Afternoon all
Church this morning , weather was fine to start with then came a huge terential down pour right in the middle of OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, wonder if it was our lord letting us know he was listening in lol.
The minister made that coment after we had finished prayers.

Been sorting out my wardrobe and have decided I think its time I bought a new rain coat, last one doesn't have a belt and just hangs on me, will have to sweet talk OH to take me shopping up at Matalan this afternoon,

Janes realy showing off with her beans, picking three pounds at a time. I'm lucky if I can pick 10 at a time.!!!

Yesterday Ros had popped round with the Lady down the road to her allotment. She has 7 day old chicks, Their surragate mother is White, so she has called them "Snow white and the seven dwarfs" No we are not having any more.

Had a message from someone in Australia regarding something I posted about that Dr Sutka some time ago. She thought I had beed involved. I have invited her to join our thread. I hope that is allright. She sounds a very intesting lady.

I am back home left at 7am and sailed straight down the M6
and Matts friend bought me a lovely meal but at 11.30 but really
enjoyed it roast beef the lot Matts idea oh will miss him I hope get gets better that falls knocked the stuffing out of him.

Catie and Elizabeth may not see this but wanted to say Catie I hope the funeral goes well said a prayer yesterday in the little chapel.
Elizabeth I do know what you are going through my brother had prostrate
cancer but he recovered fully and I hope your ho does also I will pray for you . Also for my poor son in law is not at all well. Someone put a virus in my computor my daughter did what Frank I think warned us about
clicked on to a message with a x on it and hence we got a virus but
luckily our friend Chris came in and turned the computor off and re set the time back and put it in safe mode and he got rid of it for us thank goodness.it was something to do with protection offering you some and you click on it to get rid of it and hence you get a virus. it comes when you turn off you computor Chris said. Well I am off now to do some washing.

Mel I have lost weight all that chasing after animals was so glad of Genes threads at night nothing to do and auntie Merill was more essentric than Beryl do not know if anyone even saw my message of her antics and the
proms I think she was trying to impress Matt being a good singer himself but he felt too ill to bother. Lets hope his days in hospital help him
get better he is such a laid back sweet lad I really got to know him for the first time in the nine years he s been married to Jess bye Manchester United drew did not loose great HAVE A NICE DAY ALL. Avoiding Beryl
could not stomach her rignht now.

Just waiting for James and his girlfriend Jess to get home.It is her 21st birthday tomorrow,so I have tucked away the pressies.I bought a little cake(she doesn't eat cake ) so no point in getting a big one.I shall get a couple of those helium balloons in the morning.
