Night Stephen.
Have come across some interesting info tonight which may mean I've found my long lost GG Grandparents. It will need some unravelling though so I will have to put my thinking cap on and see what happens. :S
Might have to call on my GR friends to help :D.
Will say goodnight to all,

Cath xx

Where have you all gone?

is everyone having an early night

I tried to get on GR this afternoon but was having probs, seems like a lot of people were

Condolences to you Stephen and Mrs Stephen and to Madge's family.

Rita pleased to hear of Mike's good news, hopfully things will get better now
Dermot you were brave posting that. Made me laugh,

<3

at last looks like we can post again

Having to come in via the .co.uk site and put upwith the flashing ads. Not good for my eyes.

Had a quiet day. Weather too changeable to risk doing much. Did lots of knitting, finished the beaney, 3 baby cardigans, sewn up and buttons sewn on. Now finishing off a baby jumper, hopefully finished off tomorrow.

Friend came for tea and a chat. Her husband is the one who was poorly. The specialist has said he should not drive as a risk of fitting, which may have happened when he was in hospital. He isn't a happy bunny to say the least. They are off to the Chelsea Flower Show tomorrow and we are going to them for dinner on Monday. I keep forgetting it is a Bank Holiday !! LOL

Catch you all tomorrow

Linda :-) <3

Hi Stephen, have deleted mine, haha, got to think of the ones who are trying to diet. I would like a bacon roll please, and a strong coffee, need something to wake me up today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone, hope you have a good day.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Morning Jean, Cath and Stephen............ and all the others when they get here.

A bit dull outside and breezy again, hopefully the sun will get out later.

Couldn't you sleep Stephen, what were you doing up at 2.38 this morning.............. apart from being on here?

Hello Pauline :-)
Stephen was probably up to no good with his trusty sidekick Fluffy Paws, ROFL

Morning everyone, I'll have tomatoes on toast please stephen.
Have a good bank holiday weekend everyone, I'm of to the caravan, hope the weather picks up a bit.

Morning all
I was up a bit earlier but have already been for a walk. Start of a new regime. Hubby is on early shift so I have to start somewhere.
Bit dull and overcast, hope it either does some good or lets the sun come out to play.

Might claer some of the spare bedroom now and think about decorating it. It needs new carpet too so a bigish job.

Have a good day everyone

Linda

If the Forth Bridge fell down, should the authorities build a fifth?

(Well, it is Friday!).

Dermot
Having just seen the Forth Bridge, yes they should have a replacement !!!!
Is it true that once they finish painting it from one end to the other they have to start all over again?

It's cold here !!!! Give me back Aprils weather, please

Linda :-) <3

Linda I can tell you that, itis true my cousin who lives just outside of Glasgow now, worked on it till he retired. he was a Forth Bridge Painter.

Now I can say good morning to everyone, well maybe for you. I am having trouble getting a car from the people who do hospital runs for the elderly.
I have a cancer hospital appointment and still cannot get anyone to take me. so if I hire a cab firm it will cost me £32 there and £32 back so I am trying to find a way of getting to Guildford Royal Surrey Hospital.. If I cannot find away bu next tuesday I will have to cancel.

The only other way is three buses or two buses and a train but when I get to the other end that is a 1 hourly bus so if I miss it I have to wait and hour. so I will be about two hours travelling and the same coming back.

Mike may be home from the hospital on Monday, they are treating an infectioin one of his stitches he has been going to the doctors every day for a dressing but the hospital had told him they will treat it while he is in there., and try and clear it up.

The weather is not too good.

I had a lovely surprise when I got back from the pub last night. You see, it’s my birthday soon & my partner bought me a lovely present of a lawn mower - she managed to get it at a bargain price too. Well, I’m chuffed.

With my guidance, she is getting the hang of it. She was keen to tackle our un-kept garden immediately but I explained that cutting grass while its raining is not a good idea. Electricity & water are not very good bedfellows. Anyway, it was nearly dinner time & I didn’t want her to let the food overcook.

She was a bit disappointed that she will have to push the machine along - she had some strange idea that she would be able just to sit up on it somehow, like driving a tractor. Clearly, she has been watching too much of those flash gardening experts on TV. I explained how, if she wore an extra jumper or two, there would be no marks left on her tummy. Alternatively, just push using her hands.

She was very impressed when I showed her how the electric lead will rewind itself at the press of a button. Magic she thought, as she had a go - she forgot to unplug at the socket before pressing the button! She will have to replace the plug now because its damaged. It might be better if she calls in an electrician to fix the socket back on the wall. It looks dangerous hanging there with live wires protruding.

She’s happier these last few days because most of the celebrity visitors are departed for a while. The likes of Queen Elizabeth in Ireland & President Obama in the UK played havoc with her planned ‘soaps’ viewing - you see, we have only one TV. Well, I am retired & the amount she earns in the chicken plucking establishment in Norfolk isn’t great.

However, she is making loads of new foreign friends there & her Polish language learning is progressing. I’m only monolingual but I think it’s Polish - this was not on her agenda before starting work there. I'm fairly sure she was practicing it this very afternoon, her only day off work, when she realised she had forgotten to turn-on the oven.

Looks as if dinner will be late again this evening. The turkey from Norfolk is still cold & I will not be able to pop down to the local as early as I planned. I hope the darts team won’t be too upset by the delay.

No stopping you now Dermot, you're on a roll.

Rita, can you not book an ambulance to pick you up?

Hi Pauline. I am looking at a few ways I might get there ?but I have to wait till next tuesday due the the bank holiday to find out whether I can get help or I should say a lift to the hospital.
This is the first time this has happened to me
It has given me a headache trying to find a way. other wise I will have to phone the hospital and tell them. unless they can get me help I cannot attend that appointment.
I go way on 12th till the following saturday to Norfolk and I have the dentist the Monday I get back from Norfolk.If you saw my diary you would have a fit at the amount of appointments I have listed. dentist. Doctors, Hospital, and foot clinic and hairdresser.
