Morning Jane.
Sunny here but don't think it will be very warm, daughter no 1 phoned from Italy this morning says it's to hot for her esecially at night they do have an fan but though she likes the cold air she can't sleep when it's running, thats my problem with fans too.

Sofia coming round a little to SIL mother has her moments. she was chatty to me on the phone ,I haven't a clue what she says , she just babbles on & on giggling as well :-D :-D

I need to strip MIL bed this morning and get the sheets into the machine , hope to get them dried on the line.

just time for a small coffee , I have taken to drinking a small cup of coffee instead of a mug, hoping it will make a difference to the heart burn , tired to stop altogether but I felt so tired

Well I am absolutely pooped.Don't know why ,as i haven't actually done a lot today.So I am away to bed with my book too.
We have a very sick rabbit in the garden with myxamytosis (I can never spell that).For once I would be happy for Chris to 'pop' it off.

Hi All
decided to have an early night, OH has to be up early 6.00 so he can drive to Edinburgh Airport then catch his flight to Barcelona. I will take my book to bed. it won't disturb him, don't think I will read for long though , I'm quite tired too.

I'll be back tomorrow before I go down to do a church tea duty standing in for one of the other ladies who's on holiday.

night night

I'm sure Ann wasn't referring to you Frank when she said Ros has a lot to put up with .....LOL :-D but it's no joke being in pain poor thing, I bet she can't remember what normal is anymore.

Whatever did OH have on his mind Ann, at least he was trying to catch a serial killer and not actually being one. I've had a lot of dreams lately where I've been on a train, they are all different dreams but all involve train journeys, what do you think that's telling me. I need a holiday perhaps .....lol

Hope you will be feeling better soon Mel. I'm terrible for going to the doctors always put it off thinking by the time I get an appointment whatever it was will be gone so I shouldn't be telling you to go but sometimes it's the quickest way to clear things up.

Hope your FIL Mandy has had a restful day and no more funny turns.

I'm off to see Case Histories in a minute, I find them a bit complicated with quite a lot of characters but watching it is definitely easier to follow than the books.

Enjoy your dinner with the family Frank.

Night night all

Evening All,

Hope your DIL's dad makes a quick recovery now Mandy. What a scare for you all.

Maureen, that was hilarious about your mum and your boyfriends!!! lol I can just see their eyebrows going up as she rattled off the names, and them wondering how many others you had!!!!! lol

Jane I like the sound of that chicken........and OH is going to the bank near that shop tomorrow!! :-D I bet you were quite relieved when you made contact with your sister, after your mind racing all that time.

Sorry to hear you aren't well Mel. Mandy is right about getting to the docs if your chest infection doesn't improve.......and don't overdo things will you.

Sorry to hear Ros is suffering Frank.......she has a lot to put up with.......so be good!!

I had a really good sleep last night and woke up about 8.00am to the loud sounds of a family of baby Crows in the tall pine tree!! Not an attractive noise!!! OH told me he was dreaming about trying to catch a serial killer!!!......

I recorded them all..As I am out Monday nights ...and hadnt seen the first one..

I will record Case Histories tonight and see what they are all about thanks...I did notice they were on.

Did you enjoy Injustice Pat, I watched every episode when it was on, thought it was really good. Haven't watched Scott and Bailey, there's something on the other side at the same time, Case Histories, I have read the books, it's well worth a watch if you can catch it second time around.

Patricia

Patricia Report 19 Jun 2011 19:56

Have some things to do before that so will catch you all tomorrow...

Jane it is a pain being short....Clothes look better on taller people.
Im glad you have made contact with your sister now.

Mel I hope you are feelinng better now...This weather is getting everyone down

The sun decided to stay out about 5 o'clock....But we lose it by 7 as there are some tall trees that stop it getting though.

I'm surprised they didn't diagnose a virus Mandy, they always say that when they don't know what's wrong.

Was at the crematorium yesterday, it would have been my mum's 88th birthday, we all went, and Finley kept pointing at the same open space, very strange, they do say children can see things us grown ups can't. Then youngest daughter and I spent about 3 hours putting some old home movies on to DVD's. It was lovely to see the children when they were young, you do forget don't you.

My mum was the worst ever for getting peoples names wrong, it was quite embarrassing bringing a boyfriend home and she would run through half a dozen names before she got to his, my dad had the right idea, would call everybody whatshisname, or thingymebob.

Well done to James, I expect he will take a well deserved break for now Jane, so what will he do in the future.

Have been out for an unexpected meal this afternoon. Son and family popped in and they were all off to Na*do's so I went too. Never been before, it was a bit hectic, everyone seemed to be rushing around but it was quite nice, made a change from my boring old salad.

I can relax now.My sister and family are fine.It seems they have been in places where there was no signal on their phones.Yesterday there were at a County Show,and today a Car Boot (selling)getting shot of stuff before they move house.For some reason my messages were not recorded on their Answer phone.Phew! it is a relief.The mind goes all over the place when you can't get in touch.
Mandy I bet that Salvia called hot lips is bright red lol.
Good news that DIL's Dad is back home.Hopefully the Antibiotics will sort the problem out.
Nice bright early evening here
:-D :-D

Me and my chest here!! Well mandy I don't think I would be going to the doc's without my chest!! :-)

I have been up the tunnel watering. Have'nt cleaned the chickens out, thought I would leave that for now.

Fillet steak tonight for dinner with asparagus, carrots, mushrooms and chips or new pots. Nice bottle of red.

I had a contact from OZ today from a distant cousin inquiring about my tree. He is the son of one of mums mums sister. My great aunt I suppose. He said he has photos if I am interested and I replied "yes please". Emailed him back but have'nt heard anything yet.

Afternoon everyone,

Heavy showers on and off here today.

DIL's father is now out of hospital, they're still not sure what caused the funny turns ,he had all the scans and xrays and nothing showed up so he's got some antibiotics to take as there was a slight infection and some pain killers.

Been to a garden centre this afternoon , i was looking for another hand bag to take out with me last night when i looked in one i found some garden tokens for £25 i had for my birthday a few years ago !!!! so i thought i'd better go and spend them , i bought a Hosta ,a Salvia called Hot Lips which is pretty and a pretty Hydrangea , oh and a pot ,all i had to pay was £1.96 !!!!!
Now all i need is some one to tell me what sort of compost i need for potting up the Hydrangea , Mel ??

Fiona, thanks for the photo's , you all look so happy ,glad you enjoyed the day .

Strange about your sister Jane , it's a worry when you carn't get in touch ,especially as you've tried different phones !!

Mel, get yourself off to the doctors with your chest , you don't want to end up in hospital like me !!! mine started off like that , the sooner you can get some thing for it the better .

Kim, nice to catch up with friends and have a BBQ ,not much chance of a BBQ here !! too wet and chilly .

Don't know what we're having for tea if it's i think !!
