Morning Stephen
Thanks for your advice re the fence painting. Hadn't thought about how wet the wood might be !!! We have had good weather for a while now but not long enough to dry it very much. So when hubby asks why it isn't done I'll tell him what you advised me.
Back to the cloakroom instead. Will try to paint the ceiling today if I can cope with the ladder. It is such a small space.

Washing finished so got to hang that out next.
Just finished the book I started, couldn't put it down. Holidays make me start reading again, trouble is I don't get much else done.

Keep busy eveyone

Linda :o) XxX

What a nightmare............*+*%^$"!&*?&^%£ and other such words that can't be printed on here.

I was having a nice big Bacon Roll when.....CRACK.....some rather expensive Dentistry work snapped off.

I am now missing THREE teeth.

Needless to say I am not a very happy chappy.

Where's the super glue ?

Hello Linda and Stephen,
Ouch, Stephen! Not a good start to your day.
Linda it is misty here as well this morning but I have put washing out because sun is trying to come out and there is a bit of a breeze.
Wearing my flip flops today but not brave enough for cropped jeans yet.

Morning All,

Oh dear Stevey .....was the roll stale ???? LOL

Have I cheered you up ?

Sorry Stevey but you asked for that ... but I had to add some humour to your tale, , now you will have to go to the dentist first thing in the morning and get it fixed ......make sure you take Shelly with you as well .

I'm out gardening today ....Pete is cutting the grass and its smelling lovely.

Had a couple of connections with my friends ancestors and its keeping me really busy and my Albert is pleased again with what I have found for him if fact he went to visit a lady aunt yesterday that I found and had some more great news !!

Speaks later hope you are all well ..xx

Marilyn,

We have scheduled appointment with the Dentist for Tuesday morning.

Humour ! I smile and you see a gap as wide as the Channel Tunnel. Trains liable to pass through at any moment.

Anyway the roll was only about 4 years old.....should have still been fresh !

If I was in pain you could have sent up some G&T to kill it.

I love the smell of newly cut grass.

Rita, Hope the wee lad is OK soon Not good if not passing urine.

Hi Rita and others
Yes the sun is shining again.
Been in the outside garden tidying up a bit pruning some shrubs and trying to get rid of some bamboo roots that hubby was tackling lst Autumn. Hopefully it is dead but I know how persistant it is.
Just seen my friend, her husband is doing OK now on antibiotics as well. And already fed up with having to stay in bed and the food !!! He must be feeling a bit better.

Enjoy the afternoon, lighter later today yippee

Pleased to hear your friend is doing a bit better Linda, let's hope he continues to improve.

Rita, don't wait too long to go to the dentist, get it done before you get pain. Sorry to hear about little Ryan, it must have been very painful for him. I wonder what caused it. Your family continues to have health problems, nothing seems to go right for them.

Stephen, did you cook that bacon a bit too crispy this morning? Hope you can get it sorted on Tuesday. I've had a look at the holiday places, I like the look of Redcar Lodge, very pretty.

It's been beautiful here today, it must be nice where Pat is as well............ she's put her scarf away!! Have you put your gloves away as well Pat?

Has Jean been on since she had her scan? I hope everything went OK.

Going to put some more washing on the line now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone.

Hi All,

Mo.... don't worry about your grand kids emigrating it takes nearly two years to complete all the rigmarole of documents etc,,, Does she have a trade that Australia wants ? I have knowledge of this as I have two of my brothers daughters out there and another one just turned down because they don't want any more Hairdressers so has failed with the points system...
Its very expensive out there now compared to ten years ago as I was out there last year...I dont know how anyone from UK can survive. even my nieces agree with me.
You really have to be well off now to emigrate...

I have been gardening most of the day and even sat in the garden for lunch with a glass of ......WINE !!! gone off G&T for now ..LOL

Bad news ...my friends Hubby passed away while I was in USA ,she rang me last night had cancer and only lasted 2 months !! terrible ,I introduced her to him 48 yrs ago......so felt so sad for her. I'm going to fetch her next week for a natter,

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one.

It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960.

Symptoms:

1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. Done that!

2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! That too!

3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. Yep!

4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. Aha!

5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. Well darn!

6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. Oh , no - not again!

7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." I just hate that!

8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh No!

It is called the "C-NILE VIRUS."

Hmmm..... Have I sent this to you already?
