moring all

rainging windy and very miserble here today
and my internet is very bloody slow this morning

It's raining.........................................................hard.

We still have up all our union flags. Cos now we have the football, tennis, olympics, so we have to cheer all the participants on.

Everyone else has taken their down, what is wrong with them?

Show a bit of support people.

Hope everyone is well, and dry.
:-D

Morning all.

That's a good one Stephen. Sounds like you've got a lot on today, hope the rain doesn't stop you.

Linda, that's great news about your daughter. I didn't know you were going to Italy tomorrow, you must have said that before I came back. Didn't know your mam was in hospital either! Hope you have a lovely holiday.

Morning Stephen and all others
Loved the laugh this morning Stephen. Think it might happen here at the amont of rain falling. And we are still on a hosepipe ban in a drought situation. Can't believe this country.

Yes feeling much happier this morning. Yet to hear how she is, but she is home that's the most important thing.

Have to try to pack today. So busy.

Have a good day everyone

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Maddie,

Scaffoling up at your house !

Phone your Insurance Company and inform them. You may not have cover for a break in while that is in place.

A friend in Edinburgh had his house burgled while scaffold was up. The Insurance Company refused to pay out.

A Wee Chuckle very suitable for the weather we're having just now.

The Big Flood

It had been raining for days and days, and a terrible flood had come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house.

As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat appeared, and told him to get in. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the rowboat went away.

The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

The waters rose higher and higher, and suddenly a speedboat appeared. "Climb in!" shouted a man in the boat. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the speedboat went away.

The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.


The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the helicopter went away.

The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

The waters rose higher and higher, and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned.

Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God. "Heavenly Father," he said, "I had faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?"

God gave him a puzzled look, and replied "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"



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

Evening everyone, Hope you sleep well Marilyn and that none of us suffer in the high winds, having just driven from Reading I can tell you it's certainly blowing out there.
Well the BEST news !!!! Daughter is home, thank goodness. I am sure all your kind thoughts have helped. She is still having some discomfort but soooo much better. Hopefully we will all get to Italy on Saturday.
Such relief, when everything was so uncertain.

Managed the gym for an hour this morning.

My MUm has been allowed out of hospital too and should be being brought back to her residential home all the way from North Wales right now. They won't get back til really late.

Sleep well my friends

Maddie,

I have to confess ....I bought a pair of White Linen trousers yesterday.. :-D
I seem to have lost my other pair ........,BUT I found them this afternoon ..LOL
See this is what having Grand children around you can do ......forgetting where I put things.
:-|

I'm so knackered I'm going to bed early tonight, I have washed & changed 3 beds of Linen & cleaned a house that my Son & DIL stayed across from me in a holiday let and I have fed them every 5 mins ..LOL

Night all ....sweet dreams ...
:-D

Hello everyone.

Hope you are all ok, and keeping dry.

We are expecting 70mph winds tonight, so batten down the hatches.

Have a lovely time Marilyn. Have you got your Nanook of the North clothes sorted? No linens for you, young lady. lol

Pauline, I teld ya the accent was rubbish. My in-law were Geordies, and they dinna talk like Vera at all. I dont know where she is supposed to come from, but it isnt the north-east.

We have scaffolding up the back of the house, so I am hoping it wont fall down in the wind tonight.......................I'm scared........................pmsl.

Ta ta.
:-D

Marilyn, only a few days to go and you'll be off to Alaska, are you getting excited?

Maddie, I saw a clip of that programme 'Vera', the other day. Ages ago you commented on her (Brenda Blethyn's) accent being bad but I hadn't seen the programme. Well, now that I've heard her talk I can tell you her accent is rubbish.

Morning All.

Loved your Joke Stevey ...LOL

Good to see you Pauline.....you mustn't over do it , don't want you missing again .

Its raining, hmm rather pouring !!

So the only thing to do is nothing LOL

Well I'm looking forward to Olympics so I have changed my Avatar ......

Morning everyone.............. when you get here. :-D

A Wee Chuckle for the day.

A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him, and as he sits, the bartender asks for their order.

The man says, "I'll have a beer" and turns to the ostrich. "What's yours?" "I'll have a beer too" says the ostrich.

The bartender pours the beer and says "That will be £3.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and pays with the exact change for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again, and the man says "I'll have a beer," and the ostrich says "I'll have the same."

Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

This became a routine until late one evening, the two enter again. "The usual?" asks the bartender."Well, it's close to last call, so I'll have a large Scotch" says the man. "Same for me" says the ostrich. "That will be £7.20" says the bartender.

Once again the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the bar.

The bartender can't hold back his curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?"

"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I found this old lamp. When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.

My first wish was that if I ever needed to pay for anything, I just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money will be there."

"That's brilliant!" says the bartender. "Most people would wish for a million pounds or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!""

That's right! Whether it's a gallon of milk, or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man.

"That's fantastic!" says the bartender. "You are a genius! ... Oh, one other thing sir, what's with the ostrich?"

The man replies, "Oh, my second wish was for a chick with long legs."

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

Good news about your daughter, Linda.

God, Maddie, if I only came on here when I had something interesting to say.............. I'd never be seen again.

I'm champion by the way, getting better every day.......... thanks for asking.

Good evening All.

What a torrential shower there was about lunchtime. Thank goodness I was indoors. Cats and dogs running all over the place. lol

Please that Linda's daughter is more comfortable, and that Pauline is back with us. How are ya bonny lass?

Rita, my dad was in the Royal Fusiliers. Very smart he looked too in his uniform, and his beret pulled over to one side.

Gonna watch Lewis at 8pm. It is not the same as Morse, but the scenery is very pretty. I am soooooo tired, I just want to doss down and watch zombie television.

I will be back when I have something interesting to say....................it may take some time. lol

Just back from the hospital. Big improvement. Hardly any pain. Possible stone where gall bladder removed allowed to eat today and only a little dicomfort. Must drink lots of water. No Fats, no dairy and no spicy food either. Needs to stay overnight to see how she gets on after eating today. If she is OK could travel but need to check insurance properly. She needs rest and recuperation,which she could do in Italy so long as it doesn't flare up again. But so much better.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts it's so appreciated

Linda xxxx <3 <3 <3

Hi everybody. It's been a funny day today........... one minute the sun's cracking the pavement and the next minute we've got big black clouds. Don't think it could make it's mind up what to do.

Pleased your daughter's feeling a little bit better, Linda. She might be home soon.

Rita, I like to see a man in uniform as well. I used to think my dad looked really smart in his naval uniform.
