Rita ......

Just for you I might get 'Hamish' to do a handstand ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Evening Rita,

Just got back, only went for one :-D :-D :-D :-D
Hope your keeping well, and whats this about men in kilts...LOL

Stephen, what is up with your eye, they can do many things nowadays.

George :-) :-)

George,

The eye muscles and cornea were damaged a lot of years ago. As the years have gone on the eye has got progressively worse.

Just gotta keep it till it gets better......or in this case till it gets worse :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

#Crawls onto thread.#

Oh gosh, I am sooooo tired. Why is everyone buying stuff for Christmas already. Not just bits and bobs, but full grown lists of food, drink, toys and suchlike. Its only OCTOBER.

I fancy a little black and red number for Halloween, satin would be tops I think. I would try for linen, but it would crease sitting on me broomstick.

Rita, I am pleased your keyboard has been replaced. However, I used to use a typewriter many years ago, that had NO letters on the keys. I can touch type you see, and do not need them. Sort of like playing the old Joanna. :-)

Hope everyone is well. Linda I hope all works out satisfactorily for your parents, and they are treated like Royalty. They deserve the very best treatment.

George, please call me Maddie. :-D

Take care all.

<3

Stephen I had a giggle here my step father in Law was named" Hamish " I called him Hamie he orignally came from the Highlands spoke Gaelic., had a job to understand him when I first knew him that would be back in late 1970 he died about four years ago.,
I never saw him in a kilt, he wore plad trousers he had been in a scottish regiment I not sure I think it was the Golden highlanders, ?

George you found your way home then ? what a good lad you are one pint was it the strong stuff. ?

Maddie I typed without the letters on the keys, it was the fact that they vanished and I paid for the numbers on the keys pads.. so wrote to tell them, how bad it was, a company with a good name sell products that were faulty. didnt do the company justice. and had a lovely letter back.next things I knew they said send the keyboard back they would forward a new one to me before I sent mine and they did that, they wanted to do some tests on the keyboard to see why that happened, it appears it should not have done. it was their l;atest one as well.

so I was happy and they were.

Hello everyone, hope you all had a peaceful night.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, hash browns,
Hot rolls or toast.

Forecast is good for today, hopefully can get some washing out and spend some time in the garden.

Take care and stay safe, and enjoy your day.

Morning all
Well back late last night after a good day.

Dad was OK, very frail but in good spirits and not yet fighting to get out of hospital. He has agreed to going into a nursing home. he is covered in bruising, Rita will understand this. But we spent over an hour with him and he was awake the whole time.
Later we went to the Bupa home. It seems very nice and will be fine as long as SS agree that they both need Nursing care not just a care home. So today we wait for formalities. The home has 2 rooms oposite each other available and is in the countryside but near a small town and 2 of my brothers and sisters. About an hour by car from me but they can't be near everyone.
My sister in law kindly cooked a lovely casserole for us with her family when we got back.

Oh well I'll let you know how we get on.

Linda :-) <3

Went to a very large mansion house with the grandaughters today, It is now a Museum and has loads of activity for the kids. The Mansion used to be owned by a friend of mine and owned by his family for over 250 years.
There has actually been a dwelling on the site for over 1000 years..What a history. The family made their money by selling copper to sheath the bottom of the wooden ships of the Royal Navy. He was nicknamed Copperbottom Forbes.
Still 'on duty' with my wee lassies. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Catch you later.

afternoon all. what a lovely day it is getting a bit chilly now. but must not complain about todays weather. we need some more of this.

I spent the morning changing my curtians in the living room one big window and a small one never again . it took me ages I could barely reach the top corner to put the plastic clip over . four attemps before I managed it but what a struggle that was. I told a friend I will leave them till one of my family come over and get them to do it next time
its done now and I am pleased I did it. my jobs to do list is getting smaller 8 more to go.

Hope you all have a good evening.
