I think hitchiking is dangerous Dermot.
Cannot wait to find out what your plant is Rita :-)

No body answered my question yesterday about Google if they had a black strip across there where they tell you things like Maps. webs etc. I still have mine only thing I can read is Web my son reconds he has the normal strip.
If no one else has this I will have to contact them to find out why mine is affected.


Rita

I will let you know the outcome of that plant Agatha.

Do you mean a black strip with maps etc written on it Rita

Morning, just popping in before I go out to visit my aunt. I've got my son off to the day centre and watered the tubs........... so I'm ready to go.

Rita, I've just had a look and my Google is the same as yours, must be a new thing.

Agatha, I think that's the bit Rita's talking about.

LOL at your unknown plant............ we could run a book on it, but you'd have to show us a photo first.

Marilyn, we don't pick up hitch-hikers either but it's a different world to when we were young.

Dermot, I used to thumb quite a bit when I was young but it seemed safer then - and I was never on my own either.

Yes thats the bit I was speaking about. it has images, videos maps shopping things like that under the black strip. I emailed my son he said his was not like that but his friend next to him in the office was. so itappears some of have this others dont. ? I wonmder why that is ? perhaps we will get 3 D glasses issued so we can read the writing underneath.

I have never hitchhiked..when I was in the land army we got many ask us if we needed a lift but none of us took the chance. yet when my husband was alive and we saw someone in uniform with a board asking for a lift to a certain place he always stopped and gave them alift.until we had the children, then we didnt have room.

Rita

Up date on the black strip across Google page, it is an experiment they are doing. it is suppose to seperate the page so you have a clearer understanding. its not working for me.

They have had some complaints and there is a way of getting rid of it and going back to normal but it appears it is a lot of trouble.
so lets hope they find people dont like it and go back to as it was before they did this.

Rita

yes rita i also have a black stip across google

yes marilyn it did work

been for a nice walk in east london cemetery today
thay are changeing it all the time in there

now if you remember on the 4th july on channel 4 to watch disspatches
aparently it all about were i live so a must what for me lol

Shelley you will have to give me a reminder on that day so I can watch the programme

Did you take more photos of the graves ?

I am looking for graves in Portsmouth cemetary hoping I might find my Great Uncle Walter Lee. I would email them but have no idea when he died it was after 1911 he was still alive then.

I have not added any of the other family to my tree yet. I dont seem to get the time at the moment

I have spent to day moaning about my aches and pains not to anyone only to myself. one straighjacket needed.

did anyone watch the one show where they showed you the hulk ships that were used as prisions . my god it was horrendious. little children died on that ages 8 and 9 years old. given 12 years for theft, yet some of those in jail today live the life of riley.

Thank goodness that does not happen in this day and age.

Rita

Good morning, looks like everyone is sleeping late this morning, lol.

Simple breakfast today,
Cereal or fruit.
Toast, toasted bagels or waffles.
Scrambled eggs.
Tea, coffee or juice.

We have lovely sunshine here and it is quite warm, lots of work to be done in the garden with the help??? of Scarlett.

Hope you all have a good day.
Take care and stay safe.

:-) :-) :-)

Morning all,
looks like it's going to be another beautiful day :-D
Hope everyone is well.
I expect to be worn out by lunchtime as I'm taking mother shopping this morning and have two youngest grandchildren as well.
Jean the two horses in the field next to our house were racing up and down in the night making all kinds of noise, very unusual as we don;t hear them at all most of the time. Hope they are alright.
Not like Stephen to be on the missing list :-S
Have a good day whatever you're up to :-D :-D :-D

Cath xx

It was a sad thing for all those having to serve their sentences on the Hulk ships. and little children like that all those years for a small theift they may have been starving. ?
I feel ashamed of what was done to them I am pleased we have advanced now and they do not suffer like that.
but in saying that some of these people need to be given a rough sentence because we have gone from the curel side to the easy side now adays.

Hope everyone had a good day. it looks nice outside. I am going to have a shower and wash my hair thenh get sown to doing some real housework. had just 2 hours sleep last night,


Rita

Morning all
Lovelyhere this morning. We have already been for a walk round the lake with son's dog. He is only here for the day, they will pick him up tonight.
More knitting done yesterday, not much else.

Catch up again later.

Linda :-) <3

Morning All !

I've been missing you all :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Lots to do for my my daughter so decided to stay in Stirling rather than travel each day.

Heading off soon.......back to the grindstone :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Jean......really glad to see you back <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Catch up with you all later tonight ......all going well ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Good Morning Everyone, I'm off to the caravan this morning, Oscar's excited, he's crying at the door, ready to go, I'm hoping to get their before the men's semi finals start.
Hope you soon feel better Rita, and get a good night sleep tonight.
Have a great weekend everyone
<3

Morning All,

Oh Agatha.....poor little Oscar wants to be taken on holiday ..LOL
hope you enjoy your stay at the caravan..

STEVEY ...Your ALIVE ...!!!!!!!
Thank goodness for that ,was getting worried though, almost got my nurses outfit for you to nurse you back on thread ....TOO LATE NOW :-P

Its really gorgeous today just like yesterday ......going to see my dad today.

Shelly you will have to remind me as well about that program ....I'm just as bad as Rita.

Bath time...

Hope you have good weather at the caravan Agatha, it's not very warm here - sunny but a bit nippy.

Cath, it might have been a good idea to take a couple of headache tablets before you go out......... might help you to cope with your day. :-D

I think Mo must have gone on that cruise without me, I was looking forward to it as well. :-)

Marilyn, I bet you've upset Stephen, if he'd known you were going to put your nurses uniform on for him - he'd have pretended to be ill............ nice to have him back though.

The penalty for bigamy is two mothers-in-law.

Google is starting a form of Facebook up on their net. wonder how that will do ?

Got my tickets for my holiday to Isle of wight, we leave at .9, 31 on Saturday morning in a weeks time.but we have been told about over doing the luggage it must weigh no more than 18kg/40lbs I dont now how I am going to weigh mine I only have bathroom scales.. my sister is coming to stay overnight with me.and we get the coach at Woking station. guess where we get the main coach near my sister in Hampstead for the M l. it is useful for me coming back, as they bring me back to Woking station and my local bus stops at the same stop.


Rita

Hello all
