Glad your OH managed to get away Fiona.It's a bit of to do this ash problem isn't it.

Shirl.I had to send that pic of Ethan with his hat askew .it looks so funny.Apparently it kept slipping lol.He looks like a boy.Sometimes you can't tell ,unless they are in blue or pink.
I feel happy now I have spoken to Rachel.I did say though for her to grab a bit of sleep when Ethan is asleep.She doesn't need to worry about housework as they have a maid (which is normal out there).My biggest worry is the 2 dogs they have.They are going to have to be very careful ,especially with one of them.

I am going to be off shortly.Got another good book,plus I just want to get into bed.I seem to go early these days.Does it mean I'm getting old ? lolol

Hi All
Just watched a silly film on TV while I was having my dinner. now I am going for a relaxing bath.

Frank , My OH managed to get a flight to Paris this morning. but only yesterday he was having problems getting to crew on the train because of the high winds all the trains were cancelled, it was touch and go if he would fly at all today as we weren't sure if there would be any flights out of Edinburgh airport, because of the ash cloud but the news was that all flights out of Scotland were back to normal from 2am this morning so everything is fine, and thankfully he will manage to get home tomorrow night as well
it seems that the ash cloud is floating over to Germany at the moment but could be back over UK on Friday !!!

Glad Rachel & the baby in Dubai are fine Jane, you must be relieved to hear her sound so happy.

<3 Don't bore your friends with your troubles. Tell them to your enemies, who will be delighted to hear about them <3

JANE--HE'S A CUTIE-- AND SUCH A DAPPER DAN WITH HIS CAP
COCKED ON THE SIDE LIKE THAT - XXXXHA HA

MEL WITH ALL THE WORK YOU DO I' THINK YOU CAN FAFF IF YOU LIKE ---AS FOR ME I'D BE IN A COMA.LOL XX

LEGS SLAPPED ''YES-PLESE'' WITH LEATHER!!!!!! HA HA

HAD UP THROUGH THE CENTER OF TREE CUT AWAY ALL DEAD WOOD GONE HAS OPEDNED IT UP.SO THATS DONE ----

THINKING ABOUT A CUPPA AND WHEN DURING THE WAR ((NO-FRANK-NOT-BOAR WAR) WE ONLY GOT 2oz TEA EACH A WEEK IT WAS RAITIONED HARD TO BELIEVE .

Well the last 3 hours I seem to have been on the phone.First was Rachel from Dubai.So I have heard the whole story from when her waters broke, to taking the dogs to the Kennels at 3am on the way to hospital (took them half an hour for someone to wake up and take the dogs)whilst Rachel was having contractions every 10 minutes !! to the birth.She sounds a very happy Mummy ,but a very tired one.
Then just after I put the phone down from her I had a call from an old friend(she is 72) to say she had to have her lovely Border Terrier called Widget put to sleep on Monday.She is devastated .Also she has had a thing removed from her shoulder which has been shown to be skin cancer.It was only last year she had a Mastectomy for Breast Cancer.She is a tough cookie and I'm sure she will bounce back.
Now I need to think about putting some grub on for dinner.It's all go here lol

Well I have faffed about all day and not got anything done!!

I did pick up OH's new back light he ordered after backing into something last week. £92.40 !!!!!!!!!

Still trying to fill up my big tank but there dos'nt seem to be much water left in the well as it is only dribbling out at a very slow rate.
At the moment if I now want to water the plants in the tunnel I have to walk about 20 yards down to the tank and then back to the tunnel. Before it was just outside the top doors so I only had to walk up and down the tunnel. OH has a big pump in the tank but it only has a hose on it at the mo and that dos'nt get to the tunnel.

Frank I am so sorry that Ros is in such pain, do give her my love and I hope the new medication will help once she is on it.

Hallo you checky little B How's Canada. ??? It's a good job you are so far away, as I can see you could be in for slapped legs. I know you would like that !!!!!

Jane you made my toes curl, when you said about Chester getting in the front garden. Many years ago when living in Gayton. Ros was in the front garden with "TWIGGY" our little brown poodle. When a visitor pulled up opposite the house which was on a country lane. Twiggy decided to run out to see who it was, and squeezed through the hedge straight into a car coming down the lane. She is burried in that back garden with a headstone !!!! Please look after Chester .

Did you all enjoy the little ducklings being blown along in the wind. It's a wonder the survived.

Was looking for a drop of wet stuff, but nothing, so I have been watering. now the suns gone in.Everywhere is so dry, I bet it's this wind thats drying everything out !!

Leek Pie for dinner tonight. Nice and easy, and olny a dish and saucepan to wash up. !!!!! Apart from plates etc, and cleaning down the cooker and worktops.

No football tonight on tele, so will stay in a keep Ros company.


Annx, Don't blame the OH. the last thing he wants is to get into a punchup with kids.!!!

Fiona, you are certainly getting your share of the rain, up there. Has the "DUST" from Iceland had any effect on you. ????

Hi All----MG sounde like we could be twins or triplets Dr thought i had Migrains turns out i have what's called ''Clusters' also your the first ones to mention the zigzagging in the eyes like I get.----
And that sounds like the pain poor Ros has every day can only pray something can be done for her.

My that movie Drageon wyck is as old as me did see when first came out.

