Evening all !

Had a fabulous day out with the family. Great walk, grand food.

Hope all Mothers had a good day.

I am pleased you all had a good day today.
what happened to Jean and Yvonne ? I wonder if they had a good day?

I wish I could go and get my hair done I look a mess and my hair has gone grey while I have been ill. I looked in the mirror this afternoon and nearly had a fit wait till my sister sees it.
she has been on about how my hair has stayed black and hers has gone grey she is six years younger than me.

so no more photo's of me.
I have aged ten years lol.

I am putting off going to bed as long as possible. I bet I know who is in bed and reading.

good night all. see you tomorrow.

Rita

Morning friendlies,
a gorgeous sunny start to the day here.
Jean good to hear from you, how is Scarlett. I would love to be able to take to the roads and wander alone with my thoughts, hope you enjoyed it.
No work today so will probably sort out my packing for next week and catch up with the ironing. We have the headstone cut to size and ready to go, must be the most unusual item we've ever had to pack for a holiday.
Hope you all have a good day,

Cath xx

Morning All,

Jean did you ever run a cafe ....LOL you seem to know what a good breakfast consists of ..

Oops now I'll get a telling off from Stevey , because he does a good breakfast as well .... don't you Stevey X

Cath ....wont that headstone be a weight for you besides the cases ?
hope your not flying ....

Stevey ...sorry I forgot to tell you ...grandson is a four boater, Quad is what he said.
he's getting hungrier since he's been rowing ,he ate two roast dinners yesterday .

Not so nice here today just a bit overcast,and I have to go out for food as I have visitors tomorrow for an evening meal.

Pauline ...sit down and relax today give the garden a rest it will always need tending too this time of the year.

Rita ....don't worry about your hair wait until your better and get down to the chemist for a nice hair colour.........no one is going to see you now while your home. We all have the same problem with hair while we are poorly.

I'm off for my bath ....

morning it is nice outside the sun is out and it is shining on the daffs in the front lawn.
outside my bedroom window the bluebells have started to open the dark green of the leaves and the blue of the bells look like a painting.

I have taken my washing into the laundryroom this morning. I made up my mind to do the washing. as I need to get out into the fresh air and sunshine while we still have it.


did anyone watch Country File last night. I noticed the people in that. going up tree's and putting nesting boxes up leaned the ladder up the tree trunk but no one held the ladder while they went up and down.
The Health and Safety people told our window clearners off for doing that and they now use hoses to clean the windows. not as good as a good leatherwash rub and dry

Rita.

Rita, don't worry about your hair, just do what the rest of us do and put a colour on it.

It's very dark and dull here......... freezing cold as well.

Mo, I knew you would get loads of prezzies............ still waiting to see what Shelly got off her 13 year old!!

Marilyn, I was thinking the same thing about the headstone, I can imagine Cath pushing it in a wheelbarrow.

Going to rake the photos out for Cath.

morning all

yesterday daughter and me whent pizza hut and left the old man and the boys to feed them self allday but we did feed the baby cos we dident fancy him getting ill with there cooking lol

i got a new usb stick and now started to post the head stones from sheppy cemetery althow a very big cenetery iv only got about 200 head stones
but hope to get some more soon

Afternoon people!
Sat at my desk eating a cold chicken roll. I don't have to go out for shopping because it's fish and chips night!

I have been trying to cheer my son Mike who had the cancer operation up. (I need cheering up myself my chest infection is getting better but my ears are getting worse ) he is so down he said he feel as though life has passed him by. he has to go everyday to get his wound cleaned it is still not right but Thursday he has an appointment with the consultant as they are going to do an operaiton on his other kidney the renal gland had a nodule on and they have to remove it.
He is aloud to drive his car now. but he said he drove around for a while but went home as he felt so tired.
so please postivite thought for Mike.

I have been reading up in Neil Oliver born in Ayr 1967. I knew he was a Scottish Broadcaster but did not know he wrote books as well. His wifes name is Trudy the same as my Grandsons wife. and he has three children Evie. Archie and Teddy.
He tells how he works from an office at Home he can see Sterling Castle from his office.
His two Grandfathers fought in the first world war.
His Mums father fought at Gallipoli and was shot by friendly fire.
His fathers father fought at the Somme.

