It's another day !

Still here to enjoy it come what may.

Morning all !

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea or Coffee.

Toast, Butter, Marmalade, Bacon Rolls, Cereals, Porridge.

Get tucked in !

It's dark and dreich this morning. Must have had a fair bit of rain overnight. Snow is foercast for the high hills. Can't smell any here yet though.

The next couple of months are the ones I really detest. It starts getting better the 2nd week in January when we see a bit more light. Shortest day can't come quick enough.

They usually do a good job of keeping the Glen road clear of snow but as it's a secondary road it's a low priority. The farmers help a lot by using their own ploughs. And my wife is a dab hand with a shovel !!!!!!

Have a good day ya all.

Rita. I hope your not left alone on here all day again.

Morning Stephen and Maddie and others who pop in later than me
Thanks for the tea Stephen. And both of you don't work too hard.

I am up later this morning as no little today.
So I can please myself. There is a wash already on. Family tree to check and forward to my new contact.

Just off for tea and cereal.

Oh the blood tests are all back and show all Normal. I said to the receptionist that would be a first !!! At least nothing nasty going on. Just have to see the consultant at the hospital next week.

Dad was allowed home yesterday. My sister in law phoned late yesterday. He had one tablet that didn't agree with him and added to his problems, that has been changed now so we'll see how he gets on. So he and Mum were together for their anniversary and the party goes ahead on Saturday.

Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts.

Linda :o) XxX

Morning
Maddie , Stephen and Linda.

Linda that is such good news about your Dad and to think they will be together for their Wedding Anniversary is great news.

My arms are all bruised this morning. it is something to do with the warfarin and my blood. If my husband was alive he would have a fit if he saw my arms like this. still I have told the hospital.

I am doing some more Family tree as I told you
and I am going to be really busy today.
I have shopping this morning and then a lot of typing to do. as I have now got dates of places where some of them lived and dates of their deaths. I have 676 to do look ups on. many I do know.
see you later.

Rita

xxx

Aaaarrrrrgh, I've just clicked the wrong button and lost the long post I wrote out. Haven't got time to write it out again, got to go out.

I haven't been able to get on here because my server was down........so if I go missing - you know what's happened.

Pleased to hear the good news about your parents Linda, and it's worked out well for them to be back together for their anniversary.

Rita, sounds like you may need your warfarin changed if you're bruising that bad.

Sorry got to rush out.

Hello and Good bye to Shelly I hope you have your trainers on all that running about you are doing.

Pauline I told maddie I thought it might be your computer was down, see I am a witch even without my broomstick.

I have been to the shops and got back had the letter from the hospital my blood test was fine cayy on taking the doseage I am on I dont have to have another test till 14 December my god that is near Christmas how time flies.
I called my estate manager in this morning as my central heatting is up the creek without a paddle. it is on the lowest you can get ,yet the radiators are so hot you have to move away from them. you cannot put your hands on them. I said would she let them know as I think the thermostat is needing replacing. I have turned the CH off and left the HW on. I dont really need the heating on yet only a few nights it was cold that was why I had it on.
still we will see when they come.

Rita

Relax a little and treat yourself a bit.
Stay warm

Waves to Linda ~~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm here only just.....we were delayed at Heathrow for a day. the engine had an oil leak, and had to fly another part from Houston that took 10 hours ..!! Continental Airlines, got no spare parts in UK , British airways couldn't help either .

Anyway we were well looked after........it was just an inconvenience.

Now what has been happening ????

We are connected now..... but I cant send out E-Mails as yet I can receive though.

Its 86 degrees just to let you all know........too hot, I have been for my walk on the beach before breakfast ......power walking that is ...LOL

My brother & SIL is house sitting for me and already on the phone, I forgot to tell him we had a new boiler installed and it works different from the old one ......he's managed it now ...bless him.

Hope you are all really really really ...... sad that I'm not home with you ALL ...LOL
Awwhhh all my friends are lovely.....

I'm going to miss strictly , I can only read about it ,but its not the same is it ?
USA has their version on Monday's and the same two judges are here and then fly's back home for the UK Strictly on Saturday . must be megga rich as they were both here last year ...

I'll be back later as I am going to catch up on all posts.. I have just skipped through them.

Maddie I have the local Plymouth Devon records Office on my door step tell me if you need anything looked up on your Tree for you family from Devon and I have lots of other local knowledge if you need help ....

Sorry you had plane problems Marilyn.
Sad BA couldn't help !!
Did you see about the Quantas flight on the 380 that lost the power in one engine? Had to turn back to Singapore after dumping fuel there were about 450 aboard. They have stopped flying them for now. Though Emirates are still using theirs.

Enjoy your break

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Linda, .....I have just about laughed my head off !!!!

I forgot Hubby worked for BA and in all innocence said that in my previous message .
tell him all is forgiven ....LOL XX

Yes Saw the Qantas flight .....oh dear .....at least we had all engines running ..

Pete said at least continental had Spare parts ....rubbing it in a bit ....LOL

Marlyn........Marilyn who ???????

Go on rub it in......86rdeg.

I enjoyed Fort Myers and all the rest of Florida when I did a grand tour.

My favourites were Fort Lauderdale and St. Augustine although for a real touch of Florida, Everglades City is worth a visit, caught in a time warp....everything seems to have passed it by.

An Artist lady tried to chat me up in Key West, you may have seen her, she has a white stick and a guide dog. LOL
She said if the rest of me was as good as my voice....she'd have me. . Little did she know.
My wife said I must have fell from the Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down.

A nephew has a villa in Naples....that's nice too.

I was on a millionaires yacht in Fort Lauderdale.
'TOTO' ....110ft of pure sailing bliss.....some folk have all the luck !!!!!!!

You have a great time Marilyn.....and NO MARINES.

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Marines !!!!.......ohhhh what a lovely thought, USA ones are not bad but not as good as our boys..LOL
We have been wearing our Poppy's and you would never believe that a lot of Americans have questioned us on why are you wearing Poppy's????.... they do have limitations on knowledge of the rest of the world.
Although I do like them as a race..


Been to all the places that you have mentioned Stephen, and Naples is my favorite, I love all the Shops ....

Off out now to do the most important thing ...SHOPPPING !!

Marilyn,
Good to hear from you.

An American, in Florida, once said to me that he hadn't been to Scotland because he liked WATER.......I soon put him wise.

LOL Stephen.

I mentioned to my American TEACHER friend that I go to Cyprus every January . He said Where is that ?????????? says it all ........doesn't it !

Well I deffo out now I have been waiting for Pete t stop messing about with his new Lappy that he has bought .....

Bye for now ..~~~~~~

Good afternoon all. Tea time methinks.

I put the washing out on the line, with so many pegs on the clothes, it took me ages to bring it all back into the house.

Hi Ya, Marilyn I hope you are both enjoying yourselves. I thought you had deserted us all, only you are normally on line as soon as you arrive. But all is forgiven,as you had the hold up at the airport.
