Stephen that's really good, I agree with every word of it............ especially the menopause bit.......... :-D :-D

Because of the menopause, I discovered what road-rage was........... as well as queue-rage, husband-rage and son-rage. HRT saved me from going to prison for murder!!

Dermot, you're mad................ but that's one of your best character traits.......... :-D :-D

Morning my lovelies..

Have I been missed ????

Stevey.........I think you speak for every ex service man & police across the boarder.
On a lighter note always wanted to tap a young lad on the shoulders and tell him he's got his cap on back to front and pull his trousers up ....them that's on their hips !!

My sisters grandson is going to fight this stupid war in Afghanistan in November....all of 19yrs !! ...and a baby on the way , he's not long been a baby himself, thats the wedding I'm going to on Monday .

Anyway nothing will change these wars as the Arabs live a life totally different life than the rest of the world and will never ever change...... Leave them alone I say !!

Now just to say I had a great time in North Devon , went to see my friend camping yesterday and had a right old giggle ....plenty of wine ,but made me feel a bit on the ill side , my fault had one too many glasses..LOL I'm OK now rehydrated myself before I went to bed last night.

Its a miserable day here and I have loads of washing to do, so I'm still going to do it as I do have a dryer, and Pete will be running around without underpants on ..LOL

Speak later ....

morning everyone,
glad you had a nice time in North Devon Marilyn :-)
I enjoyed reading your thread Stephen.
It's a bit grey here. Done my shopping. Going to watch the golf and read. The weather isn't that brilliant at Sandwich either.
I also got the local paper. A woman got murdered round the corner from me. I think it was a domestic.

Morning all
Heaving down here so I've just been out and moved all the pots from the porch into the open so they get some good old rain on them. As for me got a bit damp in the process too.
No washing here today, I can always do the ironing from yesterday !!!
Had a lovely meal last night. The friends went home around 11:00 so not too late.
Will be reading and knitting again me thinks. Too wet to do anything else

Have a good day all and keep dry

Linda :o) XxX

Hello everyone, think the weather has spoiled the weekend for most people, am very glad I decided not to go on the roads, dont like my horses standing wet all night.
Afternoon tea for anyone who is around,
an assortment of sandwiches, scones with strawberry jam and fresh cream,
a fruit cake and of course cups of tea,
May you all enjoy what is left of the weekend, weather permitting,
Stephen why not take a break, you have a good excuse with the rain.
Hope everyone is well.

Hello Friendly threaders, I'm back from the caravan, it was lovely weather Friday, It rained saturday until teatime then it came out nice and today was wet.
The caravan next door still has not been sold, they usually sell quickly, it must be the weather putting people off.
There is dog show on camp in a couple of weeks, its a talent show, so I am going to make Oscar practice his singing, he only sings to the theme tunes of Eastenders and Coronation Street, I wish he had a bigger selection to choose from.
Glad you had a nice holiday marilyn, and I hope everyone else is OK.

Hi Rita is back. I cam back last night very tired.

we had a lovely Hotel, all Polish Waitresses and two Waitors from Afganistan I could not find fault with their work they were so nice and worked so hard. we had fantastic meals. and entertainment every night mostly singers. the last night we had a young man who sang Country and Westen and taught Line dancing. he was great we also had two nights of Scott Taylor one of the orignal Tremolos of the late 60.s

We met some nice people two who came from Scotland just outside of Glasgow he took photos of my sister and me. they were really nice people. we also met some people from Havering in Cambridge/norfolk boarders they shared our table and stayed with us in the evening when we saw the shows. she works at Addenbrook hospital.

The weather was lovely one half day when it rained and another day when it was windy.
we went all over the island and still did not see all we wanted to. They have a Donkey Santary a farmer who owned a big farm and farm house had no family and he left it to the Donkeys, what a lovely thing to do., we didnt get a chance to see them. but want to spend a few days over there to see the things we didnt have the time to see on this trip. we didnt go to the Castle or Osbourne House.
I will tell you the story of our Journey there and back next time. it was a night mare.


PS

Jean I went to eat at a place where they played Gypsy music and took photos of four Vardas two for children and two adults ones they were painted red and white they were really beauitiful. This was in a little village named Godshill.

I forgot to say. The Craig brothers were in prison over there as well all know. . did you know this ? they brought a bunglaow for their mother near the prison it has a plaque up over the door. we had to laugh our guide who lives there said she could stand on the back step and wave to them. lol
They wanted her to be near to them.; it was a lovely little Bungalow someone asked why would she want to live there on her own ? |I said perhaps the neighbours in London made it hard for her living where they had committed crimes.
