Genealogy Chat

Hi Everyone

Sally sorry I have not been on much lately,just busy with the family I guess.

I try to give myself a break from Genealogy for a while ,then I come back to it,it helps me not get bored with the same searching and I do end up finding more that way.


I did notice that Evelyns thread is up again so must look in,one day we may find Diane.

It is starting to warm up a bit now, we have had a few warm days then it goes cold on us again ...so strange.

Just started my Christmas shopping,but I like a full day to try to get it all done in one day ,don't like my chances though :-).

It is time to start doing the lights too :-( that will take a while ,I don't mind really but we have to take it all down again ...such hard work ,we are feeling it now we are getting older.

I hope Robert, Reece,Cynthia, Ann , Sylvia and Sally are all well <3

Better get Dinner started :-(..

Love to all my friends :-D <3

Hi Everyone

Just got back from the big smoke ,OH is all booked in for surgery on his wrist and Elbow to start with ( nerve Damage ),I think they think that will fix his neck if not he is back in to operate on his neck,it is a big operation so they are trying a few things first.

We are always glad to get home as Perth is a very busy city and the traffic is shocking,our little country town is wonderful compared to Perth.

Hope you are all well,I am not on much at the moment but I do try to pop in when I get a bit of spare time :-D

Love to you all <3 :-D

Suex <3 :-D

Hi Sue, and everyone


we are definitely into Fall here ................... wet and windy!



Yesterday (Monday) was Thanksgiving Day in Canada ................. turkey and the trimmings :-)


It was just OH and I .................... he asked the butcher if we could have a half turkey.

In the past that's been about 3½-4 lbs


This year ..................... 7½ lbs :-0



I think we are going to be freezing quite a lot of sliced white meat in meal-sized portions, for future use during the winter :-)





Glad to hear Shadow is improving, Anne



and to hear your stories, Arthur




Sallie ......... I hope your OH will be out of hospital soon xxxx




take care everyone

Thank you for your interest in Shadow

I am very please he does not tend to give me that kind of present

She is a real little hunter - what does her sister think of all this?

Our old cat use to love hunting & catching things but there was very little left after he got to them.

One day i came along the road & saw my White & black Burmese & The Ginger dumpling sitting opposite each other with what looked like a grey football between them

When I got closer i realised it was a pigeon – every time it moved its head one of them crept closer.

So i rushed down & told the pair of them off – bent down & scooped the poor thing up & took it in doors With both cats following me. I checked the pigeon over & he was just a bit frightened.

Popped him in an old box with an old scarf to sit on & took him out to the shed. Cats still following my every move.
Went back for a small dish of water and some fresh breadcrumbs. Left the pigeon to get himself sorted out.
Ginger lumpkin got fed up and moved off Berbs planted himself outside the shed. Three hours later he was still there.

Called him in for food & reluctantly he came in – i dashed out to the shed & the bird was walking about a bit - so i moved away from the door – he hoped out trotted about & then flew off.

As soon as Berbs finished his dinner he was back outside the shed again – so i had to let him in. The look on his face said at last Mum has done the right thing & let me at that furry thing. He sniffed all around & looked in the box & realised it had gone - he was so cross - wouldn’t sit on my lap for a couple of days.

I really miss that cat - he left us far too soon and very quickly - which was good for him but not me.

Oh well must get back to work

take care all

Anne

So very glad to have good news of Shadow.

Did you see the 3 Horizon programmes? Both my cats watched some of it, attracted by the cats talking. Nikki appears to have learnt something too as all the rodents since the last programme have been presented to me dead :-D A big improvement on live rodents raoming the house.

In spite of the dreadful weather - think we have had at least 3 inches in the last 8 days and our road has flooded on at least 3 occasions - Nikki has caught 6 rodents. On Friday it was a very large wood mouse. On Saturday a large shrew. On Sunday she excelled by bringing me in quick succession. another shrew followed by a baby vole, then a large mouse and finally another baby vole minus head. I can be sure my bulb collection is well guarded :-)

Thank you all

Shadow is on the mend - My bank balence is on the downward slope

As soon as he was placed in his cat carrier - he started to perk up a bit & once at the vets he was very good - they took a few tests and did lots of proding & pokeing about - he did not like his temperature being taken - ended up with a large dose of anitbiotics and some Vitamin shots. We had to keep an eye on him for 12 hours and rush him back if he did not drink.

I gave him a jolly good talking to & he accepted a couple of spoonfulls of his favourite food and i swear he drank a bucket of water. since then he has been eating a little more - very small portions throughout the day. today is the first day we have left him on his own. He has a fresh bowl of food and water and a few treats. I await a text from the OH who is going to drop in 2 or 3 times during the day.

I will update you all as soon as I can.

Sally keep your chin up - I am sure he will be back home soon

Congratulations to you and your other half. In our changing world fewer people will reach this landmark.

Fingers crossed the vet finds no problem. I shed many a tear when my old cat had 2 fits and had to be put to sleep, so I know how you are feeling. They come into our life and enrich it.
