General Chat

I have had a busy day. I went to one town for a positive aging expo. Bought myself a folding walking stick for my flight to the Chathams. Bought a plate for my OH. It has a curved edge (______) something like that, to make it easier for him to get his food on the spoon, unlike the ordinary dinner plates.

After a couple of hours there looking at all the exhibitions I then went to my usual town for a party to farewell a woman who has worked for the hospice for 22 years or more. She is going to live in Orewa. We all took a plate of food there, and we all took a plate of food home! That is despite the fact that I ate far too much, and some of the others were doing their share of eating. But then some people took enough food to feed an army. I will have to climb a lot of hills tomorrow to work it all off.

Huia.

morning every one

Morning all. gtlad you had a good holiday George. how I would love to come back from my holidays and find my flat had been decorated, that would be like another holiday.

Stephen nice to see your back nearly to normal lol.

Just like to tall everone that I email Pauline and told her she should not show my photo on the funnies she sends through. my photo was the one with the fat lady spilling it all in her tight dress..

My vision is still rather blurred, my right eye particularly, only a haze with that. :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

Morning all,
Marilyn, belated birthday wishes to you. <3
No end of trouble getting on here and have given up a few times. It's so frustrating.
George I wish I had friends like yours, lol. How lovely to have a freshly painted house to come back to.
My packing is done and I'm raring to go on tuesday. Not too keen on the first ferry trip as it is 13 hours but have a cabin so will try and spend at least half of it asleep. The 4 to 5 hour drive will be ok and then on to the next ferry for 4 hours, phew.
Hope all the friendlies are well and Stephen hope the eye is getting better.
<3 <3 to all,

Yes I had a ball on Holiday .....Southampton to New York on the
Queen Mary 2 . then train across USA back to San Francisco.

Had a giggle about all the people we met from a Hells Angeles to a Texan old lady that ran a farm, a train enthusiast that followed us wherever we went ..LOL calling Marilyn at every importunity on the train.

Back to normality now ....ughhh

Not so bad though As I will be off again soon

Hi George if only you had been at home on Monday I would have popped in for a cuppa !!
We broke down on our way home and were at A303 and A350 to Longleat. Just down the road from Stonehenge, so on your doorstep.

Hope you had a great holiday

Linda :-) <3

Evening Linda,Yvonne,Mo in Kent, PatricaAnn, and Marilyn.

Marilyn, they repainted my lounge, hall, stairs and landing and kitchen.
Lounge, hall, stair and landing walls a kind of off white with white satinwood woodwork, and kitchen, walls in pale yellow and again white satinwood woodwork, no drapes LOL.
Looks great with my sanded wooden floors.
When the old boy suggested the colours I was a little unsure, but looks fab.

MO, had a few little tipples :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


George :-D :-D

Afternoon all
Managed some gardening this morning before hubby left for work. It all grows so quickly, especially when you have been away.
Then the grass people came so now have to pay them.
After an ex neighbour passed and asked if we wanted the windows cleaned, job done and gutters cleared too !!
Just doing a bit more ironing.
Seeing daughter tonight. So won't be around

Linda :o) XxX

Afternoon all

Mo when you've finished with Foggy send him to me, I could do with some help with decorating, my Oh does'nt like doing it and moans the whole time :-|

Not had any luck with a new job yet, got a letter from the vets saying sorry the position has been filled. Well at least I got a letter, a lot of employers don't bother.
Rita don't worry about getting jobs done, just do what you can and do a little each day. MY fil tries to do too much in one go then moans he's overdone it, we're trying to persuade him to have a cleaner a couple of hours a week to do things he can't manage but he don't like spending his money.

Stephen hope your eyes are getting better

Pauline those jokes you sent were funny and a bit saucy :-D

<3

Hi there folks.
Good to see you back George, I hope you behaved yourself while you was away, and didn't get falling down drunk. It's amazing how after a few drinks, the legs seem to have a mind of their own. lol
I think I should have a word with Foggy, I need my place decorated, and I am sure I could arrange a few days away while it's being done.

I am having a really lazy day today, the sun is shining, and I have sat in the garden for a while, looking at the weeds, and thinking that I must pull them out, but I just cant be bothered today.

afternoon everyone!
Been looking a loads of photos of the Galapagos Island. Technolgy is amazing.

I like living as well! One of the easiest ways to stay young is to be around young people! :-) :-) :-)

Hi Georgie Boy

About time you came home ... :-D

Now what exact have these lady friends done for you ?
I'm very nosey ....did they spring clean or really decorated with new drapes ?

Hi All.

I haven't been able to use my Lappy .....my provider had technical difficulties for 3hrs , and boy don' you miss it ? I did do some housework instead and actually cooked a recipe of chicken for dinner tonight ....Pete said I think the Provider should go off a bit more ..LOL

Huia ....A lot of folk seem to be having problem's with eyes lately I wonder if its due to the all of us on the laptops ?... the print might be affecting the strain of eye's :-S

Rita......I forgot to watch WDYTYA....maybe its just as well if it was boring.

Dermot,...... My Dads old ...I'm NOT ! LOL

Hows our Stevey today ?

Afternoon all,

Hope you have all been behaving yourselves while I have been on hols. :-D :-D

Got to try and go shopping now otherwise I will starve, well not really..LOL
House looks nice now as the old boy and his lady friends have been decorating while I've been away, must say they made a brilliant job of it :-) :-) :-) :-)