Mel do you rent out Mr Mel talk about a handy man WOW. XXX
WENT LIKE A BAT OUT 'O' HELL Yesterday picked up my paint hope weather holds and can dry out things so i can pain them.

How are you doing Twinkle Toes''( FRANK)--- LOL XXX
MUST GO TREE MAN HERE.

Well `I have just come in from pulling up a lot of bluebell plants that have died off.They look a mess,but are so easy to pull out.It was in the front garden ,and Chester was in the back by the side gate.I think he could hear me ,but because he couldn't see me started barking his head off.Naughty boy.I daren't let him in the front just in case he dashed out the gateway if he saw anyone walk by .He is like a bullet out of gun lol

I hope Ros is not in so much pain today Frank and that she can soon start taking the new tablets.Please tell her we all think about her.

Kim I'm sorry you had that sad news.Did June live near you?
I think it is time for a cuppa and then I will have another go out the front.

Afternoon All,

Sorry to hear your news Kim. Sometimes when you think back to happy times it is hard to believe it when these things happen. I am enjoying the e-mails too......and everyone else's. :D

Oh dear, I do feel sorry for Ros Frank being in so much pain like that. I do hope these new tablets help.

I had an awful night, nose and bloodshot eyes streaming and face and jaws aching, kept waking up. I don't know if my bad throat has turned into a cold or it is hayfever. Anyway, taken hayfever tablet and paracetomol this morning and it has helped a lot.

Forgot to say yesterday, when OH was walking to where the exam was with another lady, a boy ran up to him and said, 'please Sir, there's a fight over there'. lol Luckily the lady told the boy to go and find a teacher. I think OH was glad.......he said they were BIG lads!! lol

Hi just had my lunch, but was expecting daughter no 1 and Sofia down, but just had a text from daughter saying Sofia fallen asleep so she will be down later to drop Sofia off before she goes to work.
Less windy but chilly and wet.
Feeling better today Mandy. but not overdoing it.

BBL

Morning to one and all,

Bl###y phone woke us this morning, answered it. and a recorded voice said "GOODBYE" Where do these things come from ???

Had a lovely pair of KIPPERS for breakfast. The bungalow stinks. All doors and windows open and Ros has been around with the spray.!!!!

Childhood memory, When we had Herrings, kippers, or any oilly fish, we always took the knives and forks into the garden and rubbed them in the earth. Mum said it took the taste of fish off them. Then of course they were washed in the normal way. Anyone else remember that.????

Ros, had a very bad day with her back/leg yesterday. She managed to hobble around with me in town. Then she broke down and cried. "I can't live like this for the rest of my life" We got back to the car and drove straight to the doctor's. She cried at the receptionest, please help get rid of this pain.!!! The Doctor produced another course of tablets, the trouble is she has to wean herself off the ones she is taking before she can start the new ones. So today she is going to be so uncomfortable. She can start the new ones tomorrow.

Nice morning here now, Blue skys and fluffy clouds. must go and look round the "ESTATE"

BBL

Just had some sad news, my father's cousin died on the weekend. Such a lovely lady - I had so many laughs over so many lunches with her and dad adored her. A bit of a shock as I was looking at some photos of her the other day.

Jane glad you are enjoying them. Frank sends me some really good ones that I have been passing on. Mel thanks for letting me know, I will not send them any more.

I will have to go and make some phone calls now about June, let some family know.

Kim

Morning Everyone.
Just had a jolly good chuckle at your emails Kim !!!
It is another nice day,blue sky and white clouds.Hopefully it will stay like it.

No Frank No Wacky Baccy lol.Just think if I have weird dreams without that just imagine the ones I'd have with lolol.No pigs last night.I did dream but can't really remember it very clearly.
I'm heading off to the post office,and while I'm there an going to take a pic of my friends cottage .It looks so pretty at the moment.Then I am taking Fitz to the garage to pick his car up and from there I am popping over to Market Harborough .So will be back about lunch time . :-)

Morning All,

I still can't get into GR the proper way and when I go into my GR mail I now have a white box with a red X in the corner where the GR logo should be. I clicked on the x and got in that way.

Kim may I please ask you not to send me forwarded jokes please? My OH dos'nt me getting them as my email addy is added to many more. Thanks.

Dry today and the delivery of more sand and cement should arrive today so OH can get on with the build. He ran out so has'nt been able to do anything since Saturday.

Hi everyone,

Bugger and blast it - just lost the lot. Frank, yes I'm having problems with my posts, don't think it is me. It has been sitting here for a couple of hours and now it's gone. No one has used the computer, but me.

I will go and have tea, watch Home and Away and just start again. State of Origin tonight - rugby league New South Wales and Queensland, not a pretty sight!!!! I used to watch a lot of soccer (sorry football) when I was with my first husband - loved Kenny Dalgleish.

Home made lasagne (spelling?) tonight - another Keith special.

Hope you are all well - any more pigs last night Jane? haha so funny :D Fiona do hope you have recovered from the trip and your migraine. I get them too, along with my daughter.

Bye for now, time to eat. Kim

Morning
Had a good night sleep and feeling almost normal. Meeting friends for coffee.
BBL :-)

Night night

Jane Can I have whatever you are taking. Is it wacky baccy ????
