Signed in for the last time for a week,and was a little upset to hear about Norm ,although i expected it at any time.
We are all,as you see Sylvia here for you at this very sad time.
As Les ,and a couple of others have already said ,now is the time to take a break,and get your head together.
God bless old friend,,Liz and i are thinking of you.xxxxx

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Norman's funeral is tomorrow, which I am dreading, but I will be glad when it is over now. My family and friends are all being so supportive and , with all your prayers and thoughts, I'm sure I shall get through it alright. Thanks again and love to all, From Sylvia XX

Hello all Another week of snow and "bl----y" cold.
I see Les is still getting yuck for weather as well.
A bit of a blessing in that the days are finally getting longer. Good to see Fred back, we need more soup recipes as this is definitely the weather for it. Do you have one with barley??
I know everything will work out Sylvia, just take it one day at a time. It's been 12 years for me and although a day does not go by that I don't remember him in some way the memories are good ones.
Hope this finds all the others well and happy.
Talk again soon. Edith XXXX

Edith, it is raining here and we are watching the water levels around our house. Don't want to have a flooded basement again. They are finally shifting all the snow piled in the middle of our streets...bit messy but hey! it is looking a bit greener all over.

We are off to haul our garbage down to the dump, haven't had a garbage pick up since before christmas....the lanes are impassable. Ah! well and so it goes.

Hope everyone else is doing OK
Will be thinking of you today Sylvia.

Love Mary xxxxx

Hi! Everyone. Well the funeral is over and I must get on with the rest of my life, or as much as I have left of it. The funeral service was very nice and the graveside part was not as bad as I had expected and my sons were absolutely wonderful.I know Norman would have been very proud of them. Even the little grandchildren were very good and everyone thought they were adorable.
We went to my niece's house afterwards and spent a very nice afternoon with family and friends. There were even some old friends from England there who I hadn't seen for 34 years and just happened to be in Perth at the time.I wish Norman could have seen how many people were at his funeral as he always thought no-one would attend, but he didn't know how much he was loved and will be missed.

Love to all from Sylvia XX

Hi Peeps,Fred reported in after a couple of hours of looking round the Roman ruins on The Escarpment behind Limassol.
Preps' for the wedding are well in hand and things should go well,with a little luck.
What a lovely country this is.fields full of fruit trees date palms,and loads of veggis and things like corn on the cob.potatos and green stuff,
must be off ,things to do and all that.
Love to All you Poor Beggers at work,haaaaar haaaar lol. See ya Soon Fred.

Morning all!!! Well it's very cold again today, so won't be venturing very far. Fred sounds like he's having a lovely time, he might come home with some new recipes..
Hello Sylvia hope you are ok.
Les you really have been snowed in haven't you. I won't complain too much about our weather here.
Well, Woolworths has gone from our high street, who would have thought it. Now Marks and Spencers are talking redundancies as well it seems to be everywhere. I really feel sorry for the kids who are just leaving school and trying to find something. My son is 15 and will be staying on at school for a couple of years, so hopefully by then things may look a bit brighter. He's wanting to be a Stone Mason so you never know.
Anyway have a good weekend everyone. Stay safe and warm !!!

good morning all
I'm not a Canuck so I hope you will excuse me intruding, I have been reading through your thread and enjoying your chattering, you have a lovely cyber community here. When you have said where you live I have "google earthed" it and momentarily joined you.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Sylvia my love prayers have been with you, will call soon a few family things so on the phone to Uk and Adelaide heaps. So good to hear that so many people came out to farewell Norman (methinks they were also there to support you -a loving caring person who has always been there for Norman through thick and thin for years) hugs and keep coming on here, especially when things get tough for you as they may love ya and I will call soon

VP, hope the silence does not mean floods thinking of you

Fred that lap top of yours is good, so nice to hear that Cyprus is beautiful and that wedding plans are ace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~everyone else and keep well and to those who pop in keep coming to a lovely safe place- been around in many forms since 2004 good people are welcome always :)

JA

Hi everyone,its not as cold as it has been here ,but was really frosty this morning ,OH went out and "deforsted " my car as I am working all day today.
ITs been unusally quiet here today,maybe borrowers are feeling the cold,so staying home or might all come in this afternoon.I work in a library.
Hope you all stay cool if its hot where you are and warm if its cold.
Hope Fred and Liz continue to enjoy themselves.

hi from a -26 barrie ontario have my grandaughter stayin over and I am taking her to her indoor soccer match this am from reading the site I see that fred is having a good time in cyprus look foreward to reading about it on both the sites he is on, I see the weather is not great in B.C. and other parts of canada my son leaves to-morrow for business in st johns newfoundland he will be there for a week sunday to sunday, the pharma cutical company he works for has something special going on. bye for now dorothy

HI Everyone,
Guess I have been in a blue funk for a few days. I am so sick of not being able to have a good walk with Bella. Now they are calling for flurries again....when will it end.

My granddaughter called yesterday (at 2 and 3/4...lol). She said Gammie when are you bringing me my presents....had a good chuckle over that. I said soon and she replied I'm coming to Gammie's house. So she was off to put on her boots and was half way out the door before d-i-l caught up with her. Quite the Miss!! Meanwhile the roads where the kids live are still full of slush and ice. Soon!!!

Am in process on registering my company name. Already on some of the apron sites I can see instances where others have copied my designs and even stolen my apron names. All that from being on etsy. Now I think I am going to blog and put the aprons on there. If anyone has better suggestions let me know. Norm says I should have a web site but it's expensive if someone creates that for you and I am IT challenged so there is no way I could do that myself.

Good to see everyone on here and do drop in again Mrs. Blue Eyes...we like new friends.
Fred, enjoy that sunshine and then send some to us here in the frozen colonies...LOL
Hugs for Sylvia.
Have a lady coming this morning to special order a gala apron so must off and hit the shower etc.
Take care you lot.
