Good Morning All.

Hope everyone slept well.

Linda hope your parents continue to improve. Marilyn hope the back feels better today.

Happy Birthday Pat.

Gonna make you all feel guilty now, just off for my 5 mile run. ;-) ;-)

Have a good day all, see you later.

Gonna be wet here again. :-P

Happy Birthday Pat, they say Birthdays are good for you, the more you have the longer you live.
Hope everyone has a good day, I'm back to he nurse at 12.30 with the blood pressure machine that does'nt work.


We get a village magazine here, called DODDINGTON'S DOING'S, and in it this month it gives exercise advice and this is what it says.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can.
Try to reach a full minute then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10lb potato bags.

Then try 50lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a minute.

After you feel confident at that level, you can start putting a potato in each bag.

:-D

Morning all, hope you had a peaceful night.

Am late this morning so a very quick breakfast.

Cereal, Tea and toast.

Hope everyone who has been feeling poorly is getting better.
Have a lovely day Pat, hope you get pampered.

Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Make sure you pamper yourself today Pat, it's the only time in your life you'll be that age.

Hope you're feeling a bit better today Marilyn.

Linda, did you actually go to bed? Hope you have a lovely day out.

Mo, thanks for the photo............... what lovely babies, you must be so proud. I think it's a bit greedy having 2 though, you should really give one to me............ I'll have Lilly - she's just at a nice age now.

Stephen, if Marilyn isn't any better - your services may be required.

************* HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT **********

Have a great day...... xx

I tried to do some lovely designs like flowers for you but GR wont let me :-S

It still lets you use some of the symbols Marilyn......... but only the ones you can see on the keyboard. :-( :-(

I'm feeling a little better today, although the pain is still in my side.
Awwh Thanks for all your get well wishes ,,,much appreciated

I'm sure Fluffy Paws would have sorted it out by now :-S

Mo....I'm sure we would all get on fine if we all met, Linda is the only one I've met and I definitely have her as a neighbour or friend. ;-)
I know I would get on with Stevey Boy :-D

Pauline & Shelly I have a soft spot for as I've known them for so long now,

But you ALL are just great to know...Mo I'm very fond of London Gals as I have lived in London most of my life I just love their sense of humour and the blasé of it .

So All I say is we are all Cyber friends and that's something we all NEED as we wouldn't be here now talking to each-other would we ?

;-)

Oh I've gone a bit serious haven't I ..LOL

Now have a great day everyone ...I'm going to be very busy here as I have company, 6 for a meal tonight.
Thank god I have tablets to take to ease my pain :-S

Back later sometime.

'Fluffy Paws' is on the way ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

TABLETS DUMPED :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Marilyn,

'Fluffy Paws' has been searching for nearly an hour.

Are you playing Hard to Get ? ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

The world has never had so much wealth, power & ability to solve the many global problems of humankind.

These are man-made problems - hunger, disease, disasters, wars & all the sufferings that flow from such conflicts. They are exacerbated because of the primitive, baser urges of both individuals & groups with their greed, selfishness, vice & depravity of the spirit.

The uncaring, irresponsible, rich & powerful are driven by ambitions to retain & extend their wealth, power & control over sources of minerals, raw materials & especially the people.

Human suffering is not an accident. It is the result of the few, the oligarchy, dominating the many by manipulating political power for their own ends & disguising their motives as being in the national interest & national security. That's a laugh!

We are really ignorant of the causes of poverty & world hunger despite the power of global media. It is not always the lack of resources & food but the inequality in their distribution which causes most poverty.

When violence & injustice are allowed to grow unchecked, as evidenced in Libya for example, then tyrants & genocidal leaders emerge ending hopes of peace resulting in mayhem & slaughter.

YES ..... :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your birthday wishes
:-D :-D
I'm enjoying my day so far.
Stephen perhaps Fluffy Paws should have a Sat Nav :-)

Dermot.

I totally agree with you.....this world is a mess.

All money's that is collected NEVER seem to go to the right people.

Take this Ugandan President ( Musseveni) got his £30 million JET on money given to his country from UK & European Union. Although I did read that he received this money under the labour government between 2008-9
That cant be right !!!!!!! hope this government sees sense and stops this money from going into the wrong hands, the poor MUST be fed & clothed but how can we do that ... without going into the wrong hands ??????

you are so right Dermot and Marilyn.
I often wonder why other countries never try to get these dictators like mugabe out, they seem to get away with everything, they are just as bad as saddam, but they are left alone

Afternoon all

Had problems getting on here past couple of days, kept getting error messages

Happy Birthday Pat, hope you are enjoying your day <3

Hope everyone is feeling better today

Dog had her ear sorted out on Monday at the vets, got drops to put in twice a day and a check up on Saturday.

There's a lunar eclipse this evening, hope to see that if its not cloudy

<3

WATER,

What a lot of problems would be solved if many of the 'underdeveloped,'
Nations had access to that.

Desalination Plants to convert Sea Water to Fresh Water built around the Coastlines and the water pumped to where it is needed.

They can pump Oil from Alaska for the greedy West. Why not water to the thirsty Nations?..

BECAUSE then they would become stronger and not need to rely on the help of others. The tables would soon turn in their favour.

GREED........POWER........The curse of Humankind.

Off the Soapbox.

Marilyn,
