General Chat

Hellooo DET. I am cream crackered :-\. I have not even got the stuff out of my bag yet except for the freebie pencils for the littlies. A was delighted and says she is going to draw me a special picture, can't wait :-D

Morning Aunty!

What we do and see? Well, LG went on a spending spree and bought various disc of Wiltshire records, and we both renewed or were assigned a code for a 25% discount on the 'other site' we know and love to use :-D :-D

I spoke to the people on the JewishGen stall and got told about several web sites which may help, and the Met Police are going to look up and see if they have any records for one of OH's greats.

We sat in on a talk by the A mob, about enhancements to their site, and learned a few tips about using some of the features. Look out for the Beta version of images for the UK 1911 and US 1930. The Beta interactive version is going to be rolled out over all census.

We met Ron on his stall, and bought him and his assistant a hot drink as a 'thank you'. As usual at these things, we collected a lot of free pamphlets, still to be waded through.

The GR stand wasn't obvious as such, and less busy than many of the other major players. FMP probably had most of the budget!!! GR had lap tops running, presumably for record searching, which is what we used to post a cheeky message. [Sorry, Jane]. I did spot the name tag for Estelle of customer support, but wasn't able to read everyones.

Enjoy the last of your heat, Aunty. you'll soon be moaning that you are cold!

Helloooooooooo. A really good day, well as DET said the helicopter greeted me and saw me off the premises too :-D. Bought 3 parish CDs in hopes of finding some more of my Wiltshire and Lincoln lot. Learnt a few new things about A******y tips that we never knew.

Morning Aunty!!

I wasn't gallivanting! I was doing the unmentionable horrible things!

Morning all. As I said it took several minutes for the penny to drop, then I realized Jane must have been one of the GR people. Well come on tell us about the big adventure. Did you talk to anyone who knew anything about FH.

Hmm while you lot have been gallivanting I have been typing for OH. Did about five pages and went back to insert a picture and could not find my updated document. Searched all the drafts and no updates. Drats. Found it in the end where I had saved it under a different name so I woldn't mix it up. Too clever by half sometimes, I am.

Another stinking hot day. Last night minimum was 26 degrees and it is now 28.3 at 6.25 am. Nice of the heron to provide supper for the cat and nice of the cat to bring it home to share.

Thanks YG I have just edited my previous post. Why on earth did I type that, what a nutter. Plenty of shoes, no fish and definitely not a sole soul around at the time of posting.

Sounds like you had a good day DET!! I just knew LG would be watched!! I hope she didn't take her broomstick! :-D :-D

Evening All :-D

A good day was had by both of the wanderers, and yes, the helicopters did shepherd LG into the exhibition and was waiting to greet her when we emerged :-D :-D

Jane? Who is Jane? We thought it would come up as WDYTYAlive, not 'Jane'. Oops!! Best I send her a message when LG is back on line, to apologise and suggest she deletes. We were having a 'funny five minutes', as you do - lol

Assuming she does - message preserved as follows.

Hope Puddy tat didn't get a tummy ache after eating fish which has gorn off.

i hope it was an expensive meal though

Ah well, that's the culprit then!! We used to have a pond and a heron found us!! It used to sit on the garage roof looking over.

I am hoping he just found it and was a dead one YG cos it stunk and was stiff lol .we have a heron in the area .

He's a naughty puddy Maz!! Must have been in someone's pond to get that!!

evening all
well talking of Fish my puddy has brought home a koi carp lol i am hoping it was dead as it stinks the scales are everywhere
Got my washing dry today lol .

Aunty, Aunty, Aunty!!! I know it was late for you when you posted, but although we all tend to flap around a bit, I don't think we are fish >>>>>>> are we!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

I have just switched the tv on for the news to see whether there are any reports of helicopters flying around the big city !!!!!

You just never know what they will get up to when they are let loose!! ;-) ;-)

Hi Jane, Your first visit and not a soul here to welcome you. Off flitting around cyber space somewhere I would imagine. Welcome to the boards and in particular Nut Lodge, whoops sorry, Nut Castle.

No doubt LG and DET will introduce you to us when they return from whatever is keeping them. DET is probably locked in some inferior castle cellar trying out the refreshments, and LG is either out on her broomstick or watching some red and white clad fellows running from one end of a soccer field to the other trying to catch a ball without using their hands.

The rest of the gang are around somewhere, they just have to remember where at this time of the morning.

If you happen to run into DET and LG tell them I hope they are behaving themselves and not to hog the lappy so no one else can use it. Tell them to leave the pens on the desks, and if they find any useful information to make sure they bring it back to share with us.

Aunty is occasionally a little slow at this time of night on her side of the globe. I hope everything is going really well over there and you are all having fun!!!

Hello!!!! It's Us - me and her!!

Shan't stay then... obviously something better going on elsewhere....

Ditto!

Same here Sylvia>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HI

just dashing through



hi all


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

bye all

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Back again - had unexpected visitors + OH playing SS.

My, look how long LG's nose has grown this evening! Will it have shrunk by the morning do you think???

Well done Aunty with the crafty card. It must have been a very proffessional finish to have confused OH. That could be a side line for when you do eventually retire. You'll have to send us before and after photos once you have reached your goal weight. What a fantastic loss :-D

And thank you YG - we are sure to have a great day out.
