Wow Dermot I could actually read that without too much effort!!

Hubby still poorly, no energy and slept a lot through the day, as the coughing is keeping him awake at night.

Managed to cut back more shrubs in the garden.

Been doing some research.

Hello all friends,

A Romany Good night Prayer for you.
May you rest peacefully,
sleep soundly
and wake refreshed tomorrow.

Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

"John said that he received a pay-rise today which pleased him greatly. To celebrate, he spent £25.10 for a pair of gloves for his beloved.

Unfortunately, there were too small & he will have to exchange them on Monday afternoon. He needs the receipt as proof of purchase".

For a bit of fun, read the above simple item to any younger family member & then ask them to repeat it as accurately as possible. Sounds easy - but it is not so. This just tests the youngster's power of listening & memory retention - which the experts say is not too good these days.

Morning All !

Hope all are well . :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Linda, Hubby needs a couple of days off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dermot.....Listening !
I was very firm with my children about listening.
I would put the message to them that perhaps one day when they were told information someones live could depend on getting it right
My daughter still goes on about how I stopped her going to a Guide Weekend Camp because she had got information wrong.
And I now hear her saying things to her own children that I said to her. So my hard work must have sunk in.

Hoping for good weather today. I feel up to cutting the grass around my property. Probably wont do a very good job but I'll give it a go

;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Have a good day ya all !

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

Morning everyone
Well Hubby is on his way to the airport. He is just a little anxious. Not sure what to expect as he has worked there for nearly 40 years. He knows there will be a presentation, top bosses are rumoured to be coming. I asked if it might be the Queen LOL.
Definately the end of an era.
Washing is on. the weather is forecast for good. Hot and sunny here up to 29C. I have bulbs to plant and pansies to get my winter flowers under way, but the geraniums are still going strong. So I will leave them in place for a while.

Have a lovely day everyone

Linda :-) <3

Morning All.

Linda...... as hubby got Bronchitis ? it sounds like he has some sort of inflammation in his chest with that cough, not nice for him . he'll have to visit the docs as it might go on for several weeks.......poor dear...have you got a Humidifier ? as that helps in the bedroom at night .

I went to the Eye Infirmary yesterday........well Step Mother's has got no worse than the last time, so I asked the consultant if she was partially blind and her answer was NO.....so even though she tells me she cant see I'll have to pass that off with a smile
;-).

Awhh Stevey....fancy not letting daughter go to her guides weekend

:-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S I bet you were the worlds worst Dad ,I bet you wished you had let her go ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hi to Jean........hows Scarlet these days ?

I got doctors appointment this morning ,so getting a crack on .....

Morning everyone,
sun is shining and its going to be a cracking day again today.

Not to good today, legs are hurting, think I did a bit too much walking without my stick yesterday, paying for it now, but hey ho there you go.

Hope everyone is having a great time whit all this lovely weather.
Off to do my shopping at 11, otherwise I will starve :-D :-D .

George :-)

Hi George,

I did warn you yesterday.
Will catch you when I get back, probably Sunday/Monday depending.

Good Morning ladies and Stephen, I trust you are all basking in this lovely weather.
Don't get sun burnt, like someone who shall remain nameless..LOLOL.

Foggy

Hi Foggy.

You off Again....?

Where too ......?

Evening All !

I must have done an excellent job of cutting the grass......a bus load of tourists stopped and asked if they could play bowls ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

The smell of fresh cut grass is magic :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I think I deserve a BIG glass of Irn-Bru (and perhaps a cigar later) :-D :-D :-D

Evening everyone
Still very warm here.
Managed to fill about 9 pots with bulbs and topped off with pansies. I also repotted a dicentra(Bleeding Heart) and an azelia in new compost to give them a chance through the winter.

The washing is dry waiting to be ironed, maybe later.

I did a spring clean in the lounge and moved all the furniture round, hubby will think he is in a different house eh?

He's on his way home, but I guess the traffic is heavy with everyone going away while the weather is good.

Linda :-) <3

Useless Information but worth a wee laugh


SPORRAN
(Gaelic for nut pouch). Most Scotsmen keep money in their sporran because if robbed at least they enjoy the experience.!!!!!!!!!!!

KILT
If a Highlander was to take this off you'd be shocked!
It would stretch twenty four feet ... the kilt that is !!!!!!!!!!

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

Hi evereyone,

I hope the sunshine is still around when I go away!

Evening all,

Evening George,

Yes ! I do have a kilt and wear it frequently. My Clan is Gordon.

Hi All,

I have just been shopping....food shopping.

Got friends coming on Sunday so making a lasagne & trifle.

My grandson is on the Dartmoor camping with the Army Cadets, how lucky is he with this weather of ours .......he's so excited. now he wants to be a Marine and looks up to any Marine that he talks to . so Stevey he would love to be in conversation with you . you got any tips for him ?

:-)

Going to make a cuppa now.....

Morning everyone, hope you had a peaceful night.
Stephen, hope your eye problem is getting better,
Marilyn, Scarlett is fine thanks, a real little monkey at times lol.

Breakfast??
Cereal or fruit,
Hot rolls, bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes.
Tea or coffee. Help yourselves.

Hope you all have a good weekend, enjoy whatever you do.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Morning All !

Jean, Up and about early as usual. Nice breakfast to give me a kick start.
My eyes are coming along slowly. Still use the dark glasses a lot. Back to hospital next Friday. Very little site in my right eye, but I expected that as the years have gone on.
Thinking of a way to strap a pair of binoculars to my head. ROFL ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Marilyn, Your Gransdson and the Marines. Will send an email. Too much info for on here.
The first step though would be to get him to join a Marine Cadet Detachment of the Sea Cadets. There will be one near where he lives, I'm sure. That's how I started my lad of at the age of 12.

It's raining cats and dogs here. Glad I cut the grass yesterday :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Have a good day ya all !

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

Morning all, it's not raining here............ yet!! It's warm but very dull and it looks like the rain is on it's way.

Guess who I'm sitting here waiting for................ The Plumber!!!

Rita sent me an email to say she's having trouble getting on here again. Maybe her son will be over at the weekend to help her sort it out again.



Edit: Lovely breakfast Jean.

Stephen, I haven't read all that tree yet but you're very lucky that someone has already done so much work on that line............... saves you a lot of work.
