Good afternoon
Well today has been a day to lift the spirits. Sunny and warm.
Managed the gym and done a couple of hours in the garden too. Hubby cut the grass while I cut back some of the shrubs. It's worth putting out the recycling bin now in the morning. I have lots of scrathes on my arms so look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Good luck with your checks tomorrow Rita

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Rita will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping that the scan results are good

Good Morning

Yes I can say that, like you Linda the sun is out and the sky is blue. you can put washing out on the line type of morning.
But I heard the weather man and it could change later on today.

But Lets enjoy the sun shine. I am just sorting my washing out. not much to-do but like to see it washed and out of the way.

Stephen I like you chuckle for the day

I am still very stiff and it is painful my shoulders and hands but it is so much better than Saturday and Sunday/ I hope it imporves I dont want to visit the doctor if I can help it.
Tomorrow I have the hospital to see my cancer consulatant and get my scan results that were done a month ago.l

A Wee Chuckle for the day

On board with Sir Walter Raleigh

The Quinn twins were almost identical except that Pat had one huge eye and one normal one, while Mick had one huge ear and one normal one.

They both volunteered to join Sir Walter Raleigh in his round the world voyage.

'With my big eye, sor, I can see for miles. I'd be ideal in the crow's nest look-out,' said Pat.

'Agreed,' said Raleigh.

'And with my big ear I can hear even the quietest sound,' said Mick. 'I'd be ideal on deck listening for any talk of mutiny.'

So both Quinns were hired and duly the ship set sail.

Three days out, Pat called from the crow's nest.

'Ship on the port bow.'

Raleigh took out his telescope and scanned the horizon - nothing.

'It's there, skipper, believe me,' answered Pat.

Three hours later a tiny speck could be seen through the telescope.

'My God, what amazing sight you have!'

'Yes, and she's a Portuguese man-of-war,' said Pat.

'How do you know that?' asked Raleigh. 'Surely you can't see the flag?'

'No, sor,' said Pat......... 'But my brother can hear them talking.'

Morning All !

Ok ! Own Up, ......who nicked our sunshine and sent rain ? It's miserable here today :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Cath.....I really shouldn't have.... but I did.....I nearly pmsl at what happened to you with your car. You should send the details to some Comedy Scriptwriter. As you say it's like something from Monty Python. Hilarious. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) I would be seeking a free ticket for my next crossing from the Ferry Company. Worth a try.

Rita, Make sure you have a lifejacket at hand ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) Hope you feel better soon.

Maddie, Bet you look great in rubber !!!!!!!!!!!!

Logging On......I was given a wee tip......when you reach the Friendly Thread....click on the 'Post Date' marker at the top and hey presto you are in to the last one who posted.

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well , keep safe , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Still having slowness issues............. then finally whooshed, but got error message, even though it had actually added !!!
PS paid fees yesterday so I am here for another year .

Cath sorry to read of your troubles with the ferry and car.

Hope everyone else is OK.

Rita hope you feel better soon

Marilyn will be away again, hope your ear has settled down

Mo left a message on another thread:
I have been unable to get onto the friendlies thread lately Linda, please send them all my best wishes.

Well I must go now girls, I hope to speak to you tomorrow, providing the site lets me on again.
Take care, love and hugs to you all. Mo xxx

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Cath I thought it | was the only one things like happened too. but I see I was wrong. I would put in a claim as well for the keys and all the wasted time an inconveinece.
shame it must have spolied it for you. still you have things back now. I suppose thats a start.

Hi to everyone else. not been feeling too good today so have done nothing but drop off to sleep. didnt even have the energy to cook any food I opened a tin of soup.

Morning folks,
what a wet, windy and dismal one it is too.
Went to harbour to pick car up yesterday morning and guess what .............................
ferry staff had lost the keys :-P :-P :-P Phoned OH to bring spares and as he arrived ferry sailed out with my car still on board :-|
To say I was angry is an understatement and I will be seeking a written apology and replacement keys at least. Eventually returned at 3.30 and finally got car and all our luggage home. What a performance, it was like something from a Monty Python sketch. The thought of having to travel again in a few weeks is making me shudder.
Am trying to catch up with washing and housework today, a necessary evil.
Still haven't caught up with the thread but hope all the friendlies are well
<3 <3 <3 to you all,

Cath xx

Morning All,

Cath ....You need a holiday ,a real one ! :-0 I was getting concerned about you but at least your OK back to your safe home.

