Hi Linda I have had to shut all my windows as there is a terrible smell of burning I dont see how it can be the woods near you ? but we had thick black smoke in the distance and the smoke is really bad.
I hope if kids did it they get punished, because it is a stupid thing to do. people and little babies will suffer badly with this.smoke and smell.


My Granddaughter Louise has her birthday tomorrow she will be 13 they grow up so quickly most of my Grandchildren are in their 30's and late 20's but my son married and had three children so these are the youngest Grandchildren, yet I have Great Grandchildren as old as these Grandchildren. seems so strange

Rita
My Mum had my sister 6 years after me and her sister had a son 6 years afer her first son was born

Hi Rita
I hope it's not smolke from here !!!
But the helicopter is still up, now more than 8 hours since I first smelt the smoke. There must be so much damage and who knows how many hot spots wit the dry weather recently.

I have done the ironing and gloss painted the skirting and door, I will finish this decorating. Needs another coat of emulsion then the radiator and finally it will be done. It never used to take me this long!!!

Sleep well everyone.
I too am watching Exile. Bit of a hard subject

Linda :o) XxX

Good evening and good night all.

Been dossing all day. So tired I couldn't sleep much last night, but dozed off this afternoon.

Just watched Exile, I really like John Simm, I have seen and spoken to him, he is much more smiley in life.

Back to work tomorrow, for four days, then off for a week.

Hope everyone is well.

See ya all tomorrow.

Sleep well.

Rita Best wishes to your grandaughter.

I'm of to bed soon, haven't been sleeping well lately, I suffer with hay fever and the tablets I take give me a very dry throat makes it hard to swallow and I'm coughing and wheezy. I stop the tablets for a few days to give my throat a rest but then I start sneezing, a runny nose and itchy eyes, Catch 22,

Well done Shelly, keep it up girl.
Think I'll stick with "Exile", enjoyed tonight and John Simm is rather nice. Lucky you Maddie getting to meet him.
Yvonne hope you sleep well tonight, OH suffers from hayfever and it drags him down.
Night all,

Cath xx

Good night everyone, hope you enjoyed your weekend.
I watched the wedding on Friday, what a lovely girl she is, and her sister as well.
Sunrise Saturday I started my travels, on the roads for 2 days. it was so lovely and peaceful, traveling the lanes and back roads you meet very little traffic.
Went to a school Spring fair on Saturday, really enjoyed it, the school children did a country dancing display and sang a couple of songs, think they raised quite a lot of money for the school funds.
Well think it is time for some sleep now.
Good night, may your God keep you safe.
Sweet dreams.

Bright and clear.

Our fox that I thought was old and ill has had cubs. lol

so now we have Mum and 5 little ones running around the garden.

Have a good day everyone.

Maddie

How lovely Maddie. Do you feed them?

Fires still burning here. But I think we have more cloud than smoke now. Some roads still closed, being asked not to go near the area. Still have fire fighters there too. But many areas on the news have big fires too. Lancashire, Scotland, Ireland.

Little is coming later today as she is seeing the dentist. So I have been round with the vacuum and tidied up before she gets here.

Off to get some gifts later

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX

The sun is out and I am going to walk across to the chemist to take my repeat perscription over. and get some items from Waitrose.

My Granddaughter Lousie went off to school this morning with her new phone her Dad brought her for her birthday. he said she had a big smile across her face.when she went off.
her brother Elliott ( my grandson )has gone to Portsmouth for two days with his school. he had never been and is very excited. he borrowed his mothers camera. ,
I hope the weather is OK down there for him. and not wet and windy.

see you later
Rita.

Just popped out to post cards. Local roads still closed off for the emergency services. So guess we must still be burning. The smell of smoke outside is really bad so no windows or doors open today. Glad I have no washing to do today, or maybe the next week. !!!

Will try to get back later.

Oh we were on the South today news, not sure if you get that Rita? There were 4 fires in the end. Somebody put photos onto Facebook and they are amazing but quite frightening Looked like Australia or California with their wildfires.

Linda :o) XxXX

My son was fishing at a lake near you not sure which one and he said the smoke was terrible.
He was not sure where it was ? he did mention somewhere begining with a Crow somthing or other but I did'nt get it. he thought it was that.?

I have not heard here what the fire was and what caused the smoke here but we did have a windy day so it could have come from anywhere .

been to shops now I am going to do myself some lunch.

Rita

Marilyn,
you are so right! I've done nearly 37 years! You don't get that for murder!
Mind you I suppose I should be thankful I've got a job.
I'm going to the bank to get money for my God daughters wedding pressie.
She wants money because they're doing up the bathroom and when I get back I'll read a little bit of Wuthering Heights.

Hi all.
It looks like Maddie should change her name to "Foxy Lady" thats sounds good, and the baby foxes will see her as " Super Gran" especially if she supplies them with food.

Linda, it was on our news here, about the fires as well, I think it was on the BBC local news.
Hows the paint fumes now,? did the breathing aparatus help.

Rita it's sad to hear that you had such a bad night, lets just hope that tonight is a better one for you.
How did you enjoy your twenty mile run lol Twenty minutes would be enough to see me flat on my back.

Oh Jeniwren, I missed breakfast I was late getting here, but as it's the afternoon, I will make us all a cuppa or a cold drink.
(^^)? (^^)? (^^)? (^^)? (**)/ (**)/ (**)/ (**)/ {_} {_} {_} {_} [_] [_] [_] [_]
@@@@@@ # # # # # # # cakes and biscuits. Enjoy.

Marilyn, I agree with you about Pauline keeping all the good weather in her area, it's flippin freezin here in Kent.
O.k the wind is great for drying the washing, but it cuts right through you.

Pat, stop skiving you naughty girl, and get back to work.
It's becoming the norm these days, for the bride and groom, to ask for either money or vouchers for wedding gifts.
I can remember a time when people were afraid to ask for gifts at all, as money was so scarse.

Afternoon everyone, the weather here is great, sunny and warm, have all my windows open.
Oh Mo, I would love a cup of tea please.
Fed Max [my horse] this morning, he was fine, went back to see him 45 minutes ago and he was leaning against the big tree in his paddock, when I get to him I found a wound in his leg, he has been shot, so am waiting for the vet, he will be here in about 10 minutes.
Best go and wait at the gate.
Hope you all have a nice afternoon.
Jean xx

Jean how horrible for you and Max, who could something like that. Hope he is ok and it's not too serious
