Linda,

Thoughts and prayers for you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Everyone
Well Dad is still in Hospital, initially on an observation ward. His Dr says he is mal-norished and the blood tests showed a lack of clotting (too much warfarin maybe?) Today he was moved to the only available bed.... in the stroke ward. Well he is there overnight again.
Mum was found a place for respite in a nursing home not too far away. She is OK I am told. Will try to get up to London soon. Depending on how long the care situation lasts..... hopefully until a care home can be found for them both.

Very tired and sleeping badly...... every bone in my body aches.

I'll keep in touch with a progress report

Linda XxX :-) <3

Maddie,

Just remembered......the accuracy of the mechanism running the clock in the tower housing Big Ben is done using the addition or substraction of an old penny on the balance weight.

More useless information ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Maddie,

Big Ben starting to LEAN.......is he on a diet ? ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

We must start planning our course of action soon. And assemble our tools of the trade.

Long Flowing Gowns - check
Broomsticks - check
Stink Bombs - check
Rotten eggs and tomatoes - check
Familiar [black cat] - check

Warts are optional. lol

As you know I have changed hours, so cannot get on here in the mornings, and have difficulty on getting on here at night.

Nevertheless, we need a map of North of the Border.

Stephen? Over to you.


Did you know that Big Ben is starting to lean? And by the by, Big Ben is the bell, not the tower.

See ya later.

:-)

Hello Marilyn and Dermot,

Where has everyone gone ?

Marilyn......you eat drink and be merry......I'll watch your figure ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Red Wine ! If I had a drink of that I would be violently sick, even the smell of it makes me wretch.. Don't know why.....it's just been like that all the time. And yet I enjoy red grapes. :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

I love a really good Malt Whisky, even then I only have a small glass and that happens very seldom. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Catch you later ! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hello Stevey...

I have just had a lovely chicken curry,,,,,,,with 2 glasses of red wine hmmmm .

Blow the figure.......I'll just run an extra mile tomorrow. ;-)

Oh Dermot that's a hard question ....I wouldn't mind a business trip even at my age ..LOL wishful thinking .....

How foxy is your good friend? How many times would you invite him/her away on business trips?

Yes - things are a tad unusual today.

I'M LONELY :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Morning everyone as we seem to be getting less on here I will not name people as I might make a mistake.so I will say everyone.
My daughter emailed me a lovely photo of my Great Granddaughter Megan holding the torche for the olympics on the westminster bridge yesterday.
I was busy yesterday and only had time to answer my emails, I had two lots of washing to do and then had to go shopping.
As I get older time seem to go by in a flash where does it go ? I look forward to next weeks TV dramas and wishing my life away by doing that..it is going too quickly now.

have a good day everyone.

Love Rita

Maddie,

Why don't we attack that great carbunckle at the bottom of the Royal Mile...............It's called the Scottish Parliament.......what a bl88dy mess of a building.
priced at £41 million........it cost TEN times that at £410 million.....and already major faults have started to show

TIME TO KNOCK IT DOWN :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

And while we're at it we could destroy the disaster of the planned Tramway in Edinburgh.....they have screwed that up as well :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Morning All.

Bright and sunny this morning, with a few dark clouds edging its way along.

Yep, we will have to plan our Halloween Ride soon.

We wrecked London, so maybe somewhere else this year. :-D

I hear there are parts of Scotland that could do with our help.
#runs away very fast#

Hello everyone, hope you are all ok and keeping warm.
It took me about 20 minutes to get into this thread this morning, kept getting the error message. Had about 4/5 pages to read, what a busy lot you are.
Stephen hope you are feeling better now, leave the outside work until the weather improves a little, being out in this awful weather for any length of time wouldn't be good.

Breakfast??
Porridge [hot] or cereal.
Bacon, eggs, sausage, Hot rolls.
Tea or coffee.

Looks like winter has really set in, so take care, keep warm and stay safe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Marilyn.
Have a good day all.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Good morning All,
