Evening
Shelly you are busy
Marilyn thanks for the photos, it still looks sunny where you are. When do you come back? Please bring the sun. Grey here til late afternoon.

Been washing nets and cleaning windows(inside ) today. Start of the spring clean. No child and no hubby he's at work.

Done a bit of knitting.

Maddie I've had a quick look for your family, but can only find yhe 1881 census so far and a birth of the son. I have a possible marriage, but need to recheck that as it was midnight last night when I was searching

Linda :o) XxX

Hi everyone,
I liked the jokes Demot,
My sister sent me a St Patricks' day card!
I've been busy reading War and Peace!

Happy St Patricks' day.

I've never read W&P, is it good?

Hi Everyone,

USA is the new Ireland ...LOL they loved it !!

Beads were thrown out to the everyone just like Mardi Gras in Australia .

Going over to my friends for a drink......pew ..its turned out 89 degrees today

Hello Fiona .....

Marilyn,
The pictures were good. I like the one of the car with the shamrock.
The sky looked blue.
Fiona,War and Peace is a good book but a bit long.......I'll be chuffwd with myself when i've finished it.

Hi all.
Marilyn the pics were great. No wonder we haven't seen stevie boy, he was in the row of pipers in the last pic. lol

I loved the car, it reminded me of Al Capone.

Of to do some more searching, see ya later.

O lovely
you see that cath mo got all the time in the world to look at marilyns holiday photos and there is us stuck up her tree LOL

First hallo Fiona nice to see a new one on the thread.
Marilyn those photos were great thank you .for sending them.
we expect rain tomorrow according to the forcaste this evening.

I expect that will be another excuse for the water board men to not do anymore to the holes in the path they have made .my son said perhaps they are Irish and had the day off to celebrate. lol

evening to everyone hope you all had a good day today ?
did I tell you that we had mail yesterday and it was damp we had no rain so have no idea why it was like that.my friend had her census and could not open they envelope as it was stuck to the pages because of it being wet. so she said she is going to do hers on line.

Desiderata
Written by Max Ehrmann in 1927

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, And remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing future of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

This was a song in the charts back in 1972. I like the words. I'm sure that I had more sense when I was younger!

Hi,
thanks for the photos Marilyn, the car looked good.

Pauline I liked the pictures you sent, the lady who painted them is very talented.

Hello Fiona, come back and chat again, don't be shy, we don't bite lol

The vet is coming tomorrow to give the horse her yearly jab and check her teeth and the dog is having her jabs too, sharing the visit with a friend, her horse is having the same. We share the call out fee, makes it a bit cheaper.

I remember that song, it was spoken wasn't it

I am having trouble with GR site today I had trouble yesterday as well when I type and submit it stays and then after a while I get sorry the site is having work done on it. so I click on the backward arrow at the top and it go on to the thread, weired that.

I enjoyed the toast Stephen it went down well with some marmalade
