Night Night all, Back from AGM. Nice evening for a 3 mile walk. to and from. Ready for a glass of RED. Then to bed for a read.

See you tomorrow.

Evening All
another lovely day again here. ,We are doing well this week, glad OH is getting a good spell of weather for his holidays, and MIL to but it's a bit hot for her I think,
Sorted out dad's inscription on memorial stone today, all the papers in now just waiting for permision from the council so the fella who does the job can get permision to go into the cemetery and do the work.

We all went to Edinburgh today as we had to take daughter no 2 for an interview, not a good job, just a commision job, she won't be going for that as it will not pay enough to support her, but it was good for experience,

Was very warm in Edinburgh , we only was there for an hour just enough time to pop into a few shops, MIL got a top but I didn't see anything.

OH brother and SIL coming up from England tomorrow lunch time so we will have a full house for dinner, they are staying over night,
they are looking forward to seeing Sofia as it was christmas when they last saw her.

Well i have a bit of ironing to do, windows all open as i think it's going to be a warm night, had our bedroom window slightly open last night.

Thanks Jane for all your photo's , abeautiful place to have a graduation, and it looked like fun punting on the river.

Hi all,
Thought I would pop in before I go out to AGM. starts at 8.00pm

When Ros came back from hairdressers, the hair looked great and I told her so.!!!!!
We then went off to Morris####. She would insist on having a trolley and walking round. I told her a few things I wanted and left her to it. I went off and did everything else. When we meet up at the checkout I made her go and sit down while I emptied the trollies, and packed everything away in bags. Got her back to the car, and she decided she needed her tyre pressures checked. What a B ### Job, bending over taking all the caps off, then doing the pressure and putting the caps back on. I was about Bugg####. When we got home, I unpacked everything and put them away, then got the washing in, watered the tomato plants.Stuck a broom up my a### so I could sweep up as I went along :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D When I came in it was 5.45pm, I then got dinner ready and cooked. All washed up, I am ready for a couple of PINTS tonight.

Haven't looked at my Email this evening, but will do when I have posted this.

How's our KIM, not heard from her today. I hope she is feeling allright, I know how tired she says she gets.

Shirl, I know the one you mean but can't think of the name Hold on is it "COMPLAN" that comes to mind, use to give it to my Dad in the 50s, when he was very ill.

I told you Mel, you were going to get the SUNSHINE..

Poor old Jane, Everything to do. !!!! The ad. in the ET sounds a fair bet. You can but try.

Just looked at my Ebay items, One is making over £35.00 with a hour to go. Six bidders. It's an old marble and slate clock that had been sitting in the garage for ever !!!!. Help to pay for Ros's perm lol lol

Back from shopping and thanks for the pics Jane and Shirl.

Hot hot hot here. OH is taking the tracks off the digger as he has bought new ones as one had perished and he could only go in a straight line otherwise the track came off. He is going to do more to the new build once he has the digger working again.
You don't know how many times you use the thing until it is out of order!!

Frank good that Ros had something to eat today. It is very hard to resist bacon once you have smelled it cooking!! Was she pleased with her perm? More expence!! :-D

Picked more toms today and put them in my pocket.............yes you guessed I squashed two bending down. When I put my hand in to get them out..........yuck all wet and sticky.

hot hot hot----

THANK''S FOR THE EM
GREAT PIC'S JANE UNLIKE MINE --- WILL SEND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN

MEL RE POTTED TOM'S OMG I CAN SEE NEW SHOOT'S MY STILL GET SOME
AT LEAST ONE MORE TOM!!!???XXXX

FRANK WE HAVE A DIABETIC MILK DRINK HERE ( YOU-MUST -HAVE-THERE)) I WOULD KEEP ON HAND FOR OG WHEN HE WASN'T IN MOOD TO EAT, HE DRANK IT - I IN PLACE OF HIS MEAL--MAYBE YOU COULD TRY THIS FOR ROS ??? XX

