For All We Know"

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again

We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripple on a stream

So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was meant for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
We know

So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was meant for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
We know

Hi All
Yes it's a really chilly wind, we was late getting out to do the weekly shopping tonight and didn't get home till after nine, and it seemed to take ages to put all the food away,

Little madam was asleep when her mamma left for work and I ended up having to wake her up or she would not sleep tonight , she was in a bit of a mood, because I woke her up, but took only about 15mins to come round , she sat on my knee and watched the TV then decided she wanted to make a catterpillar picture that I had cut out using coloured circles and a feltip pen & glue, she was really happy with that and it is now on my freezer door for everyone to see.

well I am way to get a drink then it's off to bed.

night night

Just home from the club, walked up and back. Wouldn't get Ros out tonight. That wind was enough to cut you in half. I went out in my overcoat, gloves and scarf. with a small hat on, but my ears were frozen.

I see it's between Mark and Dougie for the Jungle. Don't like either of them.

Good night all

Morning All,

Been very windy here and pouring with rain again last night. Today is about the same..........

Scaffolders are supposed to come today to get ready for the fit which should be on the 5th.

Good to see everyone chatting away but it took me ages to catch up with your posts. You had been busy yesterday.

I have been searching for my wreath rings that I had left from last year. I did have them in the garage but with oh clearing it out for the rebuild he has put everything away in different places and I don't know where they are :-|

We have had two pheasents up the top of the garden sparring away for three days now. They don't even move when you drive up there and they are on the road!! One waits on top of the wall surveying his territory and waiting for the other one to come through the achway. Then it starts. All this standing side by side and nodding their heads and dancing round. One wing down facing the other pheasent to make themselves look bigger than the other. They are so funny to watch.

Fiona it is nice that Sophia enjoys making things at this early age. She will be quite well on her way to being artistic when she starts school.

OH has been complaing about my keyboard again as I have worn all the letters off it and he dos'nt know where the keys are!!!!! He has'nt got the message yet that he could buy me a knew on for Christmas :-D I have no e, r, t, a, n, half an m half an s and d and g and h.

Hi Folks!!

OH is on his way to Cheltenham for a match today so I'm 'home alone' as Frank would say.

I bet it is comical to watch the pheasants Mel. Around here, all they seem to do is dare each other to cross rthe road!! :-S Reminds me of a money saving programme I'd recorded and watched last night. One man had road kill barbeques. Pheasant, pigeon, badger, rabbit, deer and squirrel kebabs!! I suppose it is all healthier, free roaming and eating nutritious food, rather than what we get at the supermarket. Didn't make me want some though.

It has been lovely and sunny and warmer here this morning. I hope it stays nice for Jane's trip today. I might nip out with my camera soon.

My keyboard only has half an 'n' and 'a' Mel, but it is OH who is heavy handed with them!

Afternoon everyone,

What a lovely sunny morning we've had, not a cloud in the sky ,but now there's black clouds looming and the wind seems to have got up a bit .

Frank it sounds like you could do with one of those Balaclavas ,that would keep you warm ,you'll have to get Ros to knit you one ,only trouble is people will think your going out on the rob !!!!! LOL
A Deer Stalker hat might be better :-D

We have lots of road kill round here,don't think i would fancy eating it though ,its probably had rats all over it !! ,i have even seen small Deer on the side of the road ,and had deer jump out in front of the car as we've driven along ,that's quite a fright i can tell you , also they can do a lot of damage to the car .

Hope Jane and Chris enjoy their day with Hannah, i bet she comes home with all sorts of goodies .

I hope hubby will get the Christmas things from the loft this afternoon ,i want to see what baubles i have as i've seen a bauble wreath i thought i might have a go at making , its just a wire coat hanger bent round in a circle and all the baubles threaded on , i've seen some in the shops and the were £25 !!! so i'am going to have a go at making one !!

Better get hubby a cuppa ,got to keep him sweet if i want him to go in the loft LOL

FRANK fancy you being a twin lovely yes war did come what did I do to deserve a friend like that .

Jane I did not get any help to load the car and the beer cases are heavy some of the crisps and sweets and things are light of course but the foreign people in the warehouse mostly argue over every penny they spend.

I have had to do the shop Amanda and last night the cash register was playing up so I had to work things out with a calculator and my maths well say no more. I was expecting this lunch time for all the customers to return saying I had over charged them but only did ten minutes and Michelle asked her hubby to take over which was nice.

Mel my fairy godmother sent me a lovely card with a robin and a post box
it was a lovely surprise THANK YOU MEL. I do love robins and Kim sent a robin too. I have a confession my cards are not made this year out of the blue my craft club I attend when I have time sent me cards and
really strange cards victorian punk age themes with Xmas added the Victorians were interested in ther start of flying machines and travel and some weird cards and things have come out with men in goggles riding strange bikes and things with wings all in gold and black .Striking but weird for christmas there was holly and birds all mixed up with it. Anyway I had to send my made cards to them not expecting a single card serves me right did not give them a thought. !!!

So I rushed out and bought some nice charity cards for everyone I knew that was not crafty if you will excuse the expressssion. they are for the soldiers serving abroad a nice gesture . So will have to get writing this week end my friend Annie I forgot last year and she was not a happy bunnie. I thought she was off on a visit somewhere strange she loves to travel to these weird places in between living in Stratford and I thought she
was in Africa somewhere but its next year. Thats if she does not faint at the jabs she gets like she did twice.

ANNX you make me laugh I hate cellars and your memory of one is like mine my uncle Tom had a celler and it scared me to death and nobody
would fight over me like Beryl what is it about her she claims to have no money but the old gal does seems to have a rustic charm and her dress sense makes me cringe but the men seem to like it. April thinks auntie Beryl is a cool cookie. .Well you remember the guy I had a crush on he did not even remember me. To think I loved him all those months in the school lab I should have blown him up we had to make some stuff that exploded not that we ex-ploded anything. It smelt awful I remember. My ho
is not romantic more like a plank He says I love this beer or gosh could have a love affair with these crisps they are great. charming.

Kim I am sorry your not well again TAKE CARE.

Someone remembered that song for all we know great the words are sweet do not know that song.

Well Fatima and Tone went out the jungle so who will win my lovely Duggie or Mark it will be him I reckon.He flexes those lovely muscles
and the girls here swoon.

Well bye for now I hope I will be lucky to pucker my lips for a mistletoe kiss
with my big lump on them. I look like I have grown another mouth my ho would say something about that .Have a lovely day.

Hi Everyone,
A friend of mine who I used to work with at the nursery as opened her own craft shop and today was the opening day , so I went to visit her this afternoon , it's a great shop full of handmade crafts, toys, fancy things for Christmas, bought two little red buckets full of lavender and have ordered a flag banner with Sofia on, it will look great in her bedroom.

I've bought a few more Christmas presents today for my neice & sister -in -Law. and a few decorations to replace broken ones from last year.

Better go and wrap up the presents before daughter & boyfriend arrive for dinner.
