Hi all

OH arrived safely

didn't stop talking for 3 hours :-(

wish there was an emoticon with hands over ears :-)

only had about 2 cm snow this morning ..... so he shovelled the path and sidewalks


and talked some more




................. now it is pouring with rain!



What a day!

I was on GR briefly around 9 pm UK time

and haven't been able to get back on until about 30 minutes ago

I kept getting into this wonderful circle of

log in -> sign in -> sign in -> sign in ........................


several times :-(


it was like when we were trying to book a hotel in Leningrad in the mid-1970s ..................

to book a hotel you needed a visa for the USSR -> to get a visa to enter the USSR you needed a hotel reservation -> to get a hotel you needed .............






I think I was in an alternate universe on both occasions! :-)

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Not a very good shot are you Aunty :-( :-( :-|

Have to agree with DET on the sniffs and sneezes LG. Do you have an adequate intake of vitamin C. Aunty loads a crate of Riverland oranges into the catapult and tightens the knicker elastic. Probably not as nice a chocolate but much more beneficial. Open the flaming window, woman, and get under the table. Wouldn't want to add physical injury to your woes.

Greetings to all and sundry. I am off on a day of shopping, cooking, washing, pampering OH and his poor sore eye, and NOT going to work work.

Aunty ducks, runs and hides!!

I am just up to the usual stuff, cleaning, washing, food shopping!! But just being away from work is a real treat at the moment. It is wearing me into the ground.

So instead of the mad house at work, you choose to come the virtual one instead ;-)

Please keep your cold your side of the screen LG - perhaps next time you go to your not eating as much group, you can get them to revise your intake? You get so many colds, may be you need something to boost your immune system.

Fingers crossed that Sylvia's OH made it home safely as well. No doubt there will be a lot to catch up on....and possibly a job with a shovel when he is 'with it'.

Evening all. No signs of any uniforms tonight, so will have to settle down with tv or a good book!!

Weekend at last! Don't even care that it is pouring with rain, dark and cold!! Loving being at home away from the madhouse!!

Hello one and all. Sylvia,just looking at your avitar is making me shiver.

Semi lazy day for me today methinks as I have got yet another cold and sore throat :-| :-| :-| :-P.

det yes I did forward them on so she will think she is seeing double :-S :-D

Hi all

Thank you all for your welcome


OH is due home in about an hour or maybe two ........ his plane lands in 20 minutes, but he has to go through Customs & Immigration ..... he's been in the UK for a week.

He's coming back just in time for the dump of snow forecast either for over night or early tomorrow morning, so he will get to do the shovelling :-D

Then it will be either freezing rain or rain by tomorrow afternoon

YUKK




He supports Chester, and I used to support 'Latics ............. but I've been over here so long that I've lost interest in soccer.


Now ....... if it were hockey players ................... or those American (or Canadian) football players in their skin tight pants ;-) ;-) ;-)




Our fire engines can control traffic lights immediately outside their fire halls, but not others.

However, ALL traffic has to move over to the right (ie, to the curb) as soon as they hear emergency sirens. If the driver can't get to the side of the road ............ he has to stop where he is, and let the emergency driver get around him. On the wrong side of the road, if necessary


Major penalty if you don't obey. No excuses accepted.


It's quite something to see if you haven't seen it before


There is talk of some express buses being able to control traffic lights in front of them, to speed their journey through town. I'm not sure if that has been brought in though.


Sleep tight everyone who has gone to bed .......................


I'm just about to put my dinner in the oven .......... I'm assuming that himself won't want much after a 10 hour flight from Heathrow, and who knows what time he left Manchester this morning!

NIght LG.

The attachment to the email helps to pull it all together. I was trying to send the images to both of you at once, so if you have forwarded them as well?? Better too many than none at all. ;-)
