Morning all
Sorry I haven't added for a few days. Not much to tell but a bit stressful and spent some time with my daughter as she wasn't too well. But she is OK now.
Still taking the tablets for the dizziness, must go back to Dr and see what he says.
Need tooth taking out appointment in 3 weeks to decide what they suggest as so little left not much to pull on!!! Why didn't it all fall out together eh?
Been for a walk to get hubby's paper, so done some exercise before it gets too hot. Looking good for today.
List of stuff to do, including grass cutting and ironing so must away.

Hope everyone is well.

Special thoughts for Jean oooooooooooooo Jean ooooooooo


Linda :-) <3

Morning everyone. George your zimmer frame is extra special then. it is a good job your being collected from the station hope you have a good time in Paddington. I lived not far from there grew up in Willesden, and had family in Paddingtong.

Stephen that was interesting. about the Scottish flag. of course your not proud of being a true Scot my Grandmother would have made a terrible fuss of you.
do you reconize any of the names on my Research in Scotlands part ?
thats where the family came from. I have a copy of the baptisim records of three x Great Grandfather James McCallum his father my four times Great Grandfather had all five of his sons baptised on the same day he had booked a block booking for that. He had a farm so I suppose he was busy havesting and doing what farmers do.lol

Nice day today hope you all have agreat weekend.

Hi everyone,
Just popping to say hello then off to the launderette.
It's warm and sunny
:-)

I was looking forward to seeing the Duchess of York at today's wedding.

Another disappointment. Her girls did her proud though. Good on them!

I looked at the news channel to see what people were wearing.
Some of the hats were very strange and big. :-(
I wouldn't want to have been sat behind some of the big hats becuase I wouldn't have been able to have seen anything.!

Good Evening All.

Hurrah, I have taken 30 minutes to get onto Friendly. What is happening again?

We got off and out early this morning, and schlepped around Oxford Street, Sales everywhere. Needless to say, we came home empty handed.

Son and new GF were up there, separate to us, and he came home with a load of stuff from Primark. Because he is tall and slim, he can wear anything straight off the peg. So he got some good bargains.

Hope George got to Paddington ok. The only reason we ever go there is to catch the train to Devon/Somerset. Now that is a journey and a half. :-P

Wish you better Linda. Do go back to the Docs if all is not well. There is more than one medication for each illness. Perhaps you have not found the tablet that suits you best.

0000000000000000000000000 for Jean.

Hope everyone is well and happy.

See ya later.

:-)

Evening No One !

Everyone seems to have gone AWOL :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Fantastic weather her today again :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Rita......I have been to all the place your Ancestors hail from. The area known as Monzie is particularly lovely. Kenmore is also beautiful.

Linda.......Get well soon <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Gonna have coffee and a nice relax.......see you tomorrow ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hi Stephen!
I've been doing some ironing.
The bits of Zara's wedding on the news programme.
It's been warm and sunny down south. I went out without a coat on :-)

Stephen
my four times great Grandfather also named James McCallum has this written on the Births form .
This space is approprated to Mr James McCallum Farmer of Auchnauld 2nd May 1802 a son born to James McCallum and Janet McCallum wife
Auchnault.
then it goes on
2nd May 1802 a son named John.
7th January 1805 a son Petter
24th February 1810 a son Duncan
23rd March a 1814 a son James ( this is my three times GT Grandfather )
24th February 1816 a daughter Jane( called Jessie )

12th January 1818 a daughter Janet.

I wonder if that farm is still there ? it seemed strange to have them written down all together.

John is the one I said was a Pipe Major 2nd Battalion of The Royal Scots and played at Edinburgh Castle which you can see on the website.

I have also got Jessies death certificate she died at Canon bridge R & C
I have got all their wedding only my Gt Grandfather James who Married Margaret Graham I have not found

Just thought I would tell you about the scottish side of the family. they were auctioneers as well and had a place in Dingwall which a cousin told me was sold and pulled down and a supermarket built on the ground.

I am off to bed now. I was doing some research and working on McCallums files.

Rita

Morning All !

Dull and overcast today :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

It's daughters 12th Wedding Anniversary today.......so all out for a family lunch in Stirling. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
How quickly the years have flown, seems like only days since I walked my wee lass down the Isle of the lovely Highland Church in Blair Atholl.
When we left the Church the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band led the guests up the driveway to magnificent Blair Castle for the reception meal.
Then we had a Ceilidh until the wee small hours in the Castle Ballroom.
On the Sunday we had a Barbeque for the whole village.
What I'd give to have those days again. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well, keep safe , keep smiling
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

AN EARLY MORNING LAUGH !!!!!!!!!!


REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.

He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

Helloooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.

So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Helllooooo? It's been a year I told him.

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.

He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

First off Happy Annversary to your daughter and her husband hope they have a really lovely day.

secondly I thought that was laugh of the day was so funny. because if you really listerned to what some of these sales people tell you, you could turn it to your advantage.

Now back to baiscs happy day everyone weather not too bad at the moment hope you all have good weather whereever you are today.

My daughter and my son in law are coming over this morning for a couple of hours. I have not seen them since we went to Norfolk three maybe four weeks ago ? they have been away in Dorset for 8 days.
I have brought her a bunch of Gladioli she loves them. they did so much for me while we were on holiday in Norfolk so I thought I would show her how much I appreciated what they did.

My son in law still looks very frail it is now 14 months since his big operation and he has done so well. they got married in 1971 on 4th september so they will be celebrating their wedding anniversary in a few weeks time.

I am going to have some toast now for my breakfast. have a good day everyone.

Love Rita

Hi Stephen and Rita,
Rita hope you have a nice morning with your daughter and son in law.

Stephen happy anniversary to your daugher and son in law.
Enjoy the family lunch.

I've just booked a mini break to Scotland.It's with Lochs and Glens. I can't remember where I'm staying but there's a trip to Edinburgh. I tried doing it over the net but i messed up my card number so I had to phone up the company and I spoke to this Scots lass.I could just about understand her. Mind you she most probably thought I spoke funny as well. :-)

Hi all, hope you all have lovely weather, it's quite nice here but not as hot as yesterday.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Stephen's daughter and son-in-law, hope you all have a lovely day. Stephen if you could go back to the time your daughter was married........ you wouldn't have your lovely little girls.

LOL at Pat going out without a coat.................. it must have been hot.

We've got an air show here today so it'll be very noisy.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for Jean.
