A bit cool here this morning, and some rain spots on my window. I am glad I did that washing yesterday.

Huia.

The time here is now 8.21 a.m.

Night everyone,
I'm back from my trip to the concert. Dire Traits was quite good.
Stephen, I'm sorry I'm not having my hair done! i'll wear my best smile instead just in case I meet F. Paws ;-)
Going to bed now! Up early for mass tomorrow!

Good morning friendlies,
looks like another nice day on the way. I have a little ironing to do and then I will have a lazy afternoon.
I got a new canary yesterday and he is gorgeous although 'his wife' doesn't seem all that impressed at the moment :-S He's singing away and she won't even look at him, lol. Hope they get their act together soon, she has been laying eggs for months and getting upset when we removed them so I thought she might like an OH :-D
Hope everyone is well and has a lovely day.
<3 <3

An arranged marriage, Cath? She might get used to the idea in time, I hope.

Huia.

Morning everyone

The sun is out and it looks like we are in for another lovely day.

Foggy perhaps George has his phone on and has dropped off the sleep. ? with all that excitment he had on his holidays

I have stacks of washing to do tomorrow, as I am spring cleaning in the Fall how about that then.?
I use to love Winter and the snow and walking the dog along the cliff in Caister, now I am not keen, I worry incase I fall over .and hate being cold. yet I love the beautiful views you get with snow on the tree tops and houses.
Our Paper shop has its cards out and has started getting Christmas gifts out and tins and jars of Chocolate.
I have even seen boxes of Christmas Crackers.on display in shops..

Stephen my husband use to catch salmon in Berivie in the basion and mother in law use to cook it for us for dinner or tea, you could not get it any fresher than that ?

time for my second cup of tea now. I want to see if I can get rid of some of the weeds in the front garden.

Downton Abbey is on to night and in the afternoon you can see last weeks if you missed it.
see you later

Rita

She's just playing hard to get, Cath!!

Huia, sometimes arranged marriages work out quite well............. well, that's what my Muslim friends say.

Looks like we're in for a nice day, it's very warm outside.

I worked in the garden for hours yesterday but I've still got loads to cut back. Might rearrange it all once I get the weeds out............ glutton for punishment!!

Pat, your best smile is better than a new hair do.

Stephen, it's supposed to be sunny the next few days, so you'll need to wear 2 pairs of sunglasses.

Foggy, are you Scottish? Is that your family tartan?

Rita, I hate the winter, we get too much snow here.



Edit: Linda, can I be first in the queue to send my ironing down the cyber hatch please? Got to get here before that Mo gets in.

It's raining down South :-P :-P :-P :-P
I got wet again!

Morning all.

Foggy..... I would love to go to the new forest......... so I hope George takes up your offer, how lucky to have a friend like Foggy :-D

Its very warm today , but when I woke up this morning I thought it was raining it was Pete cleaning the windows rinsing with the hose pipe !

Cath what a lovely story about your budgie LOL

Huia...you must be asleep now ..

Going for my bath now ....bit late this morning.

Morning all !

Marilyn, If my eyes were ok I'd be up the tree with my binoculars. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hope all are well.

I'm just slowly getting a bit more vision but my right eye is still just a blur. The sun is out here so it's the really dark glasses for me again today. :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

A burst water main means we are without fresh water at the kitchen tap.
Thankfully I do have a storage tank so I can draw on that for a while.
:-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

Time for mid morning coffee. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi Stevey..

Awhh I put the blinds down on the bathroom window .....what a shame .LOL

I'm supping a cuppa tea at the moment .

Fancy you having a storage tank ....now that's modern :-D

I've sent Pete out for supplies I need some fruit & Milk, I'm off out this afternoon at sons.

So going to wash my hair now to look a bit glam...if that's possible ..LOL

Marilyn,

I specifically added a storage tank to the system.......everyone seems to throw them out now......if ever the pipes underground were to freeze or burst then I could go for a couple of days or more on my stored water.

The mains has burst on the main road so my storage tank has proved it's worth.

Belts and braces....that's me :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Stevey...

I bet you could survive in any catastrophe...being a well trained service man ;-)

Love a brave man ......mine catches spiders for me !! LOL

Really sunny now , and I went as far as the garden to peep at my weeds ..................................................................................Then came back indoors again couldn't face them

:-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Afternoon all
Getting a bit grey here after a nice morning, got more washing dry, ready to iron.
Been to the shops for coffe milk & bread. Looked for new quilt cover set for the new bedroom but didn't have the right colour.
Friends came for coffee and mince pie !! Yes really. Not even finished with summer yet.
Have had dinner with hubby before he went to work we had duck and veg, very nice too.
Doing some research for a friend. See how I get on later.
I made 15 Christmas cards last night, quite pleased with them hubby said they looked good.

Have a nice afternoon

Linda :-) <3

Helo all

Rita there is a spray you can buy that stops spiders coming in

Had a quiet day today. Son has just got back from friends, he was house sitting for a couple of days while they were away, looking after their pets.

OH and I went out for an indian last night, yummy

<3

Evening all,

Just got in from a cracking day at Burley in the new forest, had a wicked cream tea there, YUMMY :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Pauline, the old boy says hes English, but from his parents back they are all Jocks,..LOL and I believe that is his family tartan.

Rita, I wasn't asleep, down the pub and forgot to charge the blinking thing, good job I checked my emails.

Hope everyone has had a brilliant day

George :-D :-D :-D

Afternoon all,
Had my lazy day :-D
The Canaries are getting along well now, she's obviously decided he's handsome after all, lol.
Clouded over now but still very warm, washing all dry and put away. I'm not ironing anything more before we go so OH will be doing the shirts he decided to put in the basket today ;-) That will teach him.
Can't believe I'm off work now till the 18th October!!!! Brilliant.
Love to all the friendlies.

Cath xx

Have a lovely break from work Cath, and enjoy it. :-) :-) :-)

George :-D

George I guessed you would find Foggy email and go, you had a lovely day for it.
Yvonne I didnt know you could buy a spray to get rid of spiders, thing is I dont like tham but I think it is wrong to killl them,

we always had storage tanks because of fear of frozen pipes or burst water mains. till we moved to Ealing and John got into the loft and found a water tank it had old socks in it. I think the man must have done his washing Lol, . he was an insurance broker who we brought the house off. a victorian lovely house you could walk under the floor boards. This man blocked all the chimneys up because of dust and soot the man a few doors from me told me not to light a fire incase the chimney was blocked and it was, he had nails in the windows incase anyone broke in. we had to laugh as he dealt in insurance.that was the best house I ever had. my husband installed central heating in the house,
I have been busy this morning I weeded the garden it looks nice and tidy now. ( it is like a postage stamp in size ) but it is hard work to weed.at my age.
Rita

Hi Rita,

Yep, got his email, (cheeky B****r) ..LOL.

Gardens do take some looking after, so I know what you mean, still its worth it when it looks nice. :-) :-) :-)

George :-) :-)

Hello George,

Did you tell everyone that you had three scones and cream.. lolol
It was a good day mate. plenty of laughs.

Good evening ladies and Stephen,
Pauline $(*-*)$, yes that is my family tartan, but I was born in England, so English.