Its raining here, and my grandson is camping on the Moors !! :-S bless him I hope he's got warm socks for the morning .LOL

Got them all coming for a Sunday Roast as its Grandsons birthday and I have bought him a Chocolate cake with loads of Choc Flakes,for me :-D

Just got to finish my packing.....has anyone got any rellies in North Devon Church graves that want looking up ? mainly Bideford & Appledore .

Marilyn xxxx <3 Concerned about SHELLY now ....... :-S

morning the life boat is standing by. and I have entered it in the logbook for watership surrey.
The car park is under water. an ambulance was called out by a nurse who had come to see to an elderly lady
It came into the car park and water shot up all along it, it reminded me of the water shute at a fair
I have never seen anything like this. we were flooded out once when we lived on the coast in Norfolk.and was on standby to be taken to a rest place.
I never thought I would see so much water in such a short space of time.

My PMR is playing up due to the damp and is very painful. I had about 2 hours sleep last night, taking painkillers as well.

I hope everyone has got better weather.

have a good sunday.

Morning. I wont say good, because it isnt.

Strange that since the hosepipe ban came into place, we have had nothing but rain.

Just sorting out my wellybums for work. I shall have to take clothes to change into. I shall be soaked before I get there regardless of whether I jump on the bus or not.

Hope everyone is well. Cath what a performance.

Have a good day all.
:-)

Morning all
Stephen please send us some sunshine. It's so misersble here. I haven't been in the garden for days other than to fill the bird feeders.

No plans for today.

I finished 3 cardigans yesterday Mo, having managed to get wool to finish the front bands of one and sewing buttons on all of them.
I started some tiny hats for the Special Care unit, thanks to some patterns recommended by Jude on another thread.

Well have as good a day as you can everyone

A Wee Chuckle for the day


Getting in for half price


It was England v. Ireland at Wembley.

It may have been at that very match when the two Clancy brothers approached the turnstile.

'How much is it?' said Michael.

Twenty pounds,' said the ticket seller.

'Well, I've only got one eye and so I'm only paying ten!'

And, wonder of wonders, the man let him in.

'And I'm only paying ten pounds,' said Owen Clancy.

'Hang on,' said the turnstile keeper, 'you've got two eyes!'

'Yes,' said Owen,........

'but I've only come to see Ireland.'



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

Morning All !

What a glorious morning here again. Sunshine. Had to scrape the car though as we had hard Frost last night. I can put up with that as long as the day is nice and sunny :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I opened the newspaper yesterday to see a few photographs of a chap I know. He was doing some movements on the Parallel Bars and a Trampoline also caught in flight doing a backflip. Looked really good.
He was celebrating his Birthday. Ron is 82......yes 82..... years young..

We met at Gymnastic Competitions years ago and now I feel ashamed that as his Junior in years I haven't had my hands on a set of Parallel Bars for a very loooooonnnnnnggggg time. It would probably break my neck anyway.

More gardening today, it's beginning to shape up well . I'll keep going while I have the drive and enthusiasm ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Nice to have you back Cath. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Pity things didn't go too well for you :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

To all you lovely folk.......

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well , keep safe , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Evening all

Got on the thread straight away tonight, first time for ages.

Good to see you back Cath, shame about the trip home.
What a wet day it's been, I got soaked this morning turning out the horses, I put my friend's pony out for her and his field is at the end of a long track.

Had lasagne for tea tonight and apple pie for afters.

Marilyn i love Rhododendrens but they don't like my garden, have never been able to grow one.

~~~~ to all

<3

Afternoon All.

What a horrid day again. I went to the West End this morning. I walked there to give my legs a stretch.

There is a discount book/dvd shop down there. We have loads of videos that need replacing, so I make a point of going down there once a month to see if I can find the titles we need.

Funny how you realise how many of your shoes or boots let water, when it continuously rains aint it?

sees ya
:-D
