Afternoon all.

Ah, a few of our lost souls have returned, just as well we've kept your seats warm. Better get some tracking devices fitted in case any of you get lost again.

We've got sunshine today and no rain.......... just a gale force 9.

Shelly, I've had no problems with Firefox.

Hope you're OK after your jab Rita.

Good to know you're feeling better now George.

Happy Birthday to Linda's FIL. Hope you all have a lovely day.

Rita Report 5 Oct 2011 15:29

George I dont faint with injecttions I am so use to them now.
Pauline the injection was for flu only this time not a combined one with the swine flu.
but this should give my friends on here a laugh.

five men sitting on chairs facing five elderly women all waiting to go in for our flu jab. Nurse came out and called Mr Hutch please he went in. then she came out and asked for Miss Rabbit. that started a giggle with us women.even the men were smiling.
Then one of the women said have you notice all five of those men young sat with their legs wide open I looked around the surgery room and sure enough every man sat with his legs wide open one of the women said I wonder why that is ? i wont say was repeated but we started laughing I dont know what the nurse thought five old women going for their injections crying with laughter.they must have thought we had been drinking.
I came back to the flat and felt so tired I didnt dare go and lay on the bed incase I fell asleep.

Stephen, is there any truth in the rumour that Scotland is meant to be having snow at the week-end :-P This is what one of the girls at work told me!

Pat, it was on our news that Scotland are due to get snow, especially in the highlands.
Your new boots will come in very handy, but be sure to pack your balaclava, and scarf and gloves, just in case.

We have got the high winds at the moment, and this morning it was pouring with rain. Where has the summer weather of last week got to now, thats what I want to know.

Hope everyone is well. Love Mo xxx

Hello everyone.

I have had real trouble getting back on here. Not last night, nor this morning, this is the first time I have not got the Error Message.

Rita my flu jab was a combined one, flu, bird flu, and asian flu. No wonder I felt lousy.

Thank you for all your efforts Stephen. Behave yourself, please. ;-)

Hope everyone is well.

See's ya later.

Morning All.

What a horrible night, it blew a gale. Still quite warm though, the cold will start to move in soon, I fear.

The bloke who founded Apple has died I saw on the news. Only in his 50's. He had pancreatic cancer. What a tragedy for such a talented man.

No other lights on in the street, am I the only silly begger up?

Have a good day everyone, keep well.

Morning All !

Hello Maddie......at this time of the day I've usually been up for a couple of hours had a long lay in this morning......6.15am before I stirred.

Dark and miserable here, wind has gone down a bit , thank goodness.

Scientists have found out that waves off the Hebrides can be higher than 50ft. After a lot of expense and time to find that out......all they needed to do was ask the Islanders who live there. :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Catch you later......off to make the breakfast :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Pat,
SNOW......Yes ! On the high tops in the far north west.

Tha Achray Hotel keeps sledges and dog teams at the ready all year just in case guests get snowed in. All the staff are trained to use them, so you should be safe enough if that happens. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning all, cold and wet here today, the girl doing the weather forecast said time to get your winter woollies out.
Very late thus morning, had a disturbed night with Scarlett.

Hot rolls, toast, bacon, eggs, sausage.

Having my flu jab next Tuesday, how did yours go Rita, hope your arm isn't too sore.
Will be thinking about you tomorrow Stephen when you go to the hospital.

I got up at 1 30 to find it was pouring of rain but still very very hot. it was still raining hard at 3 and 4 oclock. it has done the gardens good. at the moment we have a sky that looks as if we will get more rain.?

didnt think much of Len Goodmans WDYTYA infact we are getting more history lesson than searching for the family tree.

Hope you all have a good day.

Morning all
Pauline had a lovely day yesterday with FIL. Had a lovely meal with him, my sister in law and the 2 of us. Then we had a bit of a walk. We went just into Oxfordshire to a village called Shabbington, also had a walk round a pretty little church. Back home really late after talking to Hubbys brother and wife through the evening.

Today is the dentists so I may not be back for a while.

Have a good day, its a bit calmer this morning than it was all night.

Linda :-) <3
