Morning everyone I have not taken anything out of the menue today Jean I am being spoilt with all these cooked breakfasts. I can warm it up in my Microwve?
I woke this morning made a cup of tea and went back to bed to drink it with a ginger nut biscuit and lay there watching the sky ti was grey then there was a strip of bright red then pale blue then another strip of red now I am wonder what that tells me. good or bad Red sky in morning Shepherds warning Red sky at night shepherds delight.

It appears the Students have threatered to bring Londons Capital to their knees.to day. do they really think the public will tolirate this type of behavour ? They must be living in c,loud cookoo land.


Time for my breakfast now, what shall I have ?

Ahhh Shelly, poor lickle tree,no ornaments,no lights, not really feeling very festive is it.
Why don't you go out and treat yourself to a bigger one, with all the decs to go with it.

Rita don't you go opening those presents yet, it's not christmas for another
16 days.

I am waiting for the news to come on. Must make sure Maddie,didn't get swept away with the university students.

Where is everyone today. I know Pat is out on a spending spree,and Stephen is having a coffee, but where's Marilyn, Pauline,they are very quiet.

Maddie,

Football.........home grown.......it's hard to find a British name in most teams now.

Even the Managers are 'Foreigners'.

The last time I 'supported' a team was way back in 1957 or so when our local team.....all local lads....won the Scottish Cup.

Neither myself nor any of my seven brothers were into football. Unusual for a bunch of lads.We were all swimmers and divers.

My weird family all had webbed toes. A genetic malfunction from my Mums side of the family.

Home Secretary, J R Clynes, was present at Princess Margaret’s birth in 1930. His attendance was required by an edict dating back to the Stuarts to ensure that the new baby was not switched at birth.

(I must stop reading about the existing Royals & learn more about the proposed new one.)

I'm home now.
I didn't spend all my money.
I got some Belgian Chocs from M & S for my hairdresser.It was manic in there. It isn't a shop I go in often. The lady in front of the queue had a trooley full of christmas food. It looked really nice.

Pat, you should try M+S food, it's lovely. It may seem dear to some, but worth every penny.
I like Thor*t*ns chocolates, now they are delicious,and very moreish(sp)

I have just been watching the student riots, on the news. Oh my lord, I feel sure that most of the trouble makers are not students themselves, but the odd hooligans,who like to cause trouble. Look how many times the hooligans caused problems at football matches,in the past.

I do hope Maddie got through o.k.

Rita Report 9 Dec 2010 19:02

Mo I dont think it was all trouble makers a lot of those were students I
I thought it was an utter disgrace they wonder why the police attack them ?what do they expect throwing billard balls and bricks and stones and flares and throwing paint at police officers faces.one was pulled off his horse and hit while on the ground the poor horse stamped on rider and then rush off in a panic poor horse. I hope he is not hurt the officer I think was taken to hospital. all those people in London are stuck there in their cars. all because of the Marchers.They seem to forget the police would not be there if they had not arranged this march the policemen are sons fathers brothers to some one.
The damaged they have done they should have to pay for that and clear the mess up.

Pat I am pleased you did save some money for the sales Lol
I have been spring cleaning yes you heard right spring cleaning in winter. I had this urge and enjoyed doing it. I feel tired now.
