SNAP JANE. Pasta for us also.
Have just rung my Nephew to say we won't be down next week, he seemed disappointed, but we have said we will go to his house later next month. He understood I can't do a lot of walking around.
Nice cloudless evening here at the moment. We had a shower earlier, but not as much as they promised.
Hope the Wedding goes of alright tomorrow. NO FAMILY PUNCH UP'S :-D :-D :-D
Knee is swollen this evening, I haven't been doing anything but rest it all day. I have been doing my exercises as well.
I going to settle down now in the conservatory to watch FOOTBALL. I take it Jane will be joining me :-D :-D :-D

I expect i will have a huge box of safety pins too tomorrow as i bet you carn't buy just a few !! Yes i looked at son wedding photo and he's wearing his buttonhole on the left .
Oh lets hope James and Jess don't bring a few fleas home from the cats, i know when we went to some of the Greek islands the poor cats looked so thin the dogs too,they would hang about the tavernas waiting for titbits they knew people would feed them.
I feel quite chilly now ,think we will need the duvet back on the bed tonight ,we have just had the duvet cover over us the past few weeks .
Do hope William and Carmel are ok ,it's been quite a while since we heard from him,anyone seen him on FB ??

Mandy I never realised there was a right side to wear the buttonholes.But is is left for the men?.I have a huge box of safety pins here :-D.What time is the wedding? I hope everything stays calm with the bride and her mum now.But I bet there will be a lot of butterflies fluttering in tummies.
I haven't spoken to my sister yet today but hope all is clear now in the house.The dogs had to stay an extra night at the kennels. James sent me a few more pics and says he has hired a car to get around the island. He has to keep remembering to drive on the right !!!!!.The car is a bit of a banger (as he put it) but says the brakes work lol.The roads are a bit greasy because of the intense heat so i think he is going carefully.Jess seems to have made friends with the hundreds of stray cats.James is amazed at the numbers and is not a major cat fan !! He will have a hard job dragging Jess away from them.
It is a lovely evening even if a tad on the cool side.Clear blue skies :-D

I'm here now Frank .Been a busy bee with housework :-D :-D :-D.I just realised it is nearly 6 :-0.Cleared out a couple of big pots in the front and got rid of the lobelia and geraniums did a bit of weeding too.
Good job you managed to get a suit for your son Mandy.Just in the nick of time lol Is your old floor tiles? When our old one had to come up last year the chap had to go away and get a special machine to get them up.They actually had to be smashed as they were just too stuck.
When I stay with Hannah tomorrow night I will have to share her bed,and suddenly realised I really should have something sleep in.So I bought a pair of jimmy bottoms this morning and will just wear a thin t shirt on top.I sleep in the altogether these days and can't imagine she would appreciate that lol.I would give her nightmares :-S It has been nice to have had a cool day today.But no rain came and i thought we were due to have some.
We are having Pasta tonight and I need to quickly do some mushrooms and lardons to go in the sauce.

Afternoon all,
I was in bed before 10.00 pm last night and slept till 19.30 am this morning. I feel like a wet week now.
I am going to wrap my knee in cling film and have a shower. (I do miss it) Ros said if the dressings get wet, we have plenty, so can replace them. BUT DON'T GET SOAP IN THE CUTS.
I think we had a drop of rain in the night, as the air feels damp. and it's very cloudy, so I suppose we will get it (RAIN) later.
I'm off to the shower, and get shaved, Lovely feeling when it's all done. Tracky bottoms and T shirt today. If I get to warm it will be back to shorts.

Morning Everyone, evening Kim
Been raining here a little but we are forecast for some heavy down pours, the sky is totally covered in thick cloud, neighbours across the road are having there chimney breast re-plastered and the rough casted (?) , all the old plaster just fell off, hope it doesn't down pour or it won't set.
just finished the last of my ironing mainly t.shirts which don't take long to do.
Mandy hope you get your kitchen floor sorted, OH has asked me to make a list of all the inside jobs that need doing, he is finely happy with outside jobs completed for the time being. I want him to finish off some of the paint work that still needs doing in the kitchen & dining room AND back porch, mostly doors and woodwork, if he gets started while its still mild outside it won't be too cold when he has to leave the windows open while the paint dries, some of the gloss paint makes me feel sick.

Morning all,
Bit cloudy here today ,we had a fine drizzle first thing but that was not enough to wet the ground ,still muggy though.
Ann, hope your gums are not so sore today after the extractions ,why is it after you've had teeth out you keep putting your tongue over the hole when not supposed too ....it's like we just have to make sure the tooth has gone :-D
Mel, is it some thing you've have eaten that's upset your tum ? they always say eggs are binding so they should help ,although they can give you wind !! :-S
Well the suit didn't fit so we toddled off to Norwich yesterday in all the heat !! son bought a nice Charcoal grey suit in Slat*rs ,they were so helpful and not at all pushy like some shops ,but my goodness we took the stairs as the lift was so tiny and dark and it was two floors up !! i have to say we came down in the lift as the heat in that staircase was dreadful!! Had to get DIL a bra from B*S she wanted one that you can take the straps off as her dress for the wedding is off the shoulder ....so that was some thing else left till the last moment !! It seems that the bride and her mother are speaking again now thank goodness ,all down to the stress!! lets just hope it stays dry .
I had to smile yesterday ,they all had to go for the rehearsal at the church and Chelsea was telling me that she has to walk one way and THE TOY BOYS have to walk the other way :-D :-D :-D :-D no sweetheart i said i think you mean THE PAGE BOYS !! :-D :-D :-D :-D
Well i'am now going to have a go at getting some of the the old kitchen flooring up!! It's really stuck down !! we've tried scrapers and now we're using a chisel !!! :-S :-S it's coming off in tiny little bits !!!! i can only do a little at a time as it's really hurting my hands ,i think hubby's hoping to finish it off tonight so he can start laying tiles on sunday .
Oh suns coming out !! :-D

