Afternoon to anyone coming here later.
It's been a mixture of sunshine and showers today. Been to the shops as we have our son and his wife coming to dinner. Had a general tidy up and prepared the food. Just waiting for them to come with 2 spaniels as they have his sister in laws too. They might go round our lake to let them burn off some energy.
Have been knitting some more this morning. The shawl is growing but much slower due to the thickness of the wool, but I enjoyed making this years ago so pleased to be doing it again.

Have a nice evening.

A Wee chuckle for the day

I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into labour and the nurse walked out and said to the man sitting next to me,

"Congratulations sir, you're the new father of twins!"
The man replied, "How about that, I work for the Doublemint Chewing Gum Company." The man then followed the Nurse to his wife's room.

About an hour later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced that Mr. Smith's wife has just had triplets.
Mr. Smith stood up and said, "Well, how do ya like that, I work for the 3M Company."

The gentleman that was sitting next to me then got up and started to leave. When I asked him why he was leaving, he remarked,

"I work for 7-UP."

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Congratulations, Linda, hope you have a lovely day for your 39th anniversary. That means it'll be your ruby next year.

Morning everyone
Shelly whats happening this weekend at yours? Enjoy it whatever you do.
Pauline it looked terrible where you were, hope everyone is safe. Down here it was wet when I got up, but the sun is shinning now. BUT we are still on a hosepipe ban !!! Unbelievable. The grass guy couldn't do ours yesterday it was too windy and the weedkiller would have gone onto my flowers, so it has to be re-booked and hope it's not too wet then.
Well hubby and I had lots of cards to open this morning ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 39 years ago today we both said "I do" and through thick and thin we've managed to stay together. Very happy times balanced by some bad times too. But the sun is shinning right now so we're OK.

Have a lovely day everyone

Yes, a very lucky escape, Stephen.

My son's care worker has just sent me a photo she took from the bedroom window of someone in the next village........ I'll attach it to a PM.

Cath, it's going to be expensive for you because the insurance will only pay for the damaged units, you'll have to pay for new wall units to match the new floor units.

I don't watch it, Shelly.

Tonight I broke my front top tooth on some hard food. I think it is actually a previous repair which has broken off. :-( I am hoping I can get an appointment tomorrow (Saturday) to get it repaired. Otherwise I will have to keep my mouth shut when in company :-D (Now how can I blacken one of those teeth?) Soup and runny eggs for me until it is repaired.
