being able to say it's so hot
I've got the fire on!
I hope the young lady that fainted was ok.
I had a nice surprise. My sister is in Germany visiting her daughter. I always phone her on Sundays and she just phoned me.

Maddie, are his knees bad because you keep making him crawl?

It's been freezing here today, not much rain but very cold.

I'm fine thanks, pet, been a busy with family. I'm helping someone with his tree at the moment - instead of doing my ironing.

I've been putting off ironing all day, suppose I should make and effort and get it done.

Pat sitting by the fire is the best place to be today, is it a log fire?

PatriciaAnn

PatriciaAnn Report 27 Feb 2011 17:17

It's a gas fire with a flame effect.
Quite good.

I am having trouble with this site a warning of a blackhole a red warning from AGV they said there is an alert on the site. they have blocked it. I thought I was the only one but someone has put a thread up and people are having the same problem. think it might be one of their adverts. but not too sure ? . just thought I would let you know.

Hello everyone.
Wow I am exhausted, this painting job is taking us forever. We have still got the dining room and kitchen to do yet.
When we were young we thought nothing of working through till 2 or 3 a.m, to finish before the children woke up in the morning, but now, well it's a job to keep the energy levels up.

I hope Stephen has had an enjoyable time, and that he got home safe and sound. And I hope he managed to get his little bit of solitude, to remember his friends.

Have a lovely holiday Linda, bring a little sunshine back for us please.

Home is the sailor home from the sea and the climber home from the hills.

Fantastic. Could not have wished for anything better....well perhaps my two friends along with me.

My wee tent by the burn, a good meal off the primus, a dram to toast my friends, cosy down with a good book, drift off to sleep with the gentle sound of the river as a lullaby.

Fresh snow over night above about 1200ft. A bit of rain early morning low down, all moved away to give a cold clear day.

From the summit the views as usaul were great. Placed a rock on the cairn...time to remember my friends.........cup of coffee and a bite to eat......then headed back down the mountain.

Home to catch the tail end of a Christening party. My wife knew how important going this weekend is to me and went to the Church this afternoon along with the rest of the family.

Lovely tired feeling now........Supper, Shower then bed.

Hope all are well................Night all.

Hi Stephen your our brave soldier boy !

Glad you got back in one piece, is Mrs Stephen going to get you a nice hot cuppa of Chocy....and massage your tired body ?

Well just a thought on my part ..LOL

Shelly we are 5hrs behind you not 7hrs......I have just come back from my walk on the beach, I should have lost half a stone by now .....but I'm drinking wine and putting back all the calories .....not good is it ?, G&T is OK because not much calories in that ,only I have convinced myself that anyway ...LOL

I had my boys on Skype today.......lovely to see them and Grand kids .

So I'm feeling a bit homesick ,but I'll get over it .

Shelly have you gone again ?????

LOL Marilyn, you don't let that homesickness bother you too much now!

Is it today that Linda is going away? Hope you have a great time Linda.

Mo, don't push yourself, you've got all the time in the world.

Welcome home Stephen, pleased to see you got back safely.......... and with a good feeling.

Where's our Dermot? Mind you, I've only looked at this page, haven't got time to look at the others.

Rita, I'm not getting that warning, wonder what it is.

I'll be out most of the day again.
