Good Morning All
off to sunny Blackpool today i hope lol
a bit of sea air should do me good then maybe get ready for another grave hunt tomorrow It looks like its going to be a good day again
was thinking about the book again and have started to put all my family tree stuff in some order now so maybe thats a good start

Good morning everyone,

I hope that you all have a pleasant day and hopefully some laughter and fun!

Th sky here is not as blue as recently and there are clouds in the sky and they are not all the little white fluffy clouds but rather more omminous than that. It is warm outside and becoming oppressive so maybe we are due for some heavy rain today. It would clear the air and help water the garden so we just have to wait and see.
Army son and girlfriend left last night and went back to Barcelaona to have a meal with older brother and by now they should be at the airport ready to go back to UK.


OHs youngest son is arriving tomorrow for a week...he is the father of three children from 9yrs down to 2 yrs. We were hoping that they would also be with him but their mother has changed her telephone number, and stopped all contcat. As they are not yet divorced I keep advising him to go to a solicitor but it is difficult because he still has is own mother in the UK and there are some mental health problems as well. Both he and his wife have Bi Polar diisease as does his older brother and his mother.

Now when they take their medication everything is fine but if not.....

Thankfully the older son keeps to his regime is happily married and there are no probs. I do understand why the mother may have been advised not to allow the children out of England but she could have told him earlier as the tickets were bought in March. Oh well this is going to need its' own five minutes of reflection today. Maybe some of you who read this could also send some positive thoughts.


Kingkeith I shall think of you today, looking at grave yards for other people, my folk are in Wiltshire at Mere so if anyone would like to look there for me...Have a good day Keith you sound a very positive person helping others.

Jenxx,how did the clean up go after the wedding? Your excitement and pride and glee came through your message very strongly , you sound so very happy take care

Dizzi, Now do not spill any coffee today, I am trying to picture you in my thought drinking coffe in a very calm manner and not spilling a drop!

have a good day.

Jet and Joe the dogs I keep mentioning have just let me know that they need their walk so I better be positive for them as well and take them for a walk. We do not go far as they have the run of the garden but they do like sniffing around. In the autumn and winter we take them to the Rocky end of the beaches and they simply love running into and swimming in the sea.

Bye for now everyone and I hope to hear from some of you..
Take care


Bridget

Your message came up whilst I was replying o others. I know exactly what you mean about the paint drying on the brush!! in the heat.
The Pool guys have arrived, they come once a fortnight to make sure evrything is working as it should and the water is sparkling in the sunshine. Oh and self at respective computers and son and girkfriiend still in the land of nod. They both work hard so they deserve the rest. They spent the first day and night with eldest son in Barca on their way down and tonight he is taking them to an excellent restaurant,,,,, anyway how can one not enjoy Barcelona.

Hope your day continues to be a good one


brdiget

Hi Keith, Which graveyard do you visit...I may need you if any of my ancestors are there!!

Jenxx, the wedding sounds wonderful and your description is so easy to visualise.

Do stay in touch on this thread as I feel sure that you could write some great messages.

Recover from your hectic day...
Bridget

Good morning Bridget and everybody,
A bit of cloud today but not to worry will maybe get more housework done NOT. At this time of year particularly, the mornings are the best part of the day as the heat from the previous day has dissipated and we start afresh, OH busy painting the reijas (window grills) before the paint dries on the brush and I am just thinking about getting the breakfast ready.
So glad you had time with your son & girlfriend, hope they enjoy Barcelona.
Speak soon,
Frances

Good Morning All
What a wonderful Day we had Sun shone all day
7-30 yesterday we dressed the tables with cream table clothes ...peach roses and gyp for the flower arrangements .... floating candles ....looked so pretty..... Sister dressed in cream dress and jacket looked radiant
married at 12-30 ..... then back to the bungalow for the party ....open invites so we were not sure how many would show up ....well there were almost a 100 people the drinks flowed.. food was plentiful ... wonderful atmosphere ... still going strong when OH and I left at 10-30 ......Dread to think what mess we have to clean up this morning ....lol

Good morning everyone
well i had a great day looking around a grave yard for a fellow member and got some great photos for them

so today i may go back and see if i can help them even more
i was just thinking its always nice to help each other What a world it would be if we could just do that

Good morning everyone and a rather late start for me.

