Linda had her thoughts for the day but not over the last few days.

Jean we will be on Television all next week so you can watch us make fools of ourselves.

Rita, have you seen the state of the buses in Dehli. You certainly don't want to travel on one. Thats if you could get a seat on one, with all the people and goods that they carry.LOL
Besides Stephen has arranged limo's for us at the other end.

Rita Report 29 Sep 2010 21:36

Linda was on the thread for Thoughts for the day 27th September. I had it on my list.

I checked on my messages just now and found that GR have listed all my receipts for GR it goes back to 2005 when I joined
I wonder why I never noticed this before now ?

Mo
I know they hang onto all the sides and top of the buses. My Fathers brother was a regular soldier and was posted out on the Kiba Pass after the war he stayed out there for a year before coming home when he was demobed
He use to tell us how the trains where that full with people hanging on all side and standing inside the carriages packed out.

Steve didnt tell us he had a limo at the other end I thought we had to bus it.

Morning all.

Wish I'd known a beautician would be on board, I've been on ages doing all this fancy nail art - very difficult to put the diamontes on me right hand when I'm useless with me left hand. I usually have it done at the salon (not the posh one that Marilyn goes to) but they aren't open yet.

Still don't see why I couldn't have been picked up at Newcastle, had to leave at the crack of dawn so I could get to London on time. It was pitch black when I left, obviously I'm typing this on the train.

Had to make my own breakfast as well because Stephen wasn't here at 5am. Never mind, at least I'll get there on time now.


Well done to Stephen's son, our country is proud of you all. Does that mean he's home safe Stephen?
