Morning all/ evening Kim,
We had rain in the night, and with all my watering the back garden looks a treat.
Carolyn bought round two carrier bags of poppy heads , Ros has been shaking them into a pot, she will throw them around the back of the boarders (She loves her poppies)
Should be a nice morning for you and Hannah to catch up over a coffee and a bit of lunch. It must be lovely to have a one to one with your children !!! Never had it and never will :-( :-(
I can just see MOTHER HEN steering her "BABIES" up the stairs to bed :-D :-D thinking, I can have a bit of peace and quite now. ;-) ;-) ;-)
Ros is down the boarder again this morning .wedding and tidying up.
Why I think of it wye Val# garden centres have a seed sale ALL HALF PRICE. So if you want seeds for next year, now's your chance
Knee is a absolute Bugg## again this morning, nearly went over as I went into the bathroom, it just locks up on me .
Anyone got any plans for today ?? I think it will be to breezy to sit outside, so will curl up with my book on the sofa.
Roast Chicken tonight, took it out of the freezer yesterday, will prepare that and the veg later..

Morning All and Evening Kim,
Been raining this morning but at the mo its dry so I thought I would chance the washing out. Went to the machine to get it out and the clothes were very wet so put it on for another spin. Sucked out and thought it was spinning but when I looked the drum was'nt moving. You could hear it spinning!! So I suppose I shall have to have the MAN out, more expence!!!!! to quote our Frank......... :-( :-( :-( :-| :-| :-|
Nothing unusual on the camera this morning. When there is I will send it.
Last night as the chicks were going up the wooden stairs they were all lined up on the ramp with mum behind. It was a picture but by the time I had come in for the camera they had mostly gone up so I shall have to have a look tonight and have the camera with me.
Enjoy your day out Jane.

Morning/Evening All
It feels very close this morning and is more cloudy than it was earlier. Hannah and I are going to go to Beckwor** Empori** a little later .I thought it might be nice to have a bit of lunch and get something nice for dinner from the butchers dept.
Frank I think I have a bit of Brisket in the freezer.I must remember it is there and cook it soon. I must feed the birds now and fill up the birdbath .I think the big Wood Pidgeons sit in it and it all sloshes out :-S

Evening all,
Glad Hannah is home in the security of the family, I'm sure she feels so much better having you around Jane. Chirs has the right idea, has he taken a bottle with him. ???
I had Green Thum# back this morning over little burnt patches on the lawn. I think it was caused by the last treatment. He has treated the areas with a gel, that had to be watered in this evening. I have had the sprinkler on since 4.30 pm and moved it around and have just turned it off. NOW IT'S RAINING. sods law.
I did a piece of Brisket of beef for dinner tonight. I prepared in this morning with the Veg. and put it in the oven at 2.00 pm for FOUR hours. It was smashing, you didn't need to cut it, It was so moist and flavoursome. Nothing wrong with a cheap cut of meat if it's cooked right. (NO MEAT IS CHEAP) !!
Mandy, the forecast isn't that bad for Friday, it's tomorrow we are getting the rain :-( :-(. We do need it. So lets hope you have a good day on Friday.
Will, Ros had a little trolley when she worked in Northampton. Every Friday she would take "LITTLE WILLEY" (as she called it) to the market to get all the veg. it was so easy for her, rather than carrying bags of veg. You aught to get one, a lot lighter than humping bags around. and you could pace yourself with Carmel.
You reminded me of RAF days, I was stationed with "HUNTERS" on a Pilots training station. Quite a number over shot the runway and ended up in the farmers field. Those were the days. !!!
Will sit and watch a bit of the match tonight. England V Scotland. The matches don't seem to be as good as they were years ago.. Perhaps I'm getting old. !!

Glad to hear it was good news from the hospital William, those little shopping trolleys are good for heavy shopping ,it's surprising how much they can hold ,good for helping you along too.
Oh dear Jane, poor Hannah, a good old cry can work wonders ,looks like you are in for quite a week end <3
The weather is not looking too good for our trip to the Zoo on friday , brolly's will be needed i think :-S The sky's not looking too good now ,it's a bit grey !!
I picked a nice bowl of tomatoes today ,and the runners we had for tea were nice too.

Mandy you are having a hectic time with all the outings.It all sounds good fun :-D Hope the weather stays good for Friday.
William that is great news for you :-D and a relief like you say.Have you thought about ordering your shopping on line ? I don't know where you do your food shopping ,but Tes** and other supermarkets do home deliveries.Might be worth thinking about if it makes life easier for you.
Just having a little breather now........goodness me what a tearful time we have had.I'm sure there will be more,but for now everyone has gone off to different parts of the house ,just to gather themselves.Chris is in the Summerhouse.He has the best place lol...I am doing the cooking which will keep me out of mischief for a while :-D