Rita

Evening all.
Pauline thanks for the photos, its nice to put a face to the names. I will send one of me but may be after I get back.
The headstone is a fair old weight but as OH pointed out isn't any heavier than 2 passengers. We have an 8 seater and only 4 of us travelling so should be ok.
Rita I'm glad your chest is getting better, shame about your ears though. I hope Mikes next op is a success and he can recover quickly and have a better quality of life.
Off up my tree for a while before Waking the Dead.
(((((hugs))))) for all,

Cath xx

Evening All !

All Mothers suitably recovered from being pampered ?

Strange weather today, Rain and wind , then sun and calm then back to rain and wind, then back to sun and calm. It's still calm......the sun has gone to bed.

Catherine,
It is just a Headstone you're carrying......not a body as well !!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL
A body is best carried in a Roof Box..........you don't get a smell.

Ok ! I agree.....I have a sick sense of humour.

Busy day again, must stop this work nonsense, it's interfering with my Leisure time. Those little jobs, the five minute ones, seem to take forever.

Lady Stephen is now on her Easter Holidays. A Lady of Leisure. Spends her day thinking up jobs for me to do. A big PLUS though......she is not a spendthrift. I'm also magic with money..... I can make it vanish.

Almost time for shower and supper.

Back later.

evening all

I didn't realise that school holidays start on Friday.
I'm looking forward to 21st April. The last day of work before 11 days off thanks to Easter, William and Kate and Mayday!
I'll get a lot of reading done.

Good evening everyone, hope you have all had a nice day.
Cath, Scarlett is fine, growing fast, and walking now, into everything. lol.
It is lovely travelling the roads, slow but very pleasant, with only my horse for company, she is a lovely gentle creature, I tell her all my problems and she doesn't answer back. I really enjoy it, do it most weekends during the summer.
Marilyn, never run a cafe, lol, but would quite like to, I enjoy cooking.
Enjoyed Mothers day, but must admit I used to love it more when my kids were young and made their own cards for me, I still have them after all these years.
Mo my mora, how are you and how is your little star Lilly, bet she is growing fast.
Rita, hope you are starting to feel better, dont worry about your hair for a few days, get well first.
Stephen you certainly keep busy, bet you are looking forward to the Easter holiday.
Will wish you all a good night and sweet dreams.
Angels on your pillow.
Jean xx

Evening to everyone
Well been a busy few days.
Curry & Charity night Friday.
At Eldest daughters on Saturday with my son too.
Sunday we went to get hubby's hair cut at our son's then went for an hours walk with them with their Spaniel, and stayed for a BBQ for lunch as the weather was nice.
Today I had little M and tonight we have been to Wellington College foe a Charity Concert for the Thames Valley Hospice. It was cancelled before Christmas because of the snow !!!
It was lovely a musical evening. My nephew was playing in the school band, he plays trumpet. Their was a male singing group a female soloist, a "Glee" group only just started in September and some readings. Really enjoyable and an evening away from the TV and my computer.

Today I did some gardening and then painted the side gate.

Hope those who are unwell soon feel better.............. glad your chest is better Rita and hope the ears improve. Hubby had his syringed this afternoon the one he was worried about was fine the drops had worked, the other is now clear so good job he went.

Mo I am so disappointed that your baby Lilly never wore the cardigans you made. The things I am making are for Bulgaria, mainly hats, mitts and scarves, some jumpers too. The small things are in a box for who ever next has a baby, friends or family. Last year I had 2 babies born in a matter of weeks and both were girls. Just the mum round the corner that I know of at the moment. As she has 3 children already she probably has lots of clothes. She is due this weekend.

Try to get on in the morning.

Linda :o) XxX

Good morning friends. hope you all had a restful night.
Looks like another showery day here. but getting warmer and brighter as the week goes on.

Breakfast anyone?

Cereal, or fruit.
