What's on the menu for the Royal Wedding?
Is it a sit down or a buffet?

Hi All.

Pat....... not sure where we are eating on Friday, could always ask Katie & Wills for any left overs !! LOL

Champers is a definite, I fancy Alexandre Bonnet Brut Rose from France then after.... ANYTHING !!....because I would be well under the table by then ...LOL

Off out now hubby wants some gadgets in T*SCO'S... and I need some diet food !!

I've just had my lunch of cold chicken, potato salad, coleslaw an apple and nut and celery salad mix. It was all quite tasty. I don't really lettuce or stuff like that. I'll have a glass of wine later this afternoon. This is definately a nice way to spend a Monday!

Happy Birthday Mrs stephens hope you have a nice day


good after noon every one iv just been plodding about today sitting in the garden watching daughter plant her seeds that she got from the news paper
think she is percy thower
but she dident have a clue who i was talking about when i called her that

Hi Shelly......LOL..... I got a packet of carrots going free from the newspaper , I'll whoosh them up to her ..

Aww I have just looked at my Rhododendron in my front garden and its beautiful 2nd year of flowering ...Flame Red. such a picture.

Been pottering as well in my garden Shelly, mainly weeding .

I have started my dieting and I'm starving !!!!!!!

Can someone send me cyber hatch something thats not fattening ..LOL

Well I had a glass of wine. I listened to Radio Devon who were reporting on the match between Tranmere and Exeter City. Unfortunately Exeter lost 4-0.
I was reading one of my Vampire books as well!

Good evening all.
I think Rita is coming home today. Lets hope she has had a good time at her daughters.

All my bedding plants are now in. Oooh they do look grand, and I am pleased with myself.
My back is aching now though.
About two weeks ago, I saw that in one of my pots, I had got something growing. But for the life of me couldn't remember what if anything I had planted in there last year.
Whilst I was doing the bedding plants, I spotted a little red beetle, settling on the mysterious plant, I suddenly remembered I had planted Oriental Lilies in the pot last year, and thought they had died on me. So out has come the spray to kill the beasties orft, they are NOT going to feast on my Lilies.

Mo I wouldn't spray the beasties, I usually squash them as they can wipe all your lilies.
We have been out again today. Hubby hates being in when the weather is good. Me I'm just tired. We went to a country show at Thame, near Aylesbury. It was good but lots more walking and standing and it was quite hot. Had a nice noodle, stir fry with chicken for lunch, nicer and lighter than sandwiches or pies or chips. We had a cider too.
Hubby has just done a BBQ and the youngest came over to borrow something and ended up staying and sharing dinner.

Started on my friends family tree and found out quite a bit for her, hope she finds it interesting.

Have done a little knitting Mo, but it's a bit hot right now, and it's white wool.

Hope to do a bit of gardening tomorrow, have to see what the weather is like.

Linda :o) XxX

Linda I bet you felt tired after the cider!
I remember last year when I went to the Devon county Show. It was really hot and you're on your feet a lot of the time.

Evening All !

Hi everone Hope you all had a good Easter?
Happy birthday to Mrs Stephens I am sure you had a good day.

We had a BBQ at my daughters on Saturday it was really nice the sun was out and it was so warm. my Grandson James arrived with his family of four and his wife.

My SIL Steve has a beautiful garden pond he built it his-self a long time ago and it is full of Goldfish including two Tench must be 50 or more very large fish many are having babies..I sat under the porche seat enjoying watching them all and eating the food.
My grandson made the bread he makes wonderful bread.and he is not a baker.
The day before my daughter had been washing her ktichen floor and sidded and fell and hurt her left knee she is on crutches and in a lot of pain. Stacey didnt come Ryan has a bladder that is not useable so he now has to wear the little bag.he is so brave about it all. His mother Stacey who had , had so many medical problems has to have a scan this week as she has a lump come on her tummy and they think she has a large Cyst. size of a grapefruit.most of her life seems to have bneen spent in hospital

This morning my daughter took me in the car to buy a new electric cooker I dont want my gas one now. we laughed as her husband drove the car and my daughter had her crutches and I had my walking stick. I was asked why I wore my cardigan as it was so hot ? I showed them my arms which are now covered in bruses and I wanted to hide them as I get weired looks from people.

I did not buy the electric cooker but came out with a smart little digital camera pocket size. I brought it with money I had given me for my christmas and birthday and mothers day.

I have seen the cooker I want but have to find a corgie gas engineer to disconect my gas cooker.

I was sitting looking out the window I said to my daughter two people have gone next door and they looked just like Mike and Jan the bell rang and there stood my eldest son Mike and his wife. I just cried like a fool. he has his next cancer op on 25th of May.

so now you all know what I have been up too over the holiday period.

Love Rita

Rita,
I'm glad you had a nice time.
Digital cameras are good. You can take loads of photos.
I'm glad you were able to see Mike.
I'm going to bed now

Morning All !

Welcome Home Rita. You certainly seem to have enjoyed your jaunt.

Cooker to a Digital Camera........not a lot of difference.

What a surprise for you when Mike turned up. Magic.

Have a good day ya all.

Morning everyone, I trust you all had a good weekend and enjoyed the lovely weather.
A belated Happy Birthday to Mrs. Stephen.
Another long weekend coming up, then back to normal [whatever normal is]
my Grandson booked today/Wed/Thurs as holidays so he will have had 11 days off, lucky lad.
I had two days of absolute peace Sat/Sun, on the roads, well country lanes really, the weather was great and I found a lovely farm to stay Sat. night, the farmer was such a nice man, he let me put my vardo by the stream that runs through his land, so I had my supper sitting by a stream with not a human in sight. just my horse for company.
Breakfast is ready.

Cereal, fresh grapefruit or juice.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms on hotplate.

Toast, hot rolls or crumpets

Tea or coffee.
help yourselves.

Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx

morning all

im up early as son has school for 3 days and the little stinker done want to get out of bed
to many days off if you ask me

rita i bet it was lovley for you to be with all your family

morning everyone

Jean I am pleased you had a good time. as my daughter and son in law were driving me home yesterday going toward the Airport there was a small lake on the left hand side and I saw a Varda there.how strange is that.?

I did it enjoy it having the family around is a big boost whyen you have felt down, and two see two of the family members with cancers talking and laughing is a big up lift. once Mike has got through this second operation we will see him fatten up a little.

Stephen it is funny going in to a shop to buy a cooker and coming out with a camera. but think of the lovely photo's I will be able to take of you all in
your wedding finery on that special day Friday

while on about electric cookers has anyone got a crematic cooker ?I am trying to see what will be the best. my daughter and son said crematic it will save me a lot of cleaning ? what I wonder is how can you see if your sauspan is on the ring when you have a crematic top.
I had a ten pound win on the lotto last saturday .

Have a lovely day everyone.

Rita

Morning everyone,
I've just got up! No work!
Have a nice day.
Jean I'm glad you had a nice time. Welcome back.
