Morning all,

If you're reading this then you have made it through the night. Bet you're glad eh. !

Bit of a thaw on. The snow is now wet and sticky. Horrible. Prefer the nice powder stuff or nice and crisp snow.

Well I figure....if we have to have it......why not something I can enjoy.

Not a lot planned for today so I may just pop in and out to annoy everyone.

Marilyn.....Shells ! My dear Lady brough a pile of them back from Florida.
They keep popping up in various places around the house.

Have a good day ya all !

Morning everyone,
Stephen I have never been to Scotland but always wanted to. One of these days I will get up there as a lot of my Irish ancestors (Lamonts) hailed from there. The scenery looks spectacular.
Got a few bits and pieces to do this morning and then more hunting for those elusive ones including Mo's Matthias!!
Hope you all have a nice relaxing day

Cath xx

morning Stephen and Catherine I have to laugh at your morning rolls why do they call them MORNING rolls dont you eat them at lunch time or tea time ?

I dont think we are going to get dry weather today the sky is very overcast does not look at all nice. I had the heating on this moning then turned it off as it is not cold.

My daughter and my son in Law are coming over this morning for a couple of hours so I am looking forward to that. so I have brought them a nice fresh cream Coffee chocolate eclaire.that should go down nicely.


see you later
Rita

MO

No Marilyn ? I hope her and Pete are OK.

Rita,

Morning Rolls, I suppose it's a Scottish thing.

The local shops, Newspaper and small Grocers, have fresh rolls delivered very early in the morning.
Folk tend to have them at breakfast time or mid morning while they are still very fresh.
They come loose and are not pre-packed like the Supermarket ones.

Great with Bacon or Egg on them.

Morning everyone
Well you will all have realised by now that I have the washing on. As it is raining here at least !!!!
Slept OK, hopefully getting through the time changes better this time. I stayed up til 11:30, so I would sleep later this morning.
Did some more knitting last night. Will try some cross stitch today, if my eyes will focus for the fine work needed.

Be back later.

Good news about your nephew Mo.
How is Mike, Rita?
Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Morning everyone,
I've have brunch please Stephen!
Sunny here but there's a cold wind.
I'll be watching Agatha Chrisite stuff and the footie and reading some more of War and Peace!
Have a nice day x

Hi Everyone !!

Hows you all?

I too have been watching the Japanese news ....cant believe so many people missing ...I did see a picture of a Ship just flop onto its side ....it was incredible.

Can you believe there is a St Patrick's parade here on Thursday ....I have to laugh as the shops are full of regalia for it .....Green Hats, cups, plates, serviettes, even tea towels anything to make money........LOL
I am more Irish than any of them ,so its laughable that they go into this BIG time !!

But I will be going to see the parade........just out of curiosity .

Linda that's the worst thing about holidays ...the Washing !!

Hope to have a drink with my neighbour to celebrate his home coming .....anything for a celebration ! LOL

Back later ....just got back from mass....

Hi Linda Mike has been very depressed but he got some good news this morning my daughter in Law works as intensive care nurse at a hospital in Harefield Mikes consutlant said the Kidney had. had a massive tumour but they had taken tissue from around it and it is all clear. Mike has to have a small operation later on but things look good,This has cheered Mike up. he see the consultant on Thursday
Thank you for asking.

Stephen I know when we have been on holiday we go hott rolls for breakfast in the mornings
, I recall mother in law going to her brothers shop in the villiage he had a bakery and she use to buy rolls early morning, she never called them early morning rolls but it makes sense. these rolls were made with gulls eggs the men use to climb the cliff and gather gulls eggs which was used to make the bread. it tasted fishy. they dont do it now to my knowledge but I am going back to 1972 or there abouts.

Marilyn when my sister lived in New York she use to take the children to see the St Patricks day parade she said it was somthing to see. brilliant they really went for it all the way.

I bet the pub in Cricklewood broadway and Kilburn will be full of people celebrating . last year I was staying with my sister and they were all in the road singing and dancing. the Irish flags were flying.

