That's sad Ann.I have known a few people who have died really young.It does make you think doesn't it.
My daughter had some sad news tonight.A friend of hers had her 20 week scan yesterday and the baby has some major problems which means it won't survive.The poor girl has got to deliver the baby on Friday.My heart goes out to her.

Ann , like your little friend !

Your rice and beans sounds good Jane ,i'll have to have the recipe ,might be good to do when we next have a barbeque .

The Roast Pork went done well, think everyone went home full up ,i know i am , it was a nice piece of Pork Loin and there's plenty left for cold cuts tomorrow .
We went and sat outside for a while until it started to rain ,but it was only a few spots ,its still quite warm even though there's a bit of a wind .

How awful for your daughter's friend Jane. Her emotions must be all over the place with something like that. Then to have to deliver it knowing there will be no baby to take home. Poor girl.

OH has gone off to a friendly match tonight, beaming from ear to ear and rubbing his hands together with delight now his footie season is on the horizon. lol Still, it is actually nice to have a bit of quiet time. lol

I love a bit of pork loin as it is usually so tender. Sounds as if they had a lovely meal Mandy.

I will try sending the first of Shirl's piccies again, but as attachments instead of being embedded in the e-mail......fingers crossed!!

Just had a huge downpour here.It looks a bit stormy.OH is eating his dinner under the gazebo......but he is managing to stay dry.
Glad your pork went down well Mandy.I do like Roast pork.

Ann ,it will be terrible for Hannah's friend.Also waiting 2 days knowing what the outcome will be.I can't imagine how she must be feeling right now.

Frank Mohsens been to Gerba near to Sfax said he took a trip once with his youngest brother and his truck broke down at Stax they had to stay with an old couple of sisters who had not seen many young men and they insisted
washing them all over. The two ladies locked the door so they could not
get out and they crawled through a very small window. One woke up and grabbed Mohsens brother by the ankle and he lost his shoe. They fled up the
dirt track leaving there truck and crept back when it was dark and fled.But
all there belongings were inside the house. They never went back.

Mohsen laughed at the name Farhat . It rained all day here today sheila.

Morning a windy one with grey skies and it's cold.................

Don't need to say much more really, do I?

Thanks for the pics everyone. I got Shirls pics in the end, the grad and Shirl by the lake.

I am going to work on the fruit cage today between showers. Think OH is pi**ed off because he won't get the pointing done again.

Must say the roning board looks a lot clearer this morning!!

Still not been able to take a photo of the chicks as whenever I go over there she takes them in the house.

Morning All
On a wet and windy day.Well it's not raining at the moment but there are some very dark clouds up there.
Hi Elizabeth,I don't remember Dr Collis Brown or Lion Ointment.It must have been just a little before my time.Savlon or TCP were the creams used at home.Mainly Savlon, which I still always have a tube of.The smell of it reminds me of being a child.

I was down the Churchyard just now and one of the graves seems to have suddenly sunk !!!It is all down on one side by about 8 inches.I wonder if the heavy rain has caused it.
Need to get a few bits done and then Tes**.Then haircut this afternoon.
BBL
