Gins

We have been paying for an anti virus because when we had one of the free ones we got "hacked" .

It cost us more to have the laptop fixed than it costs to buy the anti virus ( I get it at half price )

Have spent all day clearing out and doing housework just having a cuppa then going to do some more :-)

When I was at school in Liverpool and the Beatles were becoming famous, I can remember some of my schoolfriends 'bunking off' the odd afternoon lessons in order to get ready to go and see them at the cavern. When I was working, I used to walk past the Cavern most lunchtimes on my way into town.

Those were the days......................... especially for Jonesey.... ;-) Tuts.

Cyn,

Cheeky, although I do remember Bing Crosby it was not he that captivated my musical attention during my youth. I was more of a Tommy Steele and Elvis fan. I saw the Beatles perform live on two occasions. I say saw because the audience couldn't hear them above the screaming of hoards of young girls wetting themselves at the sight of John, Paul, George and Ringo on the stage. Perhaps you were one of those girls Cyn. ;-)

People often queued overnight in order to be able to buy a ticket for one of their performances but I boxed clever. I paid a chap that I knew to spend the night on the pavement to get me my ticket whilst I spent the night tucked up with his girlfriend.;-) Sadly I wasn't always the Mr Nice Guy that you know today. :-D

Changing the subject I thought the alien invasion had started yesterday. From my lounge window I get a good view of the sky over the Sandwell valley. At about teatime yesterday there suddenly appeared lots of red lights in the sky in the West. I am quite used to seeing planes in the sky and these were most definitely not planes. They were moving quite rapidly towards the East seemingly in groups of 3 or 4. At that stage I had not got a clue what they were, were they UFO's? As they got closer I noticed that they also had a yellow light that seemed to flicker on their undersides. It was only when they passed almost directly above me that I realised that they were Chinese lanterns, panic over. Presumably they had been released by ex-pat Chinese celebrating the Lantern Festival. This country certainly now has lots of different cultural celebrations to keep up with so it looks like this is another to add to the growing list.:-S

Good morning all :-)

Thanks for breakfast Cynthia - I will have a large bacon barmcake please with mushrooms <3 <3 <3

Even I remember Bing Crosby, he was my mum's favourite singer and we had all his records which we played all the time ;-) :-D

Dea x

Morning all..... :-D



Thanks for putting the kettle on Gins.......

Breakfast is now served:


Bacon barm cakes with a choice of mushroom or tomato

Eggy bread

Toasted crumpets

Warmed croissants

Cereals of all types

Plenty of toast with all the usual trimmings


Coffee is made and the tea is brewing......don't be too long or it will be stewing!!


Caught a brief glimpse of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr together on the news this morning. Brought back some golden oldie memories!!

I image our dear Jonesey must go all nostalgic when he hears Bing Crosby's voice... :-D :-D :-D :-D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I like fig rolls too :-D

Mornin all~~~~~

Well, we had an odd night. The house alarm decided to go off in the middle of the night, I wouldn't mind but we hadn't set it :-S

Then I had a dream and JB woke me up from my screaming

Kettle is on..................

We certainly had some rain this morning and then it cleared up this afternoon...... :-D



The usual busy morning followed by a quiet afternoon.....just the ticket.


I have been very naughty and have just eaten about 6 fig roll biscuits.....very scrummy they were too...... ;-)


I think our Sylvs is due back this week - it will be good to have her back again....

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-Nites nites bow all !!

Dea Xxx

I always thought that rule too Dea......thunder - count - lightening

It was pretty bad rain here earlier but is now quite pleasant

Sheffield United drew 1-1 with Fulham this afternoon. Good result as it means we will have a rematch their ground...........

And all with 10 men Jonesey :-D

Yes it 'was' a heck of a storm Mo !

It only lasted about 10 minutes but was really violent!

I love storms too usually and I like to watch the lightening but this one was really strange. We must have been right in the middle of it as the thunder was coming at the same time as the lightening and it was all around us :-0 It was black everywhere as if it was the middle of the night and the wind was howling all around.

I don't know how true it is but I was always told that if you count the seconds after the thunder and before the lightening that will tell you how far away the storm is ?? i.e. 2 seconds means it is 2 miles away etc

This one was all at once and the strangest thing was the ice coming down in buckets - It wasn't snow, or sleet or hail it was sort of a slushy ice and it stuck to the windows and everything.

Then, it all went ! :-S

I can't see any damage nearby and we certainly don't have any but I am sure that all that lightening must have struck something.

How is the weather with you ?

Dea Xxx

YIKES,Dea! (said the big bad Mo);-)

That must have been some storm. Hope nothing was flooded/damaged,etc.

Maureen <3

Good morning all :-)

Thank you for the lovely beakfast Cynthia <3

It has just about stopped raining here and the wind has been howling all night but that has stopped too :-) It is really quiet out there :-0 :-S

Hope you all have a lovely day ............

Dea Xxx

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~

Eggy bread <3


Thank you

Morning all.... :-D



Hmmmm. Looks as though I had better put the kettle on, fry some bacon and eggs and warm up some croissants.

Some eggy bread for Gins.

Lots of toast and tomatoes and mushrooms are under the grill.



Now I must get myself organised to face the morning - it looks very wet and windy outside..... :-(

I wondered that Gins.......I have AVG.

Didn't have storm of yours Dea....shame...I love storms :-(


We had some rain and it's supposed to be very wet tomorrow.....deep joy!


Seeya tomorrow!!

Why are you 'paying' for anti virus?

Use Avast or 'AVG' or others

:-S

No rush have just renewed for a year thanks Dea :-)

I will have to look it up Linds but will send it in the next couple of days.

I seem to remember that it was £30 something for two years and I have had it for many years now and it has never let me down.

Also it doesn't conflict with anything !! :-)

Dea Xxx

Yes Ginns - It was 'eerily silent' and still for about 2 hours after the storm but now the wind has got up again and is quite violent !!

Dea Xxx

Dea can you PM me the name and where to buy it for next time please.

I have had enough of Norton although I must say I haven't had any problems with it once it is installed that is ;-)
