Morning All .

Its still sunny ....wow aren't I lucky,

Pauline..... I noticed Mo was absent a bit longer than normal. hmm I'll PM her.

Linda... have you got a date for your Grand child yet ?

I have my flu jab on Thursday...so I'll bear in mind a sore arm, mind you I'd rather have that than the flu.

George.... is probably nursing his legs or still in the pub unable to walk home !! LOL

Stevey ..Awwh Cawsands I should have bought a cottage there years ago ...they are worth a fortune now ...very up and coming Village.

Still I'll be happy with what I have.......monies ia OK but you need yer health to enjoy it :-D

Hi all.

Jean, we lost the sun on Sunday, never seen it since, we had gales yesterday but it's calmed down a bit today. A bit nippy though, need to get the warm woollies out now.

Rita, I hope the blood tests go OK today. Your flu jab might not be as bad as you think, my son didn't have any bother with his. His arm was a bit red and it did swell up a little bit but he didn't seem to have any pain from it. Mind you, he's a tough nut, he's as hard as nails. :-)

Linda, it's good that your hubby has a couple of mates living near by, he'll be able to keep up with what's going on at work.

Stephen, stop tripping those women up!! :-D

Maddie will be off to the coalface by now, putting in another hard day's graft.

How's your dad now Marilyn? It was nice of the receptionist to help you out at the hospital, at least she took his age into consideration.

Have we lost Mo? Don't think I've seen her name for a few days, hope she's OK. Better get the search party out soon.

Come to think of it, haven't seen Pat, Agatha or George for a couple of days either.

I'll be going shopping after I've had another cup of coffee, hope it doesn't rain again.

Good morning everyone, hope you had a peaceful night.
Rita, hope your tests go well today. and your flu jab. I had a letter last week asking me to phone for an appointment for flu jab, must do it today.
Stephen, good luck at the hospital on Friday.

Breakfast, [late I know]
Cereal or juice.
Hot rolls. bacon, eggs. sausage.
Tea or coffee.

We have sunshine here at the moment, about an hour ago the sky was black, looked like the start of a storm. Suppose we should make the most of any sunny days now, before winter arrives.
Hope you all have a good day with some time to relax.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-)

Stephen they are not real faints, they want to see if it is true the Scot wears nothing under his kilt.?

Today is the day I have my warfarin blood test done and also my Thyriod one. tomorrow is the flu jab think it might be the swine flu as well. so I am not looking forward to the after effects.

Stephen sorry your eye is still giving problems my younger son is blind in one of his eyes due to a car accident when he was 18 he is 54 now and somedays it plays up more then others.

morning everyone I must have my tea and then get ready for the doctors.

Morning all
Definately duller here today.
We went and did our knight in shinning armour act last night, well hubby anyway. Daughter had a flat tyre, and being pregnant couldn't change it herself, so over we went and changed it for her. I walked my sons dog that they are looking after, so we have both been asked to dinner tonight.

Tomorrow is hubbies Dad's 88th birthday so we are over there, no cooking tomorrow either.

Just as well as I have to have a tooth out on thursday Ugh.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :-) <3

Hi Everyone.

Been to a little place called Cawsands in Cornwall today.Very pretty unspoilt village,had a lovely walk around the cottages the weather was perfect.

Stevey..... thanks for all the tips Yes he is a tall young 15yr old , although not fully muscular yet !! but he is very strong & a good rugby player & surfer . So I think if by Christmas he is still interested in joining I'll buy him that book you suggested.

Blimey its taken me several try's to get on here tonight I kept thinking it must be my lappy.

I 'm going to bed early tonight as you all know I was up in the early hours this morning

Hows everyone else out there ?

I think our sun has finished shining as about 4pm it went all hazy ,but I was in the car by then after my day out so nice and warm.

Back tomorrow ......

well Hello

I am back on line don t know how long for, ? what a week I had no . emails could get through now and again one went out. I had no internet whatsoever. my son contacted orange and they told him what to check he spent an hour doing that still nothing. then on sunday my daughter turned up she did the same, they said and engineer would check my lines. and phone me he didnt in the meantime I found the guy in this block had been an IT and this was his type of work( he is now a misionary )he said call me when they phone and I will sort it out for you. I ran up the stairs barefooted, he came down and he tried different things all the my children had done. then he asked me about my filters on the phone and compter he took the filter off the computer and fitted d it on the incoming phone line, he even went and got me a new cable longer than mine and fitted it.,,whoosh away it went all my emails lined up came through and my internet. so I hope it stays this good. anyway missed you all this last few days.

Hello All,

its 1-45am and I'm up !! I had a telephone call from my Step mother about my dad .....he had an ear infection and could'nt sleep so I had to take him to the hospital doctor, he gave him some antibiotics & pain killers . They were very good .......the A&E had a waiting time of 3-4hrs......but it was suggested to me by the receptionist to go to another part of the hospital where there was a doctor on duty, so how lucky was that !! I don't think my Dad could stay up that long. nor me LOL

So I'm here with Pete having a cuppa as we cant sleep now :-S

Pauline ...today it was my friends for lunch....6 of them but it was such a lovely day we sat in the garden and ate & drank ..loads.

Speak in the morning .... :-D

Hi again everyone
Pauline, hubby didn't want a big do. But there was a presentation of a collection made for him and a small speech. Then after his mates finished their day at 2:30 and he had handed in all his passes and uniform and phone they mey up at a pub near Heathrow. He bought all those there a drink. And that will pretty much be it as so many live away from the airport and travel each day. He won't be able to go into work to meet up beacause of security. But he does have a few guys who are friends who live close to us , so he will keep in touch.
Today we went to neighbours and they gave him a nice card and we had some champagneto celebrate, the lady made a nice lunch too, just a few nibbles she said.

Enjoy the evening

Linda :-) <3
