Morning, early risers. Waiting for the Kraken to wake and pack the car. Gwynne

Hi Julie, Weather forecast not too good. Ah, me. Maybe, by the end of the week, I can persuade a certain person that a day in the National Library of Wales may be a good thing. Are the Fens wet this morning? Gwynne

Morning from a very wet, windy Istanbul Gwynne, I'll have a quick coffee with you before you head off. I've just spent 13 hours on a bus, but it was worth it :) Morning Julie, Magi

13 hours????????????????? Where have you been? Gwynne

Good Morning Gwynne & Fen Sunshine & showers here in Stoke this morning,never mind that will do till Ive finished the ironing then hope the sun shines lol Linda

Morning Magi Linda

We got four days off (pre-final reports UGH!) so I decide to head off to the hot part of the country, Didim - on the Aegean coast, and I've come back like a beetroot! All sung out, no TV for three days, bliss...

I don't think I'll be sun burned when we come back from Wales.................. Glad you had a good time, Magi. Gwynne

Morning Linda, I wonder why us girls save the ironing for Sunday morning? My mom used to do hers on a Sunday too, wonder if it's a family tradition???

Our little darlings leave on June 15th, then I'll be back down like a shot. Can my voice take six weeks of karaoke I wonder???

Julie I do the ironing Hubby does the hoovering and we both cook dinner lol Linda

hi every 1 kettles been on 3 times already need plenty of coffee on a morning and ironing do it any time usually when basket is full although got a new iron with a tank and done it all on friday to see what it was like but i supose the novelty will wear off ann xx

Good Morning Gwynne and all folks, (David's late today!) :)) wasn't sure if we would hear from you today Gwynne, how did it go last night then? :))

Before I nip off to get ready I must tell you about my wonderful drama group. (ages 14 - 26). The last 2 performances went like a dream. Almost full houses. They really outdid themselves and I glowed with pride. They bought me some flowers and a lovely hippy-type top. So I started my 'Thank yous' and I remembered everyone I wanted to thank. And I remembered to welcome the new members and say how well their debut performances had gone. Then it started to fall apart a bit. Lizzie (19) has been with one or other of my groups since she was 10. She has taken leading roles, been stage manager and has been a volunteer with the junior groups. She's also a great shopping companion. So I started to say how sad it always was to say goodbye to members who were leaving - she's going to university to do theatre studies in September. I looked towards her and she started to cry and that set me off. So the audience didn't hear all the nice things I was going to say about her because she was draped around my neck sobbing. I looked to some of the older ones hoping one of them would say something and they were all crying too. How embarrassing. We are so going to miss that girl. Gwynne (crying again - stupid woman)

I just knew you would be on Jenny's thread about nails, Gwynne! :)) Magi, am glad you had a break, that was some bus ride there! :))

Surely no more rain today folks, but it's looking a bit greyish! :)) Julie Linda and Annie, don't mention ironing, ( I don't like it!) :))

Well that sounded like a perfect ending Gwynne, am sure everybody understood how you felt, because they were all in tears as well! :)) Now you can have a lovely time and chill a bit (hopefully not weatherwise!) :)) We shall think of you here in the mornings, they'll be an empty cup! :))

Morning Gwynne damp here in Manchester but not raining now, hope weather bucks up for you for your trip to Wales. Morning everybody! Davex