Rita

Linda, I can't tell you relieved I was to hear that my nephew M was home.
My daughter rang me to let me know, but I have heard nothing from my brother at all. Shows how close we two are doesn't it.

It's such good news about Mike as well Rita. I hope all goes well with his
Consultant on Thursday. It sounds like he is not as depressed as he was, thank god.
I hope you had a good time with your daughter and son in law. Did they have a look at your scanner for you, or is it still o.k after your fixing it.

Cath, thank you for having a look for my Matthias, but please don't give yourself a headache over him. If he's not to be found, then so be it.
You are supposed to be relaxing today love.

Oh please Marilyn, don't go down the road of the Americans, with their plastic surgery. We like you the way you are honey.
I'm surprised not to see someone with a belly button stuck in the middle of their foreheads, where they have so many face lifts. lol !!!!!!!

Pat, have you been watching the Rugby this afternoon.?

Maddie, what do you think upset you last night. Was it because you ate late at night, to give you indigestion. I hope you are feeling a little better now. Try and catch up on some sleep this evening.

The news from Japan, is so shocking isn't it. The Nuclear Reactors must now be so unsteady, after the quake. It's so frightening isn't it.

Yvonne, is there anymore news on you M.I.L. I hope your OH had a safe journey up to see her.

Hi Stephen. I hope you are enjoying your day.

I wonder what has happened to our Jean,Shelly and Pauline today.

Afternoon All


PLASTIC SURGERY ......DON'T EVEN GO THERE !

Come to me instead.

I'm a dab hand with Plaster, Polyfilla and Fibreglass.

If you have bits that need uplifting, separating or crossing your heart.

Look no further. In my time I have made Hammocks and sails.

Good witha scalpel and suction pump. Excess fat goes in seconds.

Yep ! Stevie B. the Body Renovation Specialist.

So we will have to wait for their return , the only other place they could be is in Scotland helping Stevey Boy shovel all his snow !! LOL

Come back all of you......NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going on the beach for a top up with the Crabs ,,,LOL

Edit......

So that is where they are see I might have guessed up in Scotland with Stevey Boy having face lifts ....HMMM .......WELL WELL WELL

Marilyn, I reckon Stephen has been practising his body renovations on the girls, and we wont recognise them now.

Mo,

Even their own Mothers wont know them. ROFL

Mo, I dodn't watch rugby just footie.
When I was at younger if you were called Patrick or Patricia you would get a sweet on 17th March!
I know I look funny but I wouldn't consider having plastic surgery. Once you start it's an never ending job.Sorry Stephen I won't be one of your clients!

Dermot that is really a laugh I read it twice.

Stevie you would need 6 months to treat me with all your magic plastic surgery.

there isnt a bit that dose not need doing. well one bit but the others need treatment. Lol.

Rita

Hello everyone, hope you are all ok and have had a good weekend.
I have been on the roads for the weekend, first time I took my vardo out this year. it is so relaxing just going along at my own pace with just my horse for company. only had one little upset, a group of 3/4 young lads, early teens I would say, thought it was funny to throw stones at Connor, [my horse] but a farmer who was travelling on his tractor soon sent them on their way.
Good news about your nephew Mo, am so pleased for you, and how is your beautiful baby Lilly?
Rita glad the news about Mike is good, you must be so relieved.

Am off to have a shower now and then relax with a cuppa..

Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx

Back for a quick nosey.

Mo, I had a small tipple last night, and ate some cashew nuts. So whether the combination made me a bit dickey I dont know. I had a rotten 'earthy' feeling this morning, but it has eased thanks. Lunch went down well, so hopefully it was just a glitch. lol

Pleased for your nephew Mo, and hope your son is feeling better Rita.

Plastic surgery? Who wants to look like a rabbit caught in the headlights? There is a customer of mine who has had something done. Bad enough to see on tv. but even scarier in life. She is very 'shiny' and startled.

Getting me things ready for the morning, dont like to run around like a headless chickadee in the mornings, too many things to do.

Apparently the Rugby was good, Kevin and Dave screaming like banshees.

Maybe back later - Waking The Dead on tonight.
