I am glad that your aunt is better than you had expected Diane.
My cousin is back in hospital now, going downhill fast and it doesn't look good.

Sorry I am not paying much attention, I keep getting emails about the TIC. I think you are correct Sue. The council will say that they offered us a newly converted building, but we wouldn't take it on

I hope you are more appropriately dressed tonight Tec. scruffy jeans and an old jumper covered in paint won't do. One must make an effort to keep up the standard of the thread, Oh and no I can't see you

Sue I would never infer that you are old enough to be my granny. As my granny was born in 1880, that would make you 130 years old. I know that you're not quite that old, I've seen the photo lol.

Councils are looking for any excuse to shut anything at the moment. They have already shut our local TIC, in mid season, with no notice. They are closing public toilets, and closing our village school.
The villagers have raised enough funds to engage a firm of lawers in London to fight them in Court over the school closure.

She's a tough old cookie, thank's Sue and Linda

Linda sorry to hear your cousin is back in hospital, you will have to forgive me hun for asking this ( as you have probably told us ) but what is your cousin's reason for being in hospital.

Diane

She has lung cancer Diane, but the tumours have spread to her brain, she is only 55

Linda I'm more suitably attired tonight to talk to you. Smart black trousers, navy jumper and a new shirt - only because I didn't bother changing into my scruff after coming home from town.

Tec.

LindainHerriotCountry Report 25 Oct 2010 23:21

That is much more suitable Tec, although musts admit that I always change once I get home,so my smarter stuff doesn't get scruffed up.

Black trousers and a navy jumper????

I know I'm late, but I have read all the posts this time.

Diane - hope your aunt rallies. I know how close you are to her.

Hello everybody. Agreed Sue. Blue sky and sunshine here but to-day's promise is 27. I don't think that will be right either! "Possible showers" (they cover themselves don't they?).

Linda - scruffy jeans and an old jumper covered in paint work shows ambition! Tec is a hard worker, but I do wonder if the dining room still looks 'tired'?

Pam - snakes only appear in the suburbs if the suburb is a young one - still not far from undeveloped land. Although I must admit that when I saw a neighbour's furniture arrive from his native country - the packaging was so flimsy, that the crates fell apart as they were lowered onto his driveway. I wondered what kind of vermin they had brought with them, or collected down in the 'hold' of the ship.

Sorry that your cousin is so ill Linda, that's awful.

Diane Report 25 Oct 2010 23:27

Linda I'm so sorry to hear this and now that you have reminded me I now remember you saying about this, ( my memory lately is horrendous ) it's as though it has been switched off.
This is so sad Linda and she is so young, I hope they are making thing's for her as comfortable as possible hun.

Thank you Tec,

Good evening Berona.

Yes Tec, how is the dining room coming on?

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 25 Oct 2010 23:30

Good Morning Berona,

Yes the dining room still looks tired, and so do I ........lol.

As I live in a very remote and rural area, most people look like Wurzel Gummidge, so by comparison, I'm quite tidy really

Tell the Duchess I said that you can have a day off tomorrow Tec.

I intend to have an idle day, I am going to pretend that my email is broken

Tecwyn Report 25 Oct 2010 23:36

Linda you're attempting to wind me up - won't work.

Tec.

LindainHerriotCountry Report 25 Oct 2010 23:38

????? I was merely being sympathetic Tec and suggesting that you should have a day off as you are so tired. i am sure the Duchess will be equally sympathetic

Diane

Diane Report 25 Oct 2010 23:40

Good morning Berona
Thank's hun for your wishes, and yes we are close even though we have had are misunderstanding's at time's. She was like a second mother to me when I was a young girl and her and my Uncle ( her husband ) were alway's there for me when I needed them.
Hope thing's with you are good hun.