Morning and Evening Everyone,
Yes, I'd forgotten about fiddle faddle!!
Hope your tum soon feels better Mel. Light meals for now. I always fancy poached eggs when I'm a bit iffy.
I slept right through till 4.00am and then woke with a splitting headache. I drank some water then lay in bed till 5.30am, then got up, looked out the window and saw the new ginger cat making his way home. I went and made a cuppa and had 2 tablets and am fine now. I think I may have been a bit dehydrated.
The alarm man has been and it was MORE EXPENSE than just a service. The outside alarm sound had fizzled out to a quiet whirr so we have had to have a new outside box!! :-S It is a better one though and has a number on it to phone if you are away and it is driving the neighbours mad.
I have booked my car in for it's MOT a week on Monday. The headlamp cover has gone a bit foggy on the top edge so I might have to have a new one of those for it to pass..... :-S
We had a good shower here from 6.00am to about 9.ooam so everything is fresher now and the birds are scurrying about seeing what they can find to eat. The old radishes I haven't pulled out are covered in Cabbage White caterpillars. I may as well leave them now....even pests have to eat and I have no cabbages for them to be a nuisance.
We are out for lunch, so I think some tidying away first....nice to do a few jobs without sweltering after a few minutes. :-)

Morning/Evening All
Mel hope your dicky tum sorts itself out soon.It is so dark here this morning.There looks like there has just been a very little rain in the night. The birds are all going crazy at the moment.Lots of Blackbirds on the lawn pulling up worms and the robins and tits are flying back and forth at a rate of knots lol
I need to go to the Post Office this morning and then I think it will have to be some housework :-S :-P.It has been too hot the last few days to do much. So I will get moving and grooving................ Thought of something in the night that I haven't heard for a long time and that is..............FIDDLE FADDLE

Yes, get your NURSE'S HAT on Jane and sort them out! :-)
Frank, they are back teeth so you wouldn't see if I did :-D thank goodness. I should have brought them home and left them out for the Tooth Fairy shouldn't I. ;-) OH ended up seeing the same Dentist as me as his had gone home sick. He said he asked OH how I was now and told him he has an infection, so its antibiotics for the next few days.
I got seen very quickly for my mammogram and was shepherded straight in to undress and into the 'clamps'. It seems to be a new machine as I didn't have to stand on tiptoe this time. I was in and out before my appointment was due......just as well as the minimum carpark charge is £1.50.
It's a shame Katherine wasn't successful this time Fiona, but she's showing the right attitude and is at least getting a few interviews which gives her more chance than by not trying. You need to have 'your hat in the ring' as OH would say.
There was a lovely red sunset here tonight, which seems at odds with the rain they've forecast for tomorrow. I seem to have lived in my shorts this summer.
Another early start tomorrow......the alarm man will be here at 8.30am to service it.

Mel ,Dry toast for you lol .Can you just do the mince with some sauce and rice for OH Not your sheep sh** ,but something like a bolognese ?
Well Janice has arrived home from the cruise to find her lounge infested with fleas!!!!!!! She knew the dogs had 'visitors' and de flea'd them before they went to kennels ,sprayed the house and carpets with flea spray just before they left.They have had to get some firm to come and de flea.So she and her OH are staying with her daughter tonight .Costing them £120 !! to get rid of the little blighters.The vet said said the Frontlin* flea deterrent is not working so well (pets are becoming immune to it). Hopefully Janice and Larry will be able to go home to a flea free house tomorrow . What a lovely homecoming :-S :-S

Jane,you may recall 16 Nov 1994 I was knocked from my bicycle by a Volvo on a round about.Pelvic and leg injuries etc.Hospitalised then away from work for months.
I got a fright.The driver of the Volvo that didn't give way must have got a bigger fright!

O dear Fiona what a shame about your daughters application for the other job. It must be disappointing for her but at least she keeps trying, bless.

It has cooled right down here and become cloudy.
I have put my barrow extension up at the gate as I had so much stuff the little table would'nt hold it all. Much more room now thank goodness.
Yes 2 naughty boys fiddling around with their dressings. I would give you both a smack bottom if I did'nt think you would enjoy it!! :-|
Well I don't knwo what I am going to do for dinner. I got mince out but I still seem to have a bit of an upset tum and don't really want anything much but what I am going to do for oh??????????????

Naughty boy Frank :-S :-S :-S.Getting dinner and changing dressings. You and Fitz both need to sit on the NAUGHTY STEP.2 naughty boys together ;-) I don't think you should be taking the dressings off As you might leave it open to infection.Leave it alone and if it leaks just put another dressing on top until it is seen by Nurse or Dr.....Just behave :-D
I have cooled off now,only because the fan is just right next to me.It does seem to be getting cloudy so maybe the rain will start overnight.Jut opened my tin of lip salve and it is almost liquid :-S :-S
I'm just remembering those hot summers as child and spending each day down on the beach after school .When it was really hot all the Mums would make up a picnic and we would have tea on the beach with lots of other families.It would be like a party :-D.Oh they were happy days . :-D :-D