Hi folks, tis me again, and a happy bunny I am. I hope nobody tries to slag off our local hospital or the National Health to me. It was a week ago Monday past that I was in my doctors surgery and he rang the hospital over my 'mens water works' problem. I went on Saturday for the cystoscopy which I think I mentioned, remember, home again within the hour armed with fish & chips! Yesterday I had to go back for an ultra sound scan & an abdomen X-ray - and again was out within the hour. This morning the urology specialist nurse phoned at 10am and told me that the consultant had reviewed my results and that all was clear and there was no need to attend the clinic. I can breath a sigh of relief and be thankful that it has all gone so swiftly and so well.
Poor Carmel is finding harder to walk around these days and has resulted to using her walking stick. The only problem is it makes her so slow (she's slow without it, bless her) so means that any shopping I carry gets heavier and heavier. I must result to taking the shopping trolley in future methinks. She went to see the doctor about it this morning, she is in a lot of bodily pain, but on the surface there doesn't seem to be an underlying problem. I guess they just put it all down to 'old age'.
Not much else to report, I must get round to emailing my next set of boring sky photos. I'm sorry to say there won't be any of the meteors that we are hearing so much about. I think the only Meteor's for me are the ones I worked on in the RAF LOL.

Afternoon all,
Sorry to hear about Hannah , I hope she can work out her problems, it's not fair she has had so many ups & downs over the years. Give her lots of loving Jane.
Well there's been a few tears shed here yesterday. no it wasn't me it was My hubby, :-0 :-(he received very sad news that a very close work colleague (man) had passed away over the weekend, the news has stunned everybody who worked with this man. as he was only 49 and was a keen cyclist who did a lot of cycling for charity,so he had a lot in common with my Hubby who also loves cycling, and they would chat for ages discussing the Cycling on the tv ,TOUR DE FRANCE & the Italian cycling. when it was on. The poor man died of a heart attack, , that is what has stunned everyone, he was so young and so fit, he leaves a young wife, and 2 teenage children, very sad :-( :-(
Well I better make some lunch , been out for coffee this morning , had a good moan , so am ready for something to eat.

In the doghouse then are we Frank :-| :-| Mel I will give Hannah an extra hug from you.But won't say it's from you as I'm sure she wouldn't want me really telling peeps much.But as we have said many times before on here it is good to share things sometimes because it does help. They are already on the way back .James must have driven like the wind !.He is a good brother and thank god he was here to be able to take the car.I wouldn't have the confidence to drive to London on my own,plus James said I would only be fretting and flapping so thought it best he went on his own. I'm going to suggest she goes to bed and has a good sleep before any talking is done as I don't think she has slept properly for ages.
It has just come over all cloudy,and it was lovely and sunny :-S.I have bought extra boxes of tissues as I know we will all need them.My heart is in my mouth right now (if that is the right expression).
I better go now as it won't be long before they arrive.I'll take a few deep breaths I think and have a walk down the garden.Chris is wandering around doing nothing :-S Sorry to be a bit of a misery.

Morning all/Evening Kim,
I not in the good books this morning. Ros had to go and collect the perscription's from the docs this morning. I said while you are there can you make me an appointment to see the nurse for my injection. She came back and said the 1st doctor's appointment I can get is 28th Aug. I blew up, and said I don't want to see the B doctor. I want the NURSE> With that she said do it your B self. which I did, she now in a huff !!!
Jane that might be the best thing for Hannah, a few days away from everything.
Ann, you can only hope they won't be to strict on the boundary of the show, and that you can enter. Do you have anything like it in your own village. ???
We had a few spots of rain last night, but not enough to do any good. I will have to water tonight, if we don't get any.
Think I will go and find something to do in the garden. OUT OF THE WAY>

Morning/Evening All,
Oh dear Jane, it looks like you need to add tissues to your Te*co list. Things don't sound good, but hopefully it will do her good to have a few days with you and get her thoughts in perspective. It sounds like the troubles are the last thing she expected and must be very upsetting. Such a shame just after that lovely holiday she had. If it isn't to be, then better to know now, which I know won't be any consolation for her at the moment.
The entry form asks for your address so yes they will know I'm just outside the boundary!! Last year they relaxed the rules and extended to near here, but not actually here!! lol Well, they can only say no can't they. :-)
Must dash.....arrival of MIL and FIL imminent and I haven't got my lippy on yet. I have a feeling the next few hours may be difficult!!

Morning/Evening All Mandy it sounds like you had a lovely couple of days out with the family :-D.I used to love having pony rides on the beach at Westward Ho!.Holding on tight to the metal handle on the saddle .I think it was a metal thing.
Fingers crossed Ann you will be able to enter your things.Will they actually realise you are 100ft outside the lines ?
I am not likely to be around an awful lot as James has just set off to bring Hannah home .She is in a dreadful state.I couldn't even understand her on the phone.So she will be here until Sunday and then I have no idea what is happening.It is all terribly upsetting and if I don't stop now I will be in floods too :-(
I'm just going to get her room ready and then pop to Tesc*.Chris has not gone into work !! :-S.I think it going to be a very difficult day. I'll no doubt look in a bit later on.
