Was that an option then Frank for Ros to do the course or take the fine and points? Never heard of that before.

Mandy better luck with the new cue!!!

Got one other tom plant and a tricolour sage as the ordinary one I have in the border is old and straggerly now and I think I will dig it out. They give a nice show for a couple of years and lighten up the border. a good doer as they say for filling a space. Must also get my two new lupins in and the bronze fennel.

O well onward and upwards.

See you later.

This must be the best day we have had this year. It is really summer!!

Anyone been watching Springwatch?

Back and had lunch. Hav'nt caught up with posts yet.

We bought to HUGE dumpy bags of bark chippings for the border so you will know what I shall be doing this afternoon before it can go on!!!

Still here, Madam decided she wanted to get showered and wash, and do her hair.

I ended up doing the back lawn and trimming the edges.

Little overcast now, but nice and warm.

Must remember to get Photo's taken for new Passports. I think Tesc# has one of those booths Will check Morriso## when we are in there first.

Ros is booked on a drivers awareness course on 7th June 1.30 pm to 5.45 pm Cost £90.00 BUT NO POINTS OR £60.OO fine. Perhaps now she will keep that BLOO## right foot of the GAS now . You are only allowed ONE COURSE in THREE YEARS. so she will have to watch it. with points on your licence I think your Insurance goes up..

Still waiting, I will go and gee her up a bit. The sun will be gone by the time we get out and back again. BAH BAH

Afternoon everyone,

Lovely to see the sun again but goodness it was so foggy first thing ,doors and windows open here too but that then lets the blessed flies in !! :-S got two buzzing round in here ,i bought a fly swat last year best thing i bought for just 75p !! much better than spray which doesn't seem to work like it use too.

Hi Kim, i see your finger got stuck to the key did it !! :-D :-D :-D :-D
Sounds as if you enjoyed your day out ,i think we'll all be out in the garden today got to make the most of the sun while we have it :-)

Our house phones are playing up, when some one rings, the phone just does a blip, no ring or any thing :-S hubby seems to think it's to do with the box where the wires go into , so more expense !!

How's the new baby today William ? she looks a bonny little girl in the photo :-)

Right off to plant up my new Cucumber plant .....hope i don't kill this one off :-S :-D
BBL

Good morning all/Evening Kim.

I see Kim has got the hic cups ;-) ;-) Take more water with it. :-D :-D

What a beautiful day, was up about 8.00 am showered and shaved, got myself dressed. I have read and sent all the Emails

Had appointment at the Doctors for Bloods and pressure. It was so nice I walked round there in shirt sleeves and TROUSERS. !! Just in case to thougfht6 I was flashing.!!!

Poor ANNE AND ALAN. What sort of person would do that., and how would they gain from it.. If they gave an address to forward the money to. The police would have a contact to arrest them.

I renewed our Passports yesterday what a price they are now. !! The reason for doing it is Conrad's business is going so well, he has flown out to Alicante today for at least a month, to help with all the enquiries he is renting an apartment on a monthly basis to start with, but may well get something permanent , so we might get to spend time with him, in Spain. Also Harvey and Julia keep onto us to go to their place in southern France. The only drawback there is, Ros won't drive out there, and there's not a lot to do, only the pool and beach. There is a shop on the complex, and a couple of bars, But as Ros doesn't drink we would be confined to the site.

Going off to town soon, so will see you later.

Morning/Evening All
Kim you are supposed to take your finger off the submit button :-D :-D :-D ;-).Sounds like you have had a lovely day out and about..and a new jumper too.I'm sure it looks great on you.

Fiona ,how long does MIL stay when she comes? Is she easy to have .I know my sister is dreading having her MIL for a week :-S.

