Troubles come in Threes !

Here's my No.2

A friends wife is going into Hospital on Thursday for a Kidney Biopsy and a Bone Scan and Bone Sample(?) . Things are not looking too good for her.
The family live in a wee village and Andrew has just finished digging them out from the last two weeks of snow.
He is concerned that when his wife is in Hospital they will be snowed in again and he wont be able to visit her
He has young children and needs to stay in the village for their school.
The forecast is not very good for later in the week.....more snow.

Sh*t ....will somone post a good joke or something.....I'm full of doom and gloom just now.

On a 'brighter' subject.

There's to be a fantastic Meteor Shower tonight. And the sky is nice and clear.
Best seen between 10pm and 2am.

Sorry my Southern friends.....applicable mainly to Scotland.

Better get the 'BIG' Binoculars out tonight and give them a good clean.

Don't want to miss the show because of dirty lenses do I !

Hello everyone.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

Dame Shelly, how are you. Where have you been.

Stephen, get your three out of the way, then have a blooming good Christmas and New Year. You deserve it. You seem to work very hard, and help your family a great deal. Let your hair down a bit.

I have been collared into working a few extra hours next week. I shall be crawling home on my hands and knees. lol

Everyone at work got a 'personalised' letter from the Managing Director over the weekend. A bog standard letter, but with each persons' Christian name on their own letter [does that make sense] saying what the Company was doing in the next couple of years. Just as long as we dont lose our bonus, I am not too fussed, I just wanna go asap. I reckon I have served my time. Committing murder I would have been out sooner.

Son got a stinker of a cold, coughing and sneezing. I have been sitting in a plastic bubble trying not to get in the range of the 'spray'.

Dog sitting at my feet, f@rting away. She has the cheek to look around her to see who has done it. Dontcha just love her. lol

Maddie,

Humpty Dumpty has more hair than me !

Could always let me trousers down instead !

People wouldn't get upset over a 'wee thing' like that.

Oooh sorry Shelly. I knew you were poorly a little while ago, I thought you were still snotty.

I do get in at night and try and speed read what has been said during the day, but I guess I miss bits and pieces.

Stephen, lowering the tone again. lol

I do smile when you talk of your kilt. We used to have 'country dancing' on a Friday afternoon at Primary School. We used to dance reels, variations on Scottish dancing. We were in blocks of six, and most of us girls had the latest plaid pinafore dresses from MandS with a pleated skirt. We used to imagine we were part of the 'White Heather Club' [shown down South for a number of years] when we were whirling around.

Maddie,

My Father in Law was a POW for 5 years. He was part of the 51st Highland Division captured at St Valery. They were the rearguard to allow the troops to escape from Dunkirk.

While in the POW Camp a Dance was devised by the Officers and men.......

The Reel of The 51st Highland Division

A grand Country Dance.

We danced it at my daughters wedding in memory of my Father in Law.

Hello everyone
Marilyn pleased your hospital results were ok it is a relief when your told that,
Stephen I thought I was the only damper on here nothing is going right for me either . my son brought me that digital dvd player and recorder and I press some key I should not have . so it is not working. I have emailed him and asked him what Mummy has done .?
Then I thought I would have a whisky and might help my cold but then remembered I have my warfarin blood test tomorrow at ten o'clock so thats out. so it is back to lemon and honey.
Now the heating is not hotting up . you said things happen in three;s i think your right.?
Marilyn I got your emails and had a laugh.
Pauline did you not get my packet you should have done it went first class.
Pat you have fish and chips lovely my favourite
Marilyn a mixed menu you must have been to the savoy for that lol
Hope everyone is Ok on here.well we are nearly at Chrstmas not long now.lets hope we dont get more snow.

I am back my son phoned and told me where I had gone wrong the DVDis working now silly me.
.
Stephen a couple of months ago they showed you a film" that was taken at that time " retreat from Dunkirk" I watched it as my cousin stanley was there and they showed you the Scottish regiment who stayed behind to allow the forces to escape. the officer in charge offered to stay and fight so they stood more chance The British general said such brave men and none would back down.they fought till the could not longer carry on.

Hi Folks, not been ignoring you all tonight but I've been searching for an elusive GG grandparents death !! Theres a chance I've found it now so fingers crossed.
Stephen many of my ancestors were Scottish and could dance the night away, unfortunately I did not inherit the dancing genes and am like an un-coordinated octopus on the dancefloor.
The sniffles appear to have crossed the Channel and I am in dire need of a hot toddy before turning in.