Frank ,I am in charge of selling Hannahs things!!!.(plus the blooming car).I don't know where to start really.I thought maybe advertising the washer/drier machine and Farmhouse Kitchen Table and Chairs in the ET and see if we get anything from that.The car ,I will take to Te** and get the car washing people to do a Spring Clean on the interior.They do a brilliant job there and I think for a reasonable price.
I am trying to get James and Jess out for the evening .They are doing my head in !!!!!!!
Fitz came up earlier to get away from his Mother (she is doing his head in too lol)He went to Cambridge Uni many years ago.His room overlooked the Bridge of Sighs.I think he spent more time punting on the river rather than studying lol I don't think he was a model student ;-)

I have had the patio doors open and a beautiful Dragonfly decided to fly in.
We had a heck of a job to catch it and get it out again.It was massive.Jess caught it in her delicate hands and released it.

Afternoon All,

Well, what lovely pics Jane and don't you all look the 'bees knees'!! I agree with Mel that blue really suits Hannah and I love your dress too with that delicate colour. Love the pic of '3 in a boat' !! lol James has a pretty girlfriend doesn't he and I love that old building too.

That's so annoying Frank when you make the effort and then find the place is closed. I think a lot of clubs are struggling these days. OH's was last year and I think it was a bit 'touch and go' for a while till they managed to release some funds to pay the bills. I hope Ros feels a bit better after her breakfast....like you say, getting your hair done is always good for us ladies!! Good idea to use the supermarket trolley wheelchair if Ros will try it. Anything to help, even just for the time she is shopping. I hope you get some bids on your ebay stuff soon.........a lot wait until near the end don't they.

Mandy, I used to love it when I had a hairdresser that came to my house!! It was much quicker, cheaper and there was no 'hard sell' of all those products they have in salons!! Chelsea will need a bribe by the sound of it!!

We did more in the garden this morning and then went out to the nice carvery we went to last week. All was well until we had the blackberry and apple crumble. Mine seemed to have a lot of grit in it, so I spit a bit in my serviette and found it was GLASS!!! I took it back and showed them and at first they said it was only plastic as there was nothing else in the kitchen!! NO I said, plastic would not crunch like grit. I said I thought it was a chip from the glass dishes it was served in and the chap eventually agreed. They were most apologetic and gave us a refund for both our meals and chucked the rest of the crumble away!
I'd had that happen at home with OH being rough putting stuff away and a glass chip falling into a dish......muggins here was the one that used it and got a cut tongue!!

Well, I'm off out again now to look for another evergreen shrub for the bottom of the garden. BBL...

Afternoon everyone,

Not a very good day here,it's been raining on and off, don't think i'll be hanging any washing out today.

Jane, what a beautiful place to have a wedding ,love your dress ,very pretty ,and Hannah's too.

Frank, you are having a sort out with your things to sell, i must get son to put some things on e b*y for me , i don't know how to do it .
Glad to hear Ros has had a little to eat today ,she's got to have a little to keep her going , you must be worried !!

Hairdresser will be here soon , she will give me a trim and hubby too, i think DIL is bringing Chelsea ,she might let her trim her hair if she's in the mind !! she's not to keen .

Jane just looked at the Photo's, very nice indeed. What a beautiful place for a reception. Bet you thought you were the lady of the manor for the day.

Just put out a full line of coloures, hope the weather holds. Ros is coming back from the hairdressers to pick me up, so I can go and do the shopping. I might try to get her to sit in one of those wheelchairs that you attach the shopping trolley too. It might make her see that it can be easy for her to still pick the things she wants, without walking. Can but try :-D :-D :-D

I have 17 items on Ebay for sale, plenty of lookers, but as yet no bidders. Prices might be a bit high, but I am not letting them go for next to nothing. !!!!

Morning all,

Hope you had a good nights rest Jane, days like that do tire you out.

Not a lot to report, Ros didn't eat last night, but this morning had a rasher of bacon, egg, tomato and toast (one slice) She hopes she can keep it down.

I didn't ring the Doctor's this morning, as her appointment would be on trhe end of the list, which would be 11.30am. She has a perm bookek fot 11.15 this morning. I am sure it will make her feel a bit brighter after that.