Yes I'm home Kim .Got back last night.We didn't see any of the Gypsies or their Horses .But there was a definite whiff of horses in the air .Apparently they had had a Trotting Weekend which ended the day before we got there.I assume this is when one person sits low on the back of this carriage thing and makes the horse trot as fast as possible along the roads and lanes.I have seen them do it on the TV.
We did see a couple of families camped up on a village green when we were on the way home yesterday.I only got a pic of the basic caravans and missed the ornate ones :-|.I didn't dare get Chris to back the car up to get a better look lol.

Well what a difference today.It's lovely.All doors and windows flung open now.Washing on the line and more in the machine.I need to get a bit of shopping in,and then I'm off to see Fitz at lunchtime.
Jess says she might make a dessert !!!! I won't hold my breath on that one lol.I'll buy one anyway just in case one doesn't materialise here.
I will send a few pics later today,but now I need to get moving.

Nice to see you back with us Pat.I'm so sorry you have had all the family trouble,and glad you enjoyed your week away from it all.

Hi Ruby nice you are back too.I think sometimes I need to stay away from the pooter too.It really does put you off getting on with things that really need to be done.But then the nice weather does the same sometimes :-D

Oh well shopping needs to be done.....BBL

Morning Mel, Evening Kim.

Ah Ah so you say Kim ;-)

Sunny here at the moment ,

Going to stop this daughter no 1 and daughter no 2 lark)
no 1 daughter is Victoria, no 2 daughter is Katherine.

Well MIL coming to night , so I need to do a bit of freshening up in her room, needs a quick going over with the hoover and dusting, Katherine says she will put away the ironing board for me as I don't want to over do the lifting, arm is getting easier, but aches a bit in the morning when I first wake up.

I remember the van with the school dentist and the nurse who came to give vaccinations, I never went to the school dentist as my mum used to take me to the family dentist for any treatment. but I do remember having to stand in a long line outside the van door with the other kids for the NIT nurse, if you had nits you would get a letter home to your parents so they could get something into treat it. :-0

Morning and evening,

We are going out so will look in later.

Mel xx

Hic hic, no I haven't been drinking. ;-)

Hello everyone,

A lovely 24 here today and I can't believe tomorrow is the first day of winter. It is quite barmy outside.

Belated congratulations on your anniversary Jane. Are you home yet? I hope you had a lovely time away and your cough is improving. And to William a warm welcome to Olivia. I hope all is well with mum and baby.

I got the email too regarding Allan Miller and the first person I thought of was Anne. Yes it was promptly blocked and deleted.

Upped the meds. yesterday and went for lunch and a coffee with OH. We went to a little place called The Glass Onion Society - it sells clothes, artworks and other curiosities. We sat an an old green velvet lounge and it was very relaxing. OH bought me a black jumper that I had spotted. It is very shaggy, looked better on the hanger than it does on me, lol. Then we went off to another gallery and I saw so many lovely pieces that I would have liked. Very expensive, but maybe for another day. ;-)

After this we went over to see my friend Sylvia. We had more tea and cake with her. She has just had her old corgi put down. It was odd not to have Lady mooching around my legs waiting for a crumb to fall. She is buried down on her daughter's property and they have planted a Grevillea over the grave.

The kitten is still with my daughter and she has been diagnosed with cat herpes, poor little thing. She has blisters around her bottom; I thought it might have been something like that. This of course means she can't come here and be around my girls. It also means she will be harder to rehome (if that ever was the plan).

I too remember the school dentist arriving in a silver caravan. I used to shake in my boots every time it came through the gate. I can remember some children screaming and crying too. :-(

Mel do you still have Hogwort or have you released him?

Have a good day everyone. Who will be out in the garden today? Cheers for now. 4.29 pm AEST

Forgot to mention we saw the two hedgehogs together on the back lawn yesterday night. Tried to get a pick but one ran away down the garden and it just looks like a black blob on the lawn as the flash did'nt reach that far.

Well I thought my BIL was coming today but had a text message through the landline to say it would now be tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having rushed round and cleared up I then went out in the garden and spent the afternoon on the border and in the tunnel. We watched the lady pheasent and her chicks this afternoon. I think she still has 7 of the eight but they all run around so fast it is a bit hard to tell.