Yesterday was another hot.hot day and this gave ius a good excuse fro being very lazy. We didn't do anything very special, simply the basic house work, sunbathed, did a little reading, chatted and chatted again.
OH went early in the morning to Lidl as they had an offer on beer and so they joined the queue and bought rather a lot between them ready for the August visits from family and friends. It was so busy with people rushing to get the beer that they took photos....now how sad is that.

Last night was the last night that my son and girlfriend will be here, this evening they are heading for Barcelona to visit the eldest brother, who lives there, and they are going out with him, then staying at his place until the get the coach to Girona airport....It doesn' seem more than a couple of days since the call came to say that they were having a suprise visit to us.

It has been a delight to spend some time with them and I have really got to know the girlfriend and she is exactly right for him and I am sending a prayer or two hoping that he asks the all important question very soon, i guess I will have to see if the positive thinking helps.

Although it is 08.00 hrs here it is so quiet you could hear a pin drop, not even the trees are swaying, the sky looks very blue not a cloud in siight and the world or should I say my world feels calm.
Even my two dogs jet and Joe are lying quietly beside me.

However like everyone life is not all smooth and yesterday we learnt that OHs youngest son and his 3 children will not be arriving on Sunday as the childrens mother has now refused to allow them to leave the UK for a holiday. She has also changed her telephone number so cannot even speak to them by phone. This is so sad not only for us but for the children as well and is also rather worrying. I may post more about this on another thread as the real story is about two people both of whom have bipolar Illness.

I shall of course have them in my quiet few minutes along with everyone else that I think about each morning and afternoon. I started this only this year because it was difficult for me to go to church due to work, distance and and a few other problems. I have found it has been a wonderful experience and I certainly do not do anything special I simly have a cup of coffee or tea, wander around the garden, sit looking over the sea or sometimes I am even doing my ironong and everyone Who I have promised to sgive some positive thought are given their special minute or two and then I add the family. As i learn that people have resolved their situtaion or that they are coping better they go into the group thought....I do hope that this doesn,t sound as if I am a freak...believe me I am far from Mrs Goody two shoes!!! Oh I could write a book!!!!


Well I have rambled on as usual so now it is your turn to either read or ignore but whatever the choice have a great day

bye for now

Your area sounds delightful and thanks for responding. We thought about living inland but having lived by the sea for most of my life we decided that we couldn,t be without it. Also around this area inland is plagued by flies for August ansd sepetember. The authorities have started to spray some ares and improvements are taking place but the sea is still the palce for me.

The temp is in the low 40s today and as our houe is cut into rather than rising out of we have our own tropical temps....howeber it is better than Weston Super Mare in UK where according to a friend I have just been talking to it is"bucketing it down ".

I hope that you enjoy your day and and post again tomorrow when I have written my thoughts or maybe you will beat me to it and write yours ahaed of me. There is so much doom and gloom I simply thought it would be a good idea to remember some positive things and thoughts....I hope this doesn't offend anyone as I do reply to many threads where people are having difficulties just as I did a few months ago when so many people here supported me.


Hav a good day


bridget

Bridget,
Another hot, sunny day...
Well we are not exactly in Calpe we are about 6ks inland 'the wrong side of the N332'. We began in Torrevieja but soon decided that that was a mistake so decided to look further up the coast and found this lovely valley and our tiny house and moved here almost 10 years ago.
Nothing's perfect but this almost is!!!

Jexx, Have a wondeful day and I am sure that the sun will shine on you all. When I married OH all the guests arrived at the Reg Office in wonderful sunshine, as we left home having sent children of both of us in their own Limo, the heavens opened. When we reached th RO , as I stepped out of the car I stepped into a puddle. My silk suit was covered in spots of rain , and my "hairdo" had disappeared.
We were all so happy it really didn't matter and we all laughed as the guests applauded us.


May your sisier have a long and happy marriage.
Bridget