While she out I will hoover and dust through, and try to think of something for dinner time tonight, that she might fancy (no not me in an apron) :-D :-D :-D :-

The weather forcast is good for Devon and Cornwall and Scotland. Not to clever here at the moment. Overcast and only about 58 degrees. When will we get our SUMMER.

I have got the clubs AGM tonight. so mighjt walk up and see the financial state they are in. Only open Fri night Sat lunchtime and Sun lunchtime. Last Friday the barman never turned up so had to go to the pub. Each time they don't open more people are going to the pub, At least you know they will be open. For me to go to the club, it's 15 minutes walk with my stick. Not much fun when you find it SHUT. !!! and it's up the top of a track, so you can't see if there are any cars there till you get there.

Morning All,

It is bright and sunny again today and I don't want to go shopping but should really so I may go later this morning so I can get back and do something in the garden.

Ann and Jane thanks for the pics. Love your dress Jane and baby Ethan's little suit!!!! He looks just pucker in that. I don't think I have ever seen a small baby in a waistcoat before. Hannah looks great in that colour of blue and Rachael's outfit is lovely too.

I'm sorry I haven't caught up on the posts ,but I am brain dead tonight.
Sheila Yes I hope things are back to normal now lol
I 'll get my head around more pics tomorrow.I just need to SLEEP :-S :-S
Night Night everyone xxzzzz

Thanks Jane for your Photograph, all these ladies looking very glam and a very smart baby Ethan, your dress is a lovely colour Jane,

Just had a shower, always need one when I have been outside all day and especially after we have had a BBQ,

Taking daughter no 2 into Edinburgh for an interview tomorrow afternoon, she is to be there for 3.pm we will go in a bit early and if the weathers nice will sit in the park and enjoy the sun, and if we have time maybe go up to the castle for a walk around, MIL doesn't walk so well also uses a stick so where ever we go we need pleanty of benches to have a sit down.

Thanks for that weather report Frank, Edinburgh is on the east side so we may not be so lucky for the sun!!! :-(

I'm off to watch a bit of TV then it's bed
night night
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Evening all,

Glad you had a nice time Jane. Punting on the river is great. but as you say difficult getting in the punt. The Punter had to lower me into the seat, as I can't get down that low. The views are great though.

Maureen, LOOK out for the postman this week. Surprise on it's way

Glad the sun shone for you everywhere today, Mandy the cloud is more down the east coast.

I don't know what's going on with my e.mails, I did send the photos Ann but the postmaster saying delivery failed the same thing with Shirls. I'll try again.

I've got that book Frank. Haven't read it yet, I've got a whole bookcase of books waiting to be read.

Glad you had a good time Jane. Love to have seen you boogying ....lol

I am glad you had a nice time at the wedding Jane it sounds lovely
punting down a river would love to see the photoes.

Well the police have gone now and when I walked down the alley there are two garages now and a burnt out shell. Cassandra said it did go off with a bang it scared her to death. the guy who got burnt is very seriously
ill and may not survive. the dogs were glad to go there normal walk this evening. What a week end lets hope the week is better.
I could do with a nice wedding.I have been asked out to lunch on Thursday another old schoolfriend this time a male. Dont laugh he asked to meet me at the golf club and bring a stick or two I take it he means clubs and I dont play golf. unless he is planning to light a bonfire..lol

Poor Amy Whitehouse I feel for the family


Well I gave up the Witches Brew today. To the school got fed up with it I told them the kids could write the rest and it seems they are thrilled to bits
Mrs Ross one of the teachers class I read to came and took it away.I dont have a lot of time and you need peace and I do not find much of that in this house. I asked to read the finished version.


Well look forward to Janes pictures one day.
Is it back to normal now Jane.

Evening everyone,

Jane , glad to hear you had a good time at the wedding ,i would have loved to have seen you all punting down the river in your wedding finery .

Ann, will mention to hubby about the slates , might help to keep the price down a bit .
I've always fancied having a house like they have in America with the Veranda running round the house , and having a rocking chair on there to sit in lol

Enjoyed the film last night , must have an early night tonight ,as it was gone twelve last night before i went to sleep !!!
