General Chat

Hi Marilyn

I feel sorry for myself I am not use to being so down and feeling ill I took myself off to Town today did a walk about thought it would do me good to get out it was packed I thought I would go and get my hair shampooed and cut and blow dried but there were 12 people in front of me and there were only two girls working so I came home. I will try and get there in the week when it is not so busy. I have a young Italian hair i dresser and she was away today.
It has been a lovely day I am wondering how the Meet went off. I am pleased it stayed nice for them. but there were alot of probl;ems on the underground trains but hopefully they missed that.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Jean. hope your day goes well.
Love Rita

Slithering Snakes.

This mother snake had three baby snakes living in a pit. She wanted to go out shopping one day & she didn’t want to take the baby snakes with her to the shops. So, she asked them if they wouldn’t mind hissing around their pit until she returned home.

Yes, hissing around the pit - well, they are snakes; snakes do hiss & they live in a pit. They agreed. She said if she were late returning from the shops, they were to go over to Mrs Pots’ pit & hiss there to await the mother’s arrival.

Mrs Pots was a neighbouring snake widow with no baby snakes of her own. So, they said fair enough. This is what we will do like you said: “We’ll hiss around our pit till you get home & if you are late, we will go over to Mrs Pots’ pit & hiss there till you turn up”.

So, she went off to the shops & the baby snakes hissed around their own pit. And right enough, the mother snake was late home. So, the baby snakes decided to stop hissing around their own pit & went over to
Mrs Pots’ pit to hiss, as instructed.

Now, they were hissing around Mrs Potts pit for a long time when
Mrs Pots came out of her pit & let out a fierce roar. She frightened the baby snakes & they were upset. She scolded them for the noise they made. “You cannot hiss around here. Go back to your own pit & hiss there“.

So, they stopped hissing around Mrs Pots’ pit & went back home to hiss around their own pit again. There they were hissing & crying at the same time when their mother snake arrived home. And she asked them why they were crying & they told her the full story.

The mother snake was enraged. “Mrs Pots has a nerve - she really has a bloody nerve. I remember Mrs Pots when she didn’t even have a pit to hiss in herself”.
-----------------------------------------

The snake slithers around
sneaky not a sound.

Creeps upon his prey
attacks then & runs away.

He might be pretty look at
outside he's a snake, inside he's a rat.

Beware of him, he bites
and does it within his rights.

The snake will smother
even kill his own mother.

Snakes are full of greed
upon your soul he will feed.

The snake is a self-adoring creature
humility is not a feature.

Snakes are everywhere
so beware.

Patricia hello,
I enjoyed the rugby and the score. >>>>>>> runs away from Pat.

Hi All
Hope the meet went well..................... anyone back yet?

Nets all washed & dried. Most of the ironing done. Bed to strip tomorrow Ugh never ending. Always some washing & then the ironing.

Have done some cross stitch, finished the baby cardigan and also the jumper for Bulgaria.

Might go and read as there isn't much on TV other than sport

Oh Maddie will send an e-mail tonight, look out for it, might not be new to you but see what you think.

Linda :o) XxX

Gooood evening everyone. What a great time we had today. I hope Maddie was o.k after I left, as the vino was going down a treat.
You would all love her to bits, she's a proper giggler.
And it was great to meet our Yvonne, she's a smashing lady, and quiet as a mouse till you get her chatting.
We had real laugh today, and the weather was so kind to us.
I have a confession to make, I forgot my camera, but plenty of pics were taken by the others.
We met the wonderful Foggy, oh boy he is such a gentleman, and truly does look like an older version of Adam Faith. We also met Johnny Blue Eyes, unfortunately his eyes are not quite as blue as they were once upon a time bless him.
Whilst we were there, the waitress came to let us know, that our Jeniwren
had rung and wished us all a lovely time. How lovely is that.
I got home at about 5.30, and had to feed Roly's hungry belly, mind you mine was grumbling as well.

I hope Maddie and Yvonne got home safetly.

Mo, sounds like you had a wonderful day out. Lovely of Jean to call and wish you all a good time.
Dont think I'm ever going to enjoy a meet, being stuck on an island like I am. Sobs...........

Cath xx

Hi all ,

Mo did you miss me ?? LOL

Sounds like a good time all round, hope you cheered me with a G&T ..!

Mo fancy forgetting your camera ....naughty girl....now I have to see what other gals took ..Ugghhh.

But so glad to had a great day ......I was thinking about you all..

Ok I'll wait for more news ...

Marilyn we did miss you honey, and we spoke very kindly of you...... well the others did, I ran you into the ground, for going on holiday and deserting us like that. LOL
I know that Maddie and Yvonne were taking pics, and Garden Pest (Karen)is going to forward the pics she took of us all as well, so you wont be short of photo's.

Cath when theres another local meet over here, you will have to come over and stay with one of us. You know you will be welcome.
It would be great if we could all meet up sometime.

Hi everyone

had a great time at the meet, it was lovely seeing people, it was great to meet Mo and Maddie in the flesh

Maddie was still drinking when I left Mo, I left about 5, took ages to get to Kings x on the bus, traffic was bad. Got home at 7.

Cath, it's a shame we can't get to see you, Maddie took lots of photos

Dermot, your story of the snakes was funny.

x

Mo that would be great. Cant wait to see some photos of today.
Hope the others get home safely.
Off to read for a while, may pop back later,

Cath xx

Hiya Yvonne, glad you enjoyed today.
Bet you will all sleep well tonight

* A birth certificate shows you were born.

* A death certificate shows you have died.

* A photo album shows you have lived.

Hi Yvonne, pleased you got home safetly. Maddie was supposed to have been getting some shopping on the way home, I wonder if she got it.LOL
I believe one gentleman may have been a little upset by one persons comments today, dont you. Not mentioning anyones name of course, but he really should change his name, bless him he was so inoffensive wasn't he, I felt sorry for him actually.

Yes Mo, he was very quiet, hope he didn't get upset he went quite early.

It was lovely of Maddie to do those bookmarks

x

I agree with you Yvonne, he seemed to leave not long after the comment was made.

And Maddie the bookmarks were a lovely thought, thank you very much.
I didn't think you would get the shopping somehow.

I've finished reading War and Peace! Yipee!
I'm glad the "thing" went ok today. It must have been strange for you to see the people in the flesh.
Catherine the rugby result was a blip!
It was nice of Jean to phone up the place where you met.
I'll catch you all later tomorrow morning. x

off to bed, I'm shattered

night night
