Aww Fiona! You poor thing.That must have been very unpleasant for you especially having that long journey back home again.I don't know what a migraine feels like (thank goodness).
We all knew it was going to be a nasty journey weather wise for you.At least you got there for the funeral and got safely home.
Have an easy night and hope you back on form tomorrow.

Chris just rang to say Hannah is on a later train and won't get in to the station until 7.He was there to pick her up at 6.30,so he will have to twiddle his thumbs for a while lol

I had trouble getting on here at about 6.35. I had to go to my inbox in the end and open an email from GR click on the name and I got in that way.

Have been up the tunnel all afternoon after lunch and OH moved my BIG water tank from the top of the tunnel to gown by the archway into the veg garden. It is near the tap from the well now but the water is only dribbling out at a very slow rate.

I thought Fiona was very tired after her journey but I am sorry to hear you had a nasty migraine. I have had those but I don't get a headache with them. Just the fuzzy spot which gets bigger till I can only see the actual bit I am looking at and everyone seems very far away like in a dream. As soon as I get one coming on I go and lay on the bed with my head hanging ver the side near the floor or put my feet up the wall for a while. Sometimes parts of me go numb, like a little finger or two fingers on one hand. I have'nt had one for years now. Bright light can bring them on for me too.

Anyway I am glad you are a bit better now Fiona.

Kim thanks for the video. You would'nt beleive it if you had'nt seen it. they must have been so dizzy after their tumbles. It even blew mum over too!!

I have cleared a great roll of matting stuff we had in the tunnel to cover the ground. Capillary matting OH put down years ago which he cut holes in to plant through. It had all the old plant stuff rolled up in it and I cut it off and put it on the wheelbarrow to move it out as I could'nt carry it. Now I feel all itchy and dirty and dusty as it had sat there rolled up for three years. The mice had chewed some of it up and there was about three mouse nests under it, so beautifully made and lined with this grey matting.
Think I shall probably burn it all.

Sowed a load of seeds and planted some courgettes a veg spaghetti and some peppers. I have to wash and paint some canes for the runners I put in there too. Only ten plants as they don't so too well in the tunnel. They get red spider mite and thats why I paint the canes.

Going for a shower now to get rid of the itches and dust.

Ooh those little ducks!!!!! How they all got back together again and kept marching on was brilliant.I forwarded that to my sons girlfriend .She will love it

I am hoping for a picture of baby Ethan soon.

Evening All,

Migraines can be awful Fiona and so draining. All you want to do is lie down in the dark. I bet you were glad to get home to your bed. I don't seem to get them as much since I have got older. OH gets the sort where you don't get a headache, but get visual disturbances, flashing lights and zigzagging across your vision. He still has to lie down and feels absolutely whacked after though. Mel, I think he gets tingling in his arm/ hand at times

Sorry to hear that about your brother Kim. I have a brother with schizophrenia and it's always at the back of my mind there might be a phone call or knock on the door with bad news one day. Those poor little duckies in the video.....they must have got so dizzy!! Still it all ended well.

Sorry to hear about your eyes Sheila. Good that they keep doing checks though and can take action early if needs be.

I have been and got a gooseberry bush today.......NO FRANK, I'M NOT EXPECTING TO FIND ANYTHING UNDER IT!! lol :O :O It is virtually thornless, has red fruit and is suitable for small gardens it says on the label so we'll see how it goes.

If you lived nearer I could give you a SHARP haircut like OH's with the hair trimmer!!! lol He asked me what my business was called and I told him 'Short Cuts' !! lol It's a 'NO FRILLS' service though. lol

Hi All
Ann I get both the headaches and the visual disturbances , starts just like your OH flashing lights, zigzagging, then numbness down the same side as the zigzagging , then pins and needles in face and hand all down the same side, then the headache comes last but on the opposite side of the head.
As a child from the age of 9 when they first started I was physically sick but that does not happen any more. but the pills I take make me drowsy and I feel like a zombie the next day.
Mine are all down to stress and tension. and over tiredness.

Still very windy here we had hailstones this afternoon and the rain hardly ever stops,
Daughter no 2 and boyfriend have gone to visit boyfriends parents in Inverness tonight, they own a big Hotel in Nairn, will be home on Friday,

Opps been forgetting my Quotations tut tut :-(

<3 Be slow in choosing friends, slower still in changing them <3

Good to see your'e back Fiona

OH was doing some invigilating at a written exam in Portugese at a school today. They gave him his ID badge with his name and photo on. Instead of it saying 'Invigilator', they spelled it 'Invigulater'. Not much hope of the children learning to spell properly is there??

I saw that Strangeways programme last night. They seemed to take a long time deciding that poor man was really ill and not faking it.

I'm off to see the interview with Prince Phillip now...........hope you all have a restful night's sleep......night, night and be back tomorrow. xx

That's bad Ann (spelling)!!! I wonder who made up the badge.
I watch Strangeways .Hannah said that when she worked in Prison,some prisoners are just amazing at faking anything,especially mental illness!

I think I will take myself off up to bed with my book now.
Last night I had a dream where there was a little pig in our garden and it was digging up the lawn.Someone pegged it up by it;s tail on the washing line ,so I rushed to get it down ..............then I took it to the butchers shop!!!.I think I thought he would look after it.Why do we have these weird dreams??.I wonder what it will be tonight.
See you all again tomorrow.Night Night xx

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

See you tomorrow.

God Bless.

goodnight everyone, I am really tired and need my bed.
Night night

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 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.

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 . :-)

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 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"

<3 Life is partly what we make it, and partly what is made by the friends whom we choose <3

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