Have replied to William by email. What a lovely name... you don't hear of those names much now, do you. I had a Hazel in class at school and she was a smashing girl.

Yes to the scam. Do delete anything like that straight away. Also see the trouble you get when you send emails on to other with lots of emails at the top of the page. This is why I don't like to have this sort of thing, or should I say oh dos'nt approve of me getting that sort of thing. I am not aloud on Facebook either!

Hi to Ruby and nice to see you popping in again. Keep in touch when you can get time as we like to hear your memories.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JANE AND CHRIS. Sorry it is late but many more of them. xx

The abbey looked very interesting Jane.

Off now so will say night night and see you in the morning.

Hello everyone,

I have been staying off the computer in order to catch up on things around the house.

It makes me sad for you that your holiday weather hasn't been very good, especially after the dreadful winter you have had. June is usually nice isn't it? I remember when I was young that I loved September in England. Many warm days, and harvesting.

My best friend's dad worked on a farm, and at harvest time he had to work late, so couldn't get to the pub. My friend and I would have to take his empty bottles to the side door of the pub and knock, and whoever answered the door would take the bottles and get them filled with scrumpy for us. They knew who it was for. The farmhands took their scrumpy with them to the fields. One time we took an empty bottle for ourselves and got it filled. Then we went down a little lane where the grass and cow parsley was really long on the banks, and we lay back hidden from view and shared that rotten stuff. I don't think we were able to drink the whole bottle. We were both deathly sick. I think we were about 13 or 14. It cured us.

I remember our school dentist too. He used a room over the pub. No nurse - just him. He would have his tools bubbling in a little silver pot, and his old head shook. He pulled all my baby teeth. I went home for dinner that day, and mum had liver for dinner. I loved liver, even as a kid, but couldn't eat it that day. I never forgot that I missed out on liver once!!

Our weather is pretty warm - mid 80's F. I wish I could send some of it your way.

Ruby.

Poor Anne(with an E) having her email address pinched and used like that.I didn't get one.I have seen scams like that before .

Ann what a to do with your keys :-S :-S.I hope the company do get back to you and sort things out.Is there anything else down there I wonder??

Nothing for my cough Frank.It will just take it's course.It is better than it was ,but you should hear James :-S :-S :-S :-S.It's like a sanatorium here lol

Just going to have this Thai Take Away now.

Evening everyone,
Happy Anniversary.Jane <3 and congratulations Gt Grandad William :-D i like the name Olivia too.

What a shame about the weather Jane ,i remember the last time we went to the lakes it tipped down with rain.the whole time we were there !!

Had the family here today and as they were on half term they arrived earlier , i feel worn out , we did making things today and we have sequins every where :-S :-D

Ann, i had the email too, i think i've seen that some where before !!
What a todo with the keys !! :-S

Evening all,

Glad you are home safe and sound Jane/Chris. Such a pity about the weather. At least you had a break for a couple of days. Can Chris prescribe something for your cough. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.



I had the Email from Alan Miller, I knew of Anne with the "E" as we use to say. I passed it on to Mel, But I'm pleased it's a scam and not a real incident

Welcome Roberta. You must go back on the thread and DELETE all the extra posting. We are all having trouble, and all these extra postings won't help. with the SITE. Sorry to mention it, and I'm not an old mourner, as you will find out if you stay with us If you would like to go on the JOKE LIST let me have your Email address.

Will, I trust Mother and baby are doing well, when will you be making the trip to see her.???

Still a horrible evening here. It has been heavy cloud all day, and started to rain about and hour ago. I see it's the coldest "SPRING" for 50 years and the worse May since 1996.

I didn't get to Tesc# today. Ros won't be going out with Martine on Saturday, as she has something else on. So we will go into town tomorrow, to get odds and sods, and I can get the card then. IF I don't forget. !!
