Morning to all,
A bit dull and cloudy here but supposed to get better later. I'm off to library to try and track down some records this morning.
Hope everyone has a good day,
(((((((hugs))))))) and <3 <3 <3 for Jean,

A wee chuckle for the day !

I'm a Senior Citizen

I'm very good at telling stories......over and over again.

I'm the life and soul of the party.....even when it lasts as long as 8pm

I'm the first one to find the toilet wherever I go

I'm awake at least three hours before my body allows me to get up

I'm usually interested in getting home before I get to where I'm going

I'm anti everything, anti-smoking, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory

I'm wrinkled saggy and lumpy- and that's just my left leg

I keep in touch with my friends- through the Obituary Column

I'm smiling all the time-because I can't hear what you're saying

I'm a walking storeroom of knowledge- I've just lost the key to open it.


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Stephen thats not me.

my Estate Manager goes out and forgets to take her flat keys she must have asked me 10 times in the last year for help. I let her in to the lobby by safety phone and she calls the Anchor call for the code to open the cupboard that holds her key.
If she has a small window open she uses my window key to open her big window, and gets in that way. we are geared into safety here.

she is young I am old and up till now have not left my key in doors. maybe it is because I have a little notice i put on the inside of my flat door which has two words.
Keys and Windows. so I remember to make sure I have the keys and that all windows are closed.
lets hope now I have told you I dont lock myself out.

Thinking of you Jean.

Love Rita

Apparently, there has never been a left-handed Pope.

Its all gone quiet here on friendly where are you all ??????

I am here Marilyn. I went shopping the first time this week I had to buy some food I brought a lot down from Norfolk with me when I came back last week. the food was so cheap up there compared to here in Surrey. about half the price.

I thought arms forces day was yesterday they had alot going on for that.

Have your posts gone down. mine havd I only have 3003 on before today I had 3028, I wonder why.


I have just brought a passed you driving test card for my granddaughter I thought I would s end her that and put some money in the envelope .
weather not too nice here it is so overcast but it is warm.

Rita

Hello everyone

Baked a cake this afternoon for fil, it's his birthday tomorrow. We are going out for Sunday lunch.


<3 to Jean

Rita.

It has been on all week today it was for the old retired Forces ,and the Cadets did a march on the Hoe, also the Cadets had a field gun race , everything was in miniature !! LOL

I forgot to mention about your grand daughter Rita ,,,,if she comes to Plymouth to study , I'll have to keep an eye on her, make sure she is safe, maybe be a substitute
grandma !! :-D

Hi Yvonne .....What patience making a cake .....I buy mine now I'm so lazy. :-S

Its still a bit overcast here but not raining !!

Stevey ....Paying it safe was Brill !! I'm going to the doctors too if Pete goes ,,LOL

It is quiet on here even the threads are quiet. nothing new seems to be on. It is lovely and sunny and I had to pull my curtains across the windows as the sun got into my eyes and I could barely see.but I am not complaining. could do with more of this

I wonder what the others are up too.

Rita

Rita ,

I reckon they have ALL gone on holiday ....without telling us ..LOL

If so that was a mean thing to do.
I am not speaking to them again Lol

Rita


P S they could all be looking at Tennis.

Good afternoon All.

Just caught up with all the posts today.

Well who said weekends were for leisure.

Up early and went to get the shopping, and dragged it back in a shopping trolley. :-(

Went for a very slow walk with K. and the dog, got a few things posted.

Lunch. Then stood ironing for a couple of hours, washed my hair ready for work tomorrow. All that faffing about blow drying it. I am having it trimmed up again on Wednesday.

Done a few more bit and bobs, then looking forward to cooking dinner. :-P

We have a very good system K. and I. I dont ask him to cook, and he dont ask me to clean the cooker, shoes, or stick my hand down the loo to clean it. It seems to work. :-)

Hope everyone is well. See ya all later.

Awhh Maddie ,

You got one like I have ......mind you I have NEVER stuck my hand down the loo ,but Pete has ...LOL

Going out for dinner tomorrow at my Sons & DIL he cooks the best Sunday roast ever ,
All I do is take the wine down ....easy peasy ..LOL :-D

Going to look up the telly now for tonight viewing .....

Evening folks,
well, didn't I get a surprise at the records library this morning, lol,lol,lol.
My great grandparents had 13 children between 1888 and 1904 and silly old me thought they married sometime around 1887-1888. Oh no, they waited until 1915 ;-) Even the librarian had a job to suppress a smile.
Had a gret deal of success this morning and that was the icing on the cake, been looking for that marriage for ages and was all but ready to give up. Also found my 'invisible Grandads' DOB.
Going to put info on my tree tonight so might not be back, hope everyone is well and has a good evening,
Special thoughts to Jean,

Cath xx

Maddie I have just Googled Charles Chance and shows up 96 of them ....so give me a clue as to the right one ..Tut Tut ...I got better things to do ....but curious who your swooning over :-S

I think it's the one who looks like Homer Simpson.

Marilyn, I think Maddie means Charles Dance, he of film star fame. lol

It's been a beautiful day here.
Tomorrow is my grandaughters christening up in Scotland. I shall be thinking about them at 11.00 a.m when the service is happening.

Oooh Cath, you lucky girl, finding out all that info on the family skeletons in the closet.

Can you write 50 words without using a single one twice, even those like "the" or "and"?. It isn't easy.

Example:-

While holidaying, try eating locally prepared food. Many visitors find huge relief from kitchen duties, enjoying new tastes and delicious foreign ingredients.

Locals need regular tourist income. They have to manage finances for the whole year on what is earned during summer seasons.

Holidays are such fun.

Oh Maddie ....are you kidding , he's ancient 64yrs...

He's was born a Walter Charles dance.....hmmm can see why he dropped the Walter bit .. :-S

Mo we have had awful weather here , looks like you had all the sun, now give it to me for tomorrow will you please because I'm going to hibernate if this bloody weather continues....
:-S

Dermot I don't write any more ...how sad is that ?
Computer has taken over all correspondence, and do you know I won a prize in class when I was 13yrs for handwriting...was awarded.Black beauty book, I was so chuffed . :-D

Right thats me done for the day, going to go curl up with a good book now and chill out until bedtime.
Sleep well all,
<3
